Yeah, this would be my understanding as well. I don’t like speculating without full information but it *feels* like they took tissue samples, buried the head, and then were surprised to find the tissue samples were no good and now nobody really wants to deal with the cost/embarrassment of...

I had the same reaction on seeing the pictures higher in the thread and debating whether or not to post about it and then got to your post … and yeah, you don’t want to make wrong assumptions but looks very FAS-ish.

I’m sure they verified cell phone pings to confirm where he was during that phone call, too. The husband is just not a suspect, and for good reason.

Generally speaking, yes, but when you have a blood-covered floor that hasn’t been walked on it *is* evidence of absence.

Every time I read about this case, I’m baffled as to why the ‘Lady of the Lake’ isn’t considered a canonical case. Same timeframe (just the year previous), same sort of injuries, found in *literally the same spot* as one of the other canonical torsos. It’s the same killer. Multiple torso...

I agree sex worker seems unlikely but based on the clothes/dental care she could also be part of the Gypsy/Roma/Traveler community and of UK/Irish origin.

I think Unsolved Mysteries generally got to the gist of what happened here even if they didn’t explain it explicitly. Some sketchy mortuary is selling body parts from bodies that were ‘cremated’ or some such. On this specific body, the eyes were removed and sold separately. The weird...

No, for sure. But in these murdered/disappeared wife cases from the 1960s, we know who the killer usually is. It has to be the jumping-off point for investigators until/unless they can prove otherwise.

Yeah, no idea if the husband had a good alibi or a ‘he was with me’ bad-but-often-works alibi from family or a new gf or no alibi at all. This seems like an incredibly targeted killing - almost like a mob hit - and it’s hard to imagine this woman having any enemies that extreme aside from the...

In a vacuum, maybe the trip is possible. But you wouldn’t see this manner of death with a minor injury. You don’t commit first degree murder with an iffy push down the stairs and leave a living victim at the bottom. Plus I’m sure they’ve checked cell phone pings etc. to confirm this wasn’t...

Yeah, pretty clearly a targeted killing. This article contains a clip of an article at the time stating she ‘was estranged from her 30 y/o husband’ so … prime suspect is pretty obvious...

There’s no way he did a secret 14-hour round trip to murder her … only to leave her with a minor injury that should never have killed her, and on top of that not even check if she was dead. Police have cleared him and that seems entirely correct. And his interview came across as pretty genuine...

Unless the reports I’m reading are wrong the partner left home at 3:50 pm and the body was found at 4:30 pm. The assumption is that the murderer arrived basically immediately after the partner left and I don’t see how it isn’t a stretch to wonder if she wasn’t already dead when he left...

No sign of forced entry, killed with weapons from inside the house, daylight hours … feels like the husband/partner should be turned inside out as a suspect. He was at the house at 3:50 and the body discovered at 4:30 so it certainly seems well within the timelines. The ‘intruder trying the...

These ‘they know who did it but just don’t quite have the evidence to get a conviction so the murderer is walking free’ cases are just the worst, especially when it’s a case like this where a 13 year old was dismembered.

Yeah, really weird case. Well-educated, worldly young woman from a very prominent family and there seems to be literally no information about the last 2 years of her life when she somehow went from being an English teacher in Africa to seemingly living on the fringes of society in Vegas. Some...

Yeah, I’m in much the same mindset. Weird accident is by far the most likely explanation. She unquestionably went face-first into the piggy bank, suffered a severe cut, and then despite being able to get to her feet eventually died from blood loss. Concussion and cannabis use are probably the...

Interesting walk-though of the (basically unchanged) crime scene here.

Also re-confirms that the clothing was legitimately women's clothing instead of just 'late 60s hippie garb' as some had been wondering.

This has to be tied to the janitor who 'overslept'. Like, this was a pretty small ski lodge and obviously a pretty well-planned robbery where they came equipped to literally chisel a safe out of cement. There's no way you can do that quietly, and there's no way they're attempting that robbery...
