dear unsolved mysteries I think it would be a good idea to air the mystery of the great basin killings it might help to identify some of the women that could not be identified by the local athourities. If you haven't already.

I couldn't help but notice your interesting message, Red. I looked at that unsolved serial murder case through some websites, including APB Online. Here's the web address:

http://www.apbonline.com/crimesolver...asin/main.html

Before you click on to it, however, I'd like to mention that upon looking through that web page, I noticed that a picture of one of the victims looked familiar. The name was Lisa Kimmell. She was found dead in a river in Wyoming in the spring of 1988. Her unsolved murder was featured on Unsolved Mysteries! (Coincidentally, the March 1989 broadcast of that segment was the start of my watching UM!) Interestingly though, the segment makes no mention of her death being related to the Great Basin murders; the GB serial murder case isn't even mentioned in the segment either. But one significance of Kimmell's death was the fact that her car had personalized license plate which read "LIL MISS." The car has never been recovered.

I agree that the Great Basin serial murder case would be a good choice for a future Unsolved Mysteries segment.

Bringing this one forward because saw Amy Bechtel case on Disappeared. Her suspected killer is Eaton, the Lil Miss killer who lived in Moneta, WY east of Landers where Amy lived. Eaton is on WY death row.
Supposed to be up to 10 other cases, with 4 not identified. many were hitchhikers on interstates in WY, ID, MT, CO, and NV between 1983 and 1997. The last was Tonya Teska, found dead on an on ramp to US 20 in Ucon, ID. Anyone have any more info on these crimes? Eaton won't talk although cellmates have claimed he said he'd killed others over the years.

here is a recent story:
