    MA MA - Judith S. Bleiler, 18, Brockton, 16 September 1977

    My only problem with Anderson as a suspect is the mismatch with the Masters case of 4 months before Judith went missing and for which he was convicted. In the Masters case no attempt was made to conceal the body. If Anderson killed Judith he made a pretty major change in his methods in a short...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    I agree generally. My only qualification is that it is not impossible that there is an undiscovered or undisclosed motive related to criminal or other dubious activity. At almost the same time as the Wilson murder a Swindon bank manager was killed due to his drug habit and dealing, and there...

    NV NV- James Edgar Thurman, 42, Las Vegas, 27 Jun 1986

    He was married at least twice. In the 1960s he was married in 1966 to Catherine Louise Reich but they divorced in 1968. In 1983 he married a wife called Sharon L. and they divorced only 2 months before he disappeared in April 1986. I wonder if this latter marriage was a remarriage as Ancestry...

    CA CA - Christopher King, 25, Rialto, 2 Aug 1974

    Kearney was in Tijuana, but that was in the 60s for certain although it does not rule out him having returned in the 70s. But he murdered a 5 year old 3 weeks after Christopher King disappeared and that was in LA near to the airport so we know both that he was not in Tijuana a little later and...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    I would agree about the gun but for the fact that I posted at #1053 a link to a report of a kidnap and torture for extortion case clearly committed by professional criminals that used precisely this gun model. I do not know how common this model is but there are obviously some in criminal...

    MI MI - Robert Dale, 33, Sault Ste Marie, 18 May 1996

    I would agree this was the obvious explanation if it was not for the reports in the Sault News from 2017 where the family were quoted; “The biggest thing I want to say this year is some people have come forward and given the police new information,” said Scott Dale, who has spearheaded the...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    Unless someone can confirm the ammunition could also be used in rifles it could simply not be bought legitimately in the UK except under vanishingly rare circumstances.

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    I agree. Not only is possession of the ammunition strictly regulated but legitimate purchase of ammunition for weapons requiring a firearms certificate, as opposed to shotguns, is also recorded and available to police as part of the licensing system. So it would be very easy for the police to...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    The gun is surprising but possible. The ammunition is a different matter. If it was fired regularly it would be necessary to buy regular supplies of information. That was illegal for 6 years before the murder and the law was strictly enforced. You could not just go into a gun specialist and...

    IL IL - Robert Wayne Linder, 24, Chicago, 2 June 1969

    It appears he was born in Arkansas on 15 January 1945. This comes from an Ancestry tree and records which include the details of his twin brother Mark and his mother dying in 2014, both details given in the link in #11 above. His father, Bernard Westbrook Linder Jr died in 2003. His mother's...

    UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

    The comments made over the last couple of days are interesting but if this was just the work of a disgruntled local one question needs to be answered; how did he get hold of the weapon? The gun may be a war relic but even then it is surprising that it just happens to be in the possession of a...

    NV NV - Thomas Lee Roberts, 44, Las Vegas, 10 July 1969

    I am fairly sure he was born 5 June 1926 in Fort Worth, Texas. Ancestry has a record for the death of Leone Brenn in El Paso in 2006 (age 100) which refers to her son Tommy predeceasing her. It also has a birth record for Thomas Lee Roberts on the 1926 date to Leone Timms and Herbert Lee...

    CA CA - Cecile Moch, 19, Santa Barbara, 7 Aug 1980

    I think we can be reasonably confident she is not Castleberry Kate. The height is out (Cecile was 5'3" whereas Castleberry Kate was 5'5" to 5'7". But more importantly Kate had extensive dental worlk and dentals are available for Cecile so a match or elimination would be easy. Nothing is...

    Australia Australia - Tegan Lane, 2 days old, Sydney, 14 Sept 1996 *K. Lane guilty*

    There are two quite separate issues in this case; her guilt or not and the conduct of the case. It is fine to believe in her guilt but anyone who has looked into the details knows that this case is so deeply infected by prosecutorial misconduct that it stinks out the entire Australian system...

    NY NY - Betty Blanche Pitchon Seritzeanu, 44 - May 1974

    Born Betty Blanche Pitchon in New York on 17 September 1929. She married Martin Seritzeanu in 1963 in the Bronx. Her husband only died in 2018. He remarried in either 1975 or 1976.
