I just ran across this case and the Double Initial (also known as the double alphabet murders) in Rochester, NY came to mind right away. I know that happened in the early 1970’s but 1980 isn’t that long after, especially if the killer was incarcerated for other crimes during the period between...
It was announced today that Rashell’s case has officially been solved! Johnny Coy was confirmed to be Rashell’s killer using DNA evidence. Rootless hair found on Rashell was able to be sequenced to obtain a dna profile and genetic genealogy was used to assist in identifying the killer...
It is somewhat frustrating that I'm not finding anywhere yet how she may have died. Was it clearly a homicide? What was her COD? I understand that law enforcement needs to hold back some details, but to offer none about her death that I can find after all of these years is arguably...
It's been a while since anyone has posted on this thread. I want to make it known that I may have a potential suspect in Shirley's murder. For a very long time I have been looking into a serial killer named Frank Duane Welch who killed a relative of mine. I have recently gotten some more...
@Kell1 what do you think about SK Ed Edwards' behavioral profile lining up with all the Colonial Parkway killings/disappearances, save for Cathy Thomas and Rebecca Dowski’s murders? I promise I'm not an enthusiast of Cameron's theory about Edwards being responsible for killing everyone from the...
Here's a case summary I wrote for Wendy's case a while ago:
"18-year-old Wendy Welborn's future looked bright in the late spring of 1980. Wendy had been living with her mother and her brothers during this time and she had just graduated high school. However, tragedy, or rather a killer, would...
Frank Duane Welch is the man that assaulted and murdered 28-year-old Talley Cooper in her Norman, OK home on February 25, 1987. Talley was 12 weeks pregnant at the time. She also had an 8-month-old son who was in the next room sleeping when the murder happened. Frank Welch also went on to...
I would expect that packing tape would be an excellent material to get DNA from, assuming any of the sticky side was exposed and the killer wasn’t wearing gloves. Even in water I think that it would still be a good chance. If that’s the most that they have they should probably think about using...
It looks like the OSBI has this case and from my experience they've not been willing to let Othram or other outside labs help in the past. Hopefully that will change someday soon.
@Kell1 There is nowhere yet to publicly read about all the known facts/evidence in the case. However, we have privately compiled a lot of information on the case and I'd be happy to share some of it with you along with some other pertinent info if you'd like. Just PM me if you're interested.
Some red flags are coming up here seeing that your username is "Concerned Navy", one of the main suspects in this case was also in the navy, the only thing you've ever done on Websleuths was make this comment, and you're saying they've got the wrong guy (although they don't really have a guy at...
