Please do. I believe that the items found with the remains as well as the skeleton are in a barrel in Bedford, possibly the state police ? He has not been buried. He also had a canteen if that helps with DNA. I live about an hour away from Bedford. I’ve always wondered about him.

I haven’t heard much regarding the people in his life. Teachers, neighbors, family friends, mentors, etc. I do believe that an external force was at play, but maybe it wasn’t the internet. Could he have formed a secret sort of friendship with someone who didn’t have his best interest in mind ...

Maybe some of you remember the brother and sister ( ages 10 and 12) who came forward in 2015 who believed that they may have stayed at the same motel as WCJD circa April 1980. They said she told them she was a runaway , was 16 and she wanted to go see her friend who was in prison. She was...

I haven’t been able to find the old article yet, I will keep looking though, but here is some information on the idea that they think she was the victim of a serial killer. They think that there were several I45 serial killers, but several of these women were not raped, but sexually assaulted...

Yes , I’ll try to find the article

I believe this is an unfortunate possibility. I found old newspaper articles mentioning a string of women in the area at that time who were beaten in the face , strangled and sexually assaulted with an object but not raped and found dumped nude. It’s definitely a very real possibility.

This is generally what I was thinking. I agree that she had to have the support of someone or multiple people along the way. She may have even been working at the rodeo that month, as I read they hired people in the community. You’re spot on saying that any guy ( prisoner or not ) would not...

It was a very big event. I read tens of thousands of people attended. She may have even gotten work there. I read that they hired people in the community for certain jobs. It would be a good way for a transient teen to make some money at a fun venue. But she was looking for directions to Ellis...

Thank you , I did see the posts you were talking about, would’ve never found them on my own lol. I was 10 in 1980, so not much younger than Sherry. I had troubles and I was boy crazy. I went to a local Christian Rock Concert in 1985 ( age 15) and met 3 older boys who were in attendance and they...

I haven’t done a deep dive into this, but here’s a thought. It was said by her family that Sherry liked horses. So I go to an old newspapers site and look to see what was happening in the Huntsville area in October of 1980. Apparently they had an annual Texas prison Rodeo held every Sunday...

Most certainly PA Dutch ( German ) with a name like Freund and coming from Lancaster PA , an area known for its Amish population and PA Dutch heritage.

I live about 40 minutes from the location where Mr Bones remains were found in 1958. I tried contacting the Bedford County Police about 1 1/2 years ago without success. Today, I tried again and spoke to a very friendly officer who expressed great interest in contacting DNA Doe Project. I...

Bumping for Pamela and Patricia. We are approaching the 50th anniversary of their disappearance. Somebody knows what happened that day. Praying for a resolution. I have some thoughts and opinions, but with what little information that has been released, it is hard to say. Too many unanswered...

I'm hoping that this is permitted , if not I apologize . I did a geographical search for the concentration of the Surname " Hicks" on Ancestry and this was the result : I'd gladly post a picture if I'm allowed , but am not sure how. Hicks Name Meaning & Hicks Family History at Ancestry.com

I tend to think one of the following scenarios are possible : * He was saying his name was Steve and was referring to Hix , WV , as a previous poster mentioned , there is indeed a Hix ( McDowell County) WV and a Hix ( Summers County ) WV * He was saying his name was Steve Hicks as it is a...
