There is also the murders of two coeds from WVU which occurred in 1970. Though not a true "cold case", there is still plenty of discussion and controversy surrounding the case.
Karen Ferrell and Mared Malarik were kidnapped from Morgantown on the night of January 18th, 1970. Four months later, their decapitated bodies were found along an old mining road. Their heads were never recovered.
Six years later, Eugene Paul Clawson confessed to the murders. Following his conviction, he recanted. There are some, including members of law enforcement, who feel that Clawson is innocent or, at the least, did not act alone.
Then there are these, from the WVSP website:
