He lived in Texas for a time but seems to be currently living in Larkspur, Colorado.

One thing that puzzles me is the lack of mention of him in family announcements. The Modesto Bee obituary for his father, Wayburn Rogers, at https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/modestobee/name/wayburn-rogers-obituary?id=11922358 lists the children, including 2 other deceased sons but no mention...

He did have at least 2 nieces by his sister Betty Ann. He may have had more but I have not checked his other siblings and I have no idea whether the nieces were red haired. It does not prove anything either way but it is important to establish facts when they are a feature of the case. This...

A further small piece of information consistent with the Vraniak/Kelsey change and his having chosen to leave the priesthood is that the wife he is shown as marrying in the Ancestry trees (Margaret Mayernick) lived in Virden, confirmed by 1910 and 1920 census records. Again not proof but it...

There are multiple trees on Ancestry which identify him with a man called Edward Anthony Kelsey who died in 1950 in Granville, Illinois. This man married and had 3 children. His date of birth of June 22 1894 is the same as that of the missing priest. So the question is whether this is true. One...

A new brick has appeared to slot into the mystery wall. I found a clipping on Newspapers.com at Record Searchlight from Redding, California showing a Reno marriage for Patricia Crandall age 19 and Gene Cline age 21 both of Redding in Shasta County and dated 9 July 1949. I attach the clipping...

It does not matter what label we attach to the Smaldone family but since they were involved in Vegas skimming operations and closely tied to the St Louis family it is difficult to see them as anything other than Italian organised crime in the same way as the likes of the big families elsewhere...

The Tree is not exactly derelict but has been closed and on the market since 2023. As for the bus, the service and operator has changed since 1995. Even today the buses only run every 2 hours and the last one is circa 6pm. I cannot imagine any good reason to go up there to catch a bus when there...

Whilst the facts are correct I have to disagree with the point about proof of life for reasons I have stated before. If the police had proof of life they would not have conducted multiple case reviews in the years since, including one by a superintendent in the last 10 years. And given the...

Her father died in 2015 and his obituary at https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/dailypilot/name/charles-robertson-obituary?id=16542375 gives details of the family which confirms she has multiple siblings still living (or did have in 2015) and that the family believe she is dead as it lists her...

It is not uncommon that there are traces on ancestry, either due to overlooked records or due to one or more family members entering information which they know but has not been shared with LE or even some family members. Stella Horrell was found in a similar way and I also recall another case...

I have been prompted to look at this one again. I previously posted that there were suggestions in 2018 that Gary Northington may be released on health grounds. It seems he has either recovered or has been detained for other reasons as Offender Tracking Information System (OTIS) - Offender...

Andrew Edhouse, the biker named in the reports, illustrates the depths of the Kalgoorlie biker culture. Charged (but acquitted despite good evidence) of the murder of Marc Chabriere in 2001. He was also arrested for 2 attempted murders at the same time and in 2005 was again acquitted of various...

If the bikers who followed her were members of a local club it is overwhelmingly likely that they were members of the Dirty Dozen Club which had pretty much a monopoly on Arizona in 1980. This being the case the authorities would be well advised to look at John Leslie Huey, one of their members...

They are in the 1950 census under the name Ocan living in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Presumably a transcription error in the surname.
