Did you ever hear back as to whether this match was ruled out?

Rees was only 13 years old in 1946, and thus unlikely to fit the physical description of being "powerfully built". He was certainly not an imposing figure as an adult.

The budget angle might be wrong - I found that they increased the budget in 2010 to $160k for the Coroner's office operating expense from $111k in 2009. It looks like they've had issues passing a budget since then, though, so who knows how funding is working in the last couple of years.

It's worth noting that the coroner for this parish is Russell Pavich, MD. It looks like he's not trained for it - he's a general practitioner (not even a member of the AMA, which is concerning to me but not required), and when you search his name you find him listed also as an orthopedic surgeon...

Hi! Columbia is my hometown - I live about an hour away now, but my sister lives there and many of my friends. One friend's younger brother was across the way and witnessed one of the murders, and another friend's children were immediately below in the food court. It was a pretty rough day, as...

It looks like this may never be officially solved. The police believe they know who the killer was, and he died in 1992. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20130527/NEWS01/305270010/Lansing-cold-case-files-Early-70s-saw-string-killings-women

I found this in the SSDI: Ruth Hurlbut 22 May 1906 29 Aug 1997 Canton, Saint Lawrence, New York The problem is that if she did marry, or started going by another first name, is that she would not show up on the census as "Ruth Hurlbert." Many women only show up under their married names. I...

This case is being presented to Vidocq for their input. http://www.wtop.com/?nid=41&sid=2748689 I'm guessing that both existing suspects were ruled out, or the DNA tests were inconclusive on the blood droplets left heading out the back hallway. They were tested in 2009 against samples from...

On a side note, this company is also on Furnace Road in Lorton: http://www.bodetech.com/ They're actually located right in between where both bodies were found. Weird, huh?

Not necessarily young. Other cultures have different ideas of what's age appropriate and Ive seen Middle Eastern men dress fairly colorfully at times, when they're being casual or "sporty." The evil eye charm is seen throughout the Middle East, not just Turkey. You see it in just about every...

http://www.walb.com/Global/story.asp?S=8643150&clienttype=printable According to the above article, her full correct name is Mary Susan Humphrey. An excerpt: Mary Susan Humphrey was last seen by friends on Friday, May 30, 1980 in Valdosta, Georgia after leaving Grego's, which was a...

I have a couple of thoughts on the latest article. First, rape does not always produce physical trauma in the victim. She may have thought that cooperation would keep her alive. Second, if someone were to admit that they had consensual sex, then, well, it would be a move forward, wouldn't it?

There's a little bit of information here: http://www2.insidenova.com/isn/news/crime/article/meet_prince_williams_cold_case_crew/16398/ The area that they describe is practically next door to the shopping center. She didn't get very far. I live about 5 miles from there.

Could have been a screwdriver, I'm thinking. Or an awl used for putting holes in leather like belts. Fingerprint records would have been paper back then, so their task would have been significant given that it was wartime and the draft was on. I hope they're finally able to identify him.
