Updates to above cases, on what I think happened. Search Websleuths for the threads on these cases. They are powerful and heart-breaking!
1.) Farren Stanberry- Wanted to get away to "see the world" after his 18th birthday. High tensions with his Mother, he may have been an unwanted pregnancy. Job loss and mother's refusal to help financially, could have set him into a deep depression. I think he committed suicide and his remains might be in San Francisco Bay.
2.) Mike Klitch- Murdered by someone he knew, likely the killer had prestige in a upper-class community and resources to keep his identity quiet. Businessman's receipts were found with address on them in the same dumping bin as Mike's belongings, 25 miles away in a shed, from the tennis court. Those close to case believe he willingly took a shortcut through a wooded area on a boiling hot day, and gained false trust with a neighbor. They had a confrontation that turned violent and deadly.
3.) Dermot Kelly- Left home after years of emotional and likely physical abuse by his ultra-conservative military, hot-tempered father, to finally find peace, by committing suicide by shooting himself near a partially frozen river, likely in the heart, and forcing himself to drown quickly by leaving his boots and jacket on the river bank. LE is fairly convinced that Dermot committed suicide.
4.) Wendy Woolin- Stabbed to death in broad daylight by a sicko who was never found, but the detective on the case is pretty sure who did it, and has very strong evidence that this man had no car of his own, used public transportation to get around, spent time in mental institutions, and despised woman, particularly young girls. The suspect died some time in the 1990's.
5.) Brad Bellino- Likely hitchhiked home from his friend's house to cut the journey home from what would be about over an hour walking, to about fifteen minutes in a car. Brad met up with a "bad ride."
6.) Dennis Martin- Wondered away from his family and campsite during a game with friends. Probably ran through rough terrain, fell in a hole, or fell in a river, and died from the elements.
7.) Terry and Allan Westerfield- Overwhelming evidence, although circumstantial, shows that they although are listed missing, they were killed by their stepfather,
