Josephus, if your state policeman is really interested in this case it would be great to have someone that can crack the Eddy County Sheriff's Office stance on this case. It has now been over fifty years. Why they won't share what they have with family and friends of the victims is just not good...

Thank you! Warble and Rice aren't that common of names so they are likely related and that may help in locating them. I know there was a Buddy Rice that graduated in 1964 but I don't know if he is related or not. Finding Margaret could really really help us! Unfortunately the census records for...

Faraway girl, I'm sure I probably know you. One key that we have been trying to find is Margaret Warble. Margaret and Patty were best friends. There could have been other friends that were close to Patty also. There are questions that need to be answered that only someone close to Patty can...

Thank you Tom! In the original reports it also speaks about slides of swaps taken vaginally from Patty. Slides would be encased in glass to my knowledge and they should contain dna IF Patty was raped. We know that she was torchured. Perhaps it was not rape but a continuation of the torture. If...

Sunshine I believe the drive-in was on the Artesia Highway out by where the college is now. I'm not sure that the name was Arrowhead though. Maybe someone else will remember the name of it. I did speak to someone in the AG's office and she seemed interested and said she would get back to me but...

Tom, I live in Santa Fe and I do have a contact in the legal dept. at the legislature, I'll see if I can get some confirmation from him about a 1961 case. I hate to say that the cold case detective at the State Police was wrong but I just don't see how they could make the statute of limitations...

Hurricane, The law as it stands right now is found at www.supremecourtlawlibrary.org It is under statute chapters 30-1-8. I don't know exactly where I found that it was enacted in 1963. I'll have to go back and look. I have read so much on it. I did read that where dna is found and then a match...

I couldn't believe the statute of limitations either but it seems that the law wasn't changed until 1963 regarding statute on murder, rape etc. The only exception was if the perp fled the state to avoid prosecution. The 1963 law did not apply to crimes prior to that date as far as I can tell. I...

Also, why would a case still be open if the statute of limitations has run out??? Who decides to open or close a case??? Wouldn't the DA's decide that?

Thanks Hurricane! That is exactly what I thought. It would seem to me that the FBI files would mirror the ECSO files but then again they don't play by the same rules in Carlsbad as the rest of the country. I have also been trying to verify the quote by Paul Harvey "If you want to get by with...

Does anyone know or know someone that might know about the Freedom of Information Act? I have read the act and am trying to find out if it is possible to gain the information from the ECSO or FBI files using this act. From what I have read it looks possible but I don't know enough about the use...

Legacy, I don't remember anything about David Blair although his picture looks familiar. A lot of the guys hung out at that gas station. It would have been about five blocks from the Howard home where Linda Roberts lived. They would definitely have had to walk by there on their way to and from...

You are amazing Legacy, I posted that and never made that connection. I believe that there was a Cliff Howard that owned several gas stations. One was the station on the corner of Church and Canal where all the guys used to hang out. He could definitely be related to this Rex Howard since it was...

I would like to add if anyone that was friends with Patty during this time, if you would contact Anne. It might help clear up some of the questions that have risen about the diary. Linda Roberts mother's last name was Howard and she lived in the house on church street and may still be there if...

Hello Sleuthers, Pecos I do have a background in law and I'm afraid I might occasionally be more blunt than you but I don't think you upset anyone. The truth is I don't care what you found at the sight today it would never be admitted into any court of law because it could never be proven where...
