It's strange, but I randomly ran across this one on wikipedia the other day. I grew up just south of Moundsville, WV, and we all knew about this case, though to be honest, I never knew the name of the girl until recently. Being 7 years old at the time, the thing that stood out, and what I still remember, was the van. And of course, kids my age were convinced they were seeing it around every corner, etc.--since little Washington Lands wasn't too awful far from Butler County, PA, and it was the center of our universe.
Still, since it has been a long time, and I was a child at the time, I wonder how many memories of mine regarding this incident are correct. As an example, we were told that this van may have been implicated in numerous missing children, and that there was a fella at the time taking polaroids of children before abducting them, also--in my memory, strictly--connected here.
It's sad that there has never been permanent resolution here. This was the first time I remembered thinking as a child that I was not safe.
