Sunshine 1950 - do you know any more details on this man? Robert Sanders Juniorawhile.
He had a hearing and they sent him to the prison in Santa Fe. He was release about 2 yrs later. Mentally ill . But he didn't kill the girl's. He was used as a coverup.
Welcome to Ws SMagnolia4ever, thanks for the intriguing post!Hello...intrigued to know if anyone has looked into David Parker Ray for these murders. The FBI has published an IMMENSE collection of items found in his "Toy Box" and home when he was arrested. He would only have been 22 at the time of these murders, but told his fiancé his first kill was a woman tied to a tree when he had just turned a teenager. He also said that he had been raping since he was old enough to tie little girls hands behind their backs. It's possible he was in the military during that time but most of the rest of his life was spent in NM, and that is what he would do.....go on "hunts" and catch victims walking or biking. Some of the items in the inventory look to date back about that far, and look to span from women to girls to even a couple of men and little boys. Check it out anyway. In case either girl may have had clothing or jewelry items missing.

Something new, thank you!
Welcome to Ws Baggins555!Has anyone ever suspected Royal Russell Long? He was a serial killer who roamed the west and killed pairs of girls. He died in prison in 1993. He was born in 1935 so he would have been about 26 at the time of the murders.

WY - WY/OK - Royal Russell Long, 1970s and 1980s
I'm sorry you've been carrying this for so long. I hope you're able to find some answers. Thanks for your kind words. I wasn't born when Barb went missing and I'm a distant relative so I never met her. Her siblings still search for answers. Hopefully we can find some. ❤️www.websleuths.com
Since the Sheriff's office just solved two cold cases, we are hoping they will try and solve this one. I was friends with Patty, saw her at the beach the night she went missing. Talk to the Sheriff's about possibly exhuming Patty's body for DNA.TedMac and all who are still concerned about Patty and Mattie: I am the half Brother of Patty, we had the same Mother Betty Jo Lewis, Pritz, Davidson.
My Father was Cullen Bobby Davidson who died in Aug. of 2015. I also would like to see this thread continue for I would want Patty's memory to be alive.
If you were thinking of this recently resolved case and Othram, then we were thinking the same thing!Since the Sheriff's office just solved two cold cases, we are hoping they will try and solve this one. I was friends with Patty, saw her at the beach the night she went missing. Talk to the Sheriff's about possibly exhuming Patty's body for DNA.
I think both of those photos are of Patty, but I could be mistaken. However newspapers aren’t known for their accuracy and attention to detail.2023

'Patty’s mother assured Mattie’s parents that the girls would be accompanied by Patty’s older sister, Connie. But Connie was apparently unaware of the outing, so the girls went unattended. Mattie’s family also didn’t know that Patty had been dating for a few years already and was being taken advantage of and groomed by older boys. Had they known this, they probably would not have let their precious Matty go with her without an adult chaperone.![]()

The girls were seen at the Municipal Beach. They purchased tickets to a few of the rides from Ben Wade Gaines, Patty’s ex-boyfriend. Then they left the Beach to walk to Patty’s and some witnesses saw them at different locations.'
