These posts do a good job of addressing the big problem of misinformation in this case. The lack of effort over the years to officially correct and clear away conjecture in favor of solid information has left this case a muddle. The license on the dash is a perfect example. And I agree with...

Please don't sell yourself short, KR. Your insights have always been stellar and any/all information from locals is invaluable. Keep up the good work!

From The Southeast Sun, "Teen murders spark year-long investigation," Aug. 3, 2000: Investigators have reviewed videotapes from several convenience stores in Ozark... Here's another detail I discovered while re-reading the same story that reported the discovery of a piece of tire tread at the...

For those who may be unaware, or for those who haven't yet listened, here is a link to the podcast, Fear Based Life. The episode from March 20, 2018, features Veronica Silver, producer-director of Shined Rabbit, the as-yet unreleased documentary on the Beasley-Hawlett murders. Scroll down and...

This is a stellar post, somequestions! Thank you for sharing your expertise and for illuminating a completely different perspective on the location of the car. Looking at all sides of things through well-considered opposing viewpoints like this can, I believe, lead to real progress. In response...

Thanks very much, dancemom. I appreciate it.

(Snipped and BBM.) Does this boastfulness strike anyone else as matching up with the leaving of the car on Herring Avenue? I've long believed that the car's placement on Herring Avenue was: absolutely intentional intended to communicate something to someone the key to solving the case It's...

Excellent post, dancemom. The release of Shined Rabbit will hopefully provide a big boost in awareness and get a new conversation going. And with next summer marking 20 years since the murders, perhaps LE will see it as an opportunity to issue a new statement. Does anyone happen to have email...

Thank you for this post, TedMac. I agree with all your points here. I'm afraid you may be right regarding the nature of the information that may be needed to solve this case. I worked on investigating another cold case double homicide immediately after being hired as a reporter. Though I was...

Thank you for this post, SavageMarkIII. A fresh timeline constructed from corroborating statements by multiple sources with direct knowledge would, I believe, be quite a valuable document. And this is a great start. What does everyone think of working together to expand on this? I would add, in...

To be clear, I believe the America's Most Wanted information is wrong. This may be the only place I've ever seen it reported that Beasley was sexually assaulted; every other source stresses that she was not sexually assaulted. In my opinion, a leap is probably being made here from the discovery...

The following summary can be found in the archives of the official America's Most Wanted website. It corresponds with the Aug. 26, 2000, episode which featured this case. As you can see, it is stated early in the summary that "Beasley was sexually assaulted," and the information is attributed to...

The Southeast Sun, "Teen murders spark year-long investigation," Aug. 3, 2000: For months, investigators searched for a murder site, believing that the area where the bodies were found, although isolated, was not where the murders occurred. Earlier this year, a tip led police to a barn on Ala...

Reposting this summary as a refresher since the subject has come up again in multiple recent posts. —DD Here is a collection of excerpts from media reports that illustrates the contradictions and consistencies in stories told by and about Johnny Barrentine: Barrentine said at the Tuesday...

In light of the current conversation regarding the finding of semen on J.B. Beasley's clothing, I'm hoping my own post from May 30, 2014, may be helpful: "A few days ago I read the Christie Lynn Mullins thread which links to the article written by Websleuths user Nycsleuth that has recently...

I have messaged a moderator with a request to set up a Sub-Forum for this case. Updates forthcoming.

Column by Jan Murray of The Southeast Sun regarding the information that has been posted by the Henry County Report this month and the lack of coverage by the mainstream media: "A look at 1999 Ozark murders, current discussions, and journalism ethics -- Is there a fire behind all the smoke?,"...

According to The Dothan Eagle and other sources, Dale Medical Center, 126 Hospital Ave., Ozark, opened as Dale County Hospital on Aug. 28, 1951. (Source: http://www.dothaneagle.com/news/dale-medical-center-celebrates-years/article_261630ce-466c-5013-b450-f27403fde189.html) Here are the posts I...

Sixteen years worth of leads, hundreds of suspects eliminated. I find it interesting that of all the one-time persons of interest specifically mentioned by investigators in media reports over the years—whether they were named as in the case of Eugene Eutsey, or identified more vaguely—the only...
