An article about Kristen Modafferi's disappearance and the search for her was posted today on the SFGATE website. This one always stuck with me because my girlfriend at the time (today my wife) flew out to SF to visit me exactly one week before Kristen went missing, on the 16th, and I drove...

This case is of interest to me bc it's local - Saratoga is about 30 minutes by car from me. Whenever someone vanishes along with their vehicle, a possibility is that they've left the roadway (usually by accident rather than with deliberate intent) and they and their car have become concealed...

Argh. No words for this one except to say I hope this news brings some peace to Jolissa's family and friends.

Wow, I'd never heard of this case. Eerie that this was happening 9 years ago to the day.

The timing and mystery of Jolissa's disappearance doesn't make me think of street gang involvement. That time of night, even gangsters are asleep - there's a reason that LE no-knock raids typically happen around 5:00am. And it doesn't send a clear message about turf or disrespect or unpaid debt...

On the one hand, it's reassuring to see more info about her movements that night. On the other hand it becomes a much more complicated search if she's not to be found west of Selma but rather up in the foothills east of Fresno. Because the area around Selma (between I99 and I5) is largely...

Been following this case a bit since I used to have to travel in that area. It's all ag if you go west from Selma as she did - walnuts, almonds, grapes, poultry, dairy, and the facilities to pack it and ship it. But this article says something about Avocado Lake. I'm not familiar with it but it...

Hi websleuthers. Since making a career change 18 months ago, I haven't had spare time to visit the websleuths forums. The career change was overdue and much-needed, and I've been so busy I really haven't had time to dwell on what a fantastic online community I'd had to leave behind. But the...

Yes. If I look at my own experiences in college, it was not uncommon for people to play drinking games (beer pong, etc.) and consume multiple drinks in a short space of time. Depending on what she'd eaten (and at what time), if she'd also drank heavily, HG might have continued to grow...

Regarding the last point: incisors can and do fall out quite quickly due to the shape of their roots, which are typically oblong or conical and have nothing to hold them in place in the maxilla or mandible once sufficient decay has occurred. Canine teeth fall out quickly as well for the same...

Because he's a local and because that's the kind of location that serial offenders look for in their daily lives. They spend a lot of time simply thinking about rape and murder and how to get away with it. Consider Ted Bundy and his discussions about driving around Tacoma and nearby environs...

Yes, sadly, the contract for Investigation Discovery programs on Netflix expired on October 5th. A number of similar shows were affected. :(

It's not inconsistent with known behaviors of persons in those categories, but of course each individual is different. In the wide-ranging interviews that Ted Bundy had with Bob Keppel, he talked about the way he felt and acted the morning after a murder. I don't have the quotes or Keppel's book...

Wow. I'm speechless. As a new websleuther (I only joined <2 months ago) I have been careful not to comment on any potential connection between Jesse Matthew and MH because I didn't feel that I had sufficient information. And I still don't - I'll just wait with bated breath to see what develops...

That's how I interpreted it. But the last known video was taken from Tuel Jewelers in the 300 block of E. Main, and I believe LE has said that JM's car was parked on 4th St. So even if they walked back onto the Mall and proceeded westbound for a block, they wouldn't pass in front of Tuel (or...
