Amanda Campbell

Here's the posters of two girls who disappeared around the same time as Ilene Misheloll. I used to live in the same small town that Amanda was abducted from

~Ginger

Ginger I remember both of these cases. There were so many missing kids in No. CA during the late eighties that were never found. I have often wondered if the girls were all taken by the same person.

The little girl's name was Brittney Beers. Here's a link to her case:

what do u think im doing some cold cases janice pockett and connie smith connie smith went missing also in ct in a camp called camp slone it was a ymca camp for a few weeks in the summer the camp is still running she went missing at the age of 10 in 1952 i belive, do you think its wrong to send out letters and copy of the flyer of when these people went missing to residents of the town someone might remeber something that could have been so trivial and stupid but can link another peice of the puzzle, i was thinking if i could get enugh poeple to help me we could eventualy do more cold cases, between 1950-the80s when computers werent around and stuff 80s we had more advances but in the 50s and 60s it was hard what do u think?

This is my first post.

I found a possible answer to the Indiana State Dunes mystery. The below link is to a web site that outlines the arrest of two men, Kenneth Hansen and Silas Jayne, in connection with crimes involving horses/owners.

http://www.pet-abuse.com/cases/761/IL/US/1/print

Apparently, they came into contact with Blough and Miller at the stable where the two young women kept their horses. This site mentions the Blough, Bruhl, and Miller specifically as being likely vicitims of the men.

Lovin' this website!

Here is the one case that I will never forget as it happened the week after I was in Tahoe.

Interesting, these were some bad people. Too bad they couldn't tie them for sure to the murders of the three girls. I also wonder why they didn't dig up Jaynes backyard for the girls since he claimed three bodies were buried there.

OMG! Her story is worse than I imagined! BEFORE being abducted she had been molested/abused by her Father,her Uncle AND her Mother's boyfriend????? : (


............I can't help but wonder if they were looked at? After all they were all under investigation when she went missing??? OR were they all aware of what they were each doing to her ? Were they some sort of pedo "group"??
Did they set up her abduction??? After all how do we know its NOT her in the found pictures?


SOOOOOOOOOOOO much WRONG in the case IMO not only just the abduction!

Hello I am a relative of Janice Pockett would be very interested in hearing what you think,,,,kimmpp@hotmail.com

The case that always pops into my mind when I hear about a child disappearing while camping or hiking is the case of little Laura Bradbury (3 years old) who disappeared fom her family's campsite in Joshua Tree National Park (near Palm Springs, CA) in 1984. Anybody remember this case?

If memory serves me right, Laura's remains were found 2-3 years after she disappeared either in the park itself or not far from it. I don't remember if a cause of death was listed or someone was involved in her disappearance.

You're right. Ken and Si were responsible for the deaths of these girls. They rode at Si's brother's barn and witnessed Ken's brother planting a bomb on Si's brother's car. (Si eventually succeeded in killing his brother years later). An assistant trainer, a young woman named Cherie, was asked to bring the car around to the front. The car exploded and she was killed. The three girls were witnesses, so Si had Ken kill them. Ken used his boat (which matched the description given by eyewitnesses) and then burned it. (he also collected insurance for the 'accident' to his boat).

The real mystery is where did Si's nephew, Frank Jayne Jr., put the body of Brach candy heiress Helen Brach. There have been books and movies about Helen Brach, but no one has ever found her body. Jayne's accomplice, Richard Bailey is in prison for life for his involvement in her murder.

Hi, instead of starting a bunch of new threads I thought I'd make a list of several cold cases that haunt me. I've included links-which I hope work. I also hope when I submit this it looks neat and not all jumbled. Here goes:

Eveyln Hartley-teenager vansihed while babysitting in 1953. I've heard this story since I was a child, as my father was growing up in La Crosse, WI when this happened.

http://www.lacrossetribune.com/articles/2003/10/24/news.03h

Indiana Dunes Mystery-Three young women vanish in 1966.

http://www.geocities.com/athens/parthenon/6865/mystery.html


Trenny Lynn Gibson-vanished while on a field trip in the Great Smoky Mountains.

http://doenetwork.bravepages.com/425dftn.html

Sheila and Katherine Lyon-sisters missing since 1975

http//www.nealjconway.com/essays/whyweliketobe/lyonsisters.html

Janice Pockett-missing since 1973

http://www.angelfire.com/mi3/mpccn/pockett.html

Madeline Babcock-she wasn't a child-she was 35 when she vanished. Her sister is stil searching for her.

Suzanne Lyall-college student missing since 1998.

http://www.global2000.net/suzy/


There are more but this will do for now. I hope these links come out-please forgive me if they don't!

What are your thoughts on these cases, and what cases haunt you?

Those are haunting cases - thanks for posting.

I live close to the area where Jennifer Short and her family were murdred.
Does not seem they are any closer to an arrest than the first day it happened.
Wonder if the parents were the target or she was.

Hello I am a relative of Janice Pockett would be very interested in hearing what you think,,,,kimmpp@hotmail.com

First - sorry for your loss. You and your family have suffered a tragedy.
When reading the link it was sad to read that there were 2 pedophiles as suspects - children are prey and this reminds me of that lesson.

What jumped out to me was that she was classified a runaway at 8 years old.
Was there any reason for that classification or was it just the times before the awareness of child vicitms? Did that impeded a search at the time?

I hope that you get some answers someday soon.
Michelle

Funny thing about it was that I remember that she always had tictacs with her,,,my sister and Janice werre very close,,,would love to find closure need to know more but do not know where to look or what to do,,,very new at this if anyone can help please let me know

I really feel for you and your family, having had such a tragedy happen and having no closure. I guess the main thing is to keep Janice's story in the media. She is on several missing persons websites which is good. Perhaps create a personal website about her and her abduction? Though I realize that may be emotionally hard to do. Maybe have someone sketch a picture of what she may look like now.

Janice's case haunts many of us here and we really want to see it solved, and I think many of us would like to hear more tibits about Janice, like the tic tac story. It is nice to hear little things about her, to know more what she was like. Please share more with us if you are able to and want to. Bless you and your family and lets hope modern science and interest in her case can soon solve it.

It seems like the only thing that's different is the cold, sad look that Brittney has in her eyes.....that poor little girl..... :-(

As far as the Evelyn Hartley case, did they save the blood-stained jacket and shoes? Can they do some DNA testing on them? It would be interesting to know.
