ID ID - Gayla Schaper, 28, Latah County, 29 June 1979

There is no doubt that Larry did this-but where is her body?

Good question.
Theyve been covering much of that same ground around Moscow searching for Rachael Andersen who dissappeared just two years ago.
Authorities feel(and I agree) that Anderson's ex-husband killed her at his shop near Moscow and then dumped the body.
So far searches have turned up nothing.
She has a thread here at Websleuthes as well.
 
Thanks. That's very interesting that some of these psycopaths passed a lie-detector test. I knew that they weren't admissable in court, but thought that the police gave them to immediately clear some people close to the case such as family members so they could 'clear them and get it out of the way.' Why bother? (just thinking out loud don't want to make this discussion about lie-detector tests!)

Police departments as a whole seem to have a great deal of faith in the tests, don't they? But as far as I can tell, the science doesn't justify the result. I have no trouble believing that these two men were able to pass.
 
The shop is on Hagedorn's property-it's a metal shop-look upthread for a link on articles on the cases-it mentions it there
 
have they searched that land lately? Hagedorn's daughter is convinced he killed Gayla.
 
Gayla was one of my classmates. When we had our 40th class reunion in 2009, two LE attended one gathering in hopes of jogging anyone's memory about any detail. Almost everyone talked with them about Gayla and another classmate murdered in December of 1969 (unsolved, but body left at site). To my knowledge, no new information was uncovered. Comments about Voss are correct. He remains, I believe, prime suspect in several other murders/disappearances. At the time of our 10th reunion, posters were up all over town about her disappearance. It remains a heart-wrenching mystery as we are approaching our 50th reunion next summer. No one has forgotten this needless tragedy.
