Charley project still has many people listed as missing even though the likelihood is that they are dead due to the circumstances surrounding the case. So yes, no body, but due to the circumstances and confession he is dead. Case may not be necessarily closed, but it is known for sure what happened to him now, even without a body. Not only has he confessed (and he is capable of telling the truth,as seen with Suzanne finally) but the book also gave accounts of what was told to others about what happened. In turn those people came forward with details to fill in the blanks to authorities. Its nice to think that he is still alive but all evidence now points to no, he isn't. Until a body is found no, of course his thread won't be and shouldn't be closed, just like Susan Cox Powell's won't be closed or Stacy Peterson's until bodies are found...or they mysteriously turn up alive but IMO not going to happen. But for all intents and purposes, it's now known what happened and focus needs to get on seeing if the body is recoverable. Poor little guy....never had a chanceHe should be listed as Missing then - so still not resolved.
I'm gobsmacked reading this news, especially considering no one would take a missing person report. So much that could have been avoided and now another missing child. Just awful
Was Floyd's marriage to the mother legal? I question that as surely in the years of this investigation they would have looked into all known relationships he had with mothers of young children? It doesn't add up...

Ok. Its just not adding up for me. Maybe they are trying to protect the family. I am not sleuthing the family but here's a "hypothetical" for you. Floyd's sister lived in SC in 1974-75 in Sumter, and Franklin showed up there. There is a guy with the "other" spelling we have of her now known name as it is on Wiki that lives in Anderson, SC, whos pics on his page...well...im going to leave it at that.
NOT only that, but Tennessee area that the FBI was looking at is RIGHT THERE. And this may be reaching, but what if the girl in Tennessee who told about how Floyd would rape her...maybe she just THOUGHT the other girl was her cousin, because that is what she was TOLD...so maybe he was bringing her to Tennessee before he fled with her to OK...just sayin. Anyway, Im glad she has her name and her family can have some resolve, whether the public gets to know the real name or not..I guess its not really important.
So based on Ancestry it appears SMS was the only child born between her parents so who is bio dad of missing baby brother??
My apologies for beating my drum here. In the ethnic group of "Brass Ankles/Melungeon/Redbones there were/are families who have a distinct reputation for going around the law.
Is there any possibility that any of you would be willing to do a thread in Jury where it cannot be read on the Internet? The mods, rightly so, monitor these threads so that the innocent are protected. I've been off the reservation before & gotten soundly & correctly trounced for it.
Very little of ALL of this is making sense now. In the circles that Floyd (I just don't believe that's his real name & would love confirmation) & Dial find themselves, lawlessness is the norm. One rarely finds blond/blue-eyed children in this circle of people. Those of you who can sleuth, & I can't, I'm just an ethno-historian, should look for pre-existing Germanic or Eastern European communities in the Carolinas. The Germans were there in the 1700s. There must be criminal & coroners' records for those who want to write a more detailed work. I do not mean to be obtuse, but I have promises I have made, & when I say I know this or that about these communities, believe me I do. I would be more than happy to discuss this either in Jury as a thread or as a pm, even though Bessie says this is rude, the equivalent of whispering in a crowded room, but that's all I can do here. Sloane, help me here.
