    OR OR - Martin Family: Ken 54, Barbara 48, Barbie 15, Columbia River Gorge, 7 December 1958

    Well, at least they've been identified, and the family is able to lay them to rest. I'm gathering no evidence of foul play was found, so I'd have to say a terrible accident was most likely. Then again, there is only so much that can be gleaned from situations like this. I'm still just amazed...

    OR OR - Martin Family: Ken 54, Barbara 48, Barbie 15, Columbia River Gorge, 7 December 1958

    Aside from the eldest, Donald, born in October, 1930, the three younger daughters were born as follows: Barbara (Barbie), 1944 Virginia, September 19, 1946 Susan, Jan 9, 1948 I've never found any evidence of adoptions or missing/deceased siblings, despite the unusual 13-14 year gap between...

    GUILTY FL - Thomas Zeigler Jr - Wrongly convicted? (quadruple murder 2 July 1976)

    This case has long intrigued me, and I am still really on the fence regarding Tommy Zeigler's guilt. In my opinion, I do think Zeigler is guilty, but I also think there was at least one, or two, other people involved. The crime scene looks like a shootout and physical evidence tends to support...

    CT CT - Joseph Kasak, 43, Newington, 9 May 1980

    That's accurate...there's been speculation in this case that Kasak wasn't the one who drove his vehicle to Keene and abandoned it, and that he never left Connecticut that night. But that's just speculation as there isn't really any hard evidence either way, but the unusual circumstances of...

    Apparently there have been no updates on this case since last August, when human remains were found in the Martin vehicle. I wonder if they've even been examined and tested for DNA yet?

    Mexico Sharon Elizabeth Hall Kinne, 30, Escaped Convicted Murderer 7 December 1969, died in Alberta Canada in 2022

    I'll give an update on this case, namely regarding the circumstances of her post-escape identity. She apparently married James Glabus in Los Angeles, CA on February 2, 1970 with herself using the name Deidra Grace Hall on that marriage record. So, she married him only about two months after her...

    NE NE - Jason Jolkowski -19 - Omaha - 13 Jun 2001 - #4

    I know a certain house near the Jolkowski residence was later searched by police in relation to the disappearance, but nothing was found apparently. But it would NOT surprise me at all if the answer to his disappearance was right on his own neighborhood. As for his body, I think it was removed...

    NE NE - Jason Jolkowski -19 - Omaha - 13 Jun 2001 - #4

    I've long thought whoever was responsible (and I think foul play was definitely involved), was someone either Jason knew in some capacity or lived nearby. I suspect he was being watched during the days his car was in the shop and he was getting to work by other means (which I've not been able to...

    OR OR - Martin Family: Ken 54, Barbara 48, Barbie 15, Columbia River Gorge, 7 December 1958

    And I should add: I looked a bit more into Barbara's father George Alvin Cable. A brief obituary transcribed on his findagrave lists surviving relatives, but there is no mention of how he died or what circumstances. This is the link to his findagrave...

    OR OR - Martin Family: Ken 54, Barbara 48, Barbie 15, Columbia River Gorge, 7 December 1958

    I found their marriage record. They were married November 28, 1929 in Portland, Oregon. Below is the link: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPQF-Y5SJ?lang=en As for Barbara's father George Cable, maybe but I know nothing about the circumstances unfortunately, other than the death...

    OR OR - Martin Family: Ken 54, Barbara 48, Barbie 15, Columbia River Gorge, 7 December 1958

    To answer your question about where Ken and Barbra were from: Kenneth Martin was born in North Dakota in 1904 to parents who were from Iowa...they moved to Oregon sometime before 1929. Barbara, his wife (nee Cable) was born in Hillsboro ,Washington County, Oregon in January of 1910....her...

    OR OR - Martin Family: Ken 54, Barbara 48, Barbie 15, Columbia River Gorge, 7 December 1958

    For any sources I've ever consulted, Donald is their son to both Kenneth and Barbara. Donald was born in 1930, about a year after they were married. The gap otherwise is odd, but there are probably reasons they had to wait 14 years before having more children...I never found evidence of any...

    CA CA - Robert Domingos, 18, & Linda Edwards, 17, Santa Barbara Co, 4 Jun 1963

    I'm bumping.... Regarding Sandy: his existence was corroborated at least as far as the fact the youths in question had dropped him off at a motel (Royal Motel) in Arroyo Grande, where police later confirmed a young man of like description had stayed, according to the motel proprietor...

    MA MA - Joan Risch, 30, Lincoln, 24 Oct 1961

    Here is the link to the Boston Globe article from March, 2013 that I mentioned in my previous post: https://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2013/03/30/unsolved-mysteries-boston/3F0hZDplpXMUI5TQht85XO/story.html Unfortunately most Globe articles are now behind pay/subscription walls but it's the...
