Welcome to Ws @DangarDave!Fellow Websleuths,
G'day from Dangar Island, Australia.
I would just like some help with a local case I'm obsessed with, Harry Jacobsen who disappeared 2nd August 1929.
Yes, it's nearly a century old! In a nutshell, the case was closed with the police determining after 3 days Harry drowned.
However, this was 100% a homicide, even though a body has never been found. It was a media sensation at the time so lots of press.
I am President of the local Historical Society and have police witness statements etc in our archives as well as press links and oral history about the case.
I would dearly love some Websleuths' thoughts on this case, but I'm not exactly sure where to post it. I feel like it belongs in Cold Cases, even though it's closed... Do I post in Missing Persons, even though nobody is looking for him?
Please steer me in the right direction!
Thanks in advance,
DangarDave

Rbbm. (respectfully bolded by me)Hi Everyone! I just joined the site a couple of minutes ago so am completely new. I'm a researcher, teacher and librarian though who has watched true crime since I was a child with my mum, so not really new to that; I was also a mentor to young offenders for a little while years ago. Based in Yorkshire in the UK.
I'm now disabled so have to ease back on work, hoping I can bring something useful to the party. I'm interested in whether serial killers can be stopped from killing before they start, or if they can be cured to avoid more victims. I know that's not a subject for everyone!
