Following on from a post on the last thread where someone says "I haven't been able to find an exact match for John Doe's watch", and speculation regarding possible counterfeits, I present the following, which I found in literally 30 seconds after doing a Google image search for "Bulova Accutron 1972": View attachment 210345
Looks like the same watch (same day/date display, tuning fork logo & "Accutron" on the left hand side of the dial, same raised non-numeric hour markers), apart from being in 10K gold rather than stainless steel; the quality of the image on the NAMUS website is so low it obscures a lot of detail (it's very low resolution with significant compression artifacts and looks like an nth generation copy of something taken with an early digital camera or scanned at a resolution appropriate for dialup connections).
Thank you for posting! I found a similar article not long after I mentioned Danny. I didn’t realize a new thread had been made so I wasn’t getting notifications (my mental organization alarm clocks LOL). Maybe the culmination of case details (Bulova, racing, Canada) being tied to the racing series in general will lead to something.Mystery couple murdered in South Carolina, 1976 - #6
"Danny Burritt, around 23 years old at the time.” (SBM) I think this guy is still alive and can be ruled out according to this article from 2018: Old Racers Share Fond Memories of 1970s Bulova Series – WHEELS.ca

I have found several like this one that appear to have the same dial but it's always a minor detail that keeps them from being exactly alike. On this one it's the minute hand.
I have noticed that out of all the many Bulova watches you can find its hard to find another exact match for just about any of them.
If they were just traveling, and never returned home, you would think family, co-workers, and friends would report....
It's always interested me how NEITHER one could be identified...not one, but two people with very distinctive faces, but no one has come forward. If we assume they were running drugs, then maybe not so much. This could have been a set up or a hit....to me, it was execution style. If they were just traveling, and never returned home, you would think family, co-workers, and friends would report....
What is the big white block building adjacent to the cemetery? An old school?
This.It's entirely possible that they were reported missing; depending on where they were from the missing persons report may have just been local (if they were from the west coast or Canada? Slim chance of a sheriff's department in South Carolina finding out about it back in the late '70's; inter-jurisdictional information-sharing has always been a problem for policing in the US and it was much more so 40+ years ago before the Internet when things either came in by Teletype or you didn't know about them). And in a lot of cases back then missing persons reports were just ignored or treated as low-priority if the missing persons in question were of age.
Possibly?? (I can’t shake the feeling about Tiffany) I haven’t been able to find any additional details yet...

Details of Disappearance
- Missing Since: 08/04/1972
- Missing From: Arnold, Missouri
- Classification: Endangered Runaway
- Sex: Male
- Race: White
- Date of Birth: 04/17/1957 (62)
- Age: 15 years old (would have been 19)
- Height and Weight: 5'7 - 5'9, 140 pounds
- Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian male. Brown hair, blue eyes. Earl has a triangular patch of pale skin, like an arrowhead, on the center of his chest. His hair was shoulder-length at the time of his disappearance. His nickname is Jay.
Earl was last seen in Arnold, Missouri on August 4, 1972. He ran away from home with Geraldine Hearst, a friend from his school, and a thirty-year-old male. They were driving a red convertible vehicle. Geraldine was found alive in California, but Earl has never been heard from again. Few details are available in his case.

Any idea who the thirty-year-old male was?
It doesn’t appear that anyone has been able to find much about him or Geraldine. I did a quick search for Geraldine and didn’t find anything that was related to this. I didn’t spend much time on it, surely there is something about them somewhere. They know her name and his age... I suspect they didn’t release much in the initial stages of the investigation (plus they considered him just a runaway to begin with, not sure how long exactly) for the usual reasons, then as time went by and the case got cold it just all kind of fell to the wayside JMO. Hopefully someone is able to find more info...
