Brenda Jones was strangled to death. I don't think she had head trauma.

Brenda Jones was strangled to death. I don't think she had head trauma. Also, Maria Johnson & Debbie Ackerman were seen getting into a white van, not a green truck. It also wasn't on Seawall Blvd., but on 4th street. Their friend who was working in the Basken & Robbins was the witness who saw them getting in the white van. Later on, Ed Bell admitted picking them up. He claims they wanted to go to a motel for sex because they were tired of sex with boys their own age- yeah, right?! I have no doubt he abducted them, raped & then took them to that creepy bridge and shot them!!!

So far this is the first one that I read involved a 38 and not a 22 as in so man y of the cases where the victim/s were shot.
I am not a ballistic expert by any means.
But I wonder if any fragments removed during autopsy from a 22 they would be able to compare and see if possible they are related to each other in some way.

Murder never solved. These guys had told more than one of their victims they killed my aunt.
Braden who was given a life sentence was released and currently living in an area with lots of women.
O'Hern was released but sent back to prison and is currently there waiting for his next parole hearing. Here is a copy of the news article where they say they are convinced O'Hern is who killed my aunt but have no evidence to back it up. Also here is a photo of my aunt.
