    Connecticut school district on lockdown after shooting report at a Newtown elemen #11

    One more thing that keeps running through my mind! Nancy took Adam to a few doctors when he was younger, and I believe that it has been said that he was diagnosed as possibly autistic or as having Asperger's. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like he got the proper help he needed- outside of...

    Connecticut school district on lockdown after shooting report at a Newtown elemen #11

    Hey guys, I am new to this particular discussion but I have been following the Sandy Hook school shooting since the beginning because of how much it troubled me, and I'm sure everyone else. I'm still trying to catch up on all that you have been writing about and I have a lot of work to do so...

    TN TN - Peggy Barnes, 40, Knoxville, 3 June 1985

    Thank you again Bessie and everyone else for your help! I contacted the Knoxville Cold Case Department and they informed me that the suspect committed suicide. The person that contacted me said that, if they remembered correctly, it was someone who lived within close proximity of Peggy Ann...

    TN TN - Peggy Barnes, 40, Knoxville, 3 June 1985

    Thank you!! Apparently, they aren't releasing the names of most of his victims. Peggy was murdered in 1985, so it depends on when he was arrested.

    TN TN - Peggy Barnes, 40, Knoxville, 3 June 1985

    Just an update: I contacted the head of the Chief of Police at the Knoxville Police Department a few weeks ago, who I was directed to by the web-master. I mainly just wanted to find out if the case had ever actually been solved or not, which I don't think it has. He still has not replied... Any...

    PA - Gretchen Harrington, 8, found murdered, Marple Twp, 15 Aug 1975 *arrest in 2023*

    Thank you both for your help! There was one article in which the mother was interview and I just got the feeling that the family really wanted to move on. They are obviously much older now, as would be her brothers and sisters. Its just very sad. I read an article on Tru TV one time about child...

    TN TN - Peggy Barnes, 40, Knoxville, 3 June 1985

    Just an update: I emailed a local news writer in Knoxville who told me that they as far as they know the crime had not been solved. I was wondering if this was one of those crimes that had been solved sort of under the table-that hadn't really gotten much news, or if there was a person of...

    PA - Gretchen Harrington, 8, found murdered, Marple Twp, 15 Aug 1975 *arrest in 2023*

    I wonder the same thing! It is one of those cases that haunt me. It is an incredibly sad story. This little girl deserves justice.

    PA - Gretchen Harrington, 8, found murdered, Marple Twp, 15 Aug 1975 *arrest in 2023*

    I emailed the Marple Township Historical Society asking if they had anymore information on the case, as the news reports were scarce. They said they would check their local archives and talk with local law enforcement officers to find out if there was ever anymore information in this case.

    PA - Gretchen Harrington, 8, found murdered, Marple Twp, 15 Aug 1975 *arrest in 2023*

    Hey everybody! I've got another cold case. This one is in Pennsylvania... and unfortunately, there has not been much news about it. Basically, 8-year-old Gretchen Harrington, disappeared while walking to Bible School in Marple Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Her body was found off a...

    TN TN - Peggy Barnes, 40, Knoxville, 3 June 1985

    I would definitely agree that this Larry Lee Smith guy is similar to the Barnes' murder- at least in the binding of the victim and raping. I've been away from my computer all day but I was able to look up one article on him. I'll have to read more about him. Thank you sloane7777! Sent from my...

    TN TN - Peggy Barnes, 40, Knoxville, 3 June 1985

    So reading through an article on Patricia and Susan Williams, there were quite a few things that just now hit me. In the article, a detective who was looking over the case years later said that an exterminator came through the house about 10 a.m. and he saw the girls lying there, but didn't...

    TN TN - Peggy Barnes, 40, Knoxville, 3 June 1985

    I was just about to post the same case! Thank you! :) The Patricia and Suzanne Williams case is very similar to this case. In both cases, the police believed that the women were murdered by someone they knew. The women were also found bound and strangled. Here is a picture of the man of...

    TN TN - Peggy Barnes, 40, Knoxville, 3 June 1985

    I've tried to look up Lt. Herman Johnson, the homicide detective on the case, but I haven't been able to find anything on him. Of course, by now he is retired but I was just hoping to find some snippet of a quote saying, "We've got the killer." It bothers me to think someone has gotten away with...

    MI MI - Janette Roberson, 27, Reed City, 19 Jan 1983

    That's awful. Was this an incident where the police had a main suspect but not enough evidence or they had no leads? Or do have they even released those details?

    TN TN - Peggy Barnes, 40, Knoxville, 3 June 1985

    I'm not sure. I have not been able to find a picture of her. I can vaguely remember hearing about his case but I don't remember the details. What was his MO?

    LA LA - Kassie Federer, 19, LSU student, Baton Rouge, 13 Sept 1999 *DNA*

    I agree with you! It does not seem to be the work of those serial killers. I live within this area, so when I saw LSU student, I immediately clicked on the page! Let me know if you need any additional information about the area, LSU, or Louisiana. :)

    TN TN - Peggy Barnes, 40, Knoxville, 3 June 1985

    Thank you for your help! :) This is just a heartbreaking case! I'm happy to see that in the obituary that I was able to find, it seems that her daughter and her husband were able to move on after this tragedy and find some semblance of happiness. It makes me wonder though, what happened with...
