Another comprehensive look at the case is 'The Green River Killer' by Carlton Smith,it was updated after Ridgeway's arrest with additional material. Its well worth reading for those who would like to know more about these crimes.

Sharon Derick has really been above and beyond the call in this case. Texas and Harris county really owe her a debt of gratitude for her compassionate and dedicated service in this case. Youve got to feel for the original Coroners office staff back in the early seventies though. Twenty seven...

Its my understanding he was. The blindfold business is somewhat intriguiging....Lonnie obviously saw whoever picked him up and Im sure he was aware what was happening to him. Who's benefit was the blindfold for? Him or his killer? Going on just a gut instinct Id say there was probably one...

Well I wouldnt want to jump to conclusions but the description of how his wrists were bent up behind his back and the fact that his killer made a point of removing whatever was binding them certainly makes one wonder. Though you dont have to be a policeman to have handcuffs....Ive probably got...

I dont know if he had any money on him or not.....its my understanding that he was nude when he was found but like everything else perhaps Ill discover different. Im sure he was scared....he was only 12,of course 12 was in some ways older then but to find himself that late at night with no way...

I dont know if they were broken or not,it just said 'bent into grotesque position behind back'. Obviously the killer wanted to keep whatever Lonnie's hands were bound with. I think the 'frustrating the killer' part was the powers that be trying to hedge or put out there for the benefit of his...

I think 'MOO' is shorthand for'My Own Opinion' (I think) I was able to find out little more information (some of which contradicts what I thought I knew of course). Lonnie disappeared SATURDAY night of the Fair he was last seen by two high school boys a Bob Hill 19 and a Leroy Kidder 17 when...

Yes.I think it must have been a bandanna type too,carrying them was alot more common then. The DNA angle is something ive contemplated as well...especially in light of the(unsubstantiated) rumors that it was relative that killed him. That part of the legend was still alive and well when I first...

One would certainly think. Im taking another run at it next week,wish me luck.

I wish I knew what was talked about,it would only have been about a twelve minute ride. More info that is probably in the investigation file.

Thats your real name? Thats awesome.I thought you were pulling my leg!:crazy:

Yes.It is sparsely populated more so back then. I dont know what kind of truck it was...it could very easily have been a logging truck then as now there are many on the roads. I would like to know the truckdriver's name as well.I havent been able to gain access to the file yet.Very...

Ill have to review the article but im certain it said it was Lonnie's handkerchief.

Historicaly from my experience the carnival closes by late afternoon on Sunday the day of the Lumberjack competitions,tears down that night and is pretty much gone by monday morning. I would have to assume it was pretty much the same in the early 50's. It wasnt the truckdriver who made the call...

I was going to post on this but frankly I couldnt articulate my own feelings any better then you just did.Thank You.

A good percentage of Jim Morrison's early work especially the first two Doors allbums certainly bore the influence of Owsley's product. At least until Morrison gave up the halucinigenics in favor of floating down the Whiskey River to his grave. He probably would have been better off sticking...

One has to wonder about someone keen to acquire a signature or piece of artwork by someone who's claim to fame is victimizing and murdering another human being. There is quite a little market for this stuff though. Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. who is serving six life sentences for his very active...

I still dont beleive there is any real Royalty connection though its easy to see why some folks might find that idea intriuging. As I said before my money is still on Monty Druitt but I still think its entirely likely the Ripper was a nobody who left no real tracks in this world(especially if he...

There are an inordinate amount of unsolved missing/murder cases in the Lewiston/Clarkston/Moscow area. Lewiston LE's track record in that department is less then stellar to put it mildly they let a serial killer responsible for the Civic Theater Murders likely responsible for at least five...

Ive seen that phrase before,its pretty antique usually its a nice way to put on a Death Certificate doing something stupid or reckless that results in your own death. As a lucky survivor of many 'misadventures ' in my younger days I can relate. She was certainly a rare talent and it is a tragic...
