Jodi Huisentruit went missing and has been presumed dead. I have always wondered about this case. I have always had a nagging feeling that she's been held captive all this time. No proof though. But a stalker would probably love to keep his victim alive if he could carry out his fantasies...

Jeannie Hernandez is missing from very close by. I wish there was an estimate of how long they thought the skull had been there.
