I like to use the phrase I am a foreigner because that is what I am and I come from a small country and I am sure there are some distances between the towns but the I70 Killer definitely struck in Missouri and likely as far afield as Texas. I am not saying he is responsible for all the crimes but we know he was active in Missouri and by his very moniker the I70Killer liked to travel and drive. One of the detectives said the I70 Killer had come to their town for no other purpose than to kill.

Like I say there are of course likely more than one offender in these cases as they are numerous. Just want to make the point the I70 Killer travelled great distances and through a number of states during his short but prolific crime spree of the known crimes associated with him. The Angela Hammond murder is one that sticks in the mind from Unsolved Mysteries as she was pregnant and there was the car chase involving her boyfriend. Of course very nasty as they all are. I do not know who the offender was but in my opinion like the I70 Killer he seemed to have the luck of the Devil on his side:

Here is the suspect sketch in the Angela Hammond case:

Angela Marie Hammond: Disappeared in 1991 ~True Crime Diva


Here is the suspect sketch from the case where I believe the I70 Killer may have kidnapped a victim

Of course I was not there at the time and would have tried to stop the crimes if I was. I do not know who killed Angela Hammond or kidnapped the other victim but I am as certain as I can be the pock marked Ralph Leon Jackson was the offender known as the I70 Killer.

Hello. You can find the thread here. I forgot where new threads were posted.

MO - MO - Could These Abductions and Murders of Females Be Connected?

Missouri is a rural state, with few high-profile cases (aside from Shawn Hornbeck). But in the same areas, there seem to be abduction or murder cases that seem identical.

Is it possible that these abductions and murders could have been committed by the same culprit? NOTE: I am NOT saying they are all definitely connected, I am saying they MAY be connected.

1990 – Katherine Baker, 30, was last seen on the 14th or 15th April 1990 in North Kansas City. Her body was found on 19th April. She may have visited bars in the North Kansas City area prior to her disappearance.

A scream was heard sometime after that and her bicycle was found later that evening. Missing.

1991 – Angela Hammons, 20, was last seen in Clinton, Missouri, on 4th April 1991. She was talking in a telephone booth to her fiancée. A ‘filthy bearded man’ apparently came out with a flashlight.

Witnesses near the crime scene said they saw a man with coveralls and a dark baseball cap at the site. Missing.

I decided these cases, or at least some, could be connected. These were all young women, most of them in their teens, (the average age is 19) with some of these cases indicating an abduction. Some were heard screaming and some got into vehicles.

Some were seen leaving work, some going to or from friend’s houses or school. 12 of these 17 incidents took place between March and August. Quite a number of these seem to have suspicious circumstances.

There seem to be two main groups. Those leaving work to go to a parked car, or a young girl walking alone and being coerced or pulled into a vehicle. The Springfield Three and Amanda Caudill seem to have been abducted from their homes, but maybe the killer had spotted them earlier?

What is puzzling is that after 1997 there seems to be a large gap, with only four having occurred after that year. If it is the same person or persons, maybe they went to prison?

Now, these might NOT be related and I am not suggesting that they are. I am saying that some of these seem to share similarities and distance.

Could it be the I-70 killer? Could it be someone else? Whatever the answer, I think that this idea should certainly be considered. How come most of these women are still missing? Missouri is, as I said before, quite a rural state, with plenty of room to discard a body if you knew the place.

If it is the same killer, he may use a vehicle for work or have family in different parts of the state. I just want these cases to be solved and the families given peace.
