Betty, I don’t have the book in front of me, but if I recall Barbara
Betty, my recollection was surprisingly Barbara and Mary Jane were pretty careful when they first entered the crime scene in the Risch home, at least as far as touching was concerned. Ahern in his book thought it was an error...
I haven’t written on this thread in a while, but one aspect of this case raises questions with me, and that is the various time frames that people give on their errands and trips. Maybe it’s minor, but in particular Joan’s trip to the dentist and Barbara Barker’s last shopping trip that...
This one is in incredibly devoid of any information, at least online. I mean is this all the information? Russell receives a phone call, leaves his business never returns, then his car is found a week later at Logan airport?
I am not sure where to begin to even inquire or make a request on any...
This one’s a puzzler. I checked the 1981 calendar, October 18 was a Sunday. I don’t know whether he went to the friends house in the daytime or at night. It said he had a paper route, so not sure whether he delivered daily papers or Sunday as well
This is probably speculation, but I am guessing...
Well, this is another missing persons case from my neck of the woods. For Elinor’s case it seems we primarily have to rely upon newspaper articles for information. I cannot speak for anyone else, but trying to put a timeline together and seeking what I consider basic, primary information seems...
There is definitely not a lot of information on this case. No mention of siblings or friends. I did a cursory search, but couldn’t come up with anything. The high school is a regional high school that combines the town of Whitman and Hanson And with him being 14 years old, I doubt he would show...
Janine Callahan who left her home to walk to work on November 9, 1985. Her remains were discovered a month later on December 8, 1985 at the end of a dirt road, now known as Cherry Farm in Burrillville, Rhode Island.
This week True Crime Garage did a two-parter on Simone’s case.
True Crime Garage
- They mentioned the old man’s full name
- The mother was not expecting Simone to arrive until the next day, 9/3 Yet, the sister offered Simone a ride to a bus station on 9/2
- Sounds like the TCG guys were in...
This cold case was mentioned on a recent podcast. In discussing a recent murder in Gardner they talked about this 1965 cold case.
Memory and loss: The unsolved murder of Patty Joyce
Bumping and giving a few other thoughts…
This case seems to go cold pretty quickly. According to the article there was an eyewitness to a possible person of interest, composite picture and fingerprints.
Yes, it looks like Betty and Richard took care of your question concerning the phone log. Being from the area, I get a kick out of Framingham being a long distance call. One thing to note is it would not account for a long distance call coming in to the home.
On another note it looks like those...
Good point about “other things” being sold at the health food stores. Growing up in the 70s Heath food stores, ice cream trucks owned by young guys, and head shops had a bit of a “reputation.” There was merchandise in the front and there was “merchandise” in the back or upon request.
Cannot find any additional information on Michael Mosher. $30,000 is a lot of money today but even more so in 1980. Not being judgmental but maybe the debt was due to gambling, drugs, or some sort of illegal activity.
Hi all, I was listening to a recent True Crime Garage podcast about Joel Caulk concerning a 1974 murder in NH where the woman was showing a property for sale. They mentioned a similar case in northern Massachusetts around the same time. I had never heard of this cold case and there seems to be...
It looks like the user by the name of CJLavoie joined for one day on 12/21/21 and posted comments mentioning LE should look closer at family members on this case. They mentioned they were married to a nephew. That seems to be the only message ever posted in Websleuths. I am not sure if anything...
Hi, just wondering if Artful ever responded to you concerning your question about Verne Quimby? Maybe pm them since it looks like they are active on the site as of today.
I read Steven Ahern’s book, Kindle version last year. I made a lot of notes and highlights. When I get a little time I will write a longer commentary. I have followed the case for sometime and live in the area.
One frustrating note off the top of my head has always has been the account of the...
