My first thought is that maybe he went there to commit suicide, that this was his intention and that the story about going out to collect the money is just what he told his parents so he would have a reason for being away from the house for a while. I noticed that his description says he had...

I enjoyed your post very much. I have never thought a real criminal wrote the ransom note. It was written by someone who is attempting to write the note the way they think a criminal would write it, based primarily on things they've seen in movies and on TV and not on any real world criminal...

Exactly! I agree with everything you said. I always thought it was ridiculous for the school authorities or anyone else to claim that they couldn't have been followed because nobody had told the students where they were going. Anybody could have sat in their car someplace nearby in order to...

I think that, although LE said they have a theory about who was responsible for his death, the problem is probably that they can't prove it for certain and the person is already dead and cannot be prosecuted.

The story the students told about the ring is so fishy. If Trenny took the ring off to wash her hands, seems like she'd put it back on after she dried her hands, not tell another girl to hold it for her for the rest of the day. I like to take my rings off to wash my hands but then I put them...

I had not seen that. I follow the page but it didn't come up in my newsfeed. I hope it's information that will be useful. It's so strange how it seems like nobody from that time ever offered up anything that the police could go on. If anybody she knew abducted her, you'd think somebody from...

I'm saving my Amazon Points to get the book soon. I've been looking forward to reading it. From everything that's been said about it I think it must be the best account of the Risch case yet.

Wow, I think this is the case I first joined Websleuths to discuss! I've been to the area where she was found many times and every time I've been on the tram I thought of her. After so many years I was afraid she might never get her name back. I'm glad she did and that her family members finally...

I have three persimmon trees on my property and the oldest one is probably at or close to 60 years old. This land has been in my husband's family for 3 generations and the tree was already there when he was a kid, only smaller then of course, and he's in his mid-50s now. You can tell it's...

Though I never knew Carlene, her case is very special to me and I think of her every June 21st and many times throughout the year. I still hope someday there will be answers.

I agree that she probably was not related to any of those children. I was just thinking about her this morning for some reason. I have never felt like the place she chose to die had anything to do with a family connection or feeling like she'd caused the death of a child buried there. (Some...

I had not visited this thread for a while and had not previously heard that Roger's brother said there were kids who would chase him. Everything else I'd ever read about him indicated he was well liked by everyone. I had the impression he was a popular, tall, athletic, good-looking guy (in other...

It seems like I recall reading somewhere in this thread that the ring was a recent birthday gift. Does anyone know if that's correct? If so, she'd only had the ring about two months because her birthday was in September. It was so new and special that I would expect her to have been very...

I had not heard of anyone seeing it again either. I was wondering whether she might have put her comb in his jacket pocket while she was wearing it. But if the jacket never resurfaced then it sounds like he and the girl with her jewelry possibly took these items from her. It doesn't sound like...

In light of other students having Trenny's personal belongings, I can't help but wonder whether some type of hazing/bullying incident took place that ended (possibly accidentally) in her death. Trenny was supposedly wearing Robert's jacket when she disappeared. It would be interesting to know...
