Very interesting to me!I am going to list some info that I can remeber...The Sweeney murder he was 8 yrs old found straglked and sexually assaulted in the families barn...I personally think this had to be someone in or very close to the family to know the layout of the barn
The second Murder Jeffery Allen Burkett was 15 Found severly beaten hands wired together stagulation... Victime had been drug quite a ways. I have talked to the retired officer on this case and he says there was a suspect but the never had enough to convict.
Suspect moved to florida shortly after murder
Finally Donnie Abell was 19 found of the roadside by a family hunting for walnuts...His body was severly decomposed shoes were missing and had be dumped there. His only noticable injury was a skull fracture caused by a blunt object.
Also these bodies were all found with in a 5 mile radius
There are articles at newpaperarchives.com I do not have access to them.
This is a very small town of maybe 1000 people and even after 30-35 yrs everyone is very tight lipped about them.
I have called state police who were in charge and the will not release any type of info what-so-ever.
I am so frustrate with these cases and needed someone to look and see if there is something that I should be looking at that I am not
I would Love to see these salved also cook book....Can you recall who the guilty was that left town??You can Private messege me and tell me..
Also I Need to know where are Donnies Parents??? Are they still around...I know where Jeffs Parents are ..But can't find Donnies..You seem to be very familar with these case and would love to talk further with you...Please Pm me and we will exchange Email addys..
there are 3 cases from the 70's that have never been solved...There is a group of us trying to find info on these.
We have found the newspaper articles and such but have hit a dead in as the police will not release any info because they are considered to be still open. I have seen the great work many of you have done and was hoping you would share some insights on where to look for info and how to obtain more info. I am in no way connected to these but as a mother of 2 children of my own I want justice for these families. I do not think they are all connected but the last 2 have more simalarites that the first one. I really hope someone can direct me on how to proceed with these cases
I am gonna Provide some quotes on each one directly out of the paper.

Hi, I am a IT professional who spent the majority of his life growing up in Clark county spending huge swaths of my young adult life all over Memphis, Henryville, Charlestown, New Washington, Clarksville, Jeffersonville and New Albany. I currently reside in FL but I am flying back to IN in a couple weeks with the intentions of moving back soon. While I am currently going there for family purposes, I intend to meet with anyone connected to this I can and intend to make future trips to do so as well. Currently I am building a data collection specific to this case using all technology as my disposal, I intend to make it public and involve others in this project as well. I have ideas about garnering public sentiment toward this case and forcing the hard questions to be asked.Saddens me that no one has come forward with information. My siblings, cousins, other family member along with myself attended school with these three victims that deserve justice.
For future reference I have created a Facebook group for this discussion to continue. As of now there are at least 4 different discussions on various forums. I will be making this same post on all available forums with similar discussions. This effort is to consolidate information, renew interest and attract people interested in or connected to the cases.
