Joyce Malecki. (As many of us did, I first heard of her in "The Keepers".) 2 years ago she was exhumed, and it was speculated in news articles that this step was motivated by the recent ID of one of the suspects in the Pamela Conyers case, as they were last seen at the same mall. Reading that freaked me out. Why? The guy ID'd was my grandmother's 2nd cousin.

Since then I've done my own research and come to the conclusion that, while it's still possible that he could've been involved in that murder also, he's no more likely than anybody else. For one thing, the reporters were wrong, it wasn't the same mall. And Malecki had almost reached her destination, which was 10 miles away.

Sister Cathy should be on here, too! For herself, but for all those still Keeping On to get answers, even if justice is long beyond achieving.

Hey Websleuths members
You must have a case on Websleuths that you think about all the time. The one case that you really need to know how it ends. What case would you like to see people dive deep into and hopefully help solve?
Maybe there was a case that drove you nuts on Websleuths, and it was solved.
We would like to know about these cases.
Please post the case and explain why it has grabbed your attention.
If possible, please post the link to the discussion of that case on Websleuths.
Mine is the JonBenet Ramsey case. It is so maddening because of the lies (allegedly) that the Ramseys have been telling, which seems to have changed the narrative from the truth to a case that is not related to reality anymore. In my opinion. The Netflix documentary on the JBR case was a disgrace. I would love to see a group of people/professionals/sleuthers/production company/ pool their resources and once and for all solve this case and stop the (alleged) lies from being told. CLICK HERE for the Ramsey forum
What case is the one case you want to see solved, or that was finally solved?
Let us know.

The WVU Coed Murders

On January 18, 1970, two West Virginia University freshmen students—Mared Malarik and Karen Ferrell—left a screening of Oliver! at the Metropolitan Theater in downtown Morgantown. Looking to hitch a ride back to the dorms, they entered a cream-colored sedan. This was the last time they would be seen alive. In April, their decapitated and decomposing bodies were found in makeshift graves in a wooded area 10 miles south of Morgantown.
Their heads have never been recovered and the case is still unsolved.

This award-winning podcast tells the true story of two West Virginia University coeds who were beheaded in 1970 & whose murders remain unresolved.

I hope Maura Murray's remains are found in my lifetime. I feel the same way about Jennifer Dulos, and find it reprehensible that Fotis killed himself without admitting his obvious guilt or revealing where he put her body.

That just made me think of the Alcasser Girls. That case in Spain just shot to the top of my list.

Check his thread. There is a recent update in his case.



I just read through her thread. It is a very tragic case, buy I think it sounds like the answers are likely in her autopsy and toxicology reports. But what do you think?

I don't, sadly. There is too much missing information. I feel like it wasn't really investigated. Pills and no bottle for the pills? No designation of what kind of pills? Mass in her stomach? A purse and phone that just wandered off from the area where rappelling was needed to get to her? Location makes no sense. But that is for over on the thread. I just wanted to specify that I don't think it is solved in the least.

 

[pillywiggin]

I might have replied to this thread already, but I can't remember. There are several cases I would like solutions to. First, is the Johnny Gosch disappearance. It is one of the first cases I ever followed, and I think if it were solved, other cases would also be resolved. The disappearances of Andrew Gosden and Jason Jolkowski are others. More recent cases that have allegedly reached resolutions that I am not certain about include the deaths of Thomas Brown and Michael Chambers. I would like enough evidence to be certain about the outcomes of those two cases in particular. I would like to know what really happened to the Jamison family in Oklahoma. There are just so many cases I follow, and most of them involve missing people. I think about different ones every day. That is one reason I like Websleuths. I know updates will show up here, even if they never find their way beyond local media outlets. I am excited that Othram is able to bring so many of these old cases to some sort of resolution.

Wouldn't disagree. I think a lot of people who watched the doc are convinced Maskell did it (Koob is also gaining traction lately). It's certainly plausible that the clergy was behind it - if Maskell was a pedo. I haven't seen enough evidence of either to convince me beyond a reasonable doubt. Even if he were a pedo, the case would still be weak, based on what's known. The fact that Maskell's DNA wasn't a match really hurts the case. (I forget, did they find DNA that wasn't his, of did they simply not find any DNA?)

I never bought the theory that the clergy killed BOTH Cathy and Joyce. Other than the timing, there really wasn't anything the two cases had in common.

The fact that it's been almost 2 years with no update about Joyce's exhumation makes me think that they found DNA of someone previously unknown, and had to start the genealogy process from the beginning.

Yes, yes, yes. Please get this resolved. Suc respect for Jodi is so necessary.

[Arkay]

Remembering all these victims is truly illuminating. There is such evil in the world.

Some of us knew victims. Some of us are invested in particular cases and others are fervent about different cases.

Some I sadly have forgotten, and some I can never forget.

There’s a lot of pain here, but it’s all because we care so much about these tragedies, and in many instances there’s been no closure.

Hugs and support to everyone, and may we see the resolution of many cases as technology brings new methodology, or perhaps some long-hidden confessions will bubble up someday.

Definitely the case of sweet little Kyron Horman. There were so many arrows pointing in one direction...but no arrest was ever made!

The 15-year anniversary of Kyron Horman's disappearance recently brought this case to my attention, and it's just heart-breaking. I truly hope that one day Kyron can be brought home and his family can finally have some peace.

It's stunning to think that after 15 years, law enforcement hasn't officially named a single suspect. From a logical standpoint, it seems to boil down to a few key possibilities for why the case is stalled:

1. The "No Crime" Theory: Kyron simply wandered off and was lost to the elements. This feels unlikely. The search for Kyron was one of the largest in...
