No, NW, near Camp Muffly.

Thanks, Vandalia. Looks like 2 or 3 miles as the crow flies, but I think that further northwest, that's the road that is seriously deteriorated. Tried to drive it, almost got stuck, but it would take an ATV or maybe a Jeep now. To get from 321 Weirton Mine Road to where the bodies were left now...

Just wanted to let you all know that we now have Episode 7 of "Mared and Karen: The WVU Coed Murders" available for you. You can find it here: https://soundcloud.com/maredandkaren. All free, of course. Episode 7: Not Letting Go dropped less than 24 hours ago and has had 2700 listens so far. Be...

angelfire78, thanks for your thoughtful reply. I understand why you still think Clawson committed the crime, and was glad to hear that you had listened to the podcast so far. The book has far more details about why Sarah and I don't believe Clawson did it. One of my hesitancies--especially back...

Hi, folks! My name is Geoffrey Cameron Fuller and I started this thread as Geocam back in 2006. I grew up in Morgantown, and Mared and Karen were murdered when I was 9. I suppose my interest started then. I attended the first trial of Eugene Paul Clawson in 1976 and by the time I started this...

Hey folks, I haven't checked in for a while--thought no one was really checking this thread out! Anyway, book plans are still in the making but we have one thing that's come up lately we want to run down, just to be certain. Does anyone know where I can get more information on John Brennan...

Interesting case, Kline. Do keep us posted, please.

After investigating for three years (not counting the years Richard put into the case before I came on board), we are closing it out for now. We believe we have located the person who killed the coeds, but after talking with the DA in Monongalia County, have learned that we do not have quite...

I now have more specifics. Does any one have--or know where I can find--information about the following murder victims: Terry Roach Patsy Dawn Sparks Maebelle Clark The first two were murdered in the Parkersburg area in 1991 or 1992. The third was abducted from Athens, Ohio, and her body was...

Does anyone have any information about the unsolved murder of a 19-year-old woman who was killed in or near Parkersburg, West Virginia, in 1991? Or do you know where I can find the information? Thanks, Geocam

Brandy, Marsha Ferber went missing from Morgantown on a Sunday in the spring 1988 (April, as I remember). She was the owner of the Underground Railroad (now 123 Pleasant) and the Earth House (quasi-communal living place up College from the 'Lair). Many rumors swirled around her disappearance...

Interesting idea, LillyRush. The only things I could find so far are that a marriage ended in 1969 or 1970, in Georgia, I believe. And he had a chauffeurs license in Florida 1970-1972. Most of his activity seems to have been centered around those two states, but authorities are apparently...

Wildcat66, Newspaperarchive.com has scanned in literally millions of newspapers, some going back to the 1800s. They have all the Morgantown papers, even the ones that have folded, like the Dominion News and the Morgantown Post, which have now been combined to the current Dominion Post. There...

Wildcat, The only stolen car report on the weekend of January 18, 1970, in Pittsburgh was filed on Monday the 19th. That report was used in both Clawson trials. Stains on the back seat of the car were tested and found to be from a beverage. The hair was found in West Virginia on Conn Hill...

Hello again, folks, Some surprising new info this time. Turns out that on December 24, 1970, eight months after the coeds' bodies were found, a man named William Bernard Hacker was arrested in Baltimore for killing and decapitating a man named Herbert Lynn Cobun earlier that month in...

Does anyone have any information about a series of decapitations in West Virginia, whether solved or unsolved? I've heard rumors--like the one posted just above--but none of the rumors have been sourced. Can anyone point me toward articles or books that mention any murder-decapitations in West...

Marilynilpa, Yes! I'd be very itnerested in those cases in the '30s and '40s. Do you know where they happened? Town or county? Were they a Kanawha Valley kind of thing or in the eastern panhandle? Elsewhere? Not sure if they would have a direct impact on the coed case, but I've been...

I've been off of this site for a while, but wanted to reply to a couple of things LisainWV said. Clawson is still in Mount Olive, and the WV State Police have reopened the case. Lisa, you present a very solid summary of the things known about Clawson, and I was wondering if most of your souces...

LisainWV, Thanks for posting the WV Unsolved stuff. A couple of things, though. I just want to say that I am not commenting on the basis of the fact that I knew about the case personally. You're probably confusing this thread with the other one, the one about Marsha Ferber, who I did know...

Mischa and Lisa, On the calendar note: I used my computer time clock to look back to 1988, but I forgot to change the month. Oops, my bad. When I changed it to April, I found out that Mischa was right: Sunday was the 24th. She was probably reported missing on Monday, and that's why she is...
