Thank you surfranamy for this information You're right, we had confused these 2 cases. I tried to google Jeannie Yates without any success, even the SSA Master Death Index on Ancestry. Are there any details about her case as far as dates are concerned? Obviously still an unsolved homicide...

Yeah, I thought it was strange too. I guess the Florida Times-Union had other things to report on, or didn't consider it important enough to print. I haven't been back here in a while...it's just so discouraging be confronted with case after case of people getting away with the worst crimes...

By the way, I neglected to thank birdie74 for transcribing those three articles...kudos once again to you, birdie!

Yes, those are the ones, but they are from 1973, I mentioned them in my original posting. Later, I read that one of these 2 cases was linked by gun barrell evidence to the convicted killer of another girl, that was posted on another site that I cannot recall now. What I was wondering, ...as I...

Thank you birdie74 for all the time and work you put into finding all of this information, you went above and beyond the call. Thankfully, we have her first name for certain. I felt bad about posting before I even knew her name, but I was hoping that someone from Jacksonville who was older than...

I just searched this forum Cold Cases for 'Mylette' and as you will see there were even more girls missing that summer(1974)...strangely, the girl mentioned in the newspaper article back then, the one killed while walking through the woods off Merrill road isn't one of the ones mentioned in...

I was mistaken about it being the Westside, it was two sisters from the Northside and one little girl here in Arlington. Mom was mistaken about the timeline: she pulled out the file from her 'Helping Hand' program days and all the newspaper articles about the program and getting it started were...

I asked my Mom if she remembered and at first she couldn't recall much more than the most general details, but when I mentioned that she was found in the dunes she said, "Oh yeah, I remember now...She didn't go to the mall to return something..she went to buy a terrarium, those were big in those...

I'm wondering if JSO has entered the details into VICAP and if anything similar showed up. I know there is nothing to compel local jurisdictions to go through their old cases and enter each one into VICAP, and in some cases...probably many cases, there aren't enough details in the files to match...

It's very possible..likely even, especially since there is only one Malinka in the telephone directory in a city of 800,000. While it is possible that there was another Malinka in Jacksonville then, it is most likely her, sadly. I had thought it happened a couple of years earlier and that she...

Thank you so much for the replies. Malinka is the correct spelling. Her parent(s) are still listed on the same street behind my parents. Most of the kids in our neighborhood went to public school, but I believe she attended private schools...possibly Catholic school, because I checked the Terry...

I still remember my mother's warning to my older sisters; teenagers at the time, "Please be careful... remember the Malinka girl?" to which they would sigh, roll their eyes and say "...oh Mom" as they left the house. The Malinka girl lived one street over from us in our Arlingwood neighborhood...
