Herbert Baumeister a/k/a the I-70 Strangler a/k/a Brian Smart, IN-OH SK, has never been linked to the murders of Beau King, Bill Comeans, or the other teens discussed here. His victims were yoZung gay men, primarily prostitures. * See the Websleuths thread in the Serial Killers forum linked...

Despite my rather lengthy absence from WS after my husband passed, Shane's disappearance often comes to mind. I do my best to mention him (and the facts surrounding his disappearance) to others, as well. The more individuals who are aware, the greater the chance that someone with knowledge...

Welcome, Skaticat_22. I'm glad you've joined the forum. I can assure you that you are among a large population of curious and caring individuals who've literally lost sleep and spent restless nights trying to make sense of the heart-wrenching tragedies commonly referred to on this forum simply...

Beyond the sadness and compassion I feel for all of the victims and their loved ones, I am most touched by the deaths of Peaches and the little toddler. It's fair to surmise that each victim at some time, in some manner, and for whatever reason, survived an injury that left her (and him) with a...

That would be such a blessing! I followed this tragedy closely when I was active prior to 2017. I had so many links bookmarked. I'm going to search for them. Carole Ann really touched my heart, poor sweet girl. We were close in age, and I was a good little Catholic school girl who...

Tricia, Please accept my very belated "thanks". First time reading this message. It was posted just a month after I lost my beloved Mr. Bessie, and you know the state of mind I was in at the time. In fact, I had completely forgotten about the article until (coincidentally is an...

If I understand you correctly, I concur. Viewing videos within the confines of LE would be intimidating. A criminal with an ounce of sense would put on a poker face.

Does this map help you at all? Once the map opens, click the legend. The icons mark key locals, like the KK and the Rollerdrome. KATHY JONES, NASHVILLE, 1969 - Google My Maps

Hi, all. I haven't posted about Kathy in a very long time, but I've not forgotten her, either. Going through my large folder of Websleuths case related articles and documents, I came across a copy of the newspaper article I ordered years, ago. It's a copy of the original story regarding...

Well, I can't dispute your first point, chemo. The separate clusters of abductions and homicides of young women during that particular era, and in that particular region, is mind boggling. And no doubt, you have even a better perspective than I, since the region is rather unfamiliar to me...

You're welcome. I learned a little more about his time line, but can't find anything on his whereabouts from his return from Vietnam in Dec 1969 until about 1976, when he hit a woman, an acquaintance, in the head with a deadly weapon (a pipe I believe). For that crime he served time until...

I know this is coming late, but you can glean some information from his 2001 appeal. Those other two dozen murders might have occurred in as many as seven different unnamed states. He was in Vietnam 1968-69, and was already in San Quentin in July 1982. So his timeline would have been in...
