GUYANA - Mother disappears, then daughter 1 year later - Jonestown connection?, 1978

[phenolred]

Hello, I just recently watched a program on the Jonestown tragedy, Jim Jones and the peoples temple in the 70's . I went and looked through one of the websites about Jonestown and it has a list of everyone that died, over 900 people . It has pictures of most of them. I was shocked to find out that alot of the bodies were unclaimed or unidentified and they were all buried in a mass grave. I think it said around 200 were unclaimed. Then one of the cases I read about here seemed like it could be a fit, however, I can not find the thread to see if the time fits with the 70's. After doing alot of reading about Jonestown I found that alot of the poeple who joined the Temple would simply vanish in the night to join Jim Jones. He would tell them to do this, to not tell anybody and just leave, probably so family couldnt talk them out of it. The story of a missing Woman and then like 1 year later her daughter dissapeared. Could the mother have joined the Peoples Temple and then came back to get her daughter? Does anybody remember this case. And if this case is not a match, I feel it is worth a look to go back to some missing persons cases from the 70's esp in California and in areas Jim Jones had churches. I also read about the Peoples Temple taking Children to collect $ from the government could some of the missing children in CALIFORNIA in the 70's have died at JONESTOWN?

Wow Phenolred, this all sounds very intriguing, if nothing else. Do you still have those links to Jonestown? I'd like to start there while we're trying to find that thread.

wow more unidentified than I thought



the hellish nightmare of Jonestown was remembered in the USA.
At 11 am on Tuesday November 18, at the Evergreen Cemetery, in Oakland, California, a special Memorial Service marked the 25th Anniversary of the Jonestown tragedy. Former members of Jim Jones’ People’s Temple, some who had managed to escape the jungle compound before the suicide murders occurred, relatives of victims, and others gathered to remember, and to question how it could have happened. They gathered at the mass grave of some 409 of the unclaimed or unidentified Jonestown victims – including many children (some 227 children, including babies, died at Jonestown) – who were buried together at the Oakland Cemetery.
