Too bad they don't say why the tires were flat. Released valves versus slashed tires is probably known but perhaps not released. I suppose it's remotely possible she drove through an alley or something littered with nails etc. Or she regularly drove on them low and they went kaput. But it sounds...

Re: Human Remains Found Near Ice Pond Road In Putnam County ... Almost 3/4 of a century on, I guess anything is worth a look, and it wouldn't tax resources. Connie will likely be autorun against this Doe anyway. But she was 10, and far below the oldest estimate. Even going with the youngest...

I'd think extensive high quality dental work might be recognized by the person who performed it, and certainly worth a check, at least locally. Somewhere she has significant charting and x-rays. Since when is 45-60 y/o "elderly"? Staying with the facts helps these cases not get passed over with...

This is fairly accessible to I-84, but I'd think whoever put her there had some working knowledge of the back roads. This area is heavily wooded, and one could be there quite awhile in the wee hours without worry of seeing another person. A body wouldn't have to be far from the road, or even...

Not to backcomb this point, but if other sites are to be believed, this wasn't just a comb. Not sure if it was sentimental to her, but it may have been a big deal at the time. Much like getting ears pierced was a rite of passage to some, a brand like Mason Pearson would've been tres. Esp in...

She was 20 in 1981, Pig was for 1959. But it also represents wealth, good fortune, etc.

That's a good point. HE could have walked to the park, but met someone who came by car, which would considerably widen the suspect pool. But it still feels like he walked somewhere local to see someone/do something local. If the former, perhaps they usually met in the park (the time would help...

I'm going with b. She knew she may have been seen, and that's all it would take. Especially with someone who may have been 'clever' (or lucky) enough to write or dictate the letter "signed" by RA, that also found a way to leave the car at the mall. Even in the early 70s she'd have known...

I agree, and have said as much in my prior posts...namely that he stopped somewhere to say he wouldn't make it at the time set, so was stopping earlier. For the employees, my point was to keep all avenues open. Awful situation all the way around.

Me neither. I think in this case it's correlated rather than causal. He was headed to the school (on foot), because of work. It stands to reason that maybe he stopped that day at wherever he was going on his more recent evening walks. On the other hand, I'd still check if the employees who were...

I'm thinking of an outside page, which may have been created by a verified insider on this thread. There was a lot of detail on the other site, which I don't think would be accepted here. IIRC, that is where a lot of the jewelry, comb, and more family details came in. In terms of verified...

I'd love to have seen dog searches in this area when the brother came forward in 2007. Lots of private property, and signs posted everywhere, which makes sense considering the "Wishing Rock" is practically in the backyard. 1976 is a long time ago, but always that possibility bones will surface...

It'd be interesting to get the brother's take. It's entirely possible Jason stopped somewhere on his way to the school on behalf of his brother, or in regards to something having to do with his brother. Responsible or not, he'd potentially take a brief detour for a family member. Does anyone...

That's always been my interpretation. I haven't read anywhere there were footprints THROUGH the house to her room, in which case not only is it more likely even 1 person in a full house would stir, let alone the dog alert. I think the abductor came TO the window, possibly lost an already loose...

Agreed. I'm just looking at all possibilities. Especially if all unconfirmed aspects (did her mother even take her to the bus? did she really wear another person's coat?) are removed. Including whether her brother said anything at all. So, in essence, all WE have is she disappeared from...
