Hi I am new to WS. I grew up near Steubenville Ohio, in Jefferson co. In the early 80's a woman named Vicky Dwileski was found in her car shot to death in fernwood state forest. 12 yrs later her drivers liscence was found in a drop off mail box, no fingerprints where found on it. Her murder has never been solved. I can't find any links pertaining to this at all.
In Dec 1995 3 weeks before christmas, 13 yo Barbara Barnes was walking 2 blocks to Harding Middle School where she was in the 8th grade (I think). She never made it to school that morning. She was found 2 months later in a shallow grave in the woods outside weirton Wva, near Florence Pa?? or maybe it was Burgettstown..Not real sure..i just knows it runs off of Hwy 22. Friends and family have a erected a memorial cross near where her remains were found. Her killer has never been found. I believe that AMW did a story on her a few yrs back...there are very few leads and I can't find much info on-line either.
These 2 murders have haunted me for yrs. The first one ,Vicki Dwileski, I think about quite often, I have been to Fernwood Forest State Park and to be quite honest it gives me the eebie geebies in the daytime. That place is just plain spooky. It's sad to know that her final moments where at such a spooky place. I was prob 10 yrs old when that murder happened. I worked with her cousin about 10yrs later.
Barbara Barnes hits close to home, I was living near Steubenville and my parents lived in Steubenville, not far from where she was abducted. I didn't know her or any of her family. But it was all over the news. I moved out of state a month later and brother called me when they found her body in the woods. I cried, she was only 13 yo and walking to school like she had everyday in such a relatively safe area.
These 2 cold cases haunt me. I would like to know what happened to them. Who killed them?? Why??
