I don't know how we "know" but its part of the story that's told over and over. its a time thing I thought evryone agreed on. the exact time they came people ask about but i read here and I thought heard on old tv interviews posted on the internet. Theres questions I've seen here people asking what time the mall closed. because the police wouldn't come until then. Somebody knows what time it was called in. my question was did the mall call the police. Because if the sun went down and my 9 year old kid was missing the police would have to explain to my face what difference it made if the mall was open or not.
I haven't really been able to find much at all about the Army Navy stop only we know it happened because of the jeans being switched out.
I had read that it was only 2 girls on the timeline file from another site.
I wouldn't do it. If the person that worked it up was willing to come here and join and walk us through it that would be great if you ask me.
Where was the little girl at?It seems strange to me even in 1974 to leave a 9yr old girl alone in the car that you are in charge of.
In 1974 I was 10..I think it was a safer world. We never locked our house at night. I stood in the car front seat, seat belts were not mandatory, car seats unheard of. I rode my bike from dawn till dark all over the neighborhood alone most of the time . Snd I grew up in Jacksonville Florida near downtown/ what we call Springfield. Walked to and from school everyday. Sometimes alone and it was not a short walk. It was normal.
I don't know how I have overlooked the information of just the two older girls being remembered from the Army Navy Store.You are someone who I really think has a grasp of this case or as much as we can have with the info available so good I think it is probably true and opens my mind to so many more scenarios.
I was 2 in 74 and I where I live crime is still the same none.I live in a holler in WV.I believe you undoubtely that Jacksonville was safer then I go there about every year.I haven't researched any statistics but there seems that have been an ungodly amount of serial killers and child murderers in the 70's but yes much safer now.
So many more....
Jacksonville had several young girls missing or found deceased in the 70's . Dont remember the year. They have a websleuths page. About 3 or 5 girls? But even so I dont recall any massive panic in our neighborhood or my parents changing much. We weren't news flooded about these girls back then. You could play in the back of the family station wagon with your friends while your parents drove thru the liquor store and ordered mixed drinks to drink while driving. Not drunk but people didn't bat an eye back then.
There was a girl from the small town I live in whose family moved to Florida in 1972 that is believed to have been killed by a serial killer.I really don't know about all that statistic jazz but I do know we hear about stuff that would have never became national news then.I think there was more serial killers for sure.
