Anniversary of disappearance today.

I wonder if there was any usable DNA on her bodysuit they found. It was a swampy area so maybe that negates any evidence.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) released a Facebook post stating that Monday marks 40 years since Christy Luna went missing, and they are still searching.

It was reported that 8-year-old Christy Luna left her home in Greenacres to get cat food from a local convenience store just blocks away on May 27, 1984, but she never made it home.

They have created a documentary hoping that someone will come forward with information to help close the case and provide answers to her family.

PBSO still searching for missing girl 40 years later

Earlier this morning, I got to thinking about Christy, and the fact that she has been missing for 40 years, and I looked her up and found this video, which is on YouTube and Facebook. It looks like it may have been linked to already, but I'd like to call attention to the 13:05 mark in the video, where a name is mentioned that I never heard before today.

Detective William Springer of the West Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office mentioned a William Ferris at that mark in this video, and according to Det. Springer, Ferris worked for the city of West Palm Beach in 1984, then moved to Virginia about a year after Christy went missing. He became a suspect in 2010 after he was arrested in Virginia for child molestation. At the time, he denied knowing Christy when he was interviewed, but Ferris was interviewed again at some point, and this time he admitted that he did know Christy due to fact that his wife had babysat Christy's best friend. Det. Springer says that one day while he watched Christy and her friend playing together, Ferris had said that one day one of the girls was going to disappear, and sometime after Christy went missing, Ferris had remarked that she would never be found, that she was off Alligator Alley. Not being from the area, I don't know what area that refers to, but with her bodysuit being found in a swampy area, it seems plausible that Ferris may have referred to an area like that, and that her body could have been consumed by aligators. I have been convinced since just about the time I started following the case back in 2009 or 2010 that Victor Wonyetye was the culprit here, mainly because of an article that said he confessed to inmates in New Hampshire that he killed two eight-year-old girls in 1984, and the article referred to one of them as "Greenacres girl", which would have been Christy, but William Ferris's story and remarks have really got my attention. Det. Springer said the only problem with naming him the primary suspect is the fact that no one knows what route Christy took to get home, but he shows an area that would have taken Christy past Ferris's house if it was the route she took. Here is the link to the video, and again I call attention to the 13:05 mark, when William Ferris is mentioned.

The Deck Podcast just released an episode about Christy's disappearance.

Marjorie “Christy” Luna - 4 of Spades, Florida - The Deck

From the outside, Greenacres seemed like a picture-perfect place to grow up, with a park, school, and corner store stocked with sugary sweets and arcade games all within walking distance.

From the outside, Greenacres seemed like a picture-perfect place to grow up, with a park, school, and corner store stocked with sugary sweets and arcade games all within walking distance.

For Christy Luna and her friends, weekends were spent roaming the neighborhood and playing outside barefoot. But this storybook community had darkness lurking just under the surface, and it reared its ugly head one May night in 1984.

More than 40 years later, Christy’s friends are peeling back the layers and piecing together memories from their childhood, finding that what actually lay beneath was much darker than they ever could’ve imagined.

New lead released in this case:

Where is Christy Luna? New lead points to sex offender in 8-year-old's 1984 disappearance

Christy Luna vanished on May 27, 1984. A photo found on a cellphone has the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office pursuing a new lead in the case.

www.palmbeachpost.com

A recent tip has led investigators to identify a registered sex offender in Michigan as a person of interest, the Sheriff's Office said. In a video posted May 27 on the agency's social-media pages, the office identified the man as Jerry Grof, who is also known as Jerry Bailey.

3960 Lakewood Dr is the address where the remains were found. Trying to cross reference suspects with this address may be hard due to the age of the case.

I believe it's 3960 Lakewood Rd not Dr since there's not a drive on property appraiser site. Here's what info they have https://pbcpao.gov/Property/Details?parcelId=70434419200660012

I have been constantly checking back for any updates on this but none yet.
What I find interesting is that the address is actually Lake Worth per Google Maps and locals comments on FB posts.
One of the suspects, Victor Wonyetye lived in Lake Worth, worked there and was charged with being a "Peeping Tom" in Lake Worth.(Has/had family in the area as well)
He was in the area where Christy went missing that day for a party...

Christy Luna’s case has been cold for 39 years. Detectives are still hoping for new leads.

Her face was pictured on the side of milk cartons. A billboard years later. And as the decades have passed, her pictures and story have been spread on social media and in a documentary, all with the hopes that whoever knows what happened to Marjorie “Christy” Luna on May 27, 1984, would come...

Lake Worth and Palm Springs are adjacent to each other. With growth of this area, ZIP Codes have changed meaning places not incorporated into one of the cities can be put into a different city. Happened to me.
