Yes...Welch did. I was referring to a thread about the Lyons girls where there was previous mention of Debardeleben, who does not seem to have anything to do with the Lyons girls. However, he is a lurking presence in other girls who went missing in the 1970s.

Keeping the thread going. I feel confident that this case is solvable. While I have no proof I am wondering if someone from the neighborhood was watching her that day.

- rbbm Wondering if some perp asked for directions while she was near the intersection where the dogs found her scent, and because she was deaf in one ear, got close enough to hear the question, but also could be easily pulled into a vehicle? speculation.imo.

Possible. Absolutely. Wondering if someone closer who lives in the area saw her leave the house and waited a bit. Left their home in a car and grabbed her.
That is what i am thinking- maybe her family was seen leaving the home and Wendy sunbathing.
Perhaps they intended to go to her home, but seeing her leave the house, decided to follow her instead.
Also wondering if somebody from Wendy's church or who attended her music recitals, may have targeted, watched then followed her- offering a lift in his car- which she may have accepted or was forced inside the vehicle.
All speculation, imo.

There are so many possibilities, I just wish she could be found.
Debardeleben was arrested sometime in 1976 and was released from custody on 5-5-78. He pistol whipped a lady in 1975 and he kidnapped and raped a girl just south of where Wendy went missing just months after his release on 9-4-78 in Delaware. He was convicted of this crime after his 1984 arrest, so he was definitely committing these type of crimes in the area where Wendy went missing and only God knows how many young women this guy assaulted, IMHO he was probably the worst serial killer ever but we will never be sure how many disappearances he was responsible for.
If this guy abducted Wendy, wondering where he would most likely leave her body?
That is a very good question. If indeed Debardeleben was as prominent a serial killer as most experts think he was, he had a very good method because they never found any bodies that were tied to him that he had intentionally hid. The few murders he was essentially responsible in LE's eyes anyway, the bodies were found relatively easy. However IMHO, he has a lot of buried secrets. Years ago I spoke to a guy who is sort of an expert on all things Debardeleben, and he thinks he used bodies of water to get rid of bodies and old vehicles. As far as I know, LE has never released any information on any bodies found that were linked to Debardeleben.
Interesting, as you know- because you have also posted on the thread, lots of information and conversation concerning Debardeleben..
The girls were abducted then what?

Could these cold cases be related to Wendy's?
