I live in Rapides Parish. Is there anything that I can do to help?

One more thing that keeps running through my mind! Nancy took Adam to a few doctors when he was younger, and I believe that it has been said that he was diagnosed as possibly autistic or as having Asperger's. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like he got the proper help he needed- outside of...

Hey guys, I am new to this particular discussion but I have been following the Sandy Hook school shooting since the beginning because of how much it troubled me, and I'm sure everyone else. I'm still trying to catch up on all that you have been writing about and I have a lot of work to do so...

Thank you again Bessie and everyone else for your help! I contacted the Knoxville Cold Case Department and they informed me that the suspect committed suicide. The person that contacted me said that, if they remembered correctly, it was someone who lived within close proximity of Peggy Ann...

Thank you! I'll contact them!

Thank you!! Apparently, they aren't releasing the names of most of his victims. Peggy was murdered in 1985, so it depends on when he was arrested.

Just an update: I contacted the head of the Chief of Police at the Knoxville Police Department a few weeks ago, who I was directed to by the web-master. I mainly just wanted to find out if the case had ever actually been solved or not, which I don't think it has. He still has not replied... Any...

Thank you both for your help! There was one article in which the mother was interview and I just got the feeling that the family really wanted to move on. They are obviously much older now, as would be her brothers and sisters. Its just very sad. I read an article on Tru TV one time about child...

Just an update: I emailed a local news writer in Knoxville who told me that they as far as they know the crime had not been solved. I was wondering if this was one of those crimes that had been solved sort of under the table-that hadn't really gotten much news, or if there was a person of...

I wonder the same thing! It is one of those cases that haunt me. It is an incredibly sad story. This little girl deserves justice.

I emailed the Marple Township Historical Society asking if they had anymore information on the case, as the news reports were scarce. They said they would check their local archives and talk with local law enforcement officers to find out if there was ever anymore information in this case.

Hey everybody! I've got another cold case. This one is in Pennsylvania... and unfortunately, there has not been much news about it. Basically, 8-year-old Gretchen Harrington, disappeared while walking to Bible School in Marple Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Her body was found off a...

I would definitely agree that this Larry Lee Smith guy is similar to the Barnes' murder- at least in the binding of the victim and raping. I've been away from my computer all day but I was able to look up one article on him. I'll have to read more about him. Thank you sloane7777! Sent from my...

So reading through an article on Patricia and Susan Williams, there were quite a few things that just now hit me. In the article, a detective who was looking over the case years later said that an exterminator came through the house about 10 a.m. and he saw the girls lying there, but didn't...

I was just about to post the same case! Thank you! :) The Patricia and Suzanne Williams case is very similar to this case. In both cases, the police believed that the women were murdered by someone they knew. The women were also found bound and strangled. Here is a picture of the man of...
