The Marjorie West case frustrates me to no end. The case might as well be cold since all of Marjorie's closest relatives have been in the grave for years now, and the only people keeping up with the case are people who were children in 1938 and descendants of Marjorie's relatives.

Wow, that does piss me off. I mean if she was kidnapped by someone who wanted a kid there's a slim chance she's some elderly lady who is still alive/died blissfully unaware of who she really was or was taken out by illness or an accident, OR she was kidnapped by a pedophile and dispatched once she got too old. Either way we're unfortunately never gonna find her and the asshole that did this was technically never caught (like people who do one crime but get booked for something else completely unrelated (was it the Green River Killer or the Golden State Killer who got locked up on unrelated charges?). But given this was long before DNA testing if he kept his nose clean that son of a bitch died a free man.

It's extra gut wrenching to see missing persons posters and it's a picture from like the 60s and next to it is (age progression to 50 years). I can't imagine how destroyed people's families like that must be.

A local case I've been following had a 50-something woman go missing from a music festival three years ago and they haven't found a body yet. Since it was in Wisconsin the winters are brutal and part of me hoped she wandered off and died of exposure then nature disposed of her body because given the depravity of midwestern serial killers if she wandered off with some high as fuck guy god only knows what he did to her. Case is pretty much cold, they can't find shit.

Let me throw in some extra gut punchers for free, especially Melvin Horst. Judge Crater, call your office.

I'm really surprised they haven't caught the person who killed Missy Bevers yet. It has almost been five years. She's the woman who was murdered in a TX church and they have the suspect on video:

I remember people were commenting on how the killer seemed to know his way around the place even before the Gait video was released., and the height matches.


Obviously, it was the Good O'l stepfather, police are just useless as always.

I haven't read about the case in a couple of years but the father was out of state at the time of the murder, police verified his alibi. Going just by gait, there was a memorial service at the church and one of the news station was filming b-roll footage and captured a cop in plainclothes who had a very similar gait. Nothing came of it.

The husband was on a fishing trip in Mississippi. Could be a coincidence or could be planned to rule him out. If he hired a hitman, he hired a shitty one for them to appear on video wandering around the church like that. Then again, the killer still hasn't been caught so maybe they're not so shitty.

Police also obtained warrants for cell information for several members of the Bevers family and others. Those documents say several phone messages uncovered by investigators confirm tips of financial trouble, struggles within the Bevers' marriage and extramarital affairs.

Cheating opens up the list of suspects even wider. Spurned lover or angry husband/wife. Who knows how many people were involved in the infidelities.

The search warrants were FOIA'd and released on Websleuths back then, but I'm unsure if they are still available there.

I'm going to have to agree to police incompetence on that one. I understand why profiling by gait is a thing, but it's a shit way to try and capture a suspect. A person's gait can change for a while from something as simple as planar warts or breaking a pinky toe from stubbing it. Hell your gait can even change from weight gain or even your mood. It's such a shit way to get a suspect and leaves such a massive possibility that an innocent gets coined as the suspect.

The Creepy "Coincidental" Deaths of Mary Morris: On October 12th, 2000, 48-year-old Mary Lou Morris found dead inside the burnt-out remains of her vehicle. Her body was so badly burned that authorities were unable to find an exact cause of death. One odd thing was noticed, though. In addition to Mary's purse being missing, so was her wedding ring. This might not sound so bizarre at first, until you realize that all of the other jewelry Mary was wearing at the time was still with her, completely melted due to the intense heat from the car fire.

Mary's current husband, Jay Morris, and ex-husband were ruled out as suspects, and since Mary was locally known as a very nice person who had no known enemies, no one could understand why anyone would kill her. That was until a few days later when the local newspaper received an eerie anonymous phone call that just stated:

"They got the wrong Mary Morris the first time."

Sure enough, three days later, the badly beaten, and shot body of 39-year-old Mary McGinnis Morris was found in her car in nearly the exact same location the other Mary's was found at. She too was missing a ring, but unlike with the other Morris death, it wasn't a wedding ring. At 5:34pm the day prior, Mary had called one of her friends on her cellphone to tell her that someone she had seen in the local drugstore "gave her the creeps." She then followed up by saying she was going to return to work, sign off of her computer, and head home. Twelve minutes later, she made a frantic 911 call saying she had been attacked and abducted by an unknown assailant. She was later found slain in her car not too long afterwards.

Unlike with the first case, the murder Mary McGinnis Morris had two suspects right off the bat. This first one was coworker who Mary greatly feared as the man had vandalized her desk, and had written blunt, and unsettling death threats to her. According to Mary's husband, his wife was so frightened of the man that she wanted to get a gun for protection.

Mary's husband is also highly suspected in her death. Mary had an incredibly sizable life insurance policy out for herself that totaled a whopping $700,000. Mary's husband also suspiciously refused to take a polygraph test, and even more suspiciously, had called her around the time she was being murdered. To add even more doubt to his credibility, he first claimed that Mary had just never answered before later claiming that the call in question was just a mistake by the phone company.

No one has ever been charged for either woman's death, and theories run rampant in regards to them. The most prominent theory being just as the anonymous phone call said-a hitman got the wrong Mary Morris the first time. This theory is believed by many to be the case as both Marys shared the same name, lived very close to each other, and in the same cities, looked relatively similar, and most importantly, were both killed in an extremely close timespan in similar circumstances, and areas, and were both missing identifiable jewelry on them which is typical of hitman as they usual take such items as proof of "getting the job done".

Strangely, the wedding ring Mary Lou Morris was spotted on the finger of her daughter who claimed to have "found it". Even stranger, and more unsettling is that Jay Morris received a $2000 phone bill from his wife's phone card which was later traced to 16-year-old girl living in Galveston six months later. When confronted, teen explained that she had found Mary's purse, and other belongings abandoned in a convenience store parking lot. However, when Mary Lou Morris' family was shone the items in question, the family stated that those items did not belong to her.

Lastly, Jay Morris layer went on to receive three phone calls from someone asking Mary, and just like with her death, the death of Mary McGinnis Morris, and the other anonymous caller who had tipped off the newspaper in first place, the person, or persons behind it remain completely unknown.

Lol, I grew up with a guy named Jay Morris, I'm going to send him that article.
 
While not overly creepy, to this day no-one's entirely sure how Bobby Fuller died. He was found dead in his car outside his apartment building covered in petachia caused by gasoline vapours and the summer heat. There was no evidence of any other kind of trauma. His death was originally ruled a suicide, but it was later changed to accident and it's now thought someone (possibly with Mafia connections) might have killed him. It's weird because his Mum was looking our for him and in a half hour time frame when she wasn't, his car appeared with his dead body inside, so he either arrived and committed suicide or his killer struck during that time.

I find Ireland's Vanishing Triangle very interesting. Nobody knows what exactly happened to the eight women who went missing in Ireland. All of them wrote abducted in the same province (Leinster) during the nineties. It's believed their alleged killer is living in the UK somewhere however Larry Murphy is considered a suspect.

His poor parents. They must've been devastated.

There was a case of a girl named Mary Boyle who disappeared at the Co. Fermanagh and Co. Donegal border during the 70s. The Scottish child serial killer Robert Black is most likely the perpetrator, considering that his van was where she was last seen. Some believe her Uncle Gerry was a paedophile who killed her or sex trafficked her.
