in many of these cases i am saddened to think we will only find out what happened until all is revealed at the end of time....

what are your thoughts?

I'd be suprised to see the Amy Billig case solved. The case is pretty old and whoever took her is probably getting up there in age. I havent given up hope, just think it will only be solved many years from now when someone "finds" proof or spills the beans long after justice on here on earth can be done...

The Billig case is basically solved or at least according to Susan Billig she is not persuing any new leads. The possibility of Amy still being alive are slim to none and you have a confession from someone involved in her disappearance as well (this person passed away a few years ago) and although it's possible he was lying there are some validity to his statements.

The two cases I'd like to see solved are "Jennifer Pratt" (because it seems so damn solveable - In fact I would not be surprised if this wasn't already solved and we just weren't updated - Remember Sheila Kimmel had to get in contact with UM to update Lisa's case - there might be quite a number of cases like that) and "Nyleen Kay Marshall" which is still obviously unsolved.

Later.

The Lost Dutchman's Mine. The Found Dutchman's Mine just doesn't have the same ring.

Plus if it's me I ain't tellin'.

Don't forget the case about the two sociopathic grandparents who kidnapped their two grandchildren. I would be shocked if that case was solved. The kids are adults by now and I'm surprised they haven't looked for their parents. I was also astounded when Randolph Dial was captured and Bobbie Parker was returned to her family.

The case of the Baskin children who were abducted by their nutso grandparents Marvin and Sandra Maple is very solveable now that the children are in their early-mid 20s. The problem is there have not been any "reported" sightings of them since 1989 I believe. Both Robbie and Katherine Baskin would obviously look very different now then they did over ten years ago when they were last sighted. The problem could lie in this fact.

Later.

I would be shocked to see the case solved about a woman who was pregnant and I think either raped or taken at knife/gun point. She had stopped for what robert stack called a "soft drink." I remember the segment because they had covered up the pepsi logo on the soda machine. The man followed the woman and she saw him stop in front of her house. I think he stabbed her, but she didn't lose her baby. It was really scary and probably included a scary composite.

That case and that I-70 freeway serial killer.

How about the Las Cruces New Mexico Bowling Alley Massacre??!!!???!!!???!!

I want that case solved so bad, primarily to see why these thieves felt the need to callously execute innocent children when it obviously wasn't necessary for them to make their escape. Such unnecessary brutality is really troubling to the soul.

And Richard Bockledge. I mention him frequently on this board. I would like to see him caught and I am somewhat surprised he hasn't been due to his distinctive appearance.

I'd be shocked if he's alive that William Bradford Bishop is caught.

Those are some of the saddest, where people are inexplicably killed for no reason but a trigger happy idiot. They haven't seen your face, why shoot?? Like the Dan Short case (glad that was solved). Not only why kill him, why so sadistically?

I think the bowling alley one was where they were huddled in a room and all shot while on the ground?? One survived maybe? Havent seen it in awhile.

Yeah, I'd love to see the Billig case have some closure most of all.

what about the dozzier case, where all those women were missing in the boat scam? did they ever find the women?

[QUOTE=McFly121.Yeah, I'd love to see the Billig case have some closure most of all.[/QUOTE]

There is a book on it "Without A Trace" - there is some closure to this case or at least a very good hypothesis about what happened to Amy and when she died and how and who was involved.

I have trouble believing either Bocklidge or Bishop will be found. I think Bishop knows too much about where to hide out internationally to be caught very easily. As for Richard Bocklidge yes I think this case is solveable but for some reason I also think he is no longer in North America and probably fled the continent. I don't know I just have a gut feeling on that one.

As for Bob Dozier and John Russell its amazing that when they were captured they were not charged with at least trafficing drugs let along the mysterious disappearances of Kristen Tomlin or Dozier's wife. I think they both got very short sentences and are probably already out of jail by now - It seems that they committed the so called "perfect crime" here.

One case I'd like to add to the list is Clifford Sherwood - Is he still alive? - Did his dad (under the alias Edward Thorne) successfully create a new identity for him? - What about Clifford's friend who disappeared on the same day as he did - Were his remains ever found? - Were both boys abducted/murdered?

One other one that was on yesterday is the case of Russell Evans? - What exactly happened there? - The case for a hit and run accident doesn't hold much water in my book? - Who is Brian and why didn't he share anything with police regarding the knowledge of Russ's death? - Why didn't the police seem to care about all the evidence that pointed away from a "hit and run" and towards an altercation that lead to Russ's death?

Later.

The Amy Bradley case
The Rachel Cooke case-girl who went missing while jogging in her neighborhood
The Kristin Smart case

Why didn't the police seem to care about all the evidence that pointed away from a "hit and run" and towards an altercation that lead to Russ's death?[/QUOTE]

Maybe they have tunnel vision?

:( Aww, it really saddens me to hear the Baskin grandchildren (who were kindapped by their grandparents, that Maples) being mentioned in this thread. This case has stood out the most of any segment I have ever watched on Unsolved Mysteries. And some of you may already know that I wrote a letter to Mark and Debbie Baskin to let them know that they are in my prayers and I hope they will be reunited with Kristi and Bobby soon. This case REALLY does seem solvable but I think the reason the children haven't been found yet is because the Maples have most likely filled their heads with so many awful lies about their parents that they don't feel the need to ever look for them. Or they might have lied and told them that their parents have died. That's what drives me crazy the most, Kristi and Bobby are most likely living their lives not knowing that their grandparents are the villians here. :(


Some other cases that I'm losing hope on being solved -

1. William Bradford Bishop - He murdered his entire family in 1976 and STILL has not been captured. He must be in his late 60's or early 70's by now. It makes me sick that even if they somehow catch him, he'll die of old age not long after being thrown in jail where he belongs. He obviously has some psychological problems - losing a premotion at work shouldn't force you to stoop this low. And even if his wife and mother constantly told him he was underachieving in life, as mentioned in the segment, I'm surprised it would force him to snap like that.

2. Nyleen Kay Marshall - I hold out hope that she is still alive but this case is going to need some sort of miracle if it is to ever be solved. It's possible her abductor has raised her as his own all of these years but if any of you read parts of the letter that was flashed on the screen, you must have been disturbed by some of the comments that were written. I don't know what to make of it. If Nyleen is alive today, sadly, she probably has no memory of her parents and family and thinks her abductor is really her father. Hard to believe that today she would be 26 years old. Such a sad case.

3. Woman's face shredded by boat - Still no word on the idiot driver of that boat that almost killed those 3 women on the lake and destroyed the face of one of them. We can only hope that the boat driver (and his companion) can talk some day, but if they haven't talked in the last 10 years, who is to say that he'll talk any time soon. I doubt the driver ever returned to that lake and if he was on vacation at the time of the accident and actually lived far away - no way will he return. I guess it's better to be a coward and hide then to apologize to the person's life you almost ended. Leave the 3 women there to die in an accident you caused - there are simply no words to describe how awful this person is. :mad:

I have seen a show on either 48 Hours Mystery or Primetime Live about Amy Billig.

According to Amy's mother, she was contacted by a woman who told her she knew what happened to Amy. She apparently was told what happened by her husband as he was on his deathbed. She had no reason to disbelieve him.
Apparently Amy, after having a couple of drinks with her friends (who later left without Amy), got in an argument with another guest at the party, a man. She either belittled him or humiliated him somehow, and he hauled off and hit her. And kept hitting her. The few remaining guests at the party knew him and his reputation and no one dared to interfere and try to save Amy.

He and a couple of his buddies, took Amy outside, killed and dismembered her body and threw her in the swampy area outside where the alligators were.

The woman stated that many people had suspected what had happened to Amy but that because of the man's reputation, no one dared to cross him. He was known to have told more than person, "you not careful, you'll end up like Amy".

I believe that after Amy's mother heard the story, she stopped searching. She did not initially believe the story, but after much contemplation, decided that it probably was accurate.

bumping this to those who are interested

I would be shocked to see the case solved of the man who was found dead in a church pew. He was dressed in western wear, had blonde or gray hair? I can't recall the details too well, just that the segment was very tragic and absorbing. It was also wonderful how the church took him in and gave him a nice funeral, no comments or judgments; they offered the church as his spiritual home. As I remember, he had taken pills to kill himself. If they have solved this, I would love to know.

I did some searching around on the doe network site in the unidentified category (very gross images - even the clay head people in this section are spooky). There was one that matched but the image had been pulled. I smell gov't due to the cyanide capsule (but I always smell a conspiracy).

I don't remember her name at this very moment but it's the case of the little girl who's dad was Bon Jovi's manager....she was found laying in the road going the opposite way from her house. I always found that case so interesting and sad.

The Franklin Delano Floyd mystery - who Sharon Marshall REALLY was and the fate of her son.

The missing sailors of the Sarah Joe.

Some cases I would like to see solved.....

William Bradford Bishop-guy who disappeared after he murdered his own family in 1976. Allegations that he is living overseas, possibly in Italy or Sweden.

D.B. Cooper-skyjacker who in 1971 hijacked a plane in Pacific Northwest. Some of the money and a plastic placard was found but no trace of the hijacker. I wonder if D.B. Cooper is still alive.

The Zodiac Killings-series of unsolved killings in San Fran Bay Area. It would be a miracle if this case was ever solved. And, I DON'T think him and the Unabomber are the same.

Megan Romero Curl-Mentally challenged woman who was tied to her bed and burned in a fire. It would be nice for the family's sake to have this case resolved.

Who Killed Superman-A mystery spanning back over four decades. Actor Christopher Reeves was found dead. Three theories about his death have been presented. It would be nice to know the truth.

Sonny Listen-boxer who was found dead due to a drug overdose. I belive he was drugged and/or murdered. Any other thoughts.??

Those are my thoughts.

this one may have been solved (haven't watched UM for a while now). a young woman (cindy) was getting weird phone calls at work, and someone spray-painted "i love you cindy" over and over on the wall across from her job. for some reason this one always weirded me out.

Definitely, I remember that one.

I agree with much of what has been listed, especially Amy Billig, Gorgon Page, Judy Himes, William Bradford Bishop, and Little Miss Panasoffkee.

Another I'd be shocked to see solved would be the case of Alexander Soul Olive, the young boy who was kidnapped by his abusive polygamous father.

Some cases I would like to see solved.....

William Bradford Bishop-guy who disappeared after he murdered his own family in 1976. Allegations that he is living overseas, possibly in Italy or Sweden.

I don't think his former co-worker really saw him in Italy...that's just TOO coincidental; the odds would be a trillion to one. I bet this guy's long gone, hopefully he was killed in a manner close to what he inflicted on his family.

D.B. Cooper-skyjacker who in 1971 hijacked a plane in Pacific Northwest. Some of the money and a plastic placard was found but no trace of the hijacker. I wonder if D.B. Cooper is still alive.

LOL, actuall someone posted this in a thread on "cases that should HAVE been solved long ago" ... there's beem books written on who they believe was D.B. Cooper.

The Zodiac Killings-series of unsolved killings in San Fran Bay Area. It would be a miracle if this case was ever solved. And, I DON'T think him and the Unabomber are the same.

if this guy's not dead he is certainly retired it seems like.

Megan Romero Curl-Mentally challenged woman who was tied to her bed and burned in a fire. It would be nice for the family's sake to have this case resolved.

I think they arrested an old boyfriend who is a suspect on seperate charges.

Who Killed Superman-A mystery spanning back over four decades. Actor Christopher Reeves was found dead. Three theories about his death have been presented. It would be nice to know the truth.

This is not about Christopher Reeves, who was paralyzed when he was thrown off a horse. It's about the guy who played Superman on TV in the 50's. From what I read he was gay and somehow that tied in to his death.

Sonny Listen-boxer who was found dead due to a drug overdose. I belive he was drugged and/or murdered. Any other thoughts.??

I think the Mob hooked him up with some bad smack.
Those are my thoughts.

Right On Dude,

Sorry, my mistake...I stand corrected. It was George Reeves, not Christopher Reeves. I was thinking of the newer guy.

I thought of another case that I would be shocked yet very happy to see solved: the missing truck driver who was found driving his big rig through a camp ground, behaving erratically. A few people spotted him and tried to talk to him, but he didn't respond and they drove off. Police later found his abandoned rig with no sign of him. He was a responsible family man. I wonder what happened?

His remains were later recovered. But the nature of his death was never determined. So the disappearance of Devin Williams has been partially solved.

I did a search of the boards and apparantly truck driver Devin Williams' remains were found. However, the mystery of the circumstances of his death linger on (and I don't mean of an extraterrestrial nature!).

I don't think Kristen Smart will ever be found. After doing research on the case i think that guy Paul and his parent threw her into the thrash behind his college dorm room and her remains are now in a garbage fill.

I would like him to be arrested and persecuted for it though.

That's a very disturbing thought. I hope you are wrong.

Was the semi driver...who hit and dragged a Motorcyclist then seemed to search for him to finish him off ever caught? Any idead of the victems name so i can google?

I don't know if they ever caught the semi driver but the victim's name was Jay Durham.

I, too, would love to see justice in the Kristin Smart case. I think that Paul Flores knows way more than he is letting on. (It seems that I say that a lot... lol.)

A lot of the other cases I'd like to see solved have all been mentioned on the board, with the possible exceptions of Norman Ladner and Jeremy Bright.

hi, I'm new to the board after lurking for a few weeks and watching UM for years and years. It was my favorite show growing up.

Anyway, one I'd be shocked to see solved is the case of the man who was sold by the baby broker. He's looking for his biological parents but hasn't had any luck. It always makes me so sad to see his case. It's been so long since it happened that there probably isn't much chance of it being solved.

I don't think that we'll ever truly know who killed Aileen Conway or why she was on that lonely country road that day.

I have always wondered about the baby girl that was kidnapped by a woman outside the hospital in NYC (not sure about the location) as the mother and her friend were leaving. Who knows what happened to that girl, or if she even is still alive.

The murders of the two Franciscan priests (one in Montana) was another one that's probably on a cold case shelf somewhere.

Cases like that are so sad, especially since if the child was raised by the kidnappers or adopted/sold/whatever, she would have no idea what had really happened.

The murders of the two Franciscan priests (one in Montana) was another one that's probably on a cold case shelf somewhere.


I live in Montana, and a guy who worked for the sheriff's office in the county where he disappeared told me that there were only two unsolved homicides in that county: Father Francis Kerrigan is one of them. :( (I'm aware that they haven't found a body, but I don't think they were left with any reason to believe that Father Kerrigan survived his attack...)

Anyone have any theories on that one? I always thought it was someone who may have been abused by a priest in the Order of the Fransiscans. Creepy stuff.

Yes you would think she was probably taken by some delusional woman who wanted a baby of her own so IMO there's a good chance she's still alive.

Here is a profile of her (Marlene Santana was the baby's name) along with an age progressed sketch of her:

http://criminaljustice.state.ny.us/missing/info/136.htm

I think Cindy was murdered. Her employer was involved with drug dealing and she found out about it. Her employer was probably afraid that she would go to the police.

Can anyone back me up on this? I'm pretty sure that's what caused Cindy's murder.

The real estate lawyer who was shot in the elevator of his office building. Anything's possible, but I think it'd be due to a complete fluke if this one is ever solved.

I also would like to see the Kristin Smart case solved....will they ever get to dig up the Flores' backyard??

It also seems that there is a lot of information to solve the Tracey Kirkpatrick case...that guy Don or Sean or whatever had to have done it, they just need to find that one piece of evidence to connect him for sure. If he confessed once, he is likely to do it again with enough pressure.

And since I am from Oregon I too would like to see the Jeremy Bright case solved. With so many teenagers involved and the same characters coming up in the same stories over and over again....how can have not gotten any closer to finding him?

One more that I forgot about was the woman who was kidnapped and shot in the face "Debby"....I would love to see the SOB caught, but I find it highly unlikely at this point with no further leads.

1) I'd love to know what happened to Tara Calico. And if the girl in that photo isn't Tara i'd like to know who she is and what happened to her, and the boy too of course.

2) Nyleen Kay Marshall, I mean that story is so creepy, especially that letter...

3) Third, Anthonette Cayedito, I don't know about this, but something seems fishy about the whole thing, I mean Anthonette opening the door at night, and her mom not noticing, and her sister not telling anything at first... I hope she's alive and well..

And finally, The Wackers! Was it a hoax? Was it someone they knew? Or was it a complete stranger...?

If that Amy Billig deathbed confession story is true, why didn't these so-called friends who she was with say anything? And why leave w/o her in the first place??

Okay, if Amy was at a party like this guy said, and was murdered, what happend on the way to her father's office? That is when she was first considerd missing, as she was supposed to meet him at his office in the afternoon.
:confused:

Anyone remember the case where the guy got into a fender bender with a driver at night? He pulled over and the guy shot him. He made it back to his home and described what happened to authorities but he died during the surgery. He gave a description of the the shooter (an African-American male) and said that the car was champagne-colored but the police said they had too few details to make a sketch. To my knowledge, that case has never been solved.

I'm not sure how legit the biker's story is but I do think Amy Billig was probably killed the day she disappeared. But it doesn't seem like their was any kind of one suspect at all.

I posted on this thread a long time ago, but I wanted to *bump* and add a few more that I would be shocked (but happy) to see solved:

- The case of Bruno the sea lion. I guess they got the guys who killed Bobo, but I would love to see justice for Bruno too. I doubt this would happen, however, as the case is getting pretty old. Not to mention that this was the killing of an animal and not a person. But the case is still heart-breaking.

- The case of Patsy Wright and the poisoned Nyquil.

Hey welcome back Allierain! Love your avatar....:)

Hey welcome back Allierain! Love your avatar....:)

Hey crystaldawn, great to see you! And thank you :)

Wasn't Patsy Wright's Nyquil poisoned with strycnine?

Wasn't Patsy Wright's Nyquil poisoned with strycnine?

Yes, thats right. If you'll do a search on the board someone who knew a lot more about the situation posted some info a while back. Very interesting case.

Well, at least one of the seemingly "unsolvable" cases has been solved - the Baskin children have been found.

I doubt the shooting of "Carol" on the road will ever be solved.

I also think that the "Boys on Track" one will never be solved. Too many heads will roll if that one is solved.

One thing that's kind of shocking is how Unsolved Mysteries turned down cases such as the picture found on the dead body sunk in water with a backpack full of rocks, when it was obvious there were people still alive who would recognize those people, particularly if a facial reconstruction had been done of the skull, and yet they profiled cases 75 years old or more where if anyone who knew was telling it would have come out by now.

I doubt the Bryan Nisenfeld mystery will ever be solved. I honestly don't think the cops looked into the case well enough. I think there are people at the school who know more than they are saying and I feel that being it was a week before the family was even notified there was to much time lost. We know he's dead 'cuz his foot and shin bone were found...but we don't know much else. And the cops have ruled out the "mystery" guy that Bryan was involved with....whom I think had something to do with what happened to Bryan.

I also think we may never know what happened to the two boys who were laid out on the train tracks and hit by it. This mystery is the one that freaked me out the most. Did it have to do with that crazy shooter that was seen around the area wearing fatigues? Or was it something else?

At this point...I doubt we will ever know exactly what happened to Camilla/Cam Lyman...although in my opinion it was that sneaky assistant of hers...who because her close confidant and ended up her executor.

I think Don Sherman killed his wife...but will never pay for it. In my opinion...she was lying dead on that couch as her daughter walked by to give her father an alibi as to seeing her "alive" that morning.

I don't think they will ever know who arranged to have the 2 Mary Norris's killed...Even though...again...I think it was Mary Norris's husband...he was just creepy!

I also think that most of the Ghost stories will never be solved because that is the mystery of Ghosts...weather they exist or not.

D.B.Cooper...I think he's dead...then again...was anyone reported missing at the time? If he was dead...he should have been reported missing...by someone?

That's just a few that I think will never be solved...and it's to bad. 'cuz the families of the people involved deserve closure.

Lauria Bible and Ashley Freeman case

D.B.Cooper...I think he's dead...then again...was anyone reported missing at the time? If he was dead...he should have been reported missing...by someone?

I am actually surprised that DB Cooper hasn;t been identified yet. If he;s dead someone has been missing for all this time. It can;t be that hard to find that person.

That's why I tend to think that DB Cooper might have survived.

My picks

1. Danny Casolaro- too much damage to the government if that is revealed
2. Dave Bochs/NLO- same as above
3. George Reeves (Superman)- too much time has passed
4. Robert Hammerick- Doubtful the Rock Creek gang or what remains of them will give up the shooter. Dount it matters who the shooter was, since it was a conspiratorial act by the gang. They should all be hanged.:mad:
5. Charlotte Pollis- Unless Paul Pollis decides to confess, he will most likely have gotten away with murder. There's no more evidence in that case. :mad:
6. Mark Groezinger - same as above
7. George Owens- sadly. :(
8. I-70 killer - mostly because since he was a spree killer and stopped suddenly. He probably killed himself, got killed or got arrested for something else.
9. The Wackers- if those attackers are real, there's no real evidence or leads except for that composite. The only person that could provide any leads were the Wackers themselves.
10. Circleville Writer- In a way i kind of don;t want this one to be solved. It would ruin the mystery.

1- Tara Calico. Someone posted that the local police believed Tara was victim of a hit-and-run, that they had identified some suspects but there wasnt enough evidence to accused them. If this is true id like to know whats the story behind the infamous photo.

2- Patricia Meyhan (sp?) the woman who fled the scene of a car accident.

3- Cindy James

4- Angela Hammond

1. Keith Warren

2. Christi Nichols

3. Wendy Camp

4. Mysterious hitchhiker who killed Philip Fraser

5. Amy Bradley

6. Claudia Kirshhoch

7. Angela Hammond

There are a few others, but if one of the above get solved, I'll consider it a miracle...

For me, it would be:

1. the I-70 Killer, as Mastermind recently mentioned. Probably dead or incarcerated for another crime.
2. Dave Bocks
3. Dwayne McCorkendale
4. Devon Williams (What the hell happened there?)
5. All of the so-called "Octopus" cases: Casolaro, etc.
6. "Carol"
7. William Bradford Bishop
8. Jay Durham
9. Aileen Conway
10. Circleville Writer

I also think that the "Boys on Track" one will never be solved. Too many heads will roll if that one is solved.

I agree, and it's grossly unfortunate. The case in and of itself is completely solvable, but as you said, there's "too much" at stake for those involved. One of the absolute worst miscarriages of justice I've ever seen in my life.

The Bordon murders...It's just been to long sense the murder and no one who was there is alive anymore.

I'm afraid that the Lorraine "Laurie" Zimmerman case will not be solved. I wish this one would be...but unless anyone comes forward...it's not going to be solved. I know the psychic had a name...but as they said in the episode...there is no such name.

It's good that Sherry Eyerly's murder was solved...but I don't know if we will ever know what Wilson's involvement in her murder was. All I know is a man that kills himself just hours after an interview about the murder had to have something to do with it.

And Cindy James. I think there is a lot more to that story then meets the eye. I believe that she WAS murdered...but I think there is more to it. Although I do believe that she did do some of it to herself...like the fire in the basement. She was the only one only one who could have set that fire...but I don't believe that she could have done what it took for her to die.

There was a really good potential match made by Porchlight USA for unidentified remains that may be Mrs. Hearin's. I will see if I can find more info about it. The match is about a year old but that doesn't mean the investigators have gotten to it or ruled it out yet.

I went to porchlight's site and saw annie Hearin's missing info on their MS page (the state she's from) but I didn't she anything on their UID page and links from that page for that state.

Do you know if the body suspected to be hers was found in MS or what?

(Even a search of the site for "annie hearin" only brings up her missing page.)

Yes! There are a couple. I had trouble finding them as well. I had to register and then search.

Here is one potential match that has a rendering:

[QUOTE=Apostapler] Here is one potential match that has a rendering:

That sounds like a really promising lead. It would certainly be beneficial to know if Annie Hearin had had back surgery, etc. They have a lot of details with their 'found' victim that you think would be easy to match her to a known missing person.

One thing that I think adds to making it a good possible match is that the ransom note was mailed from atlanta, GA. It's right between where Annie was taken from and where the kidnapper lives.

For her killer to drive from her house in Jackson, MS, (where he may have made her write the letter and may have killed her), drive to Atlanta, GA and mail the ransom note, drive down to the big cypress preserve to dump the body, then drive the last 175 miles home to st. petersburg...

Well, it sounds kinda crazy, but that guy had already gone through a big convoluted mess of adding suspects to the list when he demanded that all those other people receive ransom payments. He was a nut!

And I agree with everyone who said that how in the heck can this guy get convicted of her kidnapping, serve time for it, and be released, yet he never has to tell anyone where he held her while he had her kidnapped and never has to tell anyone where he released her when he let her go.

WTF did he do? Drop her off at the Walmart in Chandler, Oklahoma?

I also think that the "Boys on Track" one will never be solved. Too many heads will roll if that one is solved.
I agree, and it's grossly unfortunate. The case in and of itself is completely solvable, but as you said, there's "too much" at stake for those involved. One of the absolute worst miscarriages of justice I've ever seen in my life.
I agree that this will never be solved, but not because there is too much at stake for those involved. I just think this case was so botched from the beginning (whether due to corruption and intentional cover-ups or outright incompetence), and, at this point, there are so many conflicting stories about various people's involvement that it just seems like it would be impossible to sort out the truth. Very sad for the boys and their families.

The whole "Clinton body count" and other similar large-scale conspiracy theories certainly don't help at all. I think a lot of people tend to assume that if one thinks a cover-up is at the center of this case, he/she obviously must be subscribing to a Clinton conspriracy.

I agree. I think it is entirely possible that there was an intentional cover-up in the initial investigation by law enforcement, but the "Clinton body count" stuff is pure nonsense and does no help at all. The problem at this point is that so many "witnesses" have come out of the woodwork to say they saw one or both of the boys with this person or that person that it almost appears as though the whole town was in on the murder and cover-up. If anyone ever were charged, there would be so many witnesses for the defense to say that some other person was the "real killer" that it would be difficult to get a conviction, I think.

Honestly, at this point, I think anyone who has "too much at stake" in this case is not worried at all. It is very sad for the families. They deserve to know what happened to their loved ones, and they certainly deserved much better than the authorities originally investigating the case gave them.

The Boys on the Tracks case will most likely never get solved because the killers are most likely dead, in jail for a different crime or long since fled to another country when they found out what happened.

If these guys were on drugs they may not even remember that they did this act.

There would be most likely no witnesses but the killers themselves.

If these guys belonged to a criminal organization, that org has probably long since been broken up, morphed, taken over, chase into another town, or in jail.

If corrupt cops were part of it, they are probably retired, moved or promoted into higher rank that protects them.

Criminal enterprise murders don't work well as cold cases.

This is obviously one of the most disturbing cases ever profiled on any show. If anybody is mystified about how an all-american type of guy could just flip out one day and kill his entire family, I found an article at the following link that will help you better understamd what kind of a guy Brad Bishop really was, and it will help you understand how little he really thought about his family, which is what allowed him to committ this heinous crime, and allows him to continue living with himself to this day as if nothing happened. Go to the following link.

The girl that was tied to her bed and set on fire I dont know if that story will ever come out.

I'm sorry, guys, about the registration thing. Everything on porchlight except one forum where we just chit chat sometimes is open to anyone to read. Unfortunately, I have never been able to get the search thing to work for people who are not logged in. One thing that might be helpful....we list potential matches under the uid number (our own numbering system) and then the missing persons name.
So if you are looking for matches for a particular john or jane doe, the date of their discovery and the state they were found in is what is in our numbering system.
So a John Doe found in NY on Feb 3 1986 would be NYM (for New York Male) 86 (for the year) 02 (for Feb and 03 for the date. NYM860203...
Hope that helps....
Also there are multiple porchlight boards. Porchlight International is the board with the "usedtobedoe" url and is yellow in color. http://z10.invisionfree.com/usedtobedoe/index.php?act=idx
Porchlightusa is blue...
http://z13.invisionfree.com/PorchlightUSA/index.php?act=idx
Porchlight International lists cases in year order....porchlightusa lists them according to state....then year order.
Here are the pending possible matches. Note they are listed by uid number in order....
http://z10.invisionfree.com/usedtobedoe/index.php?showforum=41
Here are the ruled out matches
http://z10.invisionfree.com/usedtobedoe/index.php?showforum=81
You should be able to see all of these without registering....though we welcome all new members.

Photo website for usa is here http://porchlightusamissing.1colony.com/ still under construction though.

Yes! There are a couple. I had trouble finding them as well. I had to register and then search.

Here is one potential match that has a rendering:

The other one is a potential match due to the connection to Georgia from the ransom letters:

dallascowboyfan, the link you posted in #73 isn't working. I went to the zoominfo site to see if I could find the info myself, but nothing promising came up under a bradford bishop search. Do you have any other info that might help?

EDIT: never mind...

I found the article in full where you posted it on the William Bradford Bishop thread. (And the link you provided in that thread worked.)

From what I could tell, it's an AMW article but I went to their site and it's not there. It must be an oldie or something.

I don't think that we'll ever truly know who killed Aileen Conway or why she was on that lonely country road that day.

Good one: What the hell happened to that woman? I think we've pretty much hit them all. Also, and I say these with great sadness because I WANT them to be solved (some have probably already been mentioned):

Matthew Chase
Matt Flores
Permon Gilbert
Mark Grozeinger (the wife, HELLO)!!!!!!
Dick Hansen
Rhonda Hinson
Kathy Hobbs
Su-Ya Kim
Tracey Kirkpatrick
Dwane McCorkendale
The two Mary Murders (Mary McGinnis and Mary Morris)
The Orange Sock murders (Oberholzer and Schnee)
Jesslyn Rich
Dexter Stefonek
Rebecca Young
Lisa Ziegert
Amy Bradley
The disgusting "man" who attacked and raped "Debbie" in NC
Richard Bocklage
Bowling Alley Massacre
The hit and run of the African-American college students on I-40
Wallace Thrasher
Donald Eugene Webb
Pedro Uribe


I HATE to mention these, because I SO desperately want them solved, as all of you do too. I just wish that there was a way that we could figure these out, because they are all incredibly tragic.

To solve Mark Grozeinger's murder, all they have to do it look at the cheating wife. Wasn't it the day after his murder that she moved her girlfriend into her and Mark's house? (Why is it that just we UM fans can see the guilt there?)

Same with the Mary Morris murders, IMO. Look at the younger Mrs. Morris' husband, and viola! Case solved.

The problem with that case is that there will be no phsyical evidence on the second woman's husband, because he most likely hired a hitmen. The key to solving the Mary Morris murders is to find the hitman or whoever hired the hitman. I have a feeling whoever he hired is not a pro and probably is sitting in jail for another crime. It's really a matter of connecting the button man to Mr. Morris.

Same issue as the above case. A hitman was hired. The police wanted to arrest her but they have no evidence against Judy, because she is not the one that committed the murder. Now if it was Judy's "lady friend" that did the hit, perhaps this case will be solved if their relationship hits the rocks.

Matt C, came up with some good ones. ;)

Dwane McCorkendale

I acually think this one could get solved. But if it's any consolation, I am almost positive his killers are in jail or spent time in jail for another crime. They also are probably not living such a great life either, most likely they are serious drug addicts and may have died as a result of that life.

Dick Hansen
Most likely a drug deal gone bad. I don't believe for a second about that stupid 49ers/Raiders fan nonsense. This case would get solved if the women in the car would just tell the truth. :mad:

The Orange Sock murders (Oberholzer and Schnee), Kathy Hobbs,
Lisa Ziegert, Tracey Kirkpatrick

I actually think all those cases could be solved and will be solved. Some of the above cases may be serial in nature, so it's not surprising that they haven't been solved yet. But I think at least half of the above will get solved at some point.

Jesslyn Rich
Agreed. Too many people were involved and there's too much to lose if the truth comes out.

Rhonda Hinson
This one is suprising that it hasn't been closed(or has it???). Everything points to Rhonda knowing this guy, so the suspect had to be close.

Dexter Stefonek
Probably won't get solved. It was a difficult case to begin with.

Amy Bradley
I think it could be solved if investigators would re-focus this case off the whole biker kidnap angle.

Rebecca Young
Well, there is a witness waiting to be found. Hopefully someone will eventually find him. Keep in mind that this is a drug murder. The suspects may already have been killed or in jail for other murders. The hope of this case is that a drug investigation will snare the suspects and Rebecca;s murder will either be attributed to the organization or used in prosecution.

Richard Bocklage
Personally I think Richard Bocklage has committed suicide by now. He didn't seem all that together to escape indefinitely.

Donald Eugene Webb
Judging by his age, probably dead by now.

The disgusting "man" who attacked and raped "Debbie" in NC
Hopefully he is not caught, because it would mean he did this to someone else. :(. I have a feeling that this was his first and possibly only crime. He did not seem like the serial type. More like some guy that wanted to vent after losing his job.

Matthew Chase
Given the ease in which this guy committed the crime, he must have done robberies like this before and after. This leads me to think the killer might have been in jail or is currently in jail for another crime.

The hit and run of the African-American college students on I-40

if this guy is some one-off nut who decided to do this for jollies, it would probably be difficult to find him. If the guys is a white supremacist, there is a good chance that he is still active(especially given who are president is) and could resurface. It should also be considered that police could be involved.

Bowling Alley Massacre
The people who did this probably were/are career criminals. We should come across them again(if they aren't already in jail for another crime). There is also evidence of an inside job. This case could certainly be solved.

I think it could be solved if investigators would re-focus this case off the whole biker kidnap angle.

Mastermind, I think you've got the Amy Billig and Amy Bradley cases confused. Amy Billig was the one who was supposed to have been kidnapped by a biker gang, and that info had her mom searching, literally, all over the world.

Amy Bradley went missing off a cruise ship.

Hey Mastermind: Thanks for commenting on the ones I mentioned! :)

I agree with you on almost everything you said; one quick note though: With Amy Bradley, I think you're confusing her with Amy Billig. Amy Bradley is the young woman who was on the cruise ship and vanished; some say she was abducted and sold into sex slavery in Aruba or South America. Her family is from Chesterfield County, about 10 miles south of me... I contacted her mother via email about a month ago, and she was gracious enough to reply. She said that there have been no new developments since 2005:mad:

I agree that Dick Hansen's killer was not a football fan gone mad, as the cops would have us believe. I too believe that the female friend knows much more than she is saying, especially since it appears that the killer was following HER, and not Dick. I can't understand why the cops think it's about a license plate simply because the killer pointed in the direction of her car. As I wrote in the Dick Hansen thread, that could have meant anything; for example ("Why are you with my woman?", etc).

And some of the others, I hope you're right. I think, even though it doesn't mean closure for the families, thinking that some of these a**holes are behind bars or dead for other crimes makes me feel better.

Mastermind, I think you've got the Amy Billig and Amy Bradley cases confused. Amy Billig was the one who was supposed to have been kidnapped by a biker gang, and that info had her mom searching, literally, all over the world.

Oh, sorry about that TraceyLynn: I just repeated on my response what you had also posted. :crazy:

Yep, your right. Wrong Amy. My bad.

Sadly, I have not watched the Amy Bradley segment or read enough of the case to make any full comment.

Offhand, I'd say she fell off the boat and drowned or was killed by a potential lover or boyfriend that threw her body overboard. But I have to read more on the case....

Yeah, check out that case because it is truly a mystery lover's dream case, so to speak. I initially thought she had fallen overboard too, but her pack of cigs were not found (did she fall overboard holding her pack)? Perhaps. But what really intrigued me was seeing the photos that were mailed to Amy's parents several years later, of a female prostitute in Aruba, looking all drugged out and haggard. The resemblance is so incredibly striking (including both having 4 piercings on the right ear) that even the FBI said it was "probably Amy in the photograph." Do some internet searching, b/c it's a really interesting case.

Matt, were those photos of a blonde woman on the beach and they never really showed her face but she had a tattoo like Amy's? I thought they determined that the woman on the beach was not Amy. And maybe someone was trying to get money out of the family or something with those photos? IDK, I haven't seen a tv show about her or read anything recently, so I could definitely be confused about the details.

but her pack of cigs were not found (did she fall overboard holding her pack)?

i could easily picture going out on one of the decks for a smoke. She's slightly drunk and she slips and falls overboard. Happens all too often on cruises.

Suicide could be a possibility as well. The cigarettes could have been her "last smoke" like what happens in old style executions.

Well, read about the case first, b/c I think you'd say suicide was highly unlikely... she truly was not one to fit that profile at all.

The pics I was talking about were not of the blond on the beach, they were of the woman with dark brown hair lying on a bed in a sexual position. Check out her website, as I think the photos are listed there. It is striking how similar they look.

IDK, I haven't seen a tv show about her or read anything recently, so I could definitely be confused about the details.

Hey TraceyLynn: The photos I was talking about are of a brown haired woman that someone apparently randomly found on a commercial website which showed women who were available as prostitutes in an Aruba sex club (prostitution is legal in Aruba). The photos were anonymously sent to Amy's parents, and were featured on Dr. Phil in 2005 when the Bradley's appeared on the show, which was about missing people.

If you check out Amy Bradley's website, I think they are posted there, as well as on an Amy Bradley thread here. I don't know, but the resemblance is incredible... I'd love to hear your opinion (and others) about the resemblance. It's uncanny honestly. :confused:

Actually, here is the photo: http://drphil.com/assets/a/a8c6fc350e2f3217d36856701961528f.jpg

It's small obviously, but you can find a larger one and, as I said, they both have exactly the same multiple piercings on the left ear (I initially said right by mistake) and the facial features lead the FBI to conclude that the photo was "most likely of Amy Bradley." Very disturbing.

And here's the link to the Bradley thread, on which this photo is discussed at length: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=156909&highlight=%22amy+bradley%22

So, what did you think about the article? Because while I thought it was intriguing, it also made my stomach turn, and I found it frightening and sad, especially when I read quotes from the oldest son's former classmates about how well liked he was, and then to think about the ending his life as well as the rest of the family's had, it just sticks in your craw, especially with the strong possiblity that the father is still out there.

DallasCowboyFan,

All of those, plus Oliver Munson, the Blind River Rest Stop murders, the Carolina hit and run, Dewayne McCorkendale, Doreen Picard/Susan Laferte, the Thammavong hit and run case.

One case that I don’t think will ever be solved is the somewhat rare lost love segment – although it definitely aired on Lifetime a handful of times – about Dolores Valadez. The segment used to be posted on the forbidden site, but it was dubbed in Spanish from a Mexican airing (called “Misterios sin Resolver” in Spanish-speaking countries). I do know some Spanish and was kind of able to follow along. Here’s a synopsis which people who have the English-speaking version can correct if I get something wrong:

Basically, Dolores grew up in a mostly Mexican-American community in Southern California and was believed to have been born in late 1947. She was raised by an older Mexican woman named Maria Valadez who was a folk healer and medicine woman. Dolores described Maria as a rather cold woman who frightened her and by whom she felt resented. Whenever Dolores would ask about her birth family, Maria would simply tell her that she adopted Dolores after finding her abandoned in an old suitcase on her doorstep as an infant. Dolores never bought the story and her adoptive siblings Mingo and Vicki (they were adopted after Dolores, but they were both older than her) just chalked the story up to Maria’s dark sense of humor. Oddly, while she never would reveal Dolores’ birth family, she did tell Mingo and Vicki who their natural parents were. Maria died when Dolores was about 8 or 9, at which time she went to various foster homes until she turned 18 in 1965. She married and had a daughter Erika in 1970; it was the birth of her own child that prompted her to keep searching for her birth parents. Dolores found some records (I don’t offhand remember exactly what type of records they were) that seemed to indicate that Maria was actually her aunt.She also visited a local woman who was a friend of the family and asked if she was her mother, but the woman flat out denied it. Dolores also said she thought she remember her brother Mingo telling her who her birth parents were when she was little, but when she asked him on camera, he denied ever having done so and said he didn’t know anymore than she did about her roots.

RS stated that Dolores had endured other setbacks because of her limited knowledge of her birth family. She couldn’t obtain a passport, she was unable to collect on a large inheritance when someone in Maria’s family died because no one could be sure what relation, if any, she was to Maria. Her daughter Erika was even turned down for a scholarship for Mexican-American students because Dolores had no real way to confirm that she herself is of Mexican descent.

I think Maria was the only one who actually could have answered those questions, but she adamantly refused to and took the answers to her grave. I’d love to know where Dolores is today and if she was ever able to find any information with the current technology that wasn’t available in 1988 when her segment aired. I couldn’t even find her on Facebook.

I've probably mentioned this in a similar thread, but I would be utterly shocked to wake up one day and find the 1935 murder of George Coniff definitely solved. At the time the segment first aired, the main suspect was in his nineties.

The Black Dahlia.

Torso Slayer.

Cases I'd love to see solved:

1: William Bradford Bishop. I think he's dead, but perhaps there's a glimmer of hope he's still alive and will see justice one day.

2: Adam Hecht. The world he entered was one of living on the streets and the edge and I'd be surprised if the person who killed him or abducted him was alive themselves.

3: DB Cooper
