Are you a San Diego local? Awhile back I watched an old Ken Kramer "About San Diego", that talked about those caves and I think they are under/around modern day Alvarado Estates. I never saw anything about Nicholas approaching a blue car, or anything about Adobe Falls...did you find some...

I seem to remember reading that Northcott recanted, (he had originally confessed to killing Nicholas) and so the case remained unsolved. I am responding from memory, but I thought it wasn't even an actual confession to killing specifically Nicholas, but just some "mexican boy" somewhere south of...

This looks like it could be her getting in the car with her brother...she was also wearing a hoodie when she was escorted back from Mexico and she is of a stocky build.. Kerin

http://www.graphicice.com/index.php/action/prodspec/itemID/55760388 These are remarkably similar, in my opinion. I think those goggles are children's goggles/sunglasses. That was what I based my search on, anyway. The little cut-outs on the sides, while there are more in the pair above...

I have been reading this thread today and had a few thoughts. First, I agree with the notion that she was most likely foreign. So many years have passed and so many people have been affected by her story (and searched) and we can't put a name to her. Plus the bad teeth could also indicate...

I didn't know that. I saw someone talking about cold case files on another website. It was in a different state but they were saying you have to fill out a form. I just wasn't sure if it was possible here, too. Well, I would definately be interested in that, then. On the San Diego PD website...

Probably not, I wonder if they are still around who could look at them. I finally found Virginia's family in 1930, they were living in Portland,OR. They had moved to San Diego within a year. It makes it even sadder to me somehow. It looks like the family returned to Oregon soon after.

It would take a good 1 hr 40m to 2 hours from Kearny Mesa. The area of Northcott's farm was called Wineville, which was renamed (in part because of all the negative publicity due to the murders) to Mira Loma. It's just south of Rancho Cucamonga, near Fontana. It's really a stretch (in my...

It looks like the Historical Society has the court records, and criminal records for the time. I might try to get down there maybe next week. This conversation has renewed my interest, and I found a few interesting things. Let me know what you think: Camp Kearny mesa was used as a dump...

I've tried to figure out who he was, but as far as I can tell he was never publicly named. The papers all report he was the son of a wealthy man..maybe he was wealthy enough to keep his name out of the papers. What was reported at the time was that he was apparently 18, had a record and was on...

At the time that Virginia's body was discovered, Camp Kearny was not in use. There weren't many buildings, mostly tents. It was closed in 1920, and later Charles Lindbergh used the abandoned Camp Kearny parade field to practice landings and take-offs before making his historic solo flight...

I have been looking into these murders for a little while..I'm a native San Diegan, and I had never heard of them until a few months ago. From what I can tell (studying newspapers and trying to separate fact from fiction) Virginia Brooks most likely was not dismembered. 2 men, described as...
