I'm fairly confident the two calls from Florida to Keith's mom were made by him. Keith was known to be living in Florida at the time. I can't see the reason for anyone else to call his mom and not speak. The second call was traced to Orange County Jail in Orlando. While there was no one there...

Personally, I've never got the vibe that it was the husband. Why complicate things by abducting/murdering two other girls who had nothing to do with it? Just because there may have been tensions within the family do not mean they are behind the disappearance. There are witness reports of the...

Cases such as this are so frustrating when it's obvious who's responsible.

I can't really get past all the lightbulbs being unscrewed. I did consider that Laureen and her friends were fooling around and playing in the dark, but surely this would have been confirmed by Kristen? That means someone could've done this to create a cover of darkness for an abduction. No...

I wonder how long his body was there before it was found? No way to determine cause of death either. I hope this was able to give his family some closure at least.

Take it for what you will: I also hitched a ride to Watkins Glen that summer from Rutland Vermont, with $20 in my pocket. I was fortunately picked up by a young girl we were both 18 yrs old, and I stayed with her on lake superior and we drove to the concert together only to split up. She had...

I cannot find any source for significant flooding near the Susquehanna in July 1973. Do you have one?

From what I gather, the current is typically slow at that time of year and tides are low. It wouldn't have been strong enough to sweep them both away, and it is unusual that no trace of them was recovered. That's why part of me suspects that Allyn's story was a confession without confessing.

We don't know how it played out. What if Jennifer had struggled initially when the driver was pulling out, and he uses a gun or knife to subdue her, causing it to swerve. Jennifer might have complied for the rest of the drive, and that's why no one else saw the vehicle driving erratically. This...

So challenging that it might have caused the car to swerve on the way out?

The problem is you're assuming that Jennifer fought the whole time. What if there was an initial struggle when the car first pulled out but the driver subdued Jennifer? All it might have taken was pointing a gun or knife at her. After that, we just have two people in a car. And if the driver was...

On paper, it sounds as if the case against Jason Lara is pretty strong. His only alibi came from his girlfriend, but I've lost count of cases where it turned out the girlfriend alibied a guilty partner.

The sighting is unconfirmed and uncorroborated, but I don't believe that is a reason to dismiss it and assume that it was a different car. Didn't the witness claim that it looked like two people struggling for control of the vehicle? That would seem to suggest it was more than just someone...

Wasn't Jennifer's car seen leaving the parking lot at 7:40am that morning, with what looked like two people fighting over the wheel? That would rule out Monday evening, if true. The perpetrator was most likely someone local or one of the nearby workers. There would be no reason to move...

Why? There are countless cases of women being forcibly abducted by one person. Israel Keyes forced Samantha Koenig from the coffee shop and across the street into his pickup.
