Daphne, I can't tell from your photo- how many have been identified, and how many remain to be identified? If I haven't mentioned, this case is very personal to me. I am positive that I was approached by William Richard Bradford in the Spring of 1977 parked on San Jose St. in Granada Hills, CA in front of Patrick Henry Jr. High as I was walking home from high school and asked to model for him- after he asked me where he could get his film developed locally. I did share this information with the LAPD.

The pics that don't show up are the identified people

It is so hard for me to see the images. I thought maybe Johanna Catherine Brighton missing from LA in 1981 could fit a few of the images, based on what I’m actually able to see. I believe one of the images is still showing on those who are left?

Johanna Catherine Brighton

There are better pics. You just have tp check whether that person has been identified using the link I posted.

I came across an article that mentioned Gail Marie Dahl aka Gail Gardner. There are many other victims tied to this man, Joe Naso.

How Serial Killer Joseph Naso's House Looked Like "Something Out of Silence of the Lambs” | Oxygen

There's a 3 part documentary on the victims of Joe Naso and Gail is mentioned at the end of episode 1 and during episode 2. Unfortunately, the clues found tying Joe Naso to Gail were inconclusive but the detective, Ken Mains, said he will still investigate her disappearance.

You posted this in the wrong thread this one is about William Bradford.

Take a good look at this picture. First one is the original. Notice anything about the hands? If you turn a photo of a face upside down, no bizarre things should pop up.l (this applies of course to all body parts) The second one is enhanced.

I don't know what's going on, but I think this was an exercise of sorts to produce a convincing image but actually made from bits and pieces and probably wax too. I don't think this is an actual head at all nor parts of one.

A big give away is black and white and very little contrast. Something akin is going on with some of Alcala's pictures. It means you need to pay attention to verify that you're actually seeing what you think you are.

Photo 45 is imo something similar. But I'll come back to that.

Even this way better picture shows tons of anomalies. From the now defunct murdersquad site. Unaltered by me.

I made a screenshot from a 48 hours documentary. The strange light effects are as far as I know not original but because of how the documentary treated them (they're presented in very rapid cascade consisting of many of Bradford's photos).

Turn the photo upside down. It's all fake, the faces are cut out from other pictures and the rest is plastic and wood. As to the freight train, imo that's a poster.

I don't know why he made these fabrications. Could be any number of reasons.

First photo is the original screenshot, the second photo has been altered by me.

I'm afraid I don't see what you're seeing. Even upside down the picture shows an image of a young female probably in late teens to early twenties holding her hands up to mimic the look of someone resting their elbows on a table or some such thing. But... the picture is taken outside in bright sunlight where there is no table for the woman to rest her elbows so the pose she's making seems unnatural because normally if someone was really resting their head on their knuckles it would alter the cheeks much more and the hands would be at a different angle. However, even an image shown from the waist up, in a professional photo the photographer would probably be asking the subject not to place the weight of their head in their hands because it would push the skin or the cheeks up too much. Just to fake the position by maybe making the jawlines more heart-shaped than square since heart-shaped are considered more appealing and youthful. Like this one.

Even in this image the pose is completely fake, the subject isn't even touching her face. It's a popular image that appears over and over again, because it evokes the feeling of a younger person thinking about something. Entranced, as if someone is telling a story that demands complete attention.

All I'm seeing is an overexposed image of a woman trying to hold a pose from the instructions of the photographer. I'm more intrigued with the image of the two young women in bikinis standing in front of a freight train box car. You'd think the subject and the background don't belong together only because your brain conjures up bikinis = beaches or pool area NOT two scantily clad women wearing bikinis by a railroad track where the train is stopped. I can't arbitrarily say the image is cobbled together as fake because the composition is paradoxical. I'd appreciate you explaining why the images you have chosen are anomalous. Thanks.

It's as I said simple, turn a picture around full circle. It should still be clearly a person.
Furthermore, he also adds stuff to actual females like things in their hair.

First is a screenshot from 48 hours. Second one has been enhanced by me. That's not her bust. It's also not a garden but inside. Look at what's hiding in het hair.

The frustrating thing is that no one has written a book about Bradford. I'm for now not interested in the Alina Thompson story as she encountered him only once at an amateur photography "festival". This was an occurrence during late 70s and early 80s. Amateur photographers photographed guests. As far as I know only females who wanted either nice pictures for cheap or aspiring models. These events are now hard to imagine; a hot bed for predators. Many girls were minors, some not with their parents. Alina was and her father intervened when Bradford tried to get her somewhere secluded.

I'm now, if the pictures allow it, going through them with a fine tooth comb.

I don't see what you see. I believe the image shown from 48 Hours is an image of a young girl standing outside close to a brick building that could be a home. She's standing at the corner of the building because you can see the change in the angle of the running brick pattern. It looks like an area where a small outbuilding is attached to the home kind of like a summer kitchen hence, the lighter part of the image on the left.

Wherever it is, remains to be seen, but that specific corner of the house is used to store things related to gardening, like empty plastic plant pots, a watering can, a trellis used to train climbing plants hanging on the wall. There's also a snake plant in the left hand corner.

The girl herself, looks to be anywhere from 15 to 18 years old, but I'd say she's in the lower age bracket. She's wearing her hair in the typical fashion of the era, parted in the middle and left to behave naturally. She looks like she's wearing no makeup and is holding the watering can as if she was just interrupted from watering the snake plant. She may be wearing a bra under that sleeveless, V-necked top but if she isn't she has a fairly large bust, either way. I don't see anything hiding in her hair; I see the sun creating shadow lines in her waves. As for her bust, if it's not a bust, please tell me what you think it is. I am very skeptical of your claim, at the moment.
