[killer Chaser]

There's a story in here about two young boys that were burned to death in a vacant 1800s powder magazine in Bullhead City on April 3, 1974. It says they found a hundred-dollar bill a few weeks before they were killed but I think their killers gave it to them in hope that they would keep quiet about something they scene, maybe they were burying a body and the two boys walked upon them. I bet these two boys had a run-in with the killers of these girls in this area.

Hi Guys. I was born and raised in Needles, across the river from Mohave Valley/Bullhead. Back in about 1977, there was a young girl killed in Needles named Nikki Bunch. A few years later another Needles girl was killed named Robin Jennings. IIRC, one or two more women were also found about the same time as Robin.

It has long been said that a local man named Jimmy Joe Cox killed them, but LE could never prove it. Last year, he was convicted of killing his girlfriend (it was a cold case). FWIW- This UID really caught my eye and made me think of him.

[Mrs. Badcrumble]

I want to throw Aleca Renee Manning out in this thread as a suggestion. She's a bit off on height, age and the estimated PMI, and there's no information about her dentals (at least not public), but she is Caucasian/Native American (born in Alaska) and went missing from Phoenix, AZ.

From her NamUs:

Circumstances of Disappearance:
On 02/17/1975 at approximately 10:30 P.M., Lisa Manning was last seen at the Celebrity Theatre which is located at 440 North 32nd Street in Phoenix, Arizona. Lisa never returned home and she failed to show up for work. Foul play is suspected in Lisa's disappearance. Aleca is of mixed race: white and native american.

[Mrs. Badcrumble]

Many of Castleberry Kate's stats add up or are plausible with Beatrice Biscaino's. They even look similar.

According to NamUs, Beatrice, age 20, disappeared on October 1, 1977 from Carlsbad, New Mexico.

I haven't found anything on Kate having had a child, though, or Beatrice missing her two front teeth, but considering that she seemingly went through a lot of abuse during her short life, it wouldn't be too far-fetched that she might've lost them during her struggles.

She's certainly a possibility.

I want to bring this match to attention. Note that I DID NOT MAKE THIS MATCH but a friend of mine did. They kindly let me post it here to get some more opinions. Could she be Faye Self?

	Faye Self MP1370	"Castleberry Kate" UP11087
Sex	Female	Female
Race	White/Caucasian	White/Caucasian
Age	26	17-19
Height	5'0"-5'2"	5'5"-5'9"
Weight	100-110lbs	Unknown
DOD/DLC	March 31, 1983	1979-1987
Hair Color	Naturally brown but was bleached blond.	Brown. Some was bleached
Eye Color	Gray	Unknown
Distinctive Features	Upper denture plate (from CP)	Partial denture plate (Unknown where?)
Circumstances	Last seen at a bar with a friend and two men.	Found in Bullhead City.
Distance	Coushatta-Bullhead	1,380 miles (20hr 14min)

Now time to explain the things that are off that can be explained. Location can't but I can try explaining Age and Height. I have seen the age be off by 10 years in similar cases (Anne Papalardo-Blake) and for height both Kate's and Faye's seem to be estimated. Faye's height is ranged which you normally don't see in MP cases. The fact that both had dental plates and possibly bleached hair stunned me. Let me know what you think though!
