    NY NY - Debra Fardella, 22, Brooklyn, June 23, 1983

    The record is on Ancestry and is a record from the U.S Social Security Applications and Claims Index 1936-2007. It records a social security number of 121543910, a birth date of 25 August 1959 in Brooklyn and a death date of June 1988. However, as I said in my previous comment, this may relate...

    AZ AZ - Roger Jonathan Stenholt, 22, Phoenix, 1978

    Ancestry has multiple records for a Roger J Stenholt living in Phoenix up to 2011 at 2849 E Grandview Rd, Apt 103 and with a previous address in Destin Florida. I cannot find any records for another Roger J Stenholt. It would be odd if the authorities had not checked these records but who knows...

    NE NE - Marialice Clark, 14, Omaha, August 1972

    Unfortunately those associated with this case are now mostly dead, reducing the prospects for progress. Rice and Poindexter both died still in prison, the latter as recently as December 2023. Tom Sledge, the corrupt ATF agent, died in 2008. Glen Gates, the deputy police chief who tampered with...

    CA CA - Patricia Crandall, Shasta County, 18-19 years old, 13 March 1949

    The bump brought me back to this case after a few years. One small point to clear up is that the daughter of Patricia Von Ahn, Diane, is almost certainly the one associated with the Manson Family. Diane Von Ahn - CharlesManson.com. confirms two facts which support this link. Firstly it gives...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    I would not rule out that he was killed due to something related to his work but it seems very unlikely that it related to the wider mismanagement of HBOS. Others at a more senior level would have represented a far greater risk if anything beyond incompetence was involved and the opportunity for...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    Whilst I agree killings of bank managers are uncommon it does not mean this was mistaken identity. Firstly, there may have been something else not related to his job behind the killing. This was the case in the Goldman murder in Swindon in 2004 where the victim was a bank manager with a drug...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    It has struck me as odd that the police think the gun is a war souvenir. It was clearly originally made for use in Germany as the inscription would say Germany or 'made in Germany' if for export. But whilst it may have originally reached the UK that way it is not necessary that it remained with...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    The far greater criticism in the Lawrence and Morgan cases did not produce this response (until it became a political issue). I do not doubt that the case will benefit from a thorough reinvestigation but I am sure there is politics at play. An instruction to reinvestigate is meaningless without...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    The Lord Advocate can issue instruction regarding a prosecution. She cannot make an operational order to the police as that power is reserved to the Justice Secretary. In practice the Lord Advocate, acting under her coronial powers, can pursue an investigation (but requires any instruction to...

    KY KY - James Mann Morris, 28, Henderson County, 4 May 1977

    A bit more. First, he was 30 when he went missing not 28. This is confirmed by details already in this thread, his DoB of August 5 1946, which is further confirmed by records on Ancestry. Secondly, he had at least two children, including a son Scott born in 1966 or 67 and who died in 2007 (see...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    I should have raised an additional point in my previous posts. It is odd that the Advocate General Dorothy Bain has been to the fore in the recent development. Police Scotland do not report to her and she has no operational authority to direct such an investigation. This lies with the Justice...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    Which is completely in conflict with the usual process unless there is a basis for a new investigation. The only reasons I have seen in past cases is either new evidence or some serious concerns around previous investigations (as happened in, for example, the Stephen Lawrence and Daniel Morgan...

    NY NY - Leichia M. Reilly, 21, West Seneca, 31 Jan 1985

    Having returned to this case after a long time I just noticed that not only did the chief suspect Rose use the mafia in house lawyer Boreanaz, he also used Paul Cambria, another lawyer with an extensive list of mafia and other dodgy clients and one of the most expensive criminal lawyers in the...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    The odd thing about today's developments is the extent of the team being committed to the new investigation. The normal procedure is for a case review by a senior officer followed by a decision on whether there is any basis for further work. Unless such a case review has taken place but not been...

    WI WI- Daniel Gerry Taylor, 21, Milwaukee, July 1967

    I suspect it is because he was reported in Milwaukee. His parents lived in Wisconsin at Black River Falls and grandparents in Milwaukee, so he may have regarded there as home as he was born and raised in that state. Just to add that his DoB is 2 December 1946 and his mother and father are now...

    CA CA - Julie Elizabeth Soracco, 15, Placerville, 1 Aug 1977

    It is interesting to look at the public records for Julie's father, Frank Soracco, on Ancestry. This includes many newspaper cuttings (mainly from the Mountain Democrat, the local paper in Placerville) running from the early 50s when he was a high school football star to the 70s. Whilst it is...

    UK UK - Ruth Wilson, 16, Dorking, 27 Nov 1995

    I have to say that I see little that is odd in this appeal. Do not forget that he is a teacher (so likely to be pedantic in his use of language) and that the appeal was almost certainly passed through other hands, including the police, and finessed to use their input. Public appeals usually come...

    UK UK - Christine Markham, 9, South Yorkshire, 21 May 1973

    The known job as a driver which took him around the country started in 1976, 3 years after Christine disappeared. His work history before that is hazy but he was based in London from 1968 and there has been no evidence that he had a job taking him around the UK before 1976. All of the proven...

    NV NV - Hyman Wolfe, 52, Las Vegas, 14 Sept 1979

    I am slightly surprised at the comment that few details are available. In the early 80s a mob associate Ralph Merola became an informant and witness for the state in the trials of Joseph Alario and Donald (Chico) D'Amico for the murder of another mob associate, Jermoe Ferula. In the process he...

    CA CA - Sylvia Helen Carlson, 39, Santa Monica, 12 Dec 1977

    My apologies. I should have revisited my post #6 where I suggested her parents were Harry and Ingrid. Whilst everything else seems correct her parents were Carl Elof Verner Carlsson and Karin M Hildebrand. That this is correct seems confirmed by the picture of Sylvia accompanying the Ancestry...
