Swimsuit Boy is the only full set of remains that have not been identified. But, victim # 27 was recovered containing one or two extra bones not belonging to him. Did these bones come from another unidentified victim? Or did the extra bones come from a known victim which got accidentally mixed...

David Hilligiest and Malley Winkle were on their way to the Bohemian lodge pool when they were abducted. I too had wondered if this boy had been abducted from this same pool. It would not surprise me. David and Wayne had hung out at this pool before trying to get other boys to go to...

Thanks. What interests me about this is how she got a hold of this statement since it wasn't part of the case files I got from the Pasadena & Houston PDs. But, I know she has a few connections in law enforcement circles. Does she talk about the remains of Mark Scott? I conversed with Barbara...

I have not read this book. Does it say specifically where this statement from Billy came from? I know Billy was called to testify before a grand jury. But, grand jury testimony is normally sealed for life. I know the case files I have from the HPD and PPD do not include any statement...

Oh, I would bet money that there are more victims. I came up with a list of about 10 -13 more through various readings on this case. Yes, there are some suspicious gaps. In 1973 there was witnesses who described seeing men matching the trio's description burying wrapped objects on Galveston...

Thanks for the update. I hadn't read anything new on this case in years.

Hello teeandcee, I read the Man With the Candy years ago. My thought on Dean's increased distraction and drinking may have been due to the fact he realized he could not control his compulsion to kill. If you look at the list of his victims you can see that the number and frequency of killings...

Interesting. I read about Bob Jackson years ago. I remember after Bob met with law enforcement to discuss his claims they persuaded him to commit himself to a mental health institute as they didn't feel he was stable.

Interesting.

Did you just file a FOI request with the AG's office for everything they had on Randy Kraft? I tried once before but got nowhere.

This is a first for me too seeing Randy having a gun in his possession. But, he was in the Air Force for a while. Could it be from that? The only victim with the same letter initials is Edward Daniel Moore but the order is mixed up. Could EMD be a brand name instead of someone's initials?

Interesting document. Who did you file this request with? I wonder what other documents are available.

Could you share what year this person was discovered?

My brother told me about this new victim id as he lives in the Cedar Rapids, IA area and it was front page news there (he knows I've spent a lot of time reading up on Kraft). I found myself wondering the same thing if Oral Stuart couldn't be either Marine Down or Van Driveway. Oral's body was...

True...One investigator called him "soulless" which is accurate. His victims were mere objects there for his pleasure who would then be discarded like trash along the road once he was done with them. And I'm sure dumping the bodies out in the open was his way of taunting law enforcement...
