    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - # 6

    That's very true. But.... the area has been searched thoroughly. Not right away, but in the days and weeks and months following the crash. Cadaver dogs have been all over, yet they've found nothing. Could be she was intoxicated, and had a mild head injury (airbags had gone off) and she wandered...

    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - # 6

    I was looking forward to watching that show. But given that absolutely nothing new has come out about the case in years, I guess I shouldn't expect anything more than a summary of what I already know. It's a one-hour program aimed at a mass audience, not necessarily at those already following...

    Canadian Drowning Deaths Among Young Men

    There was a young 19 or 20-year-old male who fell off the Bishop Grandin Bridge into the Red River in Winnipeg in 2000 or 2001 and drowned. The Winnipeg Sun initially ran the headline that he was murdered, but it was soon confirmed an accidental drowning. It was a very high-profile case in...

    WA/Canada - Human feet washing ashore

    This story is on CBC tonight. Police have found five human feet (4 right feet and now a left one) since last August. So that's a minimum of four victims - possibly five, but all they've found are the feet. What the hell is going on there...

    IA IA - Johnny Gosch, 12, W Des Moines, 5 Sept 1982 - What happened? - #2

    No offer of DNA means he's lying. Simple as that. If he really were JG, a simple DNA test would prove it with 100% accuracy. The fact that he hasn't gone this route is all anyone should need to settle this in their own minds. When someone does not offer up a simple and obvious proof, that means...

    Identified! NV - Henderson, 'Arroyo Grande', WhtFem UP46, "S" tattoo, Oct'80*GRAPHIC* - Tammy Corrine Terrell

    That looks like a perfect match. I'm really bad at recognizing people, but that looks like the same person. My recognition was instant from one to the other, like there was no doubt.

    Canada - Candace Derksen, 13, abducted & murdered, Winnipeg, 13 Nov 1984

    SewingDeb, they had collected strands of hair from the the shed that did not belong to Candace. Exactly where those hairs were in the shed (on her body? in her hands?) and whether they found his DNA elsewhere on her or around her, the police aren't saying. They've actually had the entire shed...

    Canada - Candace Derksen, 13, abducted & murdered, Winnipeg, 13 Nov 1984

    In fairness to the police, back in 1984 in Winnipeg, abductions "just didn't happen". None of the police had even run across an abduction case before. They had zero experience with it. But of course they had all seen runaway teens, lots of them. Winnipeg is a city on the Canadian prairies of...

    Canada - Candace Derksen, 13, abducted & murdered, Winnipeg, 13 Nov 1984

    From the Globe & Mail: Read the complete article here: http://tinyurl.com/2ua747 I remember this case like it was yesterday. I grew up in Manitoba, and it was on the news every night from shortly after she went missing until 7 weeks later when they found her body. I was the same age as...

    Highway of Tears article w/crimemap

    Encouraging people to pick up hitch-hikers is the worst possible thing someone could do. The more "good hearted people" who pick up hitch-hikers, the more likely people are going to hitch-hike, and the more likely they are going to feel safe doing so. This will only increase the number of...

    NH NH - Missing young women in NH

    The article doesn't mention this first "Valley Killer" victim from 1978: The unknown slayer's first victim was likely Cathy Millican, 26, her body found on September 25, 1978, in a wetlands preserve near New London, New Hampshire. She had been stabbed to death. It was not until Schaefer...

    Unidentified Deceased Females, Oregon from that time period

    Has the victim from the second link not been attibuted to Gary Ridgeway? I believe he made two trips to the Portland area in order to drop off remains. Some remains were incomplete and accompanying body parts were found back in the Seattle area. Ridgeway later admited that he transported the old...

    AZ AZ - Pamela Frisby Page, 32, Peoria, 21 July 1989

    This sounds almost identical to the Lianna White case in Edmonton last year. In that case, the police managed to nail the husband within weeks. With the obvious interference by the husband in this case, I can't believe they haven't busted him by now. If it was so obvious that he was trying to...

    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - # 4

    This is my first time posting in here, but I've researched the Maura Murray disappearance quite a bit and read through this entire thread. One thing seems clear to me. She was definitely picked up at the scene. First, she disappeared in a matter of minutes (assuming the timelines are correct)...
