Richard said: "In this case, regarding the Lyon sisters, it is believed by prosecutors that they were in fact killed but no solid forensic evidence of that was presented at the recent trial. Nor did it have to be, since Lloyd Lee Welch, Jr. pled guilty." "Believed to be" is a key point in...

Changes over time, especially after 40 years,are easy to cause confusion. Same is true of adoptions, living with other family members, or taking on other names. It makes things harder to trace. Sometimes simple things can really mean more that we realize. The same is true of any "hidden"...

Richard, Virginia's cases could have been tried separately to tack on a good number of years to his current sentence in Delaware. Maryland could have tried LLW for 2 abductions in which victims have been missing over 40 years and presumed deceased. to add "icing to the cake". Interesting...

I think my post yesterday may not have been thorough enough in explanation. If Beverly Rose Potts left home voluntarily, she could have become Annita Maria Musto Price who disappeared from West Virginia (while in custody battle with her ex-husband) and talen the name Mercedes. She could...

I have your book with all my notes highlighted in it. It was the seemingly minor details in you book that drew my attention--the same things that some readers find annoying. You can't please everyone. I would like to discuss them with you, but not in open forum. The name of the person who...

I found your book well-written and full of a lot of information. I am always looking at things in books on these cases from both sides. Unfortunately, you can never tell whether the information is meant to lead you toward or away from useful information. After reading it, I wondered if the...

The thing about El Dorado Jane Doe that sticks out to me is her nearly 6 ft. height. There was a woman missing from West Virginia, Anita Maria Price Musto (maybe Musto Price) who has never been found and was listed as being 6 feet tall. I always wondered if El Dorado Jane might have been her...

Rob, Do you know if there is any information recorded on the Station Wagon in the police files? Owner, Tag #, anything that might indicate where it had been or had been registered previously? I got a good bit of information which may relate to other cases from your book. I am not sure if you...

I did not write the book, the sentence should have read, "In my book, it pointed out . . ." The book is only mine because I purchased it. Sorry if it confused anyone.

Gruffin, there is more to connect the Reker case with Welch than you realize--at least indirectly. A book came out last year just before LLW was set to go to trial -- Two Missing Sisters (Maybe Two Sisters Missing) author's name was Dudley (this is a subtle link too). I have no interest in...

Way to go, FW_Cat!

Has anything (evidence) other than the claims by two of his nephews tied him to this crime? From what I have read, there was nothing in the way of concrete evidence ever presented. We know there were others involved, we just don't know who. In 1975 there were 3 other brothers alive and lots...

Wondering if Notch and Wagner knew each other. . .

Ahh Foureyes, again! Helen Russell Phillips, who later became Helen Russell Phillips Welch is, indeed, the person I was referring to. But, of course, you know that as well as other names associated. To my knowledge, the 16 year old Helen you would like to divert to, never officially became a...

It is even more disturbing when you start researching family members of people known to be involved in other cases from the same area, Brentwood, Hyattsvillle, Bladensburg, Beltsville, Jessup, and known friend connections outside the family for the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
