I stayed at a resort just a couple of miles down the road from Lake Toxaway for a long weekend a few years back, in early November. I was not aware of this camp's proximity at the time. I also can't find its location on Google Maps or Google Earth - in fact searching for Trails Carolina leads to...

Is there anyone here who has access to the Globe and can summarize the article using the 10% content maximum? Thank you in advance.

Article in the Philadelphia Inquirer noting that it's been 10 years + since Melissa Ortiz-Rodriguez was last heard from. A Delaware County mother vanished 10 years ago. Her loved ones are still searching for answers. (Behind a paywall unfortunately.) The article includes an interview with the...

My heart breaks for this young girl. She had such a difficult life after her young childhood, and sadness suffuses her portrait. (Is it a school photo? It looks like one.) I fear that even if Patricia did deliberately "run away" as reported, she never got anywhere near where she intended to go...

Tinicum Township, Bucks County and Resolution Island are significantly upstream on the Delaware River from the Tinicum marsh and township area in Delaware County, and even further from Marcus Hook which is south of the Delco Tinicum Twp. If the search for David Horn was centered on the Delco...

I am puzzled about that wording as well. It seems quite deliberately phrased to indicate they're on track to identify her, but need some corroborating information from family or records that they haven't yet unearthed. The word "update" indicates (to me, anyway) they may be planning to ask for...

Given the era of his birth, it's quite possible the shape of his head was due to an injury caused by the use of forceps during his delivery.

Even more off topic - I used to live in an area of eastern Delco that was developed from the Sellers family's historic estate lands. I never knew much about them other than place/building names and cemetery markers, and that their house was an Underground Railroad site. Now I know they were...

Agreed - if the family to which @spacedcurls refers is the one I'm thinking of, their philanthropy regarding specialized health and care facilities for children has always been a subject of local lore. I can't even remember the first time I heard about them in that context - it had to be at...

Physical or electronic evidence tying the suspect to the crime, that is strong enough to hold up in court. A prosecutor may not need the victim's remains, but they need something more tangible than theories – even educated ones from people acquainted with Anna and/or the suspect. I've seen no...

Subscribed – a very easy and fast process. Thanks othram!

It's revolting that justice has been evaded in this case, particularly as there is a vulnerable child whose well-being is at risk being raised by his mother's murderer, and there is no legal way that custody can be interfered with or even supervised so long as said murderer remains uncharged. I...

The newsrnd article says Marie-Hélène Audoye has "piercing green eyes". Eye color can be an imprecise descriptor however. Was "Jennifer's" eye color suggested by anyone who observed her alive, or only by a medical examiner or similar official post mortem?

I really like the straightforward scrollable newsfeed layout. A line or two of white space between entries would make it look crisper, and easier for those of us with vision problems to focus on or to pick out one particular case. Thank you!

I'm also sorry for your loss. We appreciate whatever time you are able to dedicate to updating and informing us here, but your own needs and your family's come first.

She was only @12 miles from home, and both locations are well under a mile from entrances/exits for I-95, so it's maybe a 15 minute drive. I suspect the abandoned distillery was a location known to whoever took her there (I'm assuming she didn't get to the location on her own, as we've heard no...

Ahhh ... that's where I got the idea that Lisa was about fourteen. :( Her young life must have been so difficult, even before the brutal fateful encounter that ended it. I hope she knew she mattered, no matter what social disapproval or limits she may have run into as an extremely young...

The second Jane Doe referenced in this article by Bensalem PD Detective Chris McMullin also has a thread on Websleuths: Identified! - PA - Bensalem, WhtFem 461UFPA, 20-30, pregnant, in pumphouse, Jan'88 - Lisa Todd I hope that genetic genealogy plus some good standard police work will visit...

My apologies - it's been a while since I perused this case and I got some of the facts wrong in my post immediately above. As Lisa was seventeen (not fourteen as I misremembered) at the time of her disappearance she may well have been in the senior class at her high school and thus featured...
