Skull found in first article ruled out as Elizabeth.

JMHO I am not ready to accept that Lucas was reponsible. His claims about his number of victims have been refuted.

Also, there is a thread here where there are several UID Jane Does that were found in Abilene (was discussed during the West Mesa AZ Burial finds of many women). Could she be one of those UID's?


Elizabeth has been missing almost 29 years. Come home soon.

UPDATE: Elizabeth Theresa Bishop's DLC has been updated in the thread title from "3 October 1981" to "2 October 1981."

Refreshing the thread...

Bumping, today is Terri’s birthday.

Terri has been missing for 41 years today.

Today is Terri’s birthday.

Terri has been missing for 42 years today.

Would it be possible that those two men Bishop was talking to were Otis Toole and Henry Lee Lucas? This case has all the earmarks of being a kidnapping and rape... it is very difficult to know the truth unless his body appears but even with that we would not know...
either way
rest in peace
