I especially like the bit where it says child molesters used to be called "sex morons"!

 

[Ziba82]

"Today's Best Detective Story" seems a little insensitive of a headline for such a delicate case. I guess times were different back then.

Nevertheless, oh yes, it definitely seems like a serial killer going after those girls. Horrible, heartbreaking read

Bumping for Emily, as it's now been 100 years since she disappeared.

Bumping this thread up. Emily's disappearance has never been solved officially. However, police investigators back in 1919 felt her case was related to the disappearance of Freda Hornberger, also age 9 and a friend of Emily's.

Several possible suspects and other possibly connected crimes were named at the time.

Bumping this thread up.

Even if she was alive, she would have long since passed. I wish they would still investigate these cases to rightly connect them and give justice to the deceased. I know she is no longer with us, but it's a matter of respect and giving her the dignity she deserved.

I do understand there are budgetary concerns and focus on more important things within police departments, I just wish there was an agency that focused on these types of old old old cold cases.
