Married in 1946 to Ralph Edward Schrader (who only died in 2017 age 99). She was born Vera Esther Parrish in Arkansas on 14 November 1913 (not 1914, her birth certificate on Ancestry confirms 1913). Oddly, the Ancestry trees list 5 children (all listed as private) rather than 3 - but given they...

Born Danica Diana Smeljanic in Yugoslavia in 1892/3 and married to Luka (Louis) Lonkar. The odd thing about this case is the withdrawal of $1000. That is $12000 in todays value. What was the purpose/reason?

An estimated height of 5ft 0ins for the unidentified compared to Carlota's 5ft 6ins (at when she went missing and may have grown further) seems quite a big difference, especially as the unidentified was not skeletonised. But large errors in estimates are not unknown so worth submitting.

A little more information on the family. The obituary of his brother Gregory at https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/appealdemocrat/name/gregory-scandalis-obituary?id=9716283 notes that he raised the three children of Doris and Alexander Scandalis after the latter's death with Air America in...

I am pretty sure he was married. On Ancestry there is a marriage record for Jeffrey A Coonradt in Monterey in 1981, which also lists him as age 21. There is also a family tree from a member of the Coonradt family which includes a spouse and two children (shown as private indicating still...

This is an odd case. Not only did Gerald's father change his name, as detailed in #3 above but it also transpires that he was the subject of an insanity committal under the Montrio name in Tulsa in 1937. The name change and family history are extensively detailed with source records on Ancestry...

She was born Diane Lee Elmore and married Blair Vernon Peckham in 1975 when he was 18 and she was 25. There is a family tree on Ancestry with a Don Elmore as the owner and I wonder if he is a sibling since that was also her father's name (who died in 1968). I do wonder about Blair. He remarried...

Bump. He came from Pennsylvania. His mother, Cecelia Margaret Newborg died in 2009 and details of the surviving family can be found at her memorial at Cecelia Margaret “Peg” Henderson Newborg .... It should be noted that his surviving sibling (in 2009) has also since died.

I have revisited after 3 years and realise I may have been too certain (at #6 above) to say Laurie Daniels, her friend, was not Miss Florida. Whilst she certainly was not in the reported 1959 I now realise that she may have been in 1954 when the winner was Ann Gloria Daniel. One abbreviation of...

The 2 links are behind a paywall so those interested may prefer to go to Part 2 - Lullaby of Gangland by Fredric Dannen which has a brief version of the same story (about halfway down). It seems that McNair and Brown stiffed the Genovese mob family by counterfeiting tickets for a concert...

I would assume this was just one of the murders in the Youngstown mob struggles given that it was the most corrupt town in the USA through to the convictions of congressman James Traficant and the local mob head Lenny Strollo circa 20 years ago. The combination of the mugshots and a 21 year old...

I thought I had been clear that I also doubt the espionage theory regarding Whitacre and believe it was a probable robbery. However I must disagree with the rest of your case. Koval was an educated man but his role had nothing to do with that and he simply took advantage of his access in a low...

Her father died in 2020 and her mother in 2021. She still has 3 living siblings and many other relatives. The details can be found on her mothers obituary at Obituary for Patricia J (Cloutier) Lovitt | Stone Funeral Home, Inc. which states that Pamela went missing at the age of 17.

Mount Holyoke College is a pretty prestigious liberal arts college founded to provide a sort of female only rival to the Ivy League colleges in the 19th century, so I am pretty sure the Secretarial College is different.

It almost certainly is her former spouse as it is the right area, Ancestry records confirm a full name of Kenneth William on both a marriage record to Dorothy Mae Moen and on a death record for the date and location, and the birthdate on the death record is consistent with the one on the divorce...

Just reminded of this thread. The problem with the Cornwell proposal is that, as I read the FOIA documents, he did not admit to causing her death but rather this was alleged by a previous wife with a dislike who based it on an alleged conversation with a current wife going through a divorce...

His mother, born Sue Van Hook, died as Sue Correll in 1998. The obituary at The Courier-Journal from Louisville, Kentucky does not mention Carl. Carl appears in the 1950 census with his mother and stepfather (the Moody's divorced in 1946). At that time he was not in the forces so seems to have...

Post #7 above notes a reported death date of December 1975 which also appears on various trees on Ancestry. Rather than relating to the missing I suspect this may be a case of identity confusion. Also on Ancestry there is a death record for Ann Estella Hannah from Nashville, Tennessee who is...

The odd thing about this case is why, if you are going off to commit suicide, you withdraw $650 for the trip. $650 in 1968 is equivalent to over $5000 today. To me that suggests some other motive, although it in no way precludes him falling victim to other means - wildlife, crime or simply...

I'm sorry but the idea of this being an inside insurance job by the company is laughable. I was in insurance from 1979, including 20 years at director level, and whilst such frauds were common I never came across a single one organised by a company on the scale of Corning or quoted on a major...
