UM cases local to you - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

BillTheRealtor · 07-18-2024, 11:37 AM

I know this has been done in the past, but what UM cases took place fairly local to you? The closest one to me was the Clarence Roberts case in Nashville Indiana. It's about 20 minutes from me. In fact, a nephew of his was a client of mine. He even talked about him a little bit. From the segment, Im pretty familiar with all the scenery they filmed. After Clarences first "death", Geneva moved out to a little place actually called "Camp Roberts". I don't know of the name had any connection or not. The house where the first fire happened is north of Nashville and actually had another garage that burned years later. However there are 3 houses at that intersection so not sure which one for sure was theirs.

Colleen Reed was kidnapped a short distance from where I lived at the time, as was the convenience store where Cheryl Holland was working under a fake name.

I grew up in Winter Garden where Tommy Zeiglar murdered his wife, in laws and a customer in 1975. I moved away in 1977.

I live in the county where the boys on the track happened.

I was born in New Castle, PA - the home town of Phillip Macri

They show a clip of him making the game winning shot in a New Castle HS basketball game -- a ton of my relatives went there.

I now live in Lancaster, PA and the Danny Pineda case happened here.

Guessing it did -- Clarence's sister owned the second house that Geneva lived in that eventually burned down and she lived next door. Probably a group of houses the Roberts family owned.

Ghosthouse you're probably right. Out in rural Indiana there are lots of little patches of family land that just stays in the family through the generations. My guess is maybe his family felt bad for what she was going through and let her live in an empty house out there. Makes you wonder if they knew more than they said, especially with the sightings and rumors that Clarence came back and was there.

Did that take place in Arkansas?

SPD Yellow · 07-20-2024, 09:47 PM

I live in Oklahoma, so I guess the Wendy Camp case counts. I’ve lived all over the state, but probably the closest I was to Shamrock, was when I lived in Cleveland in Pawnee County, which is near Creek County where Shamrock is located.

I was a few weeks away from my tenth birthday and was living in OKC when the bombing happened, so anything related to that case really speaks to me.

Mothman is 20 minutes away from me.

I'm from Los Angeles. I know there's a lot of mysteries from there and neighboring cities. Only ones that come to mind right now are Matthew Chase and Rosemary Hom.

Same. We have so many in our county/neighboring counties.

Mickey and Trudy Thompson

Angeles National Forest murders (Linda Sobek and Kimberly Pandelios)
Music School Fraud in North Hollywood
Jesse James Hollywood
Queen Mary
Elizabeth Short (aka the Black Dahlia)
Chevy Chase Bandit
Mel and Anita Green

And many more!

The Lee Carter Jr car bombing took place about a mile from me (my mother knew him).
I live next to Lake Champlain, where Champy is.
I'm about 45 minutes from where Kari Lynn Nixon was abducted from.

Joe Shepherd was captured in my city.

In the years that he lived here, there were some high profile murders of young women that remain unsolved, thanks to the shittiest police work known to man. At least one of them fit Shepherd's m.o. to a tee. He lived in the same disgusting welfare complex where she vanished from. Clear view of the apartment and everything. The police claim that Shepherd was cleared through DNA, but I highly doubt it. After how the police mangled and have continued to disrespect this case for 41 years, I don't believe anything they have to say. They recently put up billboards offering a huge reward for information leading to the arrest of the girl's murder. They have the murderer's DNA; they could spend a fraction of the reward money for genetic genealogy, and...I don't know...catch the f.ucking killer?!?! I hate these cops so much.

Many years later, I bumped into a guy online who used to work locally as an exterminator. He remembered spraying for roaches at Shepherd's residence.

Oliver Munson disappeared about 15 minutes away from where I live.
