Don't you find the timing is too coincidental? There was only a small window of opportunity. Since there's no sightings of Jason after he left his house, that would suggest that it happened soon into his journey to the school. So, Jason just happened to turn the corner and encounter a random...

My problem with the scenario is what kind of neighbourhood is this that a random 18 year-old man is lured to his death in broad daylight? There was a small window of opportunity for something to happen. Jason must have walked those streets dozens of times. How come nothing happened when Jason...

The six million dollar question for me has always been: Why that morning? If it was simply an impulsive act then that goes out the window. However, I struggle to accept that this happened at 10am in a short walk through a suburban neighbourhood. I'm not saying it couldn't have taken place...

Jason surely would've had an online presence. Were any accounts (such as AIM) ever checked into? I remember that AIM could automatically login on start-up, although if Jason was a private person he would've disabled this. I don't think Jason's disappearance was down to chance. I believe the...

I will admit that is compelling evidence, but doesn't the newspaper extract state that Charlie's mother identified the body and ruled it wasn't her son? It is hard to believe that his mother would not be able to recognise him. There is also the detail about the missing scar on his knee. It's...

Unfortunately, it would appear that the kid's disappearance was a hoax from the start: Texas man reported missing as a teen in 2015 returned home the next day, police say

One that often comes to mind is 13-year-old Tristan Brubach, who was ritualistically killed in Frankfurt, Germany. I'm surprised that, as far as I can see, there is no dedicated thread for it on WS? Anyway, there are so many disturbing details about it. The creepy underpass where the murder took...

Thank you. I was not aware of this detail. It's a curious thing to consider the vicissitudes of fate. Had Larry not been stopped from going at the last moment, there's every chance that Mitchel would've returned home safely. I believe that the star-crossed couple were targetted because the perp...

Sounds like a manic episode. I would put money on her succumbing to the desert, but it's more than possible she was picked up by someone too.

Why would Amy's father stop to use the gas station restroom when the family home was only a few minutes away? Also, the investigators must have had good reason to carry out an excavation at the farm after 25 years.

True enough. As much as hope springs eternal, I don't think Jason's case could be compared to Tara Calico. Tara was undoubtedly a victim of foul play. A local sheriff had already identified a group of suspects, and while I'm 99% confident Jason was murdered, we cannot say for certain as there's...

Who is the source for Albert carrying $700-800?

Any closure on what actually happened to these two people?

Two details that stood out to me: Who visits their uncle at 4am for drinks? Why did someone bother to remove the SIM card and leave the phone behind?

If John McGawley did it, he took that secret to his grave. If it wasn't him, then sadly I doubt the real culprit will ever be named.

I interpreted their theory that the kidnapper kept each boy for an extended period of time before murdering them and kidnapping the next. However, I agree that statistically the chances are that all three were murdered shortly after their respective abductions.

That's certainly one theory. I was thinking it could've been someone who was only in town at certain times of the year, or someone who was incarcerated on unrelated charges. There was a spate of attacks on paper boys in Des Moines in the 80s. Des Moines is a small area, it's hard to believe...

She did, but unfortunately it was overturned...

I still want to know how Owens' murder plea can be accepted without arresting Wesley for conspiracy to commit murder?

Does anyone think anything can be read into the fact that Johnny, Eugene and Marc all disappeared within two years of each other?
