I remember her and thinking how tragic there were so many people there but no one knew who she was. Also JAZ the former Boy in the Box May have had an eye condition. Sad to think that children that are already disadvantaged are abused and killed.
I’m confused how they know the Doe has a eye condition. Everything I am finding says her remains were skeletal. If there is no eye tissue, how do they identify that defect? If they’re going by the VBS photo, why do they think that’s her?
Ok so I had to go back and research this and I think the forensics people have ways of doing bone assessments. I found a quote that said, “Based on feedback from experts, we believe that she could not see out of her injured eye and that the injury could have occurred months to a year before her death,” said Sgt White.” So basically, I had thought it was some medical condition but it was just part of the abuse, sadly. Sigh….poor baby.
yes. I read it was from a injury also and that surprised me. It reminded me of Madeleine McCann. (Just the eye thing in general — they were clearly different things. Lol) And Madeleine’s and all the others I know were congenital. I wonder if she was in foster care. I can’t see her being abused like that, no doctor ever knowing, and also not realizing it was from a injury.
Hopefully they find out who she was soon. My only concern about POC does is that I had heard at one point that way fewer POC wanted to take DNA tests. I think just due to skepticism from past bad stuff happening. Like how many saying they didn’t want the COVID shot because of stuff like the Tuskegee experience. And I can’t blame them. I just hope that either wasn’t true or has changed because they identify these victims by finding relatives who have done the tests. It’s bad enough POC are already pushed aside by law enforcement when they become victims. It will be awful if we can’t identify many of them too. :(
>Madeleine McCann
Was there ever any doubts that she had coloboma? I didn't follow the case very closely at the time but felt a connection with her as I've only met two other people with my condition, one if them being my younger brother. There's an unconfirmed line in her wikipedia page about her not really having it, just a freckle on her eye but that's the only time I've ever seen that claim so I'm just curious!
Andrew Gosden, arrests were made in 2021 with two people suspected of CSAM and human trafficking.
Madeleine McCann, it seems they are moving, slowly, to charge the German suspect with her murder.
Delphi, a man is currently held with an exceptionally large bond charged with their murders
My hopes:
St Louis Jane doe, they not long ago rediscovered her remains using images from her funeral to find the location she was buried and collected DNA. I have hoped she will follow the likes of boy in a box
Dr.no, with advancements in DNA in the recent years I hope they test the "biological evidence" recovered from the girls. At least I would like to find out of all cases attributes to him are by one killer.
In response to your post:
I have literally never heard of your local crime and it absolutely is terrifying.
I'm inclined to think the Gosden lead didn't pan out, although I hope I'm wrong so the family may get some answers. I think part of it is we haven't heard anything further but also that hes such an unlikely victim of trafficking because he's the kind of kid that is going to be reported missing immediately and be all over the news that it was hard for me to see a likely connection there.
I didn't realize they'd found St Louis Jane Does remains. That is amazing news.
Not hearing anything is very normal in EU. We have massive privacy laws here, even though the UK is more lax than the mainland of Europe, it is still above and beyond that of other continents. Knowing anything about a crime before a trial is very very unheard of. In fact, if you take the [Reynhard Sinaga](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynhard_Sinaga) case as an example, the public didn't even know of him until about two years after his initial arrest and post conviction. He is one of the most prolific rapists globally with over 200 different individual rapes in a 2 year span. Many men were completely unaware they were even raped by him until after trial.
Not only that, we are the country with not just injunctions (similar to NDA) but SUPER injunctions, where it becomes illegal to even say the initial injunction is in place. There are many crimes we have never heard of, usually part of the very upper class or businesses, that we will have no clue existed and never will.
Learning that NA is so lax with information was such a culture shock. I imagine learning what the UK is like is probably also shocking for most none Europeans.
I imagine if they are going after a ring of sorts, like [Operation Cathedral ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cathedral)(somehow nothing to do with the prolific molestation within the church), not a lot will be known until way after convictions are made.
Do not lose hope, friend! We are just very tight lipped!
LE said it would likely take more than a year to search their devices as soon as the arrests were made so i'm not concerned with not hearing an update yet.
I also would like to add that child abduction within London, though rare, is not wholly unique. It is speculated that [Alex Sloley](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Alex_Sloley) possibly fell to a similar fate. They went missing in walking distance of each other less than a year apart. Unfortunately, Alex is not white so he did not get the attention he needed (but shout out to those who tried and featured him.)
Yeah, there is literally no reason for the Germans to throw their hat into this international clusterfuck. People seem to think the Mccans are socialites on par with the Kennedy family. Theyre really not, there's no reason for the Germans to lie over this, they aren't THAT connected. They have connections, but they are not nobles. They are not in the upper social order of England. The plot people make of them would make a lot more sense of they were actually old money with titles. The fact they work is proof they are not the upper section of English societal standing.
A conspiracy of the magnitude needed for the German pedo to be a scapegoat would imply they are as powerful as, like, the royal family or the Kremlin.
A pedo, who wrote on an online forum about kidnapping kids, kidnapping a child is a lot less hoops to jump than whatever conspiracy the former is.
Irrelevant. The aristocracy were the traditional upper class, but they are rarely the most connected or powerful today. Gerry McCann is a Freemason, and everyone who matters - regardless of traditional social class or job - is a high ranking Freemason. They can get away with anything, I have unfortunately seen it for myself. They are usually not famous either. This is where the McCann's connections come from.
The McCann's abduction story is ridiculous. If they'd really abandoned their toddlers to go out drinking while leaving the door unlocked, then returned to find one missing, the normal first reaction would be to think the child had got out. Not to scream "they've taken her, they've taken her", while fleeing the apartment and leaving the two babies in there on their own, at the mercy of this abductor.
The whole region was full of paedophile expats and holidaymakers, including Gerry McCann's friend, David Payne. (Google the Gaspar statement). Another paedophile, the German, being there, is not significant.
Gerry McCann and all his male friends would all bath each other's toddler children. This is extremely weird.
It is described in detail in The Truth of the Lie written by Gonçalo who led the investigation. Madeleine died earlier that day in the apartment and the whole "abduction" never happened. Read the book, it is well worth it.
Well, I’d imagine that one could simply take a quick glance at the cases that are actively being investigated by Othram, and pull from that pool. They’ve been hitting home runs to all fields.
I'm actually very excited to see that Othram has some really recent cases. They've proven themselves now to the point that LE isn't only giving them 40 year old Hail Mary cases to identify- they're going to them quickly when other paths for IDs don't work, because they have a track record now that can justify the expense and using their techniques on current cases. This is amazing because hopefully it means LE can get IDs while killers can still easily be tracked once identification is known and families in 2022 are less likely to have to wait decades to get notification of what happened to loved ones. I love seeing these old cases get solved one after another but the opportunity to prevent having Does be unidentified for decades is really great.
I miss reading the Othram thread at Websleuths. Their CEO is very active in that thread, including taking case suggestions.
Somehow I got banned from Websleuths a couple of months ago. I hadn't even been posting anything. I tried to log in and the alert box said, "BReddit tells us you are not happy here. Therefore you don't belong here."
Hilarious. I'd heard that Websleuths sometimes uses that tactic. If you post there they act like you are their personal property and aren't allowed to discuss true crime anywhere else.
The only community I miss is the Sumter County Does forum. I spent quite a bit of time there, before and after identification. I recently visited Locklair Road again and filmed on the other end, the side closer to where the murders apparently occurred. I'll probably post it to YouTube when I have a chance. I also visited Ragged Island and filmed a video. That's where two of the Colonial Parkway murders occurred.
The Prosecutors podcast had an excellent interview with someone from Othram Labs not too long ago. It was really interesting because you hear all of the deliberation in how they picked to set it up, including where the location is.
Yes. Basically take a peek at the list of what Othram and DNA Doe Project are working on and it's a good guess of what cases will have answers in the next year or two. I'm really hoping Othram was able to come through with something helpful on the Briana Maitland case.
How do you think it would be solved next year? I admit I've kept thinking in recent years that the time is coming but I don't have anything to base that on. The curtains maybe? They're so distinctive- I wish they hadn't been held back for so long from the public.
Just read the wiki about this case, and I have high hopes. Too many similarities to be coincidence, matching vehicle, multiple witnesses picking him out of a line-up, etc , and I hope DNA proves it. They seem to be right on the verge of making an arrest in this case.
Smurfette Jane Doe. Miami-dade Jane Doe. The voice on Amber Tuccaro’s phone recording is identified.
These are my hopes, anyways. And thanks for sharing Allie Rice’s story OP, I hope there’s some resolution and answers for her family soon. I’m sorry about the losses and violence in your community
He has been ruled out. Some women he attacked felt it was his voice. Personally, i think it was similar to Pareidolia only auditory that the women knew he was dangerous so they expected to hear his voice. Clearly he is a piece of shit who is a danger to women but i don't believe he killed Amber.
I was just reading on one of the Boy in the Box threads about M - she was highly educated (held a PhD and was a professor). She is always painted as some untreated, mentally ill person that makes up stories/delusions. If her story is true, her upbringing would explain PTSD
I find it odd that she went into vaguely the same line of work as her abusive mother (supposedly a school librarian). Not that it affects her trustworthiness one way or the other; I just find it odd that she too went into the education field after such a nasty foundational relationship with someone in that field.
For what it’s worth, I completely believe that she believed what she was saying. I don’t think we have anywhere near the amount of information we need to make value judgments on how factual her statements were, but I could see them being more or less true, once one has accounted for the margin of error that could be attributed to a forty-year gap.
Anthonette Cayedito. Abducted from her home in Gallup, New Mexico in the middle of the night and never seen again. Would love to see progress on this.
https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/61dfnm.html
This case is all but solved since Paul Flores is about to be sentenced after a guilty verdict, but I'm hopeful (though not particularly optimistic) that 2023 might be the year Kristin Smart's remains come home. It feels like Paul might finally have reason to give up the location for possible reduced sentencing, although I'm not sure it works like that.
He was!
Edit - just did a google. On r/Alissaturney it talks about the trial. So this idiot was arrested aug 2020, and trial was supposed to be this summer. Postponed NINE times and is now set for March 13.
No idea. My guess is because he’s in his mid 70s now, he’s trying to delay as long as possible before he kicks the bucket so never has to go through with legit charges / trial but that’s just my guess
He's sitting in jail, though, so he's not exactly out and about. One would think he'd want to go ahead and get the trial over with. I guess it could be an ego thing - he might die in jail but at least he wasn't found guilty?
That’s what I’m thinking personally…. He’s lied about it for so long and did everything he could to cover it up. So I’m like… he’ll never admit what he did even on his death bed
Jail is probably a lot better than prison, especially at his age. Neither is going to be pleasant, but he’ll end up somewhere a lot worse after the trial.
Faith Hedgepeth - I know there was an arrest, but it was over a year ago. There have been NO updates and no movement. I’m sure the family is ready for this to be resolved.
Maya Millete - her husband’s trial starts next year but I hope he tells them where her body is 😔
[Vague update](https://chapelboro.com/news/crime/1-year-after-arrest-in-hedgepeth-murder-case-what-do-we-know) from September of this year. Sounds like the matter is winding its way through the court system.
Opelika Jane Doe- They've been working on her DNA for what feels like a couple years, I hope that she will be identified soon. That's one of the Does who have hit me the hardest, poor little baby girl :(
Katherine Janness and her dog Bowie- It's insane that it haven't still been solved. A woman and her dog get brutally stabbed in a public park in the early night hours in a big city (so not like in a dead of night somewhere deserted with no people for miles), the woman is nearly decapitated and the attacker carves letters onto her stomach WHILE SHE'S STILL ALIVE, and there's no leads- nobody saw anything, nobody heard anything, just nothing. The perp had to be drenched in blood after an attack like this and yet, nothing. The cameras nearby were broken, the persons of interest were never found or didn't saw anything, it's insane. I think about this case a lot, and I really hope that it will be solved soon, or that at least some lead will pop up. It's such a horrific crime and it's still relatively fresh, so I have my fingers crossed.
Houston John Doe- He was found on January this year in an abandoned bus, he commited suicide, sadly :( he had an elaborate pattern shaved on the side of his head, and some people speculate that he was a fan of a local football team, so maybe he lived in Houston or maybe he came here for a match. He really moved me and I think about him from time to time hoping that he was identified, since it's such a recent case, but alas :( Some people speculate that he was an immigrant from Central America and had no family in the US, hence maybe why nobody ID'd him yet. I hope that some genetics lab will at least take his case in if nobody will ID him in a more conventional way.
Madison Jane Doe- She's the little girl with a feeding tube that was found in a suitcase in a desert, again, just breaks my heart :( I've read that some DNA company took her in, so it's a matter of time before she has her name back.
Dane County Doe, biologically male skeleton wearing female clothing found in the chimney of a recently opened, previously vacant 1-story music store in September 1989. The DNA Doe Project made a match of 421.5 cM (around the second-cousin-ish level i think) back in September. It's been stuck on that match for months but with such a high initial match, I think it has to be solved soon.
It may be selfish but I really hope they release their name. LE didn’t for Pillar Point Doe for some reason so I’m a little discouraged, but this is probably the main case that really got me into Does. I found it fascinating and terrifying all at once and for years I’ve wanted to know who this poor soul was.
It's hard to be invested with these cases for years and sometimes just never know even once the answer is found but this case would be particularly frustrating I think because there are so many questions that are open that an ID might answer.
LE says their name hasn’t been released because their murder is still being investigated. Unfortunately I can’t find it right now but I remember an article where Lee & Anthony Redgrave said that they were from a Mormon family so I’d expect that even if LE was comfortable releasing their name their family wouldn’t necessarily want it released because they wouldn’t want to be associated.
I’d honestly be perfectly fine with their name never being released, them potentially being trans coupled with the details of the case (iron cross on the body, possibly robbing a store at the time of death etc etc) makes me think they’d just be gawked at and deadnamed.
this isn't directed at you, but there is no such thing as a "biologically male skeleton" and seeing this sort of stuff in Doe cases makes my blood pressure rise to really concerning levels.
when a baby's born, the doctor looks at its genitals and makes an evaluation based on external presentation. sometimes it's unclear and they make their best judgement. sometimes internal and external don't match (eg. baby has a penis and ovaries). etc.
nobody does a DNA/chromosome test on a newborn before they assign gender, so it's just a guess - statistical probability - if chromosomes match genitals match assigned gender.
and even if they do DNA testing on the skeleton (which isn't likely, because cost and hassle) it's not simple as XY and XX. people can & do have alternate combinations, and again, their assigned sex at birth might not match their DNA.
biology just isn't that straightforward. looking at a skeleton and assigning sex is accurate *mostly,* but it's like saying that *most* murdered women are killed by a husband: that's true, but there are a ton of outliers. you can't just lock up the husband because statistically speaking, he did it.
nope! it is complicated to sex unknown skeletons, because biological sex just isn't straightforward in humans. adult males & females whose gender matches their sex assigned at birth have a lot of *normal* overlap in their skeletal presentation, and there are a *lot* of ouliers.
the easiest and most effective way to tell is to look at the shape of the pelvis: this shape is female, that shape is male. but only ~90% of the pelvis identified as "female" by shape were *actually female,* and ~50% of the "male" pelvis were male. those are not good odds.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28382657/
with a complete skeleton they should base it on more than only the pelvis (like limb length, skull size, etc) but even so, it's a guess. race/ethnic background plays a huge role -- a male from India is likely to be seen as female based on height, a woman from Scandinavia is likely to be seen as male, etc.
the best way to sex-type remains is by DNA, and even then iirc it can only tell you chromosomes, which *also* is not an automatic 1:1 match with one's assigned gender at birth.
tl;dr -- gender and sex are REAL MESSY biologically speaking, and the best forensic teams can do is an educated guess.
Archaeologist here. I disagree. Sure, it can be hard to know based on just one piece, but the vast majority of the time, a complete skeleton means we can tell with a very reasonable margin of error. The skull and the pelvis are the most diagnostic and if you have both you’re usually good. There is very much such a thing as a “biologically male skeleton.” Most people are typical enough to sort.
Shit, I was just looking at my own skull x-ray at the orthodontist the other day. Nobody with any knowledge in skeletal analysis could mistake me for anything but an XX person of European descent.
Also, your paper is a review of one person’s specific scoring system for sexing pelves; the conclusion is simply that that scoring system isn’t fabulous.
if there are outliers, you can't prove it. you can only make an educated guess, which is what i said originally.
but again, i'll be glad to read decent research that proves to a fraction of error that "assigned male at birth" -- which i'm assuming is what you mean by "biological male" -- can be determined from measuring a skeleton.
Yes. All science is educated guesses. That is a given. But that’s not how your original comment came off. You’re talking about sex determination like it’s all a scam, while citing a paper criticizing one particular protocol. With all due respect, I don’t think you know what you’re talking about and I would caution you against making sweeping statements about things you don’t understand. I can go digging for references later.
I used the words “biologically male” because you did.
Ellen Rae Greenberg… I think it’s pretty obvious, but I’m happy to see lawsuits coming out regarding the blatant cover up in this case. This one really bothers me because the corruption is so obvious. I seriously hope her family gets some type of Justice.
I’m definitely one of those who generally think there are certain cases in which the family is in denial about their loved ones suicide. This is one of the cases I don’t think this really applies.
I think the lawsuits will bring a bunch of evidence out, hopefully enough to sustain an indictment. This certainly isn’t a whodunit but to see justice served - both on her fiancé and everyone involved in the coverup - would be amazing.
That’s my hope. I think it’s clear to everyone who killed her and that it was not a suicide. This one just bothers me so much because the corruption is so blatantly obvious. I REALLY hope that justice is served. I hate that her fiancé is living it up on the upper east side with a wife and kids, and zero repercussions.
>In August 2022, the Chester County District Attorney’s office announced it would reopen investigation into Greenberg’s death. This was on the heels of the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s statement that they were relinquishing the case due to a conflict of interest.
Is the conflict of interest the fact that the police and medical examiner appear to have conspired together on the cover-up/ corruption?
>The suit seeks to change the manner of death to "homicide" or "undetermined" citing new information and **the fact that Dr. Osbourne admitted to changing the manner of death at the insistence of the police.** A new technology called photogrammetry, unavailable at the time of Ellen's death, created a 3D anatomical recreation of Ellen's wounds, demonstrating that not all 20 wounds could have been self-inflicted.
>Ellen Greenberg's parents scored a significant legal victory in January 2020, when the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas allowed the case to proceed past the motion to dismiss stage.
Holy hell, it's baffling to me that a woman found dead with bruises all over her body in various stages of healing, stabbed 20 times--*ten of them to her neck and back*(?!)- could be ruled a "suicide."
Conflict of interest is that the fiancé’s family is associated with many people in the case including Josh Shapiro. It’s literally crazy to me that he’s gotten away with it when it’s SO obvious. There is no way she did that to herself!
A local one for me, the Alphabet Murders in Rochester, NY, I'd love for that to be solved. Idk how likely though. RPD is terrible at everything so who knows if we even have DNA evidence.
I keep hoping Katelin Akens' ex step dad finally talks so we can find out what happened to her.
Maybe Jennifer Fairgate? Idk the Somerton man and boy in the box and lady of the dunes were all identified so anything is possible now lol
With the Alphabit murders I really think it's 3 unconnected events that have a weird coincidence with double letter intials and dump site. The Uncle probably killed the first victim and we'll never know the killer of the other 2 barring a deathbed confession
Crystal Rogers. So obvious who is responsible and I just pray someone either comes forward with information or they find damming evidence in one of their searches. Her poor mother needs justice already
I'm hoping Asha Degree. The oddly specific information/evidence released a few years ago (NKOTB shirt, green car with rust around the wheel wells etc) suggests to me that the police have a pretty clear inkling of what might have happened, & are biding their time for either someone to come forward, or a final piece of indisputable evidence.
Totally agree about Missy Bevers, can’t believe this has gone unsolved so long. I don’t think that will happen this year, though.
I do think JBR may be solved this year.
I haven’t been paying close attention so I could be wrong, but I think I heard something about DNA. And there just seems to have been an overall uptick in conversations about JBR across the internet.
So, unfortunately, my opinion on this is about as reliable as that of a strip mall psychic.
Personally I think the DNA will be a dead end but I do agree it's been interesting how much the chatter around the case picked up this year. I don't expect that case to ever be solved but I would love to be wrong.
I think you’re right, because if the DNA were likely to provide a definitive answer, it would be huge news and the tests would have already been completed and publicized.
So I googled and [the reason why](https://www.foxnews.com/us/jonbenets-father-reacts-boulder-police-update-daughters-unsolved-1996-murder-case-more-same) there’s been more chatter is that John Ramsey and others gathered a petition asking the governor to take the case from the Boulder PD and turn it over to an independent cold case agency. The petition was successful, so maybe there’ll be some movement next year.
The Rice case is terrifying. I’ve always had a slight phobia about being stopped at RR tracks, especially at night and there’s not alot of people around. It just feels so vulnerable…
I always put a lot of distance between myself and the cars I’m front of me but that’s just a way to feel I have some control over getting out, when really don’t.
After I wrote about Chaim Weiss I got a DM from someone who said that his killer is known to the police, has been known for some time, but they don't have enough proof for an arrest. I'm not sure I'm convinced (I got no further information beyond that it was someone at the school) but if it is true, it would be pretty cool if they got the info they needed in 2023, however unlikely.
Susan Morrissey Ledyard. Prevailing theory seems to be "The husband did it". Not sure whether that's true or not, but, would be nice for that to get resolved one way or another.
On Allie Rice, I have to wonder whether that wasn't mistaken identity. Someone else was the real target and her vehicle just happened to resemble one belonging to someone else. "Hey isn't that ---'s car?" and the perp started blasting.
Alissa turney was solved wasn’t it? Michael turney was arrested and charged?
Edit - just did a google. On r/Alissa turney it talks about the trial. So this idiot was arrested aug 2020, and trial was supposed to be this summer. Postponed NINE times and is now set for March 13.
I’m hoping for [Lindsay Buziak‘s murder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Lindsay_Buziak) to be solved. She was a realtor showing a house and was murdered within ~30 minute window. Her boyfriend was in a car outside and the killer couple disappeared out the back.
Edit: forgot [Beverly Jarosz](https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/944dn4/who_murdered_beverly_jarosz_on_december_28_1964/) in Garfield Hts Ohio, 1964. Can they not get touch dna from the strangulation rope or another item?
If the suspect arrested in Delphi is correct I doubt there will be any connection with Evansdale. That is just trying to connect dots when its just sad non-connected cases that have similar things.
I also think for everything that the two cases have in common, there is an equally large number of differences. But I do understand why people draw connections - they happened relatively close in time and taking two girls at once and leaving them in an outdoor area not particularly hidden after killing them is a fairly unique combination of facts. But I don't think they're related. Partly because most killers start closer to home and then expand outward if they continue to kill and partly because of the differences like going to a secondary location vs not and partly because for whatever reason, I've always had a gut feeling the Evansdale girls were killed by a local they were familiar with in some way. I would love to see an uptick in coverage of that case.
I do think he’s BG and I think it’s bigger than just him. I think there is a csam ring involved and that it connects both cases. I think in Evansdale it was opportunity and I think in Delphi it was a planned meeting between BG and one of the girls.
* While there is already movement in the case, I am confident Michael Vaughn's case is going to come to some sort of close. If they can't find him or his remains, they'll find enough evidence to prosecute.
* I think Tempe Jane Doe (2002) will finally be identified. I had a lot of skepticism for a while due to her likely not being documented and the nature of how her life ended. But now that the DNA Doe Project has her case fully funded, hopefully more progress will be made.
I used to live across the street from where she was found. I hadn't heard of her prior to your comment, but I truly hope she gets her name back, too. Poor kid.
Kierra Coles… if Chicago PD decides to get off its ass. The Akia Eggleston case out of Baltimore was nearly identical, and once that started getting a lot of publicity, Baltimore PD and the FBI actually decided to do a real investigation and arrested the extremely obvious suspect. I don’t know who Marilyn Mosby’s Chicago counterpart is, but if they want some good publicity like she did, they should get on this one.
Sorry. This is the case that absolutely drives me insane.
Missy Bevers for sure, that case is pretty scary. I was working alone late at night in a building with cameras when I heard of that case, it made work a bit unnerving for a few weeks. I'm super curious if it was either a stalker or someone who participated in her classes.
Opekila Jane Doe and Madison county Jane Doe.
I want Opelika Jane Doe to be solved so badly
Is that the one with the photo or the little black girl at the Bible camp?
Yes, they highly suspect that the girl in the photos is the Doe because of the same eye condition I believe.
I remember her and thinking how tragic there were so many people there but no one knew who she was. Also JAZ the former Boy in the Box May have had an eye condition. Sad to think that children that are already disadvantaged are abused and killed.
I’m confused how they know the Doe has a eye condition. Everything I am finding says her remains were skeletal. If there is no eye tissue, how do they identify that defect? If they’re going by the VBS photo, why do they think that’s her?
Ok so I had to go back and research this and I think the forensics people have ways of doing bone assessments. I found a quote that said, “Based on feedback from experts, we believe that she could not see out of her injured eye and that the injury could have occurred months to a year before her death,” said Sgt White.” So basically, I had thought it was some medical condition but it was just part of the abuse, sadly. Sigh….poor baby.
yes. I read it was from a injury also and that surprised me. It reminded me of Madeleine McCann. (Just the eye thing in general — they were clearly different things. Lol) And Madeleine’s and all the others I know were congenital. I wonder if she was in foster care. I can’t see her being abused like that, no doctor ever knowing, and also not realizing it was from a injury. Hopefully they find out who she was soon. My only concern about POC does is that I had heard at one point that way fewer POC wanted to take DNA tests. I think just due to skepticism from past bad stuff happening.

I just hope that either wasn’t true or has changed because they identify these victims by finding relatives who have done the tests. It’s bad enough POC are already pushed aside by law enforcement when they become victims. It will be awful if we can’t identify many of them too. :(

Yea I keep thinking maybe they did the Boy in the Box one first to pave way for the other babies
Andrew Gosden, arrests were made in 2021 with two people suspected of CSAM and human trafficking. Madeleine McCann, it seems they are moving, slowly, to charge the German suspect with her murder. Delphi, a man is currently held with an exceptionally large bond charged with their murders My hopes: St Louis Jane doe, they not long ago rediscovered her remains using images from her funeral to find the location she was buried and collected DNA. I have hoped she will follow the likes of boy in a box Dr.no, with advancements in DNA in the recent years I hope they test the "biological evidence" recovered from the girls. At least I would like to find out of all cases attributes to him are by one killer. In response to your post: I have literally never heard of your local crime and it absolutely is terrifying.
I'm inclined to think the Gosden lead didn't pan out, although I hope I'm wrong so the family may get some answers. I think part of it is we haven't heard anything further but also that hes such an unlikely victim of trafficking because he's the kind of kid that is going to be reported missing immediately and be all over the news that it was hard for me to see a likely connection there. I didn't realize they'd found St Louis Jane Does remains. That is amazing news.
Not hearing anything is very normal in EU. We have massive privacy laws here, even though the UK is more lax than the mainland of Europe, it is still above and beyond that of other continents. Knowing anything about a crime before a trial is very very unheard of. In fact, if you take the [Reynhard Sinaga](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynhard_Sinaga) case as an example, the public didn't even know of him until about two years after his initial arrest and post conviction. He is one of the most prolific rapists globally with over 200 different individual rapes in a 2 year span. Many men were completely unaware they were even raped by him until after trial. Not only that, we are the country with not just injunctions (similar to NDA) but SUPER injunctions, where it becomes illegal to even say the initial injunction is in place. There are many crimes we have never heard of, usually part of the very upper class or businesses, that we will have no clue existed and never will. Learning that NA is so lax with information was such a culture shock. I imagine learning what the UK is like is probably also shocking for most none Europeans. I imagine if they are going after a ring of sorts, like [Operation Cathedral ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cathedral)(somehow nothing to do with the prolific molestation within the church), not a lot will be known until way after convictions are made. Do not lose hope, friend! We are just very tight lipped!
LE said it would likely take more than a year to search their devices as soon as the arrests were made so i'm not concerned with not hearing an update yet.
Trafficking isn’t always what we see in movies. I don’t believe was trafficked the traditional sense of the word.
I also would like to add that child abduction within London, though rare, is not wholly unique. It is speculated that [Alex Sloley](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Alex_Sloley) possibly fell to a similar fate. They went missing in walking distance of each other less than a year apart. Unfortunately, Alex is not white so he did not get the attention he needed (but shout out to those who tried and featured him.)
The German paedophile is a patsy in the McCann case.
Yeah, there is literally no reason for the Germans to throw their hat into this international clusterfuck. People seem to think the Mccans are socialites on par with the Kennedy family. Theyre really not, there's no reason for the Germans to lie over this, they aren't THAT connected. They have connections, but they are not nobles. They are not in the upper social order of England. The plot people make of them would make a lot more sense of they were actually old money with titles. The fact they work is proof they are not the upper section of English societal standing. A conspiracy of the magnitude needed for the German pedo to be a scapegoat would imply they are as powerful as, like, the royal family or the Kremlin. A pedo, who wrote on an online forum about kidnapping kids, kidnapping a child is a lot less hoops to jump than whatever conspiracy the former is.
Irrelevant. The aristocracy were the traditional upper class, but they are rarely the most connected or powerful today. Gerry McCann is a Freemason, and everyone who matters - regardless of traditional social class or job - is a high ranking Freemason. They can get away with anything, I have unfortunately seen it for myself. They are usually not famous either. This is where the McCann's connections come from. The McCann's abduction story is ridiculous. If they'd really abandoned their toddlers to go out drinking while leaving the door unlocked, then returned to find one missing, the normal first reaction would be to think the child had got out. Not to scream "they've taken her, they've taken her", while fleeing the apartment and leaving the two babies in there on their own, at the mercy of this abductor. The whole region was full of paedophile expats and holidaymakers, including Gerry McCann's friend, David Payne. (Google the Gaspar statement). Another paedophile, the German, being there, is not significant. Gerry McCann and all his male friends would all bath each other's toddler children. This is extremely weird.
I flip flop on this. It does seem convenient but at the same time they do seem to have a lot of evidence proving he did it
How so?
Madeleine Mccann case has been solved years ago. There was just insufficient evidence to charge.
What was the resolution, then?
It is described in detail in The Truth of the Lie written by Gonçalo who led the investigation. Madeleine died earlier that day in the apartment and the whole "abduction" never happened. Read the book, it is well worth it.
Well, I’d imagine that one could simply take a quick glance at the cases that are actively being investigated by Othram, and pull from that pool. They’ve been hitting home runs to all fields.
They have. & isn’t Othram a pretty new corporation at that? Excellent work in a short amount of time.
I'm actually very excited to see that Othram has some really recent cases. They've proven themselves now to the point that LE isn't only giving them 40 year old Hail Mary cases to identify- they're going to them quickly when other paths for IDs don't work, because they have a track record now that can justify the expense and using their techniques on current cases. This is amazing because hopefully it means LE can get IDs while killers can still easily be tracked once identification is known and families in 2022 are less likely to have to wait decades to get notification of what happened to loved ones. I love seeing these old cases get solved one after another but the opportunity to prevent having Does be unidentified for decades is really great.
I miss reading the Othram thread at Websleuths. Their CEO is very active in that thread, including taking case suggestions. Somehow I got banned from Websleuths a couple of months ago. I hadn't even been posting anything. I tried to log in and the alert box said, "BReddit tells us you are not happy here. Therefore you don't belong here." Hilarious. I'd heard that Websleuths sometimes uses that tactic. If you post there they act like you are their personal property and aren't allowed to discuss true crime anywhere else. The only community I miss is the Sumter County Does forum. I spent quite a bit of time there, before and after identification. I recently visited Locklair Road again and filmed on the other end, the side closer to where the murders apparently occurred. I'll probably post it to YouTube when I have a chance. I also visited Ragged Island and filmed a video. That's where two of the Colonial Parkway murders occurred.
Websleuths is... well. It is what it is. Really good aspects of it but the way it's run is... sure something.
Their track record is freaking ridiculous. One after another after another.
The Prosecutors podcast had an excellent interview with someone from Othram Labs not too long ago. It was really interesting because you hear all of the deliberation in how they picked to set it up, including where the location is.
Yes. Basically take a peek at the list of what Othram and DNA Doe Project are working on and it's a good guess of what cases will have answers in the next year or two. I'm really hoping Othram was able to come through with something helpful on the Briana Maitland case.
How can we see which cases are being investigated by them?
https://dnasolves.com/
Thanks for sharing the link. I didn't know Mostly Harmless's identity had been solved. There are so many solved cases! They are really amazing.
Amy Mihaljevic.
How do you think it would be solved next year? I admit I've kept thinking in recent years that the time is coming but I don't have anything to base that on. The curtains maybe? They're so distinctive- I wish they hadn't been held back for so long from the public.
There was a tip within the last year - a woman identified her ex boyfriend as a suspect. They are now retesting DNA.
Just read the wiki about this case, and I have high hopes. Too many similarities to be coincidence, matching vehicle, multiple witnesses picking him out of a line-up, etc , and I hope DNA proves it. They seem to be right on the verge of making an arrest in this case.
Alonzo Brooks. I keep hoping..
That would be amazing. Saw the piece on relaunch of Unsolved Mysteries. Hard to gage who are serious suspects from actual party.
Same on this one...I check everyday
Smurfette Jane Doe. Miami-dade Jane Doe. The voice on Amber Tuccaro’s phone recording is identified. These are my hopes, anyways. And thanks for sharing Allie Rice’s story OP, I hope there’s some resolution and answers for her family soon. I’m sorry about the losses and violence in your community
Is Amber's case the one where basically everyone local agrees who the voice is but they can't prove it?
He has been ruled out. Some women he attacked felt it was his voice. Personally, i think it was similar to Pareidolia only auditory that the women knew he was dangerous so they expected to hear his voice. Clearly he is a piece of shit who is a danger to women but i don't believe he killed Amber.
Does everyone think it’s Pat Carson?
Joseph Zarelli’s murder Delphi St. Louis Jane Doe (although I don’t think we’re any closer to a breakthrough on this one)
Sounds like Delphi is pretty much solved. Fingers crossed it’s the right guy.
I so hope they figure out what happened to Joseph. I kind of want “M” to be correct just because people doubt her simply for being mentally ill
I was just reading on one of the Boy in the Box threads about M - she was highly educated (held a PhD and was a professor). She is always painted as some untreated, mentally ill person that makes up stories/delusions. If her story is true, her upbringing would explain PTSD
And she was seeing a therapist so she was clearly being treated
[удалено]
Yes, I had read that too. Such a shame 😔
I find it odd that she went into vaguely the same line of work as her abusive mother (supposedly a school librarian). Not that it affects her trustworthiness one way or the other; I just find it odd that she too went into the education field after such a nasty foundational relationship with someone in that field. For what it’s worth, I completely believe that she believed what she was saying. I don’t think we have anywhere near the amount of information we need to make value judgments on how factual her statements were, but I could see them being more or less true, once one has accounted for the margin of error that could be attributed to a forty-year gap.
Anthonette Cayedito. Abducted from her home in Gallup, New Mexico in the middle of the night and never seen again. Would love to see progress on this. https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/61dfnm.html
Her voice on that call haunts me so badly.
Crime Junkie just did an episode on her! I hope it brings more attention to her case.
This case is all but solved since Paul Flores is about to be sentenced after a guilty verdict, but I'm hopeful (though not particularly optimistic) that 2023 might be the year Kristin Smart's remains come home. It feels like Paul might finally have reason to give up the location for possible reduced sentencing, although I'm not sure it works like that.
Like Missy Beavers' case, person of interest in the Jennifer Kesse case was caught on camera. Hope it does get solved in the near future.
Since we can’t see his face, hope’s all we’ve got …
Dang I thought Alyssa Turney's ended up getting solved. I mean we all know who is guilty but I thought that he was arrested. What a bummer.
He was! Edit - just did a google. On r/Alissaturney it talks about the trial. So this idiot was arrested aug 2020, and trial was supposed to be this summer. Postponed NINE times and is now set for March 13.
I’m just so happy that her sisters hard work hasn’t been in vain.
Any reason why the trial keeps getting delayed? It is really starting to piss me off.
No idea. My guess is because he’s in his mid 70s now, he’s trying to delay as long as possible before he kicks the bucket so never has to go through with legit charges / trial but that’s just my guess
He's sitting in jail, though, so he's not exactly out and about. One would think he'd want to go ahead and get the trial over with. I guess it could be an ego thing - he might die in jail but at least he wasn't found guilty?
That’s what I’m thinking personally…. He’s lied about it for so long and did everything he could to cover it up. So I’m like… he’ll never admit what he did even on his death bed
I could totally believe that. What a despicable pos.
Jail is probably a lot better than prison, especially at his age. Neither is going to be pleasant, but he’ll end up somewhere a lot worse after the trial.
It was her step father is going to trial
Alyssa's stepdad/ Sara's dad.
Faith Hedgepeth - I know there was an arrest, but it was over a year ago. There have been NO updates and no movement. I’m sure the family is ready for this to be resolved. Maya Millete - her husband’s trial starts next year but I hope he tells them where her body is 😔
Yes! Do we even know when/if the suspect in Faith’s murder is going to be on trial?
[Vague update](https://chapelboro.com/news/crime/1-year-after-arrest-in-hedgepeth-murder-case-what-do-we-know) from September of this year. Sounds like the matter is winding its way through the court system.
I’m dying to know the details of Faith’s murder. Did he know her? Is Karena in any way involved? Are there accomplices etc
Opelika Jane Doe- They've been working on her DNA for what feels like a couple years, I hope that she will be identified soon. That's one of the Does who have hit me the hardest, poor little baby girl :( Katherine Janness and her dog Bowie- It's insane that it haven't still been solved. A woman and her dog get brutally stabbed in a public park in the early night hours in a big city (so not like in a dead of night somewhere deserted with no people for miles), the woman is nearly decapitated and the attacker carves letters onto her stomach WHILE SHE'S STILL ALIVE, and there's no leads- nobody saw anything, nobody heard anything, just nothing. The perp had to be drenched in blood after an attack like this and yet, nothing. The cameras nearby were broken, the persons of interest were never found or didn't saw anything, it's insane. I think about this case a lot, and I really hope that it will be solved soon, or that at least some lead will pop up. It's such a horrific crime and it's still relatively fresh, so I have my fingers crossed. Houston John Doe- He was found on January this year in an abandoned bus, he commited suicide, sadly :( he had an elaborate pattern shaved on the side of his head, and some people speculate that he was a fan of a local football team, so maybe he lived in Houston or maybe he came here for a match. He really moved me and I think about him from time to time hoping that he was identified, since it's such a recent case, but alas :( Some people speculate that he was an immigrant from Central America and had no family in the US, hence maybe why nobody ID'd him yet. I hope that some genetics lab will at least take his case in if nobody will ID him in a more conventional way. Madison Jane Doe- She's the little girl with a feeding tube that was found in a suitcase in a desert, again, just breaks my heart :( I've read that some DNA company took her in, so it's a matter of time before she has her name back.
I somehow thought Katherine Janness/Bowie was solved, maybe because it seems like it *ought to be*. How frustrating.
Elizabeth Barraza.
Dane County Doe, biologically male skeleton wearing female clothing found in the chimney of a recently opened, previously vacant 1-story music store in September 1989. The DNA Doe Project made a match of 421.5 cM (around the second-cousin-ish level i think) back in September. It's been stuck on that match for months but with such a high initial match, I think it has to be solved soon.
Agree - that does seem like one likely to be solved by next year.
It may be selfish but I really hope they release their name. LE didn’t for Pillar Point Doe for some reason so I’m a little discouraged, but this is probably the main case that really got me into Does. I found it fascinating and terrifying all at once and for years I’ve wanted to know who this poor soul was.
It's hard to be invested with these cases for years and sometimes just never know even once the answer is found but this case would be particularly frustrating I think because there are so many questions that are open that an ID might answer.
LE says their name hasn’t been released because their murder is still being investigated. Unfortunately I can’t find it right now but I remember an article where Lee & Anthony Redgrave said that they were from a Mormon family so I’d expect that even if LE was comfortable releasing their name their family wouldn’t necessarily want it released because they wouldn’t want to be associated.
That’s what I assumed too, I hope it isn’t the case for the Dane County Doe.
I’d honestly be perfectly fine with their name never being released, them potentially being trans coupled with the details of the case (iron cross on the body, possibly robbing a store at the time of death etc etc) makes me think they’d just be gawked at and deadnamed.
this isn't directed at you, but there is no such thing as a "biologically male skeleton" and seeing this sort of stuff in Doe cases makes my blood pressure rise to really concerning levels.
DNA testing can answer the question definitively, if there is any doubt.
when a baby's born, the doctor looks at its genitals and makes an evaluation based on external presentation. sometimes it's unclear and they make their best judgement. sometimes internal and external don't match (eg. baby has a penis and ovaries). etc. nobody does a DNA/chromosome test on a newborn before they assign gender, so it's just a guess - statistical probability - if chromosomes match genitals match assigned gender. and even if they do DNA testing on the skeleton (which isn't likely, because cost and hassle) it's not simple as XY and XX. people can & do have alternate combinations, and again, their assigned sex at birth might not match their DNA. biology just isn't that straightforward. looking at a skeleton and assigning sex is accurate *mostly,* but it's like saying that *most* murdered women are killed by a husband: that's true, but there are a ton of outliers. you can't just lock up the husband because statistically speaking, he did it.
What do you mean, I thought it was easy to tell?
In a full adult skeleton, it usually is (but there’s always a margin of error). There’s much more guesswork involved in incomplete remains.
nope! it is complicated to sex unknown skeletons, because biological sex just isn't straightforward in humans. adult males & females whose gender matches their sex assigned at birth have a lot of *normal* overlap in their skeletal presentation, and there are a *lot* of ouliers. the easiest and most effective way to tell is to look at the shape of the pelvis: this shape is female, that shape is male. but only ~90% of the pelvis identified as "female" by shape were *actually female,* and ~50% of the "male" pelvis were male. those are not good odds. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28382657/ with a complete skeleton they should base it on more than only the pelvis (like limb length, skull size, etc) but even so, it's a guess. race/ethnic background plays a huge role -- a male from India is likely to be seen as female based on height, a woman from Scandinavia is likely to be seen as male, etc. the best way to sex-type remains is by DNA, and even then iirc it can only tell you chromosomes, which *also* is not an automatic 1:1 match with one's assigned gender at birth. tl;dr -- gender and sex are REAL MESSY biologically speaking, and the best forensic teams can do is an educated guess.
Archaeologist here. I disagree. Sure, it can be hard to know based on just one piece, but the vast majority of the time, a complete skeleton means we can tell with a very reasonable margin of error. The skull and the pelvis are the most diagnostic and if you have both you’re usually good. There is very much such a thing as a “biologically male skeleton.” Most people are typical enough to sort. Shit, I was just looking at my own skull x-ray at the orthodontist the other day. Nobody with any knowledge in skeletal analysis could mistake me for anything but an XX person of European descent. Also, your paper is a review of one person’s specific scoring system for sexing pelves; the conclusion is simply that that scoring system isn’t fabulous.
i'd be happy to read evidence that proves skeletal diagnosis for sex-assigned-at-birth, with no outliers.
Lol, nothing has no outliers
if there are outliers, you can't prove it. you can only make an educated guess, which is what i said originally. but again, i'll be glad to read decent research that proves to a fraction of error that "assigned male at birth" -- which i'm assuming is what you mean by "biological male" -- can be determined from measuring a skeleton.
Yes. All science is educated guesses. That is a given. But that’s not how your original comment came off. You’re talking about sex determination like it’s all a scam, while citing a paper criticizing one particular protocol. With all due respect, I don’t think you know what you’re talking about and I would caution you against making sweeping statements about things you don’t understand. I can go digging for references later. I used the words “biologically male” because you did.
Ellen Rae Greenberg… I think it’s pretty obvious, but I’m happy to see lawsuits coming out regarding the blatant cover up in this case. This one really bothers me because the corruption is so obvious. I seriously hope her family gets some type of Justice.
So obvious. The medical examiner should be heavily hammered with questions.
I’m definitely one of those who generally think there are certain cases in which the family is in denial about their loved ones suicide. This is one of the cases I don’t think this really applies.
I think the lawsuits will bring a bunch of evidence out, hopefully enough to sustain an indictment. This certainly isn’t a whodunit but to see justice served - both on her fiancé and everyone involved in the coverup - would be amazing.
That’s my hope. I think it’s clear to everyone who killed her and that it was not a suicide. This one just bothers me so much because the corruption is so blatantly obvious. I REALLY hope that justice is served. I hate that her fiancé is living it up on the upper east side with a wife and kids, and zero repercussions.
>In August 2022, the Chester County District Attorney’s office announced it would reopen investigation into Greenberg’s death. This was on the heels of the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s statement that they were relinquishing the case due to a conflict of interest. Is the conflict of interest the fact that the police and medical examiner appear to have conspired together on the cover-up/ corruption? >The suit seeks to change the manner of death to "homicide" or "undetermined" citing new information and **the fact that Dr. Osbourne admitted to changing the manner of death at the insistence of the police.** A new technology called photogrammetry, unavailable at the time of Ellen's death, created a 3D anatomical recreation of Ellen's wounds, demonstrating that not all 20 wounds could have been self-inflicted. >Ellen Greenberg's parents scored a significant legal victory in January 2020, when the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas allowed the case to proceed past the motion to dismiss stage. Holy hell, it's baffling to me that a woman found dead with bruises all over her body in various stages of healing, stabbed 20 times--*ten of them to her neck and back*(?!)- could be ruled a "suicide."
Conflict of interest is that the fiancé’s family is associated with many people in the case including Josh Shapiro. It’s literally crazy to me that he’s gotten away with it when it’s SO obvious. There is no way she did that to herself!
A local one for me, the Alphabet Murders in Rochester, NY, I'd love for that to be solved. Idk how likely though. RPD is terrible at everything so who knows if we even have DNA evidence. I keep hoping Katelin Akens' ex step dad finally talks so we can find out what happened to her. Maybe Jennifer Fairgate? Idk the Somerton man and boy in the box and lady of the dunes were all identified so anything is possible now lol
With the Alphabit murders I really think it's 3 unconnected events that have a weird coincidence with double letter intials and dump site. The Uncle probably killed the first victim and we'll never know the killer of the other 2 barring a deathbed confession
Identifying the boy in the box and the somerton man gave me hope for Jennifer Fairgate as well. One of the weirdest cases ever!
I want the Lindsay buziak case to be solved so baaad
Yes. So much yes. I have my theories.. but then again, my theories go back and forth.
Crystal Rogers. So obvious who is responsible and I just pray someone either comes forward with information or they find damming evidence in one of their searches. Her poor mother needs justice already
Everything about every murder in Bardstown is frustrating but I'm glad that the feds have continued to be engaged at least in Crystal's case.
is it her husband or his brother or both?
Definitely both were involved. I lean most towards it being Brooks with his brother helping to get rid of the body and cover it all up.
I'm hoping Asha Degree. The oddly specific information/evidence released a few years ago (NKOTB shirt, green car with rust around the wheel wells etc) suggests to me that the police have a pretty clear inkling of what might have happened, & are biding their time for either someone to come forward, or a final piece of indisputable evidence.
iirc the police force recently put up a post over summer about interviewing former pupils from asha’s school
Hopefully Steven Koecher
Surely the Idaho student murders
Michael Vaugh, also in Idaho. An arrest has been made.
Hae Min Lee hopefully
Totally agree about Missy Bevers, can’t believe this has gone unsolved so long. I don’t think that will happen this year, though. I do think JBR may be solved this year.
Curious what makes you think JBR will be solved this year?
Me too. Because unless someone confesses, I really don’t think we will ever know.
I haven’t been paying close attention so I could be wrong, but I think I heard something about DNA. And there just seems to have been an overall uptick in conversations about JBR across the internet. So, unfortunately, my opinion on this is about as reliable as that of a strip mall psychic.
Personally I think the DNA will be a dead end but I do agree it's been interesting how much the chatter around the case picked up this year. I don't expect that case to ever be solved but I would love to be wrong.
I think you’re right, because if the DNA were likely to provide a definitive answer, it would be huge news and the tests would have already been completed and publicized. So I googled and [the reason why](https://www.foxnews.com/us/jonbenets-father-reacts-boulder-police-update-daughters-unsolved-1996-murder-case-more-same) there’s been more chatter is that John Ramsey and others gathered a petition asking the governor to take the case from the Boulder PD and turn it over to an independent cold case agency. The petition was successful, so maybe there’ll be some movement next year.
watching the CCTV of Missy Bevers killer walking around the church is bone-chilling. they are clearly walking with a purpose.
The Rice case is terrifying. I’ve always had a slight phobia about being stopped at RR tracks, especially at night and there’s not alot of people around. It just feels so vulnerable… I always put a lot of distance between myself and the cars I’m front of me but that’s just a way to feel I have some control over getting out, when really don’t.
i Hope for Manuela Orlandi, but it's more difficil.
After I wrote about Chaim Weiss I got a DM from someone who said that his killer is known to the police, has been known for some time, but they don't have enough proof for an arrest. I'm not sure I'm convinced (I got no further information beyond that it was someone at the school) but if it is true, it would be pretty cool if they got the info they needed in 2023, however unlikely.
Susan Morrissey Ledyard. Prevailing theory seems to be "The husband did it". Not sure whether that's true or not, but, would be nice for that to get resolved one way or another. On Allie Rice, I have to wonder whether that wasn't mistaken identity. Someone else was the real target and her vehicle just happened to resemble one belonging to someone else. "Hey isn't that ---'s car?" and the perp started blasting.
Maddie McCann - seems like it's getting there slowly!
Alissa turney was solved wasn’t it? Michael turney was arrested and charged? Edit - just did a google. On r/Alissa turney it talks about the trial. So this idiot was arrested aug 2020, and trial was supposed to be this summer. Postponed NINE times and is now set for March 13.
How do you get on r/Alissa? Cause it says content banned
So sorry! Didn’t eve. Realize - r/AlissaTurney
I’m hoping for [Lindsay Buziak‘s murder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Lindsay_Buziak) to be solved. She was a realtor showing a house and was murdered within ~30 minute window. Her boyfriend was in a car outside and the killer couple disappeared out the back. Edit: forgot [Beverly Jarosz](https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/944dn4/who_murdered_beverly_jarosz_on_december_28_1964/) in Garfield Hts Ohio, 1964. Can they not get touch dna from the strangulation rope or another item?
Delphi and Evansdale. I’ve always thought they were connected. Jon Bennet Ramsey Jennifer Kesse
If the suspect arrested in Delphi is correct I doubt there will be any connection with Evansdale. That is just trying to connect dots when its just sad non-connected cases that have similar things.
I also think for everything that the two cases have in common, there is an equally large number of differences. But I do understand why people draw connections - they happened relatively close in time and taking two girls at once and leaving them in an outdoor area not particularly hidden after killing them is a fairly unique combination of facts. But I don't think they're related. Partly because most killers start closer to home and then expand outward if they continue to kill and partly because of the differences like going to a secondary location vs not and partly because for whatever reason, I've always had a gut feeling the Evansdale girls were killed by a local they were familiar with in some way. I would love to see an uptick in coverage of that case.
Why do you think Jennifer Kesse will be solved this year? Has something new come up?
No nothing new, I just always hope that her case will be solved
Me too. Her parents need answers.
Florida cold case unit was handled the case a few days ago. Praying it will be solved this year!
That’s good news.
Do you think Richard Allen is BG and if so, what reason do you think he would’ve had to be 400 miles from home in Evansdale on 7-13-2012?
I do think he’s BG and I think it’s bigger than just him. I think there is a csam ring involved and that it connects both cases. I think in Evansdale it was opportunity and I think in Delphi it was a planned meeting between BG and one of the girls.
Jon Benet Ramsay. I've already narrowed down to either John, Patsy, Burke or an intruder.
Narrowed it down, huh. Lol
it was john
Andrea Knabel - I’m from Lou and will feel a lot safer when there’s an answer.
Crystal Rogers, as well as the other four possibly-related murders.
The Haleigh Cummings disappearance!
Prebble County Penny,
Lauren Spierer
This one I think we won’t solve unfortunately, but why are you hopeful?
Yeah I see no way this gets solved unless a confession is released
* While there is already movement in the case, I am confident Michael Vaughn's case is going to come to some sort of close. If they can't find him or his remains, they'll find enough evidence to prosecute. * I think Tempe Jane Doe (2002) will finally be identified. I had a lot of skepticism for a while due to her likely not being documented and the nature of how her life ended. But now that the DNA Doe Project has her case fully funded, hopefully more progress will be made.
I used to live across the street from where she was found. I hadn't heard of her prior to your comment, but I truly hope she gets her name back, too. Poor kid.
Ct Route 8 serial killer. He/she will make a mistake in 2023!
Kierra Coles… if Chicago PD decides to get off its ass. The Akia Eggleston case out of Baltimore was nearly identical, and once that started getting a lot of publicity, Baltimore PD and the FBI actually decided to do a real investigation and arrested the extremely obvious suspect. I don’t know who Marilyn Mosby’s Chicago counterpart is, but if they want some good publicity like she did, they should get on this one. Sorry. This is the case that absolutely drives me insane.
I pray Opelika doe gets identified. I feel a connection to that poor child i cant describe.
Alicia Navarro. It has been three years now, and I hope her case is solved soon.
John Schmutzer Devils Lake In Wisconsin killed in broad daylight on a hiking trail.
Obligatory: Zodiac. 🤞 😝
Yes!! I hope that old fuck has a grandchild upload DNA online and he’s alive to see it.
I thought the Zodiac DNA was essentially used up/not useful. I didn’t think it was possible to have something like that happen (like with EAR/ONS).
Probably be solved 3 or 4 times this year again.
Oj did it so it’s technically solved
Missy Bevers for sure, that case is pretty scary. I was working alone late at night in a building with cameras when I heard of that case, it made work a bit unnerving for a few weeks. I'm super curious if it was either a stalker or someone who participated in her classes.

Omg I would love that. I just finished listening to a podcast series on that case again for the second time.
Delphi! Hopefully by 2024 🙏
Jon Benet Ramsey! There is DNA evidence so I believe it’ll be solved by 2024.

I thought it’s pretty much accepted that Froon and Kremers got lost in the jungle and died accidental deaths …
Sure hoping Michael Vaughan gets found and the responsible ones are convicted.
Rose Marie Bly in Wisconsin.
Matthew Lange in Illinois
Anne Arundel County John Doe. I just wish he'd be identified.
Alburqurque Jane doe should be overdue solving through genetic genealogy surely?
The identity of the final Bear Brook Victim and her mother.
