Hello :+:MrTT:+:, and thank you for your response. I am not aware of any suspects named Stan or Kurt or Curt. If I recall correctly, in addition to McGee, I think the Kathy Jones suspect, Edward Warner Adcox, might have been questioned about Anderson, but I'd have to go back and confirm that...

The local Nashville media covered the series of crimes differently fifty years ago than the local media has remembered them in recent years. Today they are remembered as a series of local unsolved 1960s murders of young girls across the city of Nashville, the canonical victims being Wanda June...

A crime wave was in the neighborhood at the time; the geography of the area was key to understanding how the local media and public saw the series of crimes and how they were related (more on this in later posts). For those not familiar with this Nashville neighborhood: The area in question...

Hello Bessie, and thank you. "Fifty years is neither too long nor too late for a cold case resolution." I'd like to post more on him and other suspects later, but for one quick example, the authorities have looked at Edward Joseph McGee...

In remembrance of Wanda June Anderson, fifty years ago today. On the evening of Thursday, July 15th, 1965, Wanda June Anderson, 11 years old, was babysitting her six nephews and nieces (including ten-week old twin girls) while her older sister and brother in law were out. They had left at 10...

Trying to narrow down even more closely where she was found, an article in the LA Times (April 15, 1968) had some additional information, describing her as lying face down in a drainage ditch separating two plowed fields "about 150 yards south of Yorktown Ave...." The article also seems to...

Thank you, Ambercat, for the 1972 article. It's interesting the scenario it proposes. Doenetwork.org makes it sound like she was assaulted and murdered right there in the field: "Police theorize that she got in a car with a man somewhere locally and the pair drove to a large field used for...

Some names of places have changed in the past 28 years, but I’ve wanted to attempt to retrace her steps that night with addresses and images. The Hampton Inn, Mission Viejo 26328 Oso Pkwy Mission Viejo, CA 92691...

Trying to get a mental image of where this happened and what area/intersection looked like. By way of written description: "The victim was located in an empty field near Yorktown Avenue and Newland Street in Huntington Beach, CA. "Police theorize that she got in a car with a man somewhere...

Trying to get a firmer idea on what the Circus room was, and where it was. Various descriptions online have it being a bar, a restaurant, a seedy "dive" in a place called "Blood Alley," etc. What I am finding thus far: It goes back to at least the 1950s when it was located at 111 American...

The way the New York Post reported it in 2011, it sounds like there were virtually no doubts re: the person who saw the sketch on television and contacted the police about an old acquaintance named "Rosie" who worked at the Circus Room in Long Beach in 1967/68. From the article: An old pal...

Found an article from the Long Beach newspaper, The Independent, January 17, 1969 (page 20) re: her burial, plus with a different drawing of her. Second copy of article (darkened):

The Knoxville News Sentinel (Dec. 15th) refers to Glenda as being found "400 yards off of a sideroad"; The Tennessean (Dec. 15th) reported that she had been discovered “about 100 yards off Lakeland Road” and that a dog had carried her shoe “to a house about 200 yards from where...
