Having read the recent articles that have come out of the documentary, anger at her father is very plausible. If it’s true that Ruth had been led to believe her birth mother died in an accident, it must have been very upsetting to discover it was actually suicide and, from Ruth’s...

Yes, I was thinking isotope tests would be great in this case given that he could really be from anywhere. It would help narrow things down. Yes, very possible he got rid of the passport, perhaps even shortly before he died. If it was a suicide perhaps he intentionally destroyed it (as the...

I've been giving this one more thought today and have come to the conclusion that it is unlikely this man is from the British Isles, unless he has had no family looking for him over the last two decades. If he had family in the UK who have been missing him they would surely have found his photo...

The old administrative county of West Glamorgan used to cover the Swanesa/Port Talbot area, rather than Cardiff. Coincidentally that administrative area was abolished on 1st April 1996, a month and a half before this doe was found. I wonder if he had acquired the Utopia book not long before...

That Brian Kittle would have been 14 (nearly 15) when Melissa disappeared. There is actually another Brian Kittle currently living in Pensacola but he is five years older than Melissa. I think he must be Melissa's boyfriend and the article got his age wrong, meaning he had just turned 20 when...

It seems her boyfriend was, and remains, a person of interest. http://inweekly.net/wordpress/?p=10673 I wonder who the other "witnesses" are and what they said. I doubt there were any witnesses other than the boyfriend to Melissa's alleged disappearance. It would be interesting to know more...

I agree, Alleykins. The hunter finding a body that might have been Cathy and then being unable to find it again is so frustrating. I do wonder whether the remains were Cathy's. Other than the remains being found in Maine, the only other thing linking them to Cathy is this supposed sighting of...

Sadly Cathy's father died in January aged 92, without ever having had a resolution to what happened to Cathy. http://obituaries.pressherald.com/obituaries/mainetoday-pressherald/obituary.aspx?n=lyman-l-moulton&pid=183720252

Cynthia Gooding - http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/g/gooding_cynthia.html She'd turned 16 a month before she disappeared in August 1974, weighted 100lbs & was 5'2. Marathon, where Cynthia disappeared from, is down at the very bottom of Florida, straight down the coast from North Palm Beach...

Still thinking about this case. Another factor that makes me think Laureen didn’t run away or run off with somebody is the fact that she had friends over to the apartment to drink the night she disappeared. If she was going to run away, why bother inviting them over? Who has friends over...

I personally don't think it is her either due to the distance and time between Angela’s disappearance and this doe’s death but it bugs me that Tammy Akers was run against this doe when I can’t see that she has any similarities to her, whereas Angela does and they disappeared...

I also thought of Marylou Bostwick, although she is a little younger than this doe supposedly was. However it does say "May have appeared older than her real age" for the doe on Namus and the timings and hair color match with Marylou, as does the height. Geographically they are fairly close too...

The thing that makes me think it wasn't a voluntary disappearance are the unscrewed lightbulbs on all three floors of the apartment building. It's just such a weird thing to do and I can't think of a good reason for why anybody would do it unless they specifically wanted to make sure they...

Interesting that Tammy Akers has been ruled out yet her friend, whom she supposedly ran away with, Angela Rader, hasn't. I personally think Angela looks a lot more like this doe than Tammy and a lot of her statstics match up, although the murder occurred over three and a half years after they...

It's interesting that so much of this thread focuses on the possbility of *advertiser censored* or child prostitution when there's actually not very much concrete evidence to point to it or that Laureen was ever even in California. It feels like starting at the end and working the story back from there to...
