MI - Nadine O'Dell, 15, Inkster, 16 Aug 1974

[Sillybilly]

It was 930 in the Morning and it’s not even 5 miles and I walked it myself in under 40 mins many time, it was a Sunny Day that Friday morning….

I'm sorry Frank, I missed that it was in the morning. That makes it even more strange in broad daylight.

Looking at the Carl Watts possibility “Sunday Morning Slasher."
-The morning fits his MO

Some excerpts from a few articles:

As far as the authorities could figure out, all of his victims died only because they were alone when their killer happened to see them.

Watts, he was able to kill repeatedly and to elude the police not because he planned the killings carefully, but because he killed at random out of a spontaneous rage against women. 'He Was Totally Random'

SUSPECT IN TEXAS SLAYINGS WAS UNDER POLICE SURVEILLANCE IN 2 STATES (Published 1982)

Watts killed at random. There were no patterns, no motives, no eyewitnesses, and no evidence.

"If we had the goods on Coral Eugene Watts, we wouldn't be talking today. That's how good this guy was," says Kahan.

How did he operate? "He'd get in that car of his, and he'd drive around," says Ladd. "Sometimes, he'd drive all night long. And then he'd see a female, and whatever it was about that female, which we still to this day don't know, why he picked one girl, and passed up 20 others."

Once he picked his victim, Watts killed quickly. None of the victims were sexually assaulted. Most were killed just steps from their front doors.

A Deal With The Devil?

You Know,Some think it might have Been Carl Watts, but he was at western mi university at the time period that she went missing,(would love to know the street he lived on)

<rsbm>

Nadine disappeared in August and I think we need to know what courses Watts was enrolled in, whether summer classes were offered back then and whether he attended summer classes, and what the academic calendar was for WMU that year. For example, 2020 Fall classes don't start until September 2.

It was a Family Member

Sorry if it’s been asked but it’s been a while since I’ve read though the entire thread but when was the last time you spoke to investigators? Just wondering if theirs been anyone looking into this at all.

 

[Frank57]

Last time I spoke to them was in 1975, I was told by one of her twin sisters is that the police were told by there grandmother that Nadine was home,

So Grandma basically told police to stop looking? Crazy
