I still think this case can be solved, if they still have all the evidence. DNA has advanced so much, that they might be able to get it off her clothes, the hearse itself or anything that was in it. Sometimes it's so frustrating as you wonder why they haven't been able to use DNA to solve a...

Is there any DNA from any of her surviving family? If she was kidnapped for a couple, perhaps some of her descendants are in a data base. Remember they solved the 1930 kidnapping of Mary Agnes Moroney just last year with DNA from her children.

I don't think in North Carolina, but there is a Sumter, Georgia a Sumter County in Florida and a Sumter, Nebraska.

Paul Murdaugh boat accident may have just been the last straw for Alex. They were going to get sued and it's possible that trying to find all his money, would have led into all his other crimes being uncovered and people were starting to question about the housekeepers death and that young...

The only write up I've ever seen about this case is in a book called "Getting Away With Murder" 57 Unsolved Murders - by Edward Baumann and John O'Brien. She was fully dressed and was murdered in the back of the hearse. this junkyard where the hearse was located was about a mile from where...

I would agree in the early years of the case, but once it became easier to check information, in say the last 20 years, some of the original thoughts on this case never changed. I'm old enough to remember when this case first started. You could only read about it in Detective Magazines and...

I think this case has always involved a lot of tunnel vision and over thinking. If we hadn't been fixated on looking for a couple and someone just had a thought that they might be two separate missing people, James, at least might have been identified decades ago. He had been reported missing...

Not as unusual as a lot of people might think. For instance Ted Bundy removed two separate women at two separate times from the same beach on the same day. I worry that this case may be similar to the Sumter County, SC Jane & John Doe case where it took 40 years to identify them because...

Where is all the evidence in the strangler cases. There is so much stuff that could probably be tested by touch DNA to even see if they are connected. Scarfs or whatever was used to strangle them. The knives - people forget two of the victims were stabbed - some were beaten with objects - are...

To me, the most logical is Pamela hitchhiked East from Colorado, and somewhere on the East Coast she met up with James. Maybe he had a car that he picked up sometime after he left. Most guys during that time knew how to work on cars and he might have picked up a junker and got it on the road...

I don't think it's that unusual that one or 2 children are picked out by a mother for abuse or even killed. I don't remember the names but there was the woman who killed 2 of her infant daughters and not her son as her husband had said he only wanted sons. Both times she claimed someone broke...

Unfortunately, an accent can be easy to fake. This was a well thought out crime and the person knew they would probably have to be talking to other people and he didn't talk much. Were any of the witnesses from that part of Europe? Just think in your own head - what do you think a Romanian or...

I also just saw this on a YouTube crime channel I watch called Criminally listed. The recently updated show. This was one of my never thought it would be solved cases. On the show I also found out that the Babes in the Woods - Vancouver Canada 1953 - where two children bodies were found under...

Just saw they were identified on a YouTube crime channel I watch called Criminally Listed - Update Of Cases In case anyone also watches this case, the show also discloses that the murder of the 3 members of the Durham Family in Boone, North Carolina in 1973 has also been solved. This is the...

I had heard they may have stayed around the house for awhile. I would think there would have been a lot of touch DNA left behind, if they even kept anything. Al's clothes, any weapons. I heard he might have even slept there so I would think that would be a good path to see if they can match...

It is close, that is why I believe Pamela stopped there on her way from Colorado - going East. I think you were probably right that the mechanic noticed her more than the guy - who I don't think was James. I think he was just her ride at that moment. Back in the 70's almost any guy could...

I think everyone should google hitchhiking pictures in the 1970's and you will see that what Pamela was wearing wouldn't have been unusual on the highway. You'd see girls in mini skirts and high heels, they usually weren't planning on walking for miles, but getting picked up. One was at a...

I think we may be over thinking this again. Pamela probably followed Interstate 80 East, which would take her through Nebraska where she got the matchbook, we don't know if she already had the jewelry but that type of Southwestern jewelry was available in most stores, swap meets, etc. across...

I don't know how the matchbook got off into smoking pot territory. I was trying to point out that the simple explanation for how a matchbook from a truck stop in Nebraska got into their possession, Pamela was from Colorado which is next door to Nebraska and she was probably going down...

Unfortunately, a lot of us had tunnel vision. We thought they were a couple who would be reported as missing together. I don't think I ever heard anyone suggest they might have been from two different disappearances who happened to meet up along the way. I wonder if anyone put his initials...
