Identified! Mystery couple murdered in South Carolina, 1976 - Pamela Buckley & James P Freund #8

[information junkie]

so if they were hitchhiking-what happened to the motorcycle? Someone somewhere lied.

so glad they have been identified. I am interested to know how they met each other.

The perp etc still needs to be found. I mean without a doubt identified.

I'm interested in the story of the tobacco stand guy, who heard the shots and saw the car making a u turn. If true.

Probably someone's said this already, but Pennsylvania Dutch is a corruption of Pennsylvania Deutsch--i.e., German.

Since the family had military ties, I wonder whether he may have been visiting someone he knew posted at Fort Jackson (yes, I know he did his basic training at Ft. Knox), which would be pretty close to Sumter. Just spitballing here.

 

[Canaille]

What a wild ride this has been! I wonder if the "witness" made up the story about them being from Canada.

I couldn't hear too well... did the Sheriff say something about looking into suspects?

They are looking for Pamela Buckley and James Freud. I am dying!!

May Pamela and James’s killer be brought to justice.

Now that their identities are known, their families will eventually find closure.

Rest Peacefully, Pamela and James.

I see confusing

Carl's awesome.

Yes, he is. As a person and as a reconstruction artist.

Interesting that James Freund’s prints did not show up, even though he was in thecArmy.

No national database!

I think this is also James. It is from the same high school in Lancaster as the other Ancestry pics.

Yesterday after being on WS and hearing the name Pamela Buckley, I went on Reddit and posted her name as possibly Jane.. I was immediately called into chat (which I never use) and a lady very kindly ask if I would remove her name, she was family and it hadn't been released. I felt terrible! Of course I removed it and offered to come on here and get a mod to remove it here..but she said that was ok..so many people already knew at that point. Rest in Peace Pamela and James, you deserved so much better.

Did the Sheriff say how LE found out the couple met while hitchhiking? Or what was Jane Doe and Jock Doe connection about?
Sorry, if it's been already answered. I'm still catching up.

MOO JMO

Military finger prints were not nationalized in a system til after 9/11. They never went backwards and added years past people.

No worries. We didn't know the family members had been informed in September.h

Maybe, but the witness was someone, if I recall correctly, who said that James had stayed at a KOA type place where he worked and played pool with him, from Canada, father a doctor, et cetera, but there's no reason to believe that he had anything to do with the murder. He could have gotten him confused with another visitor, or James may have developed a cover story for reasons of his own.

The sheriff declined to discuss how Pamela and James met each other, or whether they were hitchhiking or had a vehicle.

It sounds like if James dad was Adam then James would have been Catholic
