There may be hope for The Boy In The Box, The Isdahl woman and Lady Of The Dunes. In a few more years this process will get faster and easier and there may come a day when there are no more Jane and John Does. What a great day that will be.

I think they will be foreign and never been reported as missing like so many in this time period, the family just thinks they took off to start a new life. This is great news.

I'm wondering if the delay with the matching of DNA has anything to do with them possibly being foreign. I know privacy laws in other countries are very strict and I'm not sure if there is as much access to their DNA data bases as in the USA.

The mechanic was in York, NE, population today 8,000. Maybe didn't get a lot of strangers passing through and therefore remember them. I don't think it was that long between their murders and the interview with him. Details on some aspects of the case are very hard to find. I've never really...

They did have a car, The matches they were carrying came from my state of Nebraska and their pictures were recognized at the truck stop although they had no information on the couple. Things really were different in the 60's & 70's. Just look at the case of Reet Jurvetson - she went missing...

What does it mean he was last seen walking away from his wife? The father saw him walk away from his wife? Someone else saw him walk away from the mom? Why didn't the wife go out looking instead of an 8 year old? Sorry to be suspicious but even in the 60's, when children were allowed to run...

Unfortunately, eye witness testimony is usually the worse. I believe it was a couple days before the news went out about them missing. So we're relying on people who are claiming to remember what women, they didn't know and who weren't doing anything memorable from several days before were...

I would agree. I'm probably a lot older than you and I know my older brother and almost all of his friends had volkswagon's in the late 60's. I hated riding in one, felt like I was on the ground and semi's terrified me. I honestly believe it's her boyfriend. I think it was almost too up...

I had read that also, but I recently read something where it says that the wife of the cab driver told the police that she had lied and that he actually came home a lot later than she had previously said. I don't remember if he was already dead or they ran into the wife can't testify against...

I think a couple of reasons might be: 1. Possibility is, of course, he might not have died yet, and will leave something behind. 2. He died suddenly before he could make any plans, and whatever evidence he had was thrown out by family cleaning out his house. Most likely evidence would be...

That's what I mean in one of my earlier posts that some people want a serial killer to be responsible for any similar killing that ever happens. If we're to believe the description of witnesses in the Paul Stine case the killer was in his thirties. The Texarkana murders happened 20 years...

So what are the chances Zodiac used different guns. I know some peoples with guns and they usually have a favorite that they use whenever possible for target practice or hunting. I would think a killer would want to use the one he was most comfortable with . For all we know the Zodiac is more...

This is what is so irritating. Greysmith has everyone looking at this one suspect no matter how many times the DNA does not match him. I've heard people say, "Well he didn't like to lick stamps so he had someone else lick them for him." Really. Unfortunately, a lot of people seem to want...

I'd be more interested in touch DNA on the watch they found. If it actually belongs to the killer and was preserved well, their DNA should be all over the back where it touched the skin. I don't know if it was a leather band or one of those stretchy kind where DNA might have been caught...

I have never understood the son-in-law's reaction to what he says was a phone call from the mother saying they were being attacked by three men. As I understood, they did not live close by and there was a blizzard. Why didn't he call the police and say he had received this phone call, could...

Has anyone read a book called "The Great Zodiac Hoax Of 1986" - by Thomas Henry Horan? In it he goes to the actual police files and compares them against what Greysmith has written in his books and the differences are unbelievable. The details about the second murder of Darlene Ferrin and...

I don't think so. Joubert was murdering his first victim in Maine on 8/22/82 and Johnny went missing on 9/5/82. I find it hard to believe he left Maine went to Iowa and killed Johnny and then went back to Maine in two weeks? He wasn't in Omaha yet. His first killing here was 12/2/83, I...

I had this case on another thread "Cases That Haunt You". I can't believe it actually got solved. I wonder if they're checking this guy against the other murders that were happening at Stanford at the same time. I don't remember much about them except I believe they happened on the campus and...

I'm always suspicious of the I went out and they were gone when I came home or they went out for a walk and never came home stories by husbands/wives. Although some really suspicious disappearances actually turn out to be people just leaving, so you can't always know and it would be awful for...
