And I should add: I looked a bit more into Barbara's father George Alvin Cable. A brief obituary transcribed on his findagrave lists surviving relatives, but there is no mention of how he died or what circumstances. This is the link to his findagrave...

I found their marriage record. They were married November 28, 1929 in Portland, Oregon. Below is the link: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPQF-Y5SJ?lang=en As for Barbara's father George Cable, maybe but I know nothing about the circumstances unfortunately, other than the death...

To answer your question about where Ken and Barbra were from: Kenneth Martin was born in North Dakota in 1904 to parents who were from Iowa...they moved to Oregon sometime before 1929. Barbara, his wife (nee Cable) was born in Hillsboro ,Washington County, Oregon in January of 1910....her...

For any sources I've ever consulted, Donald is their son to both Kenneth and Barbara. Donald was born in 1930, about a year after they were married. The gap otherwise is odd, but there are probably reasons they had to wait 14 years before having more children...I never found evidence of any...

I'm bumping.... Regarding Sandy: his existence was corroborated at least as far as the fact the youths in question had dropped him off at a motel (Royal Motel) in Arroyo Grande, where police later confirmed a young man of like description had stayed, according to the motel proprietor...

Here is the link to the Boston Globe article from March, 2013 that I mentioned in my previous post: https://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2013/03/30/unsolved-mysteries-boston/3F0hZDplpXMUI5TQht85XO/story.html Unfortunately most Globe articles are now behind pay/subscription walls but it's the...

I think the Lincoln PD withheld quite a bit of information and potential evidence from the public (and continue to do so). There was mention of an unidentified bloody fingerprint found in the kitchen, but little else. I'm not even sure if any physical evidence from the scene still exists. Here...

This is the link to the newspaper article I was referring to in my previous post: Boston Globe, Sunday, October 29, 1961, page 1. Note the mention of a neighbor's report about the garage (neighbor isn't named here and I'm unsure who it is)...

This case has long intrigued me. While I've entertained various theories over the years as I continued to read on the case, I generally lean towards foul play of some sort. The crime scene is disorganized, yet apparently confined to a relatively small area (only the kitchen inside and smaller...

I know this is a very old thread, but I'm "bumping" it. I remember this case pretty well back when it was initially reported in 2014. Pia Farrenkopf was from South Boston, which is also my hometown (well almost, I grew up originally in Mission Hill). While I generally accept the...

One thing I would start with is look into who owned property around her at the time. And what it may have been used for (such as leased occupant, etc). I think that's a good place to start anyway.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the Ford was bought slightly used. Mrs. Martin had won a sweepstakes for a Jeep in 1952, and given the size of their family, she traded it in for the Ford. The seatbelts were probably added either by its initial owner when purchased or soon after the Martin's bought it as...

This case I saw recently on an old Unsolved Mysteries episode. I think it's a pretty good possibility that a neighbor did it. She had her kennel so far off the main road and was surrounded by acres of her own land. An abutter to her property would have the most incentive over some perceived...

Those are very good points you bring up. I'll admit, my own feelings about this case, accident vs. foul play are like 35/65 at this point, where the car has been found. I acknowledge the theories based on foul play are all entirely circumstantial and I'm pretty sure the human remains will be...

That's correct, though he would have been, most likely, able to obtain emergency leave very shortly after he was notified of his family being missing. However, we know Donald didn't actually make a trip out to Oregon until March of 1959, some three months after his family went missing. He...

I agree. There's still plenty of reason to suspect foul play, even with the car being located (and, reportedly, at least two sets of human remains inside). Forensic examination of those remains will probably be the deciding factor that reveals if this was a case of multiple murder or something...

I'm amazed at just how much was actually recovered from the wreck site. One thing in particular stood out, aside from the human remains of course: the camera still inside its leather carry case; that case has the name "Martin" scratched in, with either his first initial K or "Ken", plus the...

Does anyone have more detailed information regarding the exhumation of Brubaker's body back in c.2015? I know there was considerable news coverage surrounding the exhumation of her body in order to try and obtain DNA evidence from under her fingernails...during reexamination of the case by new...

Yes, I read that DNA samples were taken, largely volunteered, by males in the campground relevant to the timeframe. It's unclear if Young's DNA sample was given before or after his arrest, though a positive DNA match doesn't, in itself, necessarily prove guilt. So far, authorities haven't said...

What is the actual physical evidence the supports Young as being the killer? I see a lot of maybes and character flaws being tossed around freely, but nothing in the way of hard or even compelling evidence.....this near presumption of guilt so early in an investigation by the public is alarming.
