GRS, from all the information I have gathered, the mystery continues to deepen the further I get pulled into it. I have been perplexed by the address in Stockton as well, and I have often wanted to go knock on the door and ask if they knew who Gail was. I haven't done it though, not yet any...
Thank you StarrChance, I had his birth and death information but hadn't seen the Obituary before. I am still on the case and trying to figure out just what happened to both Gail and Pat.
The boat was found near Hog Slough in the Delta. I am assuming his family took the boat since they were in the process of opening a marina resort there in the Stockton Channel at the time. It was something "P" and his parents were doing as a joint business together. It never opened though...
I am also a genealogist and have been for over 10 years. I use my genealogy in every story I research. Most of the stories I have worked on are much older than this. I usually stick to very old cases, and stay away from the newer ones, but I really want to find out what happened to Gail...
I went through my news clippings and realized that only two of them (which are two parts of one larger one) are about Gail. The rest are about her fiance' "P"- I have accumulated a lot and didn't realize I had less on Gail than I originally thought. I went into the research initially looking...
I cannot say that it is impossible. Lots of people crash their cars into the Delta and are never heard from again. With the same token many times their cars are found with their bodies inside, too. So it is very possible she ran her car off the road and sunk to the bottom. She was seen arguing...
I will be posting a blog with all the details surrounding his death and her disappearance soon. There really is too much to cover in one forum post, but I found his death suspicious to say the least. I have several theories about what happened but I will get into that in my blog.
That is the address I found too. No, none of the names are related that I know of. I have notified the cold case division in San Joaquin County (Sheriff's Dept) about this as well as asking them to look into her case again, and I am waiting for a call back.
They are the same ones who wrote me back and asked if I knew anything about it, after I asked them if she was still considered a missing person. I want to know who was using Gail's info and renting a house between 1995-2004 in Stockton if she is still "missing"?
Shadowdancer- No, Norma passed away several years back in 2013. On another note, when Gail's sister died in 2004 her obit said she was survived by her siblings which included Gail. Interesting huh?
Shadowdancer - that is very possible, and her mother seemed to think so. I worry that when Gov. Moonbeam (oops I mean Jerry Brown) goes through with the horrific tunnels and he ruins the Delta to steal all the water and give to SoCal that many bodies will be found when the Delta drains....hold...
(on another note if you notice the asterisk**** in the article, that was my typo, I forgot to remove it prior to posting. That was my little flag to go back and note in my blog that Malone's body was in the water for so many days there was no way for them to determine his blood alcohol level...
That is just one of many newspaper articles I have on her and her fiance's story. I will definitely keep you posted on the blog when it's up. Thanks for reaching out to me in the first place. I am glad to see that so many are concerned with Gail's story. --
MOTHER’S DAILY EFFORT FAILS TO FIND MISSING DAUGHTER
By Mike Stuckey (Lodi News Sentinel, January 29, 1981)
“On Wednesday, Norma Skelton made the drive from Galt to Lodi to buy a birthday cake for her daughter Gail. “She would have been 27 years old or she is 27 years old...
Oh yes. I have transcribed them. Her disappearance was very strange, but I am still working on both cases. I have been researching and digging for answers for years. I am waiting to hear back from the Coroner's office for more in depth details on her fiance's death, once I go over all that I am...
I joined this forum after being contacted by someone from your site here. I have been researching the Skelton case for years. She has been missing since 1980 but someone has used her name and identity to rent a house in Stockton during the 1990s-2000s and that is currently something I am looking...
