[findcarrie]

Laura Bible and Ashley freeman vanished from Welsh Oklahoma on December 30, 1999. These two young ladies disappeared under real questionable circumstances. There had been a fire that night and once the fire was extinguished the police found the bodies of Kathy and Danny Freeman.

A year prior to the house fire and disappearance of Bible and Freeman, an accidental shooting/suicide was being contested regarding Danny Freeman's son. It was believed he was killed by police and did not shoot himself. This case was featured on Unsolved Mysteries. These two young ladies are still missing.

A planned search for the remains of two Oklahoma girls missing for more than five years will be fruitless, the man accused of killing them said.

Authorities plan to scour four trash-filled mining pits in Kansas for Ashley Freeman and Lauria Bible, 16-year-old friends who disappeared from Craig County, Okla., in December 1999.

Investigators say the locations were chosen because of a confession by suspect Jeremy Jones. But Jones told the Joplin Globe he has never killed anyone and detectives will find nothing in their search.

"Let 'em go try to find something," Jones said in a phone interview. "Man, they're wasting their time."

Craig County Sheriff Jimmie Sooter has said Jones admitted taking the girls from Welch, Okla., to southeastern Kansas, where he shot them and threw the bodies in a pit.

Authorities in Oklahoma and Kansas are still gearing up to sift through years of trash dumped down four mining pits near Galena.

In Alabama, they're preparing to drain a swamp.

One thing is for certain about suspected serial killer Jeremy Jones' purported "confessions": They are time-consuming and expensive to check out. But, apparently plausible enough to the investigators who have talked with him to warrant both the time and the expense.

Still, one has to wonder about the credibility of a man who told the Globe in a telephone interview on Friday night that the searchers are not going to find the bodies of two missing Oklahoma girls in the mining pits where he purportedly told them to look.

I have followed this case since it happened. Not in depth though. There are alot of weird things, in my opinion, going on here. Welch, Oklahoma is not a great place in way of the LE. Many rumors have circled this area about this case which I won't get into, but what really bothers me is I was excited when they were saying that they would be searching in Kansas. But then, NOTHING. Not a report of if they did search. Not a news report saying that nothing/anything was found. This really makes me sad.

It is sad to think that this may never be solved. My husbands cousin also came up missing from a small town in rural oklahoma 30 years ago. I think the hardest part is the not knowing. You know in your heart they are gone, but you always wonder. It seems so unfair that someone got away with murder.

My heart goes out them,

Bumping for Lauira and Ashley. Hopefully there will be updates soon.

I taught a couple of Lauria's close relatives at a small college here in NE OK. Fine, fine people. I'm sure that I would have gotten to teach Lauria too.

And, to bump this one more time, people in this area---I live about fifteen minutes from Welch---don't think Jeremy Jones had a thing to do with it. He's a monster, yes, but the time-frame wasn't right that night, plus he wouldn't have had the wherewithal to manage this heinous crime. Sadly, I think it's safe to say that the events of that night will never be fully known, and that the crime will go unsolved. The role of LE in the crimes---murder, arson, kidnapping---and their aftermath have been deeply questioned. It's a case that should be better-known among sleuthers, because the details are quite interesting, not only about the crime itself but also what happened afterwards. And, years afterwards and not so long ago, there was another double-murder in rural Welch. It, too, has gone unsolved.

I too, have had loved ones murdered. One was murdered more than 25 years ago and this murder was solved. Another loved one was murdered over 30 years ago and this murder has never been solved. I think the not knowing is very hard to deal with. We are left wondering what happened, who did it, and most of all Why.......
