I think the newpaper article said they were shot with a 22 Caliber rifle. Also, there were witnesses that were passing on the highway. Man that was shot was a truck driver that saw the women struggling with the killer and stopped to help them and got shot when he got out of his truck according...

Sorry Pecos45, I wasn't trying to say that there animosity between counties just that they didn't have anything like CODIS in 1957 or 1961. Heck I am not sure that local agencies were able to communicate that effectively unless they actually met and discussed the cases did they?

The one observation that I have on the whole investigative process in this case is that there was too many fingers in the pie from the get go. There was the retired FBI Agent, New Mexico State Police, Carlsbad City Police, and the ECSO but there doesn't seem to have been one single agency that...

Did Sunshine 1950 ever find out the location that Deputy Sillas thinks that the girls were picked up from on Church St.? I would be interested in this since I grew up in Carlsbad and I know that when I got my driver's license in 1965 Church St. was the main drag and on a Friday night there...

Justthinkin, If you are referring to the two women killed on Hwy 62/180 thirty miles east of Carlsbad this was in Lea County and I would think that the autopsies on these women were performed in Hobbs. From what I have seen I don't think there was a great deal of cooperation or communications...

Didn't I read in one of the newspaper articles on Deputy McGrew's death that he had been advised by his doctor to see a specialist in El Paso? That could mean that he had some type of serious illness, and in 1961 if you were diagnosed with something like cancer it wasn't anywhere near as...

Pecos, I agree with your thoughts but have a couple of questions about the scenario that you present. This is a question that I have had since I started reading all the postings; if the girls were alive when they got to the road leading to the murder/dump site why didn't they jump out and run...

Tom I agree with you that the site was a matter of convenience. If you had a map and you followed from WDB's address on Texas St. you will find that there is one stop sign between that address and the truck by-pass which leads directly to Hwy 285 and is only about five miles from the site...

The area that the girls were found is rock with very little dirt covering the rock. You can see the strata of rock from the cuts made for the highway. That is the reason that it surprises me that someone with three bald tires would take a car off the main road in that area since the rocks are...

Another thing that I noted was that in Officer Melvin Miller's report (Posting #139) he states that tire tread outside to outside was 5'5" and inside to inside was 4'6" which means that from center of hub to center of hub was 4'11-1/2". Even if this measurement was off by an 1/8" LE should be...

I know this is kind of late in the ball game to bring some of this up and it may be that I have just missed the answers in the postings since I have only been able to visit this site sporadically. Then again the questions that keep nagging me might not even be relevant, but here they are: 1...

Charles Feezer did not commit suicide, he died of a massive heart attack while exercising.

Can it be determined from the direction of the wounds whether the shooter was right or left handed and how that fits with DB and others?

I thought that it was David who lived on Texas St. when Mr. Smith on Standpipe Rd. turned him in for shooting near his house. If indeed it was the parents that lived on Texas St. then that also makes sense because Texas St goes out to the Truck By-Pass that intersects Hwy. 285 just south of the...

The one thing that I find interesting is that if you follow the direction of the vehicle as given by Mr. Brunnel about the car turning right or west on Bonbright St. Then it is a straight run up Bonbright St. to N. Olive and WB & AB's house is the third house to the north. This is a time...
