Interestingly this case didn't make it to the Unsolved Mysteries that were all posted to Youtube as it seems some segments were edited out by the producers either to family being all deceased or wanting their privacy or the main suspect featured in each segment having been cleared by LE in the...
Hindsight is twenty-twenty, certainly. If KOA guy had never come forward with the story about Jock, one wonders what amateur sleuths would have had to go on over the years. And the Argentina Angle is fairly recent in the grand scheme of things and only came up after Canada and people like the...
Re: corruption and LE involvement
You'd have to go back to some of the early threads, but there was some good discussion on this topic a long time ago. For a long time, it seemed like Moore the coroner was on her own and LE was dragging its feet and people wondered why. Some people had some...
I contacted South Carolina DOT and obtained PDFs of county maps for 1974, 1975, and 1976. Everything as we know it today as far as exits and overpasses is as it was then according to those maps.
Just wanted to ask if we did confirm from Pam's photos that she had moles. I thought there was some confusion over the discrepancy between the description of Jane Doe having hair moles and Pam not having anything evident in her photos.
If they were found 400 meters from the interstate, they would have had to have been much farther down Locklair Road. A straight line from the interstate to where the line of trees first meets Locklair Road today is just over 650 meters.

Just to revisit this briefly, I have been in contact with the South Carolina DOT about maps from the time period. The gentleman I have been in contact with sent me PDFs of maps of Sumter County from 1974, 75, and 76. They show that everything was as it is now, with interstate construction in...
I don't think there were ramps there. I am suggesting, as others have, there may have been an intersection at the level of the interstate before the bridge was constructed. Others have pointed out such intersections existing elsewhere.
On the other hand, is ther any indication the killers...
Re: Locklair Road
I looked at the 1966 and the 1983 images using the the side-by-side comparison feature at the Aerial Viewer site.
What we can learn from this:
1. Locklair went in a straight line across the route of I-95. It looks like the original road was still intact in 66, but of course...
This is a question I would love to see answered and would go a long way towards clarifying the issue of if the bad guys were local or not local.
The aerial imagery site that has been linked to doesn't have any images of the area at the time of the murders, so it is unknown at present if the...
It's not like the case was going anywhere at the time. It was a possible match and people followed up on it.
The one thing you didn't mention is who's going to pay for all this labor.
People have been looking for that post. Any chance you have a link to it?
Let's say everything KOA guy told LE is absolutely correct.
James was traveling with a woman who /may have been/ Pam. They went to Florida and then came back.
This doesn't help us solve the murders. Maybe we should just move on? :)
This is from the subreddit Without a Trace:
Lisa Bishop missing since 1988, case featured on Unsolved Mysteries.
It doesn't offer any new details on the disappearance, but the original poster claims to have been a regular of Lisa's boyfriend's club in Atlanta who knew Lisa and offers some info...
When my dad hitchhiked in Europe in the mid-seventies, he told people he was Canadian to avoid any stigma associated with the US involvement in Vietnam and other places. That kind of deception probably wasn't necessary in the US itself, but something to keep in mind if James wanted to...
400 meters in a straight line, but almost two kilometers on the ground down dark narrow backroads traveled by people who had no real idea where they were going if we assume they were from out of the area.
