I don't know of anything online. Sorry, it is tough to describe.

That's the only time I read it. Every other version has her walking down the street. I think the woods option depends on how far she got after her brother turned back. The house with the puppies was at the end of South Shore to the left, technically on Allen Rd and facing Allen. I think there...

Yes. Version 3 - "She was last seen headed through woods to a neighbor's house to see a litter of puppies." Only version I've seen where she's going into the woods, not just walking on the street. Probably wrong, but interesting.

August 6, 1993 "However, Zachary became frightened by a different neighbor’s dog along the way and ran back to his grandparents" -- version 1, mentions the name of the collie dog neighbor. If this is true, police know where they separated on that street. Version 2 - Edward Lemieux of Grafton...

Sorry that posted twice.

Yes, definitely. That is the exact thing I heard. But I also read she never got there. In the earliest accounts in multiple newspapers, written the day after her disappearance, there are references to a big, unfriendly dog. In one version, the brother ran home after seeing it. In another, she...

I think there is a chance if the same person was responsible for Molly and Holly's deaths. State police went back to the area in 2018 to get DNA samples from neighbors. Holly's remains were found much more quickly and the technology is advancing rapidly. I don't think Holly was grabbed by a...

I think it's great- and really helpful - that you give your insights on these cases. Question for all - I have read different versions of the puppy account. I read one - but only one - version in which one or all of the collie puppies escaped. Has anyone heard this?

I'm skeptical about the DNA but maybe advances will help. From what I read, it looks to me like it would have been pretty degraded. Also no Parabon sketch like they released with Vanessa Marcotte and Lisa Ziegert. And from what I read GB was supposedly tested for a match years ago and RS...

Do we Do we know it's actually his? I have so many fake people contacting me there and on FB it's ridiculous.

I don't take his letter seriously either. He knew he was about to get caught. All those years he worked with LE to try to get his son back when he knew exactly why she'd moved across the country. Bundy said the same thing about 🤬🤬🤬🤬 that he did. To have the cajones to move to the town where he...

I agree with much of what you say. But I also just finished writing about the Lisa Ziegert case. As you say, the guy was in the files from the beginning and worked with law enforcement-which I believe delayed his capture for decades. He had no record at all and was seen as a great guy. People...

What you say makes sense. I agree that having knowledge others don't makes a difference when you think about the case. I never trained as a lifeguard so would never consider that type of thing. I also love that her mom replied to you and pointed you to that episode.

True. But I also think it's extraordinary how many cold cases amateur sleuths, reporters and podcasters are helping get solved. It's a symbiotic relationship and the contributions regular people have made have been pretty impressive over the past few years. Even drawing attention to these cases...

I also think people are afraid of the police, especially in a high profile case like that. So maybe nobody tells the whole truth and police have to sort out which misstatements matter most.
