I listened to the podcast today. So many suspicious people in her young life. Interesting earlier in this thread they quoted the father as saying "she gave up and went to bed" but in the podcast he states that he gave her an ultimatum, either she move in with him or he's cutting her out of his...

Thank you for the update

A very odd and tragic story. I just downloaded the book so I'm looking forward to learning more about the story. What are the odds of the gun found with blood being linked to the son who was in another state at the time? Wonder if that was verified he was where he claimed to be.

That's great! I initially posted on Reddit yesterday and took me 3 tries to get it past their rules! LOL Well worth it, keep us updated. I live in Fayetteville now so that's what drew me to that particular Namus.

15 Mar 1990, 82 - The Tampa Tribune at Newspapers.com clipping of her husbands passing I feel awful for her family, the "girls" lost their dad and then 3 months later their mother disappeared.

An article from December 3, 1984 talks about how she was concerned about child abductions and had her daughters do a video. 3 Dec 1984, 9 - The Tampa Tribune at Newspapers.com This article is the obit for her father and does list a sister by the name of Beverly 26 Feb 1990, 54 - The Tampa...

Yeah, looking more into this and getting a subscription to newspapers.com I agree she's likely not a match with the lady found in Fayetteville. Very possible about the Newton Grove one you posted. Are you pursing this and will submit as a potential match? I think someone should look into it.

Good luck, I hope this family gets closure for both girls.

There is so little I could find for Ms Pickens and felt someone should be talking about her. Here is the synopsis: “Vernelle Pickens returned to Asheville for two days to visit her family, and then stated she was leaving again and going to Raleigh. Family has not seen or heard from victim...

I haven't been able to find a picture yet for Vernelle and I know the dates are close to date last contacted vs date found. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Any possibility this could be her? The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

It's been over a year now but Nameus still shows Paul as a missing person from 1964. How long does it take before they update it?

Was there any indication on what they were looking for in the lake and if they found anything? How was she killed? My heart breaks for the family.

I would certainly say that Case File 478UMFL could be a match, the age and dates are possible. Odd that there is a 4 year difference in is possible year of birth. Surely he has family looking for him that can provide accurate information.

Are there any updates since 2018?

Are there any updates with the detective contacted by pass-thru or in general?

I came here to say the same thing...hopefully the local law enforcement agencies are looking into a possible match.

I'm from Lakeland but not born until 1978 so its not surprising I have not heard of this case or "Sara, the Witch of Lakeland". I don't know how the Lakeland Highlands area was back then but 30 years ago when I lived there it was a nice place. It's sad that this family have never received any...

I wonder why there is so little information out there about her murder. Poor angel, may she Rest In Peace.
