I've thought this for some time. There are just too many unsolved murders of women--I currently live in a county a few hours away with a much higher population, and we have basically none. However, when I've talked to a friend of the family in law enforcement, he says that LE knows what happened...
They've released a reconstruction for this man. I don't know how they came to the conclusion he was older, put apparently they did.
Do you recognize this man? Human remains found in 2017 in Pennsylvania still unidentified
Moreover, the other East-West route in New York is the Thruway, which in addition to tolls, has tollbooths with people who might remember you--and now there are cameras, though I'm not so sure that was the case in the early 80s. But 17/86 is desolate--no tollbooths, and hardly any rest stops, even.
Also, for those wondering, that area of New York in the 80s definitely used area code+7 digit phone numbers. Some old people remembered their exchanges, but they were long gone.
Thought I'd bring this case back up since it's been on my mind! I lived in the Ellery area at the time and am still somewhat local. The road where she was dropped is unusually desolate for a divided highway, and was moreso in the 80s--she definitely isn't the only body found along there (the...
Wow! I'm so happy for her family--what a relief after all this time. But that guy... holding onto the information until he could get something for himself out of it--there's a special place in hell...
Here's a super-cynical, possibly way off-base theory about why the women adopted the second set of kids: the first set were light-skinned and looked biracial, and so could probably pass as one of the women's biological children. If they were out in public together, no one would know how heroic...
I mostly agree with you but I think the situation was about two degrees darker. I don't think they were basically good people who occasionally flipped out and slapped the kids and who, one day, had a sudden suicidal impulse. If they were basically regular folks we wouldn't be this intrigued. I...
My goodness, those kids are adorable, but there's nothing about this exchange or photo that is even slightly realistic. Even the snowball between the boys looks fake--with that thin layer of snow, a giant snowball would be full of sticks, stones, leaves, etc. The kids just randomly built a fire...
Well, this explains it, I think. (Research backs you up.) The swelling can come and go, apparently. If we've never seen this before, it's not surprising; most of us have never seen a child deliberately--or undeliberately--starved.
I think that's a definite possibility, and I truly hope he did run away. But I think the women told the kids that, if CPS investigated, the siblings would be separated. I think they held that over the kids' heads. And so I doubt Devonte would leave all by himself. But who knows, it could have...
There are very few pictures of the kids eating--which is somewhat unusual in these times--but there is one picture of the two younger boys apparently sharing a cream pie. It looks as posed as all the others, of course, including the weird "martini" photos.
Honestly, I'd be surprised if these...
Does anyone else find it a little surprising that, even after a week, the newly-found body was still very close to where it went into the water? Does that mean that the other bodies are also likely nearby, if they were in fact in the SUV?
Two thoughts related to this picture: First, the shed structures out in the corner of the yard could be the chicken house. If I remember correctly, they did have chickens (or at least a chicken) at this newest home. My own chicken house looks very much like that: a shed with a sheltered run...
