I apologize, but the suspect transitioned to a female in the 80's. Her name now is Samantha Glenner.
Was that the same person? The age doesnt match up with the one listed for them in the newspapers in the 80s. There is a Connecticut marriage record that lists someone with the male name as being born in 1934. I believe that would match up with the person in texas
Yes, I believe she's the same person. An excerpt from a book on the murder of Amy Cave committed by Glenner states that she was supposed to be released from prison in 2010 which made her 67 years old back then- she was released a year early. That means Glenner's year of birth is likely 1943.
10/9/85 - Justice Bealieu stated that attorneys for Glenner argued that he may suffer from a mental disease or defect which "manifested itself in periods of violent behavior over which he had no control or knowledge".
Thank you so much for clarifying this. So that’s 2 years of her life to be chased up. I think I recall that dirt bag frank Delano Floyd being a possible suspect, does anyone else recall this?
Patricia's family don't know which boarding school Patricia was sent to, though they think it's one in Sullivan County, New York. They lived in Morganville, New Jersey.

I'm so hoping justice will also come for Ms. Newsom. How did she ended up in Connecticut?
My heart breaks for this young girl. She had such a difficult life after her young childhood, and sadness suffuses her portrait. (Is it a school photo? It looks like one.) I fear that even if Patricia did deliberately "run away" as reported, she never got anywhere near where she intended to go. I strongly suspect trafficking in her case, due to the long time between her reported disappearance and her body being dumped. There are so many interstates linking together between her reported school location, her reported goal of reaching Maine, and where her family lived in NJ. East Haven is right off I-95, as is her family's home at the time in NJ, and if she and the friend she allegedly ran with were hitchhiking they probably made for I-84 or I-87 - both of which are major trucking routes connecting easily to NYC and the entire northeast/midAtlantic US. They probably had little to no money to travel on, certainly no credit cards, and they would have been so vulnerable to bad actors before getting anywhere near Maine, or even before Patricia could have reached her (less than ideal-sounding) home.
I go along with you theory she was probably hitchhiking and she met up with a sadistic killer. Trafficking: I don't see that so much. It's is still a mystery where she went to boarding school. Could it be in New Haven, I wonder. Also the story with the friend she was allegedly traveling with. Does she exist or did she met the same fate? She didn't came forward yet. Hopes up, she does or anybody else from that era, who knew Patricia.
According to this Glenner died last October.
