Dickie has two younger sisters, both of whom have stated in interviews their remembrances and hopes for resolution.

This case is an example of how various websites assign the date of "1 January" when only the year a person went missing is known.

The missing shotgun is a key piece of the puzzle. If the make, model, description and possible serial number were known, it might provide an important clue regarding Dickie's disappearance. According to news reports it was a 12-gauge shotgun which Dickie had borrowed from a neighbor Roger...

The bicycle probably had a kickstand which would have allowed the bike to have been parked upright. The fact that it was laying down at the side of a road would indicate a hurried departure from the bike or a hasty dumping of it where found. No collision damage can be determined from the...

...What I'd like to know: Any military records for Robert... Robert's military records would be maintained on file at the National Military Personnel Records Center (NMPRC) at Saint Louis, Missouri. They have a website and forms for requesting records. Usually only the service person can...

At the time of Mary Louise Dragoo's disappearance, Alaska was not yet a state. Statehood came in 1959. The resultant US flag which showed 49 stars (7 staggered rows of 7 stars each) was only in service for one year and replaced by the current 50-star flag when Hawaii became a state. The 49...

I don't have any knowledge of what other murders this serial killer might be considered of bt law enforcement. But he should be looked at for any and all unsolved cases in the years before he was arrested. The two cases mentioned (Rost and Nichols) may very well be the work of Miller.

It appears to be a girls bike with a good size handle bar mounted basket. There does appear to be some sort of light assembly mounted to the basket. A more high resolution print of the photo might yield more info. Certainly worth asking the paper if they have it in their files. It would be an...

No, I have not seen any photos of the bicycle or newspaper articles containing pictures of it. I have wondered if the bike might have been damaged from a collision, or if there might have been something wrong with it - like a flat tire or slipped chain which might have caused Dickie to leave it.

I know that David's case has been compared with at least 3 John Doe cases without a match. Does anyone have a list of "rule outs"? At one time, his mother and sister offered to donate DNA samples, but do not know if the Air Force investigators took them up on it. David has remained on the Air...
