Yes, I do believe that he had been killing girls and women for quite some time. I believe his killing started in 1987 or 1988 per another article that I read (which I will link to in a bit). His IQ was said to only be 80, which might be why he didn't think of the fact that there may be someone...

Does anyone know if LE has considered Larry Dewayne Hall as a possible suspect in this case? I didn't know that he was a potential suspect until a few days ago. Here is a link that discusses the reasons why some consider him a suspect in this case...

If I remember correctly, Sherril had $800 in her purse and it was not stolen. The only reason that I can think of that the purses were all lined up like that is because someone was looking for something specific in the purses and it wasn't money. It has been suggested that the cars were...

I searched the previous threads for the answer to this question, but I guess I didn't go back far enough. Can you refresh my memory on how the "Yard Sale Lady" described the driver of the van? Also, I just re-watched "Disappeared" and it was stated that the "Porch Lady" didn't send in her tip...

I have a question that might seem foolish to some, but I'm going to ask it anyway :) Does everyone agree that the person or persons involved in the abduction (and probable murder) of The Springfield Three more than likely had done something like this before 1992 and probably has done this...

Well, I'm here for the long haul :) Just because I don't always post, doesn't mean I don't lurk. I welcome any renewed interest in this case and look forward to the day when the PA takes his (or her) best shot!

See, that's what I thought I remembered regarding the partial print Hurricane, but then I searched the threads (using the keyword fingerprints) and came up with a quote from a Kansas City newspaper that said [paraphrased] "no DNA or fingerprints were found that belonged to outsiders." The term...

I don't know. I was hoping that there would be some kind of break in this case by now and yes, I admit, I was also hoping that CMW was that break. He more than likely isn't, but every stone should still be turned over just to make sure. People don't just start kidnapping and killing people at...

From my understanding, there was no DNA evidence and/or fingerprints found in the home that didn't belong there.

Yes, it is correct that one can get almost anywhere in Springfield within 20 minutes. Having said that, everything is relatively a hop, skip or jump around the corner. That's why it is possible that he could have met one of the girls at a party on Delmar some time before graduation night, he...

Does anyone have any local links that might shed light on to the investigation of this case? I mean, surely, LE doesn't think he just started doing these things suddenly at the age of 45...right? Are they searching properties other than his current one? Have they gone out to Ash Grove to...

Yes, MSU was SMSU (Southwest Missouri State University) when he and I went there. I was there from 1989 - 1993 and continued to live in Springfield until 1995.

I went to SMSU in 1992 (graduated in 1993) and at any given moment, there was a party going on at various locations on Delmar. CMW might have been a frequent visitor to that area to attend parties (like I was). P.S. Thank you for bringing this over here, PIM :)

I read on another board that a different serial killer has confessed to knowing that five women are buried in the Mark Twain national forest (I believe this is close to where I grew up in Southeast Missouri) and three of them are from Springfield. I don't think I am allowed to say where I read...

I feel the same way about the purses, Aura :) I have never thought that there was anything awry regarding the purses. I didn't start making my bed everyday until about 2 years ago :) lol This is a side note (I am not sure if you have read about this part or not), but I have recently...
