    NH NH - Shirley "Tippy" McBride, 15, Concord, 13 July 1984

    This just broke tonight. It's a super long shot (and no details about the age/sex/etc or how long they've been there have been released, but she was the first thought I had when I saw it. If it's not her, some family out there will get closure, at least. Human Remains unearthed in backyard of...

    Identified! VA - Annandale, WhtFem ~60, 245UFVA, 'NO CODE, DNR, No Penicillin', Dec'96 #2 - Joyce Meyer Sommers

    Not much to add, but for those wondering about penicillin--you can easily purchase a big bottle at any farm supply store, no prescription needed. Obviously it's not for human use, but it can be very easily obtained. I know it wasn't her COD, and I agree with others that even if her reaction was...

    Do we know what system the library was using for checkouts in 2000? This makes me wonder if it was the now-outdated card system, where the person signed a card in the book and handed it to the librarian, who stamped the card and book with the due date? The book would have that date stamped in...

    I'm new to this thread (I've been reading for a long time, but haven't posted on this case before), but looking at that photo...is that a t-shirt or a nightshirt? The long length and the red binding on the bottom reminds me of a nightshirt I had as a kid that was very similar--short-ish, just...

    I think if she ended up in the river, her body would have been found at some point. The Wild Ammonoosuc is fast-moving but not particularly deep or wide with many rocks and sand bars. In spring, when the snow melts and the ice breaks up, it's a raging river, but most summers it's swift but there...

    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - #14

    A lot of that 78 square miles is dense forest criss-crossed by rivers, creeks and ravines. It would be very hard to search comprehensively. Visibility in winter would be better than in summer, but accessibility would not. I don't remember how much snow we had in northern NH that winter, but they...

    Not necessarily. Depending on where someone entered the woods, they could wander for miles--a lot of that area is National Forest land. Even if it was just a few yards, hidden from the road, wildlife would scatter bones. Without knowing where to look, it's entirely possible no trace of a...

    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - #14

    What makes the series killer theory not work for me is where this happened. Unless he lived in the area--as in right there by the crash site, there's zero reason for him to be trolling the road where Maura disappeared on a snowy night in February. In the direction Maura was traveling, there are...

    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - #14

    Where this occurred, it's not at all surprising that if she walked away from the crash site heading east and left the road for some reason that her body hasn't been found if she died from exposure. That area is very, very remote, with acres upon acres of nothing but woods, much of it with heavy...

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't find that odd. The choice of words was perhaps not a great one, but they had a lead and followed up on it (in a thorough and expensive manner), even though they suspected it would be a dead end based on their preliminary investigation. The other option was not to...

    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - #14

    IMO, Fred was seeing what he wanted to see from the initial search. Who can blame him when it's his little girl missing? There may well have been a disturbance detected by the GPR that had nothing to do with a body. It's not an exact science, and it can only tell you if the ground looks...

    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - #14

    Because without one the speculation from the public would have been rampant, and IMO, that's more cruel to the family. I don't think it was mean--they met with the family before the presser to fill them in so they would not hear about it on TV first, or let them be strung along by rumor. Much...

    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - #14

    That's possible. None of the vehicles in any of the news photos looked a vehicle of the type that would carry human remains from a crime scene, might be a better way to word it. It's totally possible that one was there at some point and either left or came after the cameras. It just seems to me...

    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - #14

    I didn't see a coroner's vehicle in any of the pictures. Wouldn't there have to be one there if remains were found? Of course, it's entirely possible one came after the pictures were taken, but it seems like everyone would be all over it if they had taken anything resembling remains from the...

    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - #14

    I've always held the same belief. I used to drive that route often, and it's just so very secluded. There are some side roads and driveways that are plowed in winter, so if she turned off on one of those, there wouldn't necessarily have been prints leading from the road, and as some homes were...

    Found Deceased NH - Elizabeth Lamotte, 16, Manchester, 6 April 1984

    There is some interesting info here from the local NH news station. She was found due to the Bob Evans case investigation, though the connection they were pursuing turned out not to be there. Remains of teen missing from Manchester since 1984 identified because of Bob Evans case

    Found Deceased NC - Maddox Ritch, 6 w/Autism, Gastonia, 22 Sept 2018 #2

    There are areas, IIRC, that accessing that creek wouldn't be difficult from parts of the trail that goes near it. I can see how a parent could lose sight of a child as he weaved between or around a group of people--that park is usually crowded on nice days. It's a really nice park. The video...

    Found Deceased NC - Maddox Ritch, 6 w/Autism, Gastonia, 22 Sept 2018

    I kind of felt the same way. The way he said that is a dad who genuinely loves his kid. The dad really didn't set off the hinky meter for me either. I really hate to generalize people, but he's fairly typical of many long-time locals--probably no education beyond high school/trade school, not...

    Found Deceased NC - Maddox Ritch, 6 w/Autism, Gastonia, 22 Sept 2018

    Interesting...on the noon news, (WSOC, channel 9 Charlotte) they said that Maddox was last seen near the pier. That's not the backside of the lake like the initial story. The pier is almost always busy; there are boat rentals and fishing. It's quite open and visible from all directions. That...
