Legacy checking in and sending best wishes for a successful news story, Sunshine. Life gets busy, but you will always be on my mind and in my heart. Because of you, these two precious girls have become dear to so many and through you, their memory has been kept alive as you have sought...

Note: I see we posted at the same time, Sunshine. Sorry for any duplication of information. I've been watching the post while dealing with some major family illnesses, but just wanted to acknowledge what a great job you are all doing on this. I'm still here...just listening - sometimes...

Early on when I was looking into the suspects I found a newspaper article indicating Rabe practiced law in El Paso. In fact I think it was an article having to do with him being held in contempt by the judge hearing the case. I'll look for it...

I just re-read the newspaper article citing DA Cathey's investigation of Rabe. It is noted that Rabe was in town studying for his bar exam. He was friends with two guys who worked at a gas station near the motel where he was staying. It mentions in the side notes of the article that the...

One of the guys hanging out with Rabe when he was in town also had the last name of Howard. I wonder if they were related? I can't remember if all three were from out of town or just Rabe. When Rabe reportedly came back to the motel room the night of the murders and told the other two they'd...

Well it is a brand new year and a brand new decade. I'm wishing 2010 is a year beyond compare in your quest for justice, Sunshine. I'm believing great things will happen... Over the holidays, I saw a segment that MSNBC put together on a decades old homicide of a thirteen year old girl. As...

You are such an inspiration, Anne. You know I'll be one of the first in line for an autographed copy of the book, which no doubt will be a compelling and moving tribute to the memories of Mattie and Patty.

Wow! Great ideas and powerful expression of thoughts, Pecos! I'm all for whatever Sunshine wants to do and whatever means she chooses to accomplish her end - and I can tell you absolutely have her best interests at heart. I am very impressed with your post, Pecos. I found myself getting very...

I/we have forwarded the Nichols' tip to ECSO and Wichita Falls P.D. Now we'll wait and see if anything develops. Now I would like to "turn over the floor" for open discussion as it appears we are at a standstill. Please feel free to post whatever comments you have whether or not they involve...

From Post 139 Report by Melvin L. Miller: "Tire Track Measurements: Outside to Outside 5'5"; Inside to Inside 4'6"; Width of Tire Tread 5 1/8." Appeared to have one good tire showing treads on right front, other 3 tires left no tread marks. There had been a very light rain that had fallen...

This is where someone very familiar with old Chevrolets could really help move us along. I read back over Bunnel's account of the Chevrolet which the man was driving on Mesquite - the same vehicle he saw the two girls get into with the man. This bears noting because if you review Page 6 of...

I asked the Nichols family about the gun(s) he might have owned. The family dynamics were such that it is not known, especially with all siblings gone now. Nichols was living in a small, older trailer in a low income area of Wichita Falls at the time of his death. The family member I have...

I followed Proudsolver's link above. In the right column advertisement for Ebay there is a 2 Door 1953 Chevrolet for sale - pretty rusty. When I looked at the description it says the vehicle is originally from Texas. I know that the chances are more than remote, but I emailed the owner to ask...

Well that lowers our million to one odds considerably, doesn't it? Not sounding good - but thanks so much for your efforts. I was told there was a son who also lived in Wichita Falls, but that he died before Nichols did. They were both carpenters according to the family member, although I...

Thank you! What is definitely needed is a forensic pathologist. In fact, the Nichols' family member recently said they have been told the difference between a regular doctor and a forensic pathologist is likened to the difference between a baby doctor and a brain surgeon.

Nichols' 94 year old daughter did leave cheek cell cotton swabs before she died, specifically for DNA purposes in this case. Further, Nichols' family member suggests that exhumation of Nichols' body from its burial place in Big Spring might also be agreeable to the family - if it would help in...

Points well taken, Pecos. I'm aware of the possibilities and the million to one odds, but it is not the million that I'm focusing on at this point, it is the one. My question was geared more toward the registration tracing of a vehicle that old and I thought you or someone else here might...

No, he died seventeen months after the girls were murdered of a heart attack at his home in Wichita Falls, Texas. Until that time he had enjoyed good health according to his family member. He was over 70 at the time, but given his family's account of his behavior and sexual molestation...
