I am lost. What is the interest in Purissima Cemetery? And the connection to Marin County? Did I miss something? :waitasec:
Should be San Mateo County...InterestedNHelping had a hunch that the Purisima Cemetery might have some connection to the case. So far the only obvious connection is that two Hatch family members (for which Hatch Woods, which adjoined our farm, may be named) are buried there. In the early days of 1973 I got permission to use a plot, probably the last one, if we found Anna not alive.Dr. Doogie said:I am lost. What is the interest in Purissima Cemetery?

The last person to be buried there was an 81-year-old woman who died in 2001. Another elderly woman was buried there in 1953 and an older man in 1963. I will look more closely at the other dates, but at a glance I don't see any date which would be likely.Medusa said:Interested said there were "few recent burials" . What do you mean by that? How long since the last one. It would be interesting to find out if there were any in say 66 - 68, or even up to 1973 of a child or infant. Someone mentioned (sorry I am about to drop and this was my last thread to read tonight) that people used to go to cemetaries and find someone near the age they needed the identity for, the right sex, and then get the birth certificate, and apply for a social - that is absolutely correct. It was in several books on how to disappear or change identity. Back then, children weren't given SS Nos. at birth as they are now and it was apparently an easy thing to get id this way. If there are any females in that age that are buried there, it might be worthwhile to find out and check and see if there is anyone by that name and date of birth, etc. today.
I questioned that, too.Medusa said:Interested said there were "few recent burials" . What do you mean by that? How long since the last one.

The list posted was made in August, 2005. An earlier list had been made in 1935. Remember, we have no concrete tangible evidence that connects the Purisima cemetery to Anna's case; we are looking at it because InterestedNHelping had an intuition that the cemetery might be significant in some way.smile22 said:i looked at all the dates of death on the website and all the dates of death were from the 1800s only a few from the 1900s a few names that struck out at me "Keifer, Phoebe A inscription illegible, except that she died on the 10th" is it possible that if there is a connection when the person went to get a random date off a grave stone at that time you could see the date? does anyone know when this list was made and when the graves were checked?.
another recent death Young, Gertrude (Pitcher), b. 1893, d. 1953 not sure if it has any relevance but it was the only other earliest date besides the one from 2001
Thanks, Annasom! Just a thought. I kind of feel there might be some significance to the visions, and was trying to think of things to do with the ideas.Annasmom said:The last person to be buried there was an 81-year-old woman who died in 2001.

Hmmm....Joe Ford said:It might be worth mentioning that the "wild man with ax" that confronted Annasbro and I (see earlier posts) lived in a ramshackle hut adjacent to the cemetery.
Yes, this is the same place and, no, no one lived on that wooded property after he disappeared. I had kept a suspiscious eye on it since Anna's disappearance and the confrontation with him.Dr. Doogie said:Hmmm....
Is this the same place that you collected some discarded mail on the Verde Road property? I have those letters/notes in front of me, but they were collected in 1980 - do you know if anyone lived there between the "wild man" and when you gathered the items?
The letters are addressed to Richard Speder and include mail that arrived to a post office box in Chico. Because of this, I suspect that Speder is not the same person as the "wild man". I looked into this guy about a year ago and couldn't find anything on him. Anyone wanna take a shot at it?
I don't think this is the same person. The man we saw was between 25 and 35 years old at that time. Which would put him about 63 now.InterestedNHelping said:Is this your guy? This is listed in the California Death Index, any info on him is traceable by his SS #. Hope this helps.
