I think I found a connection for James and Pam to Myrtle Beach: there is a highway from Myrtle Beach that connects to Locklair Rd by a sharp turn left.

To be clear, my reply about pot being in the system was intended to answer a question only and not to accuse anybody of anything. I’m brand new to this and don’t know enough to have an opinion on anything. I wasn’t aware of this thread and started a duplicate in another section by error.
Mhm. To add to my MB theory, there was a KOA near the beach itself in MB, which according to many theories is the style Pam and James lived by: campground to campground by carI don't know how the matchbook got off into smoking pot territory. I was trying to point out that the simple explanation for how a matchbook from a truck stop in Nebraska got into their possession, Pamela was from Colorado which is next door to Nebraska and she was probably going down Interstate 80.
As some one previously stated Matchbooks were advertisement and free and you could get them everywhere. Truck stops, diners, restaurants almost any business would have a glass jar of them sitting by the cash register for free.
If they had found their possessions, they probably would have found a lot more and also things like candles. It appears they were living outdoors most of the time and at the campgrounds, they probably used candles at night or had a fire to cook their food.
Mhm. I know dragging theories is sometimes futile, but what if James used these matches at some campground like a KOA?Their toxicology reports showed no drugs or alcohol in their systems when they died. Articles I found say that postmortem toxicology reports are taken with blood, but levels of THC can be a bit sketchy depending on time of death, decomposition of the body before autopsy, etc. Still, if they were smoking weed I assume they would have find paraphernalia on their bodies and traces of it on their clothes and personal effects. Not that it really matters anyway, imo.
He could have taken the matchbooks just in case or because they were of use while camping (lighting a fire to stay warm, boil water, cook food, light candles to see in the dark, anything really). I don't think the matchbooks really mean anything.

My only thoughts related to smoking pot is... maybe they did, no big deal. Maybe they didn't so no deal at all. And, Pam and Jim being smugglers... no, it just doesn't fit. IMO
Exactly. They could have had the matches for a multitude of reasons, including no specific reason lol.Why did this thread jump to these innocent victims being pot smokers? So what if they were? Can't we just let them rest in peace?
Stolen? By whom?I tend to think you're on the right track. Most likely they had a vehicle that was stolen.
A lot of us think Pam and James might've picked up a carjacker pretending to be a hitchhikerStolen? By whom?

The article announcing James's birth says his parents lived in Leominster but that he was born at the Lucy Helen Hospital, which is in Fitchburg: The Historic District - Lucy Helen Hospital
I know this doesn't contribute towards any greater knowledge of this case but I thought I'd add it for the sake of accuracy.
Through searching newspapers.com I was hoping to find info post-army service but, alas, I didn't find anything except for the attached. But there appear to have been more than 1 James Freund in Lancaster so, who knows.
If you find it relevant, his family appear to have moved to Lancaster in 1956 (that's when parents bought the house). And that in addition to baseball (he was pitcher/infielder), he made the paper for setting a discus throw record as a 14yr old and for bowling. If you search newspapers.com using "Jim" instead of James, you can find this.
