In researching the West Windsor, NJ missing case of Fran Gladden-Smith, I spoke to the local West Windsor police. I believe the picture was found among John David Smith III's possessions when he was arrested for the murder of his first wife, Janice E. Hartman. The local police said this woman...

In rereading some of the old posts, it occurred to me that perhaps the "camera" was given to that couple who tried to lure Anna a short time prior to her disappearance and someone in the car took her picture for passport services.

I'm going to put out another theory about who GB might have been. As I'm going over draft registration forms for any GB, I noticed the one in Cleveland (listing DOB as 1890) worked for Arma Co. and later records show "Spring" companies. During WWII anyone with abilities in machinery were...

I may have posted this as a possibility earlier, but I'm not sure if it was addressed. On PorchlightUSA I read a great deal about the missing PA man named James Samuel Rapp. It appears that he went missing on July 12, 2004 after forging his daughter's name on several accounts amounting to...

I'm unsure if this man has already been explored but James Samuel Rapp was missing from PA 0n 7/12/04. His dob is 12/8/47, h-5'10" 190 lbs. black hair, blue eyes. NCIC # M844228067. Interestingly this man was about to be indited for stealing money from his daughter. We were told that our BK...

Has anyone considered Amy Billig, the 17 year old kidnapped from FL 3/4/74 by a possible member of a motorcycle gang? Girls were considered commodities and I believe there were some known motorcycle gang hangouts in that area of PA at that time, if I remember correctly. A gang member clearly...

The strongest of these leads seems to be Doe 1162DFCA in my opinion. Wilma Rae Vermaas. Her description says she was also known as Wilma Rae Swanson...hence the WSR a monogram. The numbers afterwards may have been her way to try to identify herself, perhaps part of her birthdate 5/24/57...

Sorry about my limited ability to post pictures but you guys are sure talented. This next one probably was already investigated and I'm not sure the dates match up or age perhaps, but it is from Georgia. Elliot Calhoun Rountree missing from Atlanta in 9/04...dob 4/6/68 but he is reported as...

When I was searching California's missing person website for R. Miller I came across what seemed like an odd coincidence. There was the case of Kyle Wade Clinkscales who disappeared while a student at Auburn University on 1/27/76. He was bartending at the Moose Club in La Grange and it is...

Since GW and both his parents are now deceased, I wonder if some of his extended family members might be approached again in the event that they might really know something and might be willing to speak more freely at this point in time than previously. A second random middle of the night...

Although I haven't posted recently due to work and family commitments, I have tried to read discussions. I wonder if you might try to access states with open adoption records here in the U.S., especially where GW or GB might have had contacts or ties. If GW were involved with Anna's...

I hope this is not redundant but I just noticed a newer missing person posted on North American Missing case #01134070. This was just posted on Nov. 11, 2008. It deals with a missing man named Royal Christopher Miller missing from Pomona, CA on Sept. 17, 2000. While I'm not sure all the stats...

Georgia Tann was no longer operating after 1950. In fact she died in the very early 50's. There were plenty of other stealers and dealers though at the time.

Perhaps this is a little naive on my part, but I plugged in the named Anna Christian Effie Waters on the site GovtRegistry.com under adoption records and they suggested a hit. This is a site one has to pay for, so I am not clear if they were actually responding to the entire name or not since I...

I recently read the new book by David Stout "The Boy in the Box." What struck me is that the focus in the investigation seemed to be with whom the boy was living. This was during a time when Black Market baby selling was prevalent. Georgia Tann and Bessie Bernard were notorious baby sellers...

Fran disappeared in 1991 from NJ. It is believed that she is not alive. Her husband John Smith III is convicted of murdering his first (?) wife in 1974 and is serving time in prison. Some pictures were found in his possession when he was arrested in CA and not identified. Fran Smith's...

I have been following Fran Smith's case and have spoken to West Windsor, NJ police. They have identified this woman as Katherine Ross. She is alive.

I haven't read all the parts of this thread, so forgive me if this has already been explored. Perhaps the girl is Karen Lynn Zendrosky missing 10/23/1979 from Bordentown, NJ. She was seen at a site known for its parties with two men in their 20's. She had long brown hair, green eyes and may...

Joe Ford's description is fairly accurate as I understand the concept of folie a deux. It is usually associated with one person holding a particularly strange notion or even a delusion. The person may or may not have a psychotic diagnosis. It can sometimes be viewed as a delusion. An example...

Any idea why the death certificate, which did not appear to have "the official seal" was dated in 1982 if she died in 1967? Just an aside, I actually worked at Vassar Hospital as a teen many, many years ago. There were two hospitals that trained nurses in the area. This was the one for those...
