Sugiyama was an ex-chef turned artist who was looking for willing participants to quite literally- eat his dick. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The tweet read: “Please retweet.

Remember the disappearance of of Timmothy Pitzen in 2011? To refresh you on the case, the six year old's mother took him out of school claiming there was a "family emergency". she proceeded to take him to a zoo and water park before committing suicide in a hotel room. Timmothy Pitzen was never found. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then, in April 2019 a man found wandering the streets of Kentucky claimed to be the missing boy. (<a href="https://genwhypod.com/blogs/the-generation-why-podcast-blog/why-did-brian-rini-claim-to-be-missing-child-timmothy-pitzen">continue reading</a>)</div>

Next up, the murder of Grace Packer. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This has got to be one of the most disturbing crimes I think I've ever covered. Needless to say reader discretion is advised.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Grace was adopted when she was a toddler and suffered abuse at the hands of her foster father. He was jailed for his crime but the abuse would not stop there. Soon after her mother divorced she was introduced to a whole new monster.

11 year old Amberly Alexis Barnett went missing from her Aunt’s mobile home in Alabama in March. Neighbors and police searched for the child but failed to locate her. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
33 year old man named Christopher Wayne Madison was one of the neighbors involved in the search, but investigators would come to find out that he was much more involved than he first let on. </div>

When Diana Alejandra Keel went missing her husband didn't seem too concerned. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
By the time Keel's body was discovered in a rural area not far from their home, her husband, Rexford Lynn Keel Jr was already several states away. Deeper investigation into the case revealed that the accident that killed his previous wife may not have been an accident at all.

On the 5th of February 2019, a highway worker in Greenwich, Connecticut discovered a large, red, abandoned suitcase in a wooded tract, just 15 feet from the highway. The worker cautiously approached the discarded luggage near Glenville road and unzipped it to reveal the grisly contents. Inside the case was the fully clothed body of a young woman with her wrists and ankles bound. The worker pulled out his phone and contacted the local police to report the discovery (<a href="https://genwhypod.com/blogs/the-generation-why-podcast-blog/woman-found-in-suitcase-in-greenwich-connecticut-identified-as-valerie-reyes-from-new-rochelle-new-york">continue</a>)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Kelsey Berreth went missing from Colorado in November of 2018. There was no sign of a disturbance at her home. Police interviewed her fiancé who lived nearby on his mothers farm and although he cooperated with them the lingering question of why he didn’t report his own fiancée missing still loomed ominously over him.

<span style="font-size: large;">Brian Shaffer was just
27 years old when he vanished off the face of the earth during spring break in
2006.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shaffer, who was a second year medical student at Ohio state university,
went missing after a night of bar hopping with friends on Friday March 31<sup>st</sup>.
2006.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before hitting the
town with friends that night, Brian went out to dinner with his dad and brother
to celebrate. His father did not notice anything off about his son other than
the fact that he seemed fatigued which he thought was probably due to one too many
late nights of studying for his final exams. Around 9:50PM Brian made a call to his girlfriend. She had no idea it would be the last time she heard his voice. </div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After the meal, at
around 10PM, Brian met with a friend named William “Clint” Florence. The two
met a local bar named “The ugly tuna saloona”. The bar was on 1546 north High
Street in Columbus, but Google it these days and you’ll notice it’s recorded as
being permanently closed. </span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Ugly Tuna Saloona has an average rating of 2 out

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Arena district is a
neighborhood in Columbus that is easy to walk to on foot. It has everything
from bars and restaurants to malls and sports facilities. This video from 2010

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Brian and Clint reached their destination at around midnight after stopping at
various bars along the way. They hitched a ride back with a female friend of Clint named Meredith Reed. The three drove back to the Ugly
Tuna and had one last drink together. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Surveillance footage
from the bar confirms that the three did indeed go back to the Tuna and they were recorded
arriving at 1:15AM.</span></div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">At some point Clint
noticed that Brian was missing. Despite their repeated attempts to call and
locate him he was nowhere to be found. Clint and Meredith were eventually
ushered out of the bar at closing time, around 2AM. Although they continued to
wait for their missing friend outside of the bar, he never showed up. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">T</span>hey did tell police that
Brian went to talk to the live band after they finished their set that night,
but the members couldn’t offer up any helpful information. Brian had two sides
to him, on one hand he had been training his whole life to become a doctor, and
on the other hand he wanted nothing more than to be a musician and song
writer. He was a fan of Eddie Vedder and Jimmy Buffett and had a tattoo of the
artwork from the Pearl Jam single “Alive”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Eventually Brian’s
friends assumed that he had returned to his apartment in King Avenue without
telling them and gave up looking. King Avenue is around 1 hour 40 minutes on
foot, but only a 10-12 minute drive by car. Did Brian hail a cab after failing
to find his friends? Did someone offer him a ride home? One could reach King
Avenue by car via Olentangy River Rd which runs parallel to the river itself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Shaffer had an important

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">CCTV footage from
outside of the Ugly Tuna revealed that Brian Shaffer was last spotted chatting
with 2 women outside of the bar at around 1:55AM before bidding them goodnight and appearing to walk back
towards the Ugly Tuna entrance. This footage would go on to inspire many a theory about
what happened to Brian that night.

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">How could it be that a
man was recorded seemingly entering a building but not leaving? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">First of all, the cameras
did not exactly record him going into the bar, only in the direction of. Many
people assume that he was heading back into the Ugly Tuna as his friends were
still inside and the bar was not yet closed. Also, none of the surveillance
footage handed into police that night captured Brian in the local area. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There was reportedly a
service door which was off limits to general patrons. Brian’s lack of authority
to exit the building through a staff-only door would not make it physically
impossible for him to do so, which is why many an internet sleuth hypothesizes that
taking another exit is exactly what he did. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The only problem with this theory
is that the service door lead out onto a construction site and Brian was not
captured on any other surveillance tape in the local area. The local area was plentiful
with other bars and restaurants that handed in their CCTV tapes from the night,
but there was no sign or Brian on any of them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
His apartment <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/161801">was targeted by robbers</a>
a month later.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Police did at one
point entertain the idea that he could have changed clothes with the intention
of voluntarily walking away from his life, however it is unknown if this was the
case. His family argues that his life was good and that he had a bright future
ahead of him. He was going to be a doctor and was apparently planning on
proposing to his girlfriend, Alexis Waggoner (also a medical student); in Miami
on a spring break vacation that he had spent “weeks planning to perfection”. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz50sB89uG8">In a TV show about the case</a>,
Brian’s girlfriend reveals the content of their last phone call on the night
that he went missing. Brian apparently told her (in regards to going out that
Friday night) "<i>This is my chance to talk about you with the guys, I
love you and I'll see you in a couple of days."</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Police did an
extensive search along with a K9 unit but nothing turned up. They walked the Olentangy
River, searched the sewers and even looked through dumpsters in the area. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Eddie Vedder also
pitched in on the hunt to find the missing med student and read out a description
of him while holding up the missing flyer at a Pearl Jam show not long after
Brian went missing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Strangely, on the 23<sup>rd</sup> of September when Brian’s girlfriend called
his phone, just as she did routinely each night, it rang. It rang several more
time, each time going to voicemail when it wasn’t answered. Either the phone
was turned on after several months, or it was a temporary malfunction on the

32 year old Beverly England went missing on June 12th, 1980.

Kristin Westra had suffered several sleepless nights before she went missing. She had been feeling stressed out and arranged an emergency meeting regarding anxiety and her mental health. That night, she and her husband lay in bed reading before going to sleep before work, but Kristin could not stop tossing and turning. The following morning when her husband woke up she was nowhere to be found. Several days later two children playing in a field stumbled upon a body.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
On the 2<sup>nd</sup> of March, 2010, 18 year old student
Russell Bohling left his parents’ house in East Riding, Bempton, Yorkshire,
never to be seen again.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
According to his parents version of events he left the
family home at around 8AM and was dressed slightly smarter than usual in a
black Ben Sherman jacket, blue jeans and black training shoes. His car was missing
from its parking space outside of the house, indicating he had left in it that
day. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Russell was doing a course in bricklaying at the nearby
Bishop Burton College at the time, but it has never been confirmed if he was
supposed to attend any classes on the day he vanished.<o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(<a href="http://www.itv.com/news/calendar/topic/bempton-cliffs/">Source</a>)</span></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
When Bohling failed to return home that day, his parents
reported him missing. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The following morning the teenager’s Renault Clio
was found parked near a Cliffside known as “Bempton cliffs’. The vehicle was
discovered by one of the employees working on the nature reserve which was (and
still is) ran by the RSPB. Bempton cliffs is often visited by those interesting
in observing the puffins on the Cliffside and is nearby an abandoned RAF radar
station popular with urban explorers. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A parking ticket was displayed on the window of Russell’s
car. The time stamp revealed that the ticket had been purchased at 11:30AM on
the day that he went missing. The worker noticed that the vehicle was still
parked there at 5PM but thought nothing of it until it next day when it was still there.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Russell Bohling’s parents were suspicious that their son had
managed to drive from their home in East Riding to Bempton cliffs without using his debit car
to fill up the tank. They informed police that he had only 10GBP in cash and
under 4 liters of petrol in his tank on the morning that he disappeared. The
cliffs are a 45 minute journey one way and they were confident he didn’t have
enough cash on his person or enough petrol in his tank to drive there without once
stopping to fill up. Russell’s bank informed investigators that no transactions
had been made on his account on the day that he went missing. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Russell’s parents did some investigative work of their own
and came to the conclusion that their son would have needed to stop at a gas
station, likely in Brandersburton, just under halfway to Bempton. They insisted
that he would have nowhere near the amount of money to fill up and fully
subscribe to the idea that he was not alone on the trip.<br />
They looked to his
SATNAV for clues and discovered that leading up to the day of his disappearance
he had taken trips to York, Bradford and Bridlington. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
York is around 47 miles from Russell’s home in East Riding.
It would take him just under an hour and a half one way. Bradford is around 64
miles and just over an hour and a half by car. Bridlington is the closest to
his home, around 20miles away and just a 40 minute drive via the A1. He didn’t
tell anyone in his family that he had made these trips. He simply left and
returned home without mentioning where he had been.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So what exactly was Russell doing at Bempton cliffs? <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The police initially believed that he had traveled there to
commit suicide as the cliffs are a suicide hotspot, however a body never washed up onto shore. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A user over at reddit /unresolvedmysteries recounted their
visit to RAF Bempton and revealed that there was a steep slope leading down to
a quick drop off the side of the cliffs and believe that he could of
accidentally fell to his death- but again, no body was ever recovered. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The police had found what is mentioned in many online
articles as “a suicide tape” in Russell Bohling’s bedroom. When I first read
this I imagined they were talking about a video recording, but it turns out it
was an audio recording found on a Dictaphone. On the tape, Russell talks about
wanting to be buried in the countryside as he believed that he wasn’t intelligent
enough and it upset him. The teenager’s mother claims that the recording was
made at a time when Russell was stressed out about his GCSE results. He was
supposedly 15 years old when he made the tape. His parents insist that
the only reason it exists was due to the stress Russell felt when thinking
about his future and that with time and confidence his fears for the future faded. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Russell’s parents had a completely different theory for why
their son may have visited Bempton cliffs that day- his
interest in the nearby disused RAF radar station. They claim that Russell had a
particular interest in the bunker, which is popular with urban explorers and hasn’t
been open to the public since the early eighties when it was bought by a
private owner.<br />
<br />
Apparently Russell carried around a USB
stick with pictures of the “pornographic and devilish” graffiti that decorates
the walls of the abandoned building.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The bunker, which was in operation from the 1940's, has been
the subject of sinister rumors since the seventies. Locals believe it was used by a
“Satanic cult” and that sacrifices and rituals were performed.
There are no articles (that I can find) that mention anything of the sort going
on at the disused bunker, but ask a local and they just may tell tales of a
devil-worshipping group having orgies and sacrificing animals. Despite the
buildings reputation, most locals are generally aware that the cults never
existed. Some will offer that the <a href="http://www.the600club.com/topic84040-1.html">tales are urban legends</a> conjured up after raves and parties were thrown by students from the nearby university
many moons ago. Some say they believe the “cult” was just a bunch of squatters
who had to be evicted by police in the seventies. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/3457072429">This album</a> hosted on FLICKR details the artwork inside and includes diagrams and a layout of the building. There are also
numerous blog posts online recording peoples visits. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIrwN7r5g3So4Q8kHvFFUjyU8JddLdlALZ91Jc67FSubhb96KAHhy2WiPTUFLHHShIYBhrPfKmTpoMjuffqSRrzek5QketzJ0mi1bL2IwoJotAJdTUI2NXy01kPEPVpNSF9miERqLeY-un/s1600/raf6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="672" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIrwN7r5g3So4Q8kHvFFUjyU8JddLdlALZ91Jc67FSubhb96KAHhy2WiPTUFLHHShIYBhrPfKmTpoMjuffqSRrzek5QketzJ0mi1bL2IwoJotAJdTUI2NXy01kPEPVpNSF9miERqLeY-un/s640/raf6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one of the more tame examples, click <a href="https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/raf-bempton-rotor-bunker-11-09-nsfw.45028/">HERE</a><< to be taken to a forum to see some of the more explicit pieces. </div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The “Satanic graffiti” consists of paintings of naked figures
in sheels having orgies. The artwork itself is pretty well done, considering. People with devil horns growing out of their heads with their genitals on display dance around the walls of the bunker surrounded by general graffiti tropes commonly found scrawled on the walls of most abandoned buildings,
such as “666”, “this way to hell” and the nicknames of visitors.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
An article in a local newspaper reports that Russell didn’t find
the images of the graffiti online. Apparently the pictures were
copied from a USB stick and pasted in a folder on his desktop. I couldn’t find
anything about the whereabouts of the memory stick.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Russell’s father, Roger Bohling, suspects that his son was
involved with an unknown person linked to the graffiti in the bunker. I assume
he doesn’t believe that a satanic cult sacrificed him, rather that Russell may have
been in contact with someone who agreed to go visit the bunker with him, but in
reality had sinister ulterior motives. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rO68TBIWSQU/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rO68TBIWSQU?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Russell Bohling had speech disorder that his parents believe
made him vulnerable. For example, he would have a hard time voicing
disagreement and would instead go along with something that he didn’t necessarily
want to do. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So what would someone want from Russell? Why him?<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Well, apparently Russell Bohling stood to receive a
300,000GBP windfall from his father to start his own business. An article in
the Yorkshire post states that the 300,000GBP would be signed over to Russell
in the form of a semi-detached house with which he could do whatever he wanted.
Russell has two brothers, Nigel (then 23) and Andrew (then 22) and they too were set to inherit the same amount. Russell was
scheduled to receive his windfall as soon as he turned 18, but he was yet to receive
the property at the time he went missing. Apparently the 18 year old planned to start
his own business. Money is always a likely motive for murder as
we often times see people disappear or die under suspicious circumstances shortly after taking out
life insurance policies. Surely an outsider would have nothing to
gain from the death of Russell as he hadn’t even received his money.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Russell’s parents rule out their son as a walk-away arguing that if he was to voluntarily
disappear he surely would have waited for his 300,000GBP windfall before doing so.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Sea, mountain and air searches for the missing 18 year old
turned up nothing. It was if he had simply vanished into thin air. Fire and
rescue searched the bunker aided with torches and heat sensitive camera equipment.
In 2012 they returned to search once again, this time the Bohling family shelled out
over 1000GBP to cover the cost of pulling up the concrete that had been laid to keep out addicts. Still, authorities found no trace of Russell. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
His parents believe he is no longer alive. They think the
answers to what happened to their son that day are in the USB, that whoever gave him those images had some involvement in his death. Russell had indeed searched about the RAF bunker online before his disappearance but that’s
no surprise as he already had the images and the intention to visit. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Now, about Roger Bohling. I was honestly shocked to find out
the next piece of information.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Russell’s father, Roger, turned his personal computer in to
Humberside Police in what an article in the Yorkshire post describes as “a
desperate bid to find his son”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
This gesture did not lead police to the missing 18 year old,
but instead lead to the discovery of (then) 57 year old Roger Bohling’s child porn
stash.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
This collection of images consisted of what has been
described as 415 pictures of kids in “erotic poses” as well as 3 images of
people “engaging in sexual acts with animals”.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Apparently Roger Bohling did not download the images but
obtained them via a memory stick from a relative. He then went on to burn the
collection of images onto a CD.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
These images were officially classed as “low level” CP and were said to be
pictures that may have been of children on vacation. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Roger suffers from a degenerative brain issue due to an
accident he had years ago and apparently once informed his family that planned
to commit suicide on account of the disease. If Russell knew about this, it
would have been an extremely difficult and upsetting thought to deal with. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Russell’s parents claimed that a pair of brown steel toe
capped boots were missing from their son’s room. Later, a foot laced up into
the same type of boot washed up onto shore. Testing proved that the foot did
not belong to Russell.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
His parents insisted that a certain pair of shoes their
son was wearing on the day he disappeared were found in the family summer home
in Ravenscar two years after he vanished.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Admittedly in a sea of
generic folk from the 1940’s dressed in suits and hats, the dude in the shades
and casual clothing holding a portable camera does stand out- but is his
casual attire really undeniable evidence of time travel? </span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After much excitement the
seemingly modern items in the photograph were proven to have been available and
on the market at the time the image was captured. The logo tee turned out to be
a hockey jersey, the protective glasses were on sale at the time and
the camera was confirmed by Kodak as likely being a Kodak 35, which was

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So, friends, it’s now time for us to look into the newest time traveler on the block, a man from the year 2030-
the man known only as “Noah”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently the first video of Noah appeared on
YouTube on the 17<sup>th</sup> of November 2017. The first result on YouTube is
a video by a channel called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClWKE7DOpiTYFhtsw1qbv-A">paranormal
elite</a> that currently has 33K subscribers. The video, titled “<b><i>Time
Traveler Who Has Been To The Year 2030 Shares His Experiences</i></b>”, is (<i>at
the time I write this</i>) sitting at over 2million views. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The introduction lays
out the basic information we need to know about who Noah is. The channel claims
that an individual located in Guadalajara, Mexico contacted them via phone and
claimed to be an ex-US government worker who was fired after failing a
time-travel mission in South America. The individual identified himself as only “Noah” as he
feared he would be taken out by the US government if they were to discover his
identity. Noah claimed that he was 50 years old, but had taken an age reversal
drug that shaved off 25 years, making him appear to be 25 years old. He told
Paranormal Elite that the constant time travel had affected him mentally that
he has depression and an eating disorder as a result. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After the introduction
we see a video of Noah clad in a burgundy with his face obscured, reading from
a pre-written statement explaining that he is a time traveler and wants <b>to prove</b>
to us all that time travel will be available to the public in 2028.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To do so, he claims that he has traveled
back to the 13<sup>th</sup> of November 2017 from the year 2021- which he
claims is where he existed for most of his “natural life”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The statement is then interrupted
by Noah getting seemingly overwhelmed before asking for a moment to compose himself . At one point he starts sobbing and the P.E
channel slides in a message telling viewers not to feel bad as they have donated
around “$700 in food and water to help him get by”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In order to prove that
he really is from the future, Noah has provided us with a list of predictions
for technologies that will be available to us in the near future- 2021 to be
exact. </span></div>

the 5<sup>th</sup> of August, 2018, a YouTube channel called <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4eR_m8Fl0bVB7P_BEzX3fw">APEX TV</a></b> boasting
686K followers posted a follow up interview with Noah titled: “<i>Time Traveler
Noah From 2030 Tells His Story</i>”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
far cry from the 3 minute video originally posted on Paranormal Elite, this
video is over 37 minutes long. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Now
I actually sat down and watched that 37 minute video</span></b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> (<i>I know</i>) and I thought I’d recap it
here for you, so you can skim-read what Noah claims to be his story:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In 2025
Noah was in his teens and attending high school. He was bullied for having a
stutter as a child, but was smart and got good grades- in fact he got straight
A’s across the board. One day, out of the blue, a pair of men with shaved heads, clad in suits (he accidentally describes them as “tuxedos”)
had him pulled into the office and forced him into a top secret government program where
he would have to travel through time to complete missions and the past and future. He was prohibited to tell anyone about
the project and began to feel isolated from the rest of the world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He
was driven out to a military complex in the middle of the Nevada desert where
he had to register as a worker. He was then led down a
staircase into a basement level facility where he saw an unfathomably large
glass time machine crawling with mechanics. He signed an 8 year contact with
the government and was put into a small class of trainees (five in
total) and lived at an on-site dorm with minimal furnishings. From
there he studied until it came time to take the final exam, which he passed. A
chip was then implanted into his left wrist- a painful procedure that had him
in intense pain for several days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Noah hated the job, but he could be at least relieved
in the knowledge that he didn’t have a contract as long as some of the others in
his class, some of whom received 50 – life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">His
group consisted of three males and one female. The government, he realized, preferred
to hire straight white males when it came to time travel, so he was surprised that
they hired both a woman and an “Arab man named Reuben” , both of who were
members of his group the first time they went on a time travel mission. Rueben
was a first timer too, and the pair became friends. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In
order to time travel, he had to gear up into a large suit made of metal. After
a computerized voice countdown the metal suit was shocked with electricity and
he later woke up lightheaded and disorientated. He found himself in the year
2009, guided by his supervisor. He and his teammates spent a week in the year 2009 at
the same military complex from which they had time traveled, doing manual jobs such
as running boxes from the building to trucks outside. Other project employees had
been time traveling to the past to set up domes as hot-spots for future time travel
missions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Noah was
tasked with studying history.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
He
studied extra-terrestrials as a segment on future-history and the advancement of
technology and crypto currencies as a study of the past, all the while noting
down information that was to be later entered into a huge government database. Noah
was unsure what they wanted with the information and came to the conclusion that
the government just simply wanted to know and record everything.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">His
final job took place in South America where his group was sent to time travel
in order to study cartels, most notably narcoterrorist Pablo “king of cocaine” Escobar
who was killed in 1993. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">During
the mission, the team got into an altercation at a local bar creating a time
paradox. The following morning he awoke to the news that he had been fired and
had been abandoned in the year 2017. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Left
without a job and abandoned outside of his “natural year” he took to
freelancing online as a graphic designer. The minimum wage salary the
government been paying him had left him with empty pockets and the food and shelter
they had originally covered was no longer provided. He found himself living
between cheap apartments in South America. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There
you have it- Noah’s story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I
found out that Noah actually reached out to ApexTV<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of his own accord (or so he says), after
seeing another video on the channel about a time traveler titled “<i>Time Traveler
Who Has Been to The Year 2118 Speaks Out</i>”. The monetized video has over 7 million
views and likely raked in a lot of money in ad revenue. Follow-up videos about
the same individual include Q&A’s and “Photographic evidence” of the future
in the form of a grainy looking futuristic city with twisted jade towers that
also look like cacti from a distance. <o:p></o:p></div>

of the videos on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4eR_m8Fl0bVB7P_BEzX3fw">APEXTV channel </a>are time-travelers “telling all” and

</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Time travel, however, seems to be their niche and they can generate millions of

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Noah recently
did a 2 hour live stream answering people’s questions. Even in the name of
research I cannot bring myself to sit through a two hour stream, but I did click-skip through it and it seems to be Noah answering viewers questions on topic such as “will
North Korea do it?” (To which he replies, yes, but he can’t say where”), “is
the Earth round?” (Not sure we need a time traveler for that answer) “Is rap
still relevant in the future?” (Yes) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When
a viewer asked Noah how old he is, he talks about how he should be 21 but has
been taking “age pills” before stating “I was born in the year 2007. So right
now I am 11 years old. I’m probably out there in middle school, somewhere in
the United states”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the host asked
if he would be up for meeting himself he says he isn’t sure- then astoundingly Noah reveals his full name.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This
honestly made me pause for a minute, because while researching this guy he was
banging on about not letting anyone to know his identity for fear of being killed off
by the government and then suddenly in a stream he just announces that his full
name is “<b>Noah Novak</b>”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lie detector tests. Even when legitimate, these tests are not 100% accurate and
if you can control the symptoms of anxiety, you can control the test. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also have to take into account that if, for
example, an individual suffering from delusions answers questions about what they truly believe
to be their reality, no deception would be recorded in a lie detector test. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

(Vancouver Island, British Colombia, Canada UFO related disappearance in 1980) <div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I recently remembered
reading about the case of a UFO enthusiast who went missing one night in the
eighties after leaving a note about going on a journey to outer space and
really wanted to look into it. The story is wild, so I thought I’d dig a little

<b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Disappearance:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On the 29<sup>th</sup>
of November, 1980, a 32 year old man named Granger Ormond Taylor walked out of
his parent’s home in Duncan, Vancouver Island, British Colombia, Canada. He
left behind a strange hand written note, promising his valuables and money to
his parents and explaining that he was going to board an alien spacecraft where
he would go on a trip around the universe. A hand-drawn map of Waterloo Mountain
was sketched on the back of goodbye note. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The note: </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
“<i>Dear Mother and
Father, I have gone away to walk aboard an alien spaceship, as recurring dreams
assured a 42-month interstellar voyage to explore the vast universe, then
return. I am leaving behind all my possessions to you as I will no longer
require the use of any. Please use the instructions in my will as a guide to
help. Love, Granger.</i>”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Granger had also left
a will. He had scribbled out the word “death” in the document, and corrected it
instead with “departure”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I have questions: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">1. Was this a suicide
note?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
2. Did Granger truly believe
he was going off into space with his alien associates? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
3. If so, how did he imagine
this would be achieved? (for example, did he believe he was going to wait atop a mountain and be picked up in a UFO)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
4. Was suicide involved
in this mission?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When I read about this case I can’t help but think
of the group suicide orchestrated by Marshall Applewhite and the “Heaven’s gate”
cult. Applewhite taught that suicide was needed in order to board a spacecraft
that would be trailing behind the Hale–Bopp comet. (<a href="http://www.heavensgate.com/">View their active website here</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Did Granger Taylor
have a hypothesis of his own when it came to inter-dimensional travel? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Also, note that he
gives a time frame for his return: 42 months, or 3 and a half years. Did he
cross out “death” in his will and replace it with “departed” because he truly
believed that he would return to Earth after 42 months of interstellar travel? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The man:</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The note was found in
the barn which Granger used as a workshop. He had a knack for taking things
apart and putting them back together and was a naturally talented mechanic.
Granger eventually dropped out of high school to pursue his calling and worked
at a mechanic shop in the area. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He went
on to rebuild various vehicles he found out in the woods in the surrounding areas
of Duncan, such as a small World War 2 biplane, a train engine and a bulldozer.
Granger restored the bi-plane (A Kitty Hawk) to such a degree that it reportedly
later sold for $20,000 a year or so after he went missing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He even constructed his own alien space craft
in the backyard. Apparently he made it from scrap metal and a couple of discarded
satellite dishes and spent endless hours reading, researching and studying the
mechanics that went into creating such a craft. The obsession with this project
may have come from the fact that he reportedly believed he was in communication
with alien beings. Apparently he would talk openly about the conversations he
had with the aliens, even mentioning the trip he was going to take on their
craft. From what I can gather, though, his loved ones thought he was talking
about dreams or fantasies and never for a moment though he would one day drive
off into the night never to be seen again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/yvwjkv/the-man-who-went-to-space-and-disappeared-the-story-of-granger-taylor">In
an interview with Vice</a>, a friend of Taylors, Mr. Robert Keller, explains
that the missing man did frequently dream that aliens were going to collect him
one day and that he actually slept in the space craft he constructed, now and
again. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/940439/Alien-abduction-man-disappeared-after-built-UFO">An
article in the express</a> describes the UFO as more of a space-themed
structure that could be comfortably slept in overnight and had been fitted with
various pieces of furniture, a TV set and stove. Taylor would sit inside of the
craft and mill over the mechanics behind powering such a vehicle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I managed to find a
picture of the craft (here) and it really is quite impressive. It has a real
retro look to it, a sort of up-turned flat-topped straw hat with a domed saucer
on top and bunny ear antennas. It's reminiscent of the style of UFO you find in old stories of self-proclaimed
alien abduction victims from the sixties and seventies. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Those who knew him
describe him as a genius, lonely, a gentle giant, a brilliant eccentric with a
love for all things outer space who liked to smoke a blunt now and again. He
was serious about his creations, though, and he was serious about the existence
of extra-terrestrial life forms. According to friends Granger Taylor had been
dropping acid several times a day in the lead up to his disappearance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So what about the map
of the mountain drawn on the reverse side of Grangers goodbye note? Waterloo mountain
is just under 20 miles from Taylor’s parent house in Duncan via Holt road. It
would have taken him around 50 minutes to drive there in his highlighter pink 1972
Datsun pickup, but let’s also keep in mind that the night of November 29<sup>th</sup>
was a rainy one. Searches of the weather for that specific date don’t correlate
with the “raging storms” noted in other articles as we’re lead to believe, but
still, dark night, slick road, possibility of an accident? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If the map of the
mountain had any connection to where he was planning to drive that night, the
32 year old would have been in for a rough hike. There are <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/rescued-vancouver-island-hikers-admit-we-made-a-mistake-1.1876214">many
stories</a> online of people attempting to hike on Vancouver Island in less
than perfect weather conditions and having to be airlifted to safety after
getting stranded for several days. Looking at the drive from his hometown to
Waterloo Mountain we can see how rural and isolated the area is, nothing but
trees and I imagine darkness for miles. Could it be a possibility that Granger
Taylor veered off course or had an accident? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The conspiracy theory articles
you can find online about this case indicate that no car or remains relating to
Granger Taylor were ever found, but this is not correct. It may add to the
spooky-factor to tell people he vanished without a trace, but it’s simply not
true. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Take a look at this
newspaper clipping and you’ll see that six years after Taylor went missing
fragments of his Datsun pickup and pieces of human bone were found at a blast
site nearby Mount Prevost. Mount Prevost is just under an hour away from
Duncan. The bones were eventually identified as the remains of Granger Taylor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So what happened? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Apparently Taylor had
dynamite with him in his truck. It’s not as random as it sounds, as he
regularly used dynamite to dispose of tree-stumps on his parents land. Either
accidentally or deliberately the explosives blew up both granger and the car.
The only thing we’re not sure of is, how and why.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Did he blow himself up
or was it an accident? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Nobody knows for sure,
but in my opinion, I feel as though coupled with the goodbye note and will,
that he it’s certainly possible he did it on purpose. Check out the article:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Tiffany Daniels was a
25 year old woman from Dallas, Texas who lived, worked and studied in Pensacola,
Florida. According to one of Tiffany’s high-school classmates (who made <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/6phta9/the_disappearance_of_tiffany_daniels/">THIS
post</a> in r/unresolvedmysteries) the missing young woman completed the
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at Pensacola High School. She
then went on to work at the Pensacola State College as a state technician,
painting the sets for various productions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Missing: </b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On the 11<sup>th</sup>
of August, 2011, Tiffany H. Daniels went to meet her boyfriend for breakfast. It
was a slightly somber occasion as the young man was relocating to Austin to
study robotics at the University of Texas. Although understandably down at the
prospect of a long distance relationship, Daniels had high spirits about the idea of visiting her boyfriend in Austin. He had originally invited her to move there with him, but despite her love for adventure, she declined in
favor of staying put in Florida. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In various reports
online her family and friends describe her as “free-spirited”, “an artist”, “friendly”
and “creative”. Tiffany was very sociable, positive and charismatic. She regularly
hosted well-attended local events such as swing blues dance nights and everyone
who came into contact with her seemed to love her. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After reading several articles
about the case I get the feeling that she was one of those kind-hearted, hippie
girls who just liked being around nature, hiking and appreciating the surroundings a picturesque place like Pensacola has to offer. It seems as though she just liked
to be around people she could vibe with and put on events to attract kindred
spirits and enjoy life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The next day, on the
12<sup>th</sup>, Tiffany clocked out of work at 4:43 in the afternoon-
earlier than she usually left work, but she had been granted permission to do
so after asking earlier in the day. On her way out of work she informed her
supervisor that she wouldn’t back for several days but neglected to give a
reason for her absence. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">All I can find online
regarding an excuse for her time off was that she "had things to take care of."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">According to <a href="http://charleyproject.org/case/tiffany-heaven-daniels">the Charley
project page</a> for her case she was last seen at 5pm in the university car
park. I assume she was getting into her car, which is described as a Toyota
4Runner in the color gray with the registration number ECBOR. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">From there she is thought
to have driven home to the place she shared with her roommate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Apparently she briefly
returned home but quickly left. Her roommate was there at the time, however he said he in his room having a phone call with his girlfriend and did not see Tiffany, only
heard what he believed to be her returning home quickly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Roommate: </span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Now Tiffany met her roommate
on Craigslist after placing an advert there. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I know several of you most likely
cringed reading that, considering the craigslist horror stories out there, but
the man who responded, although more than double her age, turned out to be the
father of one of her friends. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His name was Gary Nichols and he was 54 years
old. It sounds strange on paper, but the two<i> did seem</i> to have a lot of things
in common (such as meat-free diets and various pastimes etc.) and they seemed to be good friends,
plus, he was old enough and responsible enough to pay the rent on time,
something Tiffany’s previous roommates had neglected to do, which had left her
with financial issues. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The night before
Tiffany disappeared, she and Nichols had watched “Monty Python and the Holy
grail” in preparation for the production she had been working on, “Spamalot”,
which was set to open the following night. Nichols claimed that they both
retired to their respective rooms for the night when the film was over in order
to be refreshed for work the next day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The following morning,
the 54 year old noticed something off about his roommate’s routine- Tiffany had
gotten up very early (for her) at around 5am, which he says, was very unlike
her. He claims he <i>heard</i> what he believed to be Daniels getting up and
opening and closing the door repeatedly but didn’t see her, despite getting out
of bed to have a look. Although unusual, he shrugged it off and went back to
sleep, leaving later at his usual time of 7AM. On his way out he noticed that Tiffany’s
car wasn’t parked outside and assumed that she’d just left early to work. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Apparently she arrived
at work on time. What time was that exactly?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>Does that mean there were a couple of hours where she was off
doing something else? If so, what was she doing exactly? </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When Tiffany didn’t go
home that night, Gary Nichols went into dad-mode and called his daughter asking
what he should do. His daughter assured him that Tiffany was likely fine and
probably just off hanging out with other friends, which is a fine assumption to
make considering how sociable she was. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The fact that Nichols
worried about her not coming back, and the fact that her family was unaware of
any upcoming road trips, makes me think that the Pensacola State College was
the only place that Daniels informed she was leaving.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>Why would she inform her
place of work, but not her roommate, family or friends? </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Gary Nichols called
Tiffany’s phone several times over the following day and night, and eventually
convinced his daughter to send a Facebook message to Tiffany’s parents. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
remainder of the week was spent contacting a long list of the missing woman’s
friends, before eventually hitting a dead end and calling the local police to officially
report her missing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">People of interest:</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Tiffany’s boyfriend
was one of the first persons of interest in the case, but he was found to have
been in Austin at the time of her disappearance, just like he said he was. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Roommate Gary Nichols
had expressed concern instantly at the disappearance and since there was no signs
of foul play back at the house they shared, he was never
really considered a suspect by investigators. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The car:</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Just over a week after
the young woman had been missing, a family friend who had been jogging in the
area stumbled upon Tiffany Daniels car in a parking lot in park west, which Google
maps informs us non-locals is a public beach on Fort Pickens Rd, Pensacola
Beach, Florida. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Her phone, bag, wallet
and bike were all found still inside of the vehicle, as well as a few articles
of clothing, water and a jar of peanut butter. Two finger prints (one on the
wheel and one of the door handle) were found by police, they did not match Tiffany’s
prints.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The only way to get to
the beach is by crossing over Bob Sikes Fishing Pier, so naturally police checked
the CCTV cameras and discovered that the car had crossed over the bridge to the
island at exactly 7:51PM on the night that Tiffany went missing. </span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The footage
was not clear enough to determine if Tiffany was the driver or not. When police
asked locals for information they were informed that the vehicle had not been
parked there for the entire several days that Tiffany had been missing. According
to several witnesses who lived in an apartment overlooking the car park the car
had been parked there no more than two days before it was discovered by the
Daniel family’s friend. Some witnesses even said they saw a man climb out of
the vehicle and that it was parked in a disorganized way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Two years later another witness would contact the police to inform them that on the day Tiffany’s car
was found parked at the beach they saw a shirtless man clad in red shorts
opening the trunk of the vehicle. They described him as being white and between
the age of 30-40. . Apparently this matches up with the description/ statement

January of 2014. She claimed that a well-dressed, older Latina woman sat down
at a table with two younger women, one of which, she claimed, looked just like
Tiffany Daniels, whom she had remembered from news reports. She said the girl
enquired about the broth used in one of the dishes she was considering
ordering, asking if the stock was chicken or fish based. Tiffany was a pescatarian.
When the waitress pointed out she looked like a missing girl named Tiffany
Daniels, the three left. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">15 year old Amy
Fitzpatrick went missing while on vacation in the city of Málaga, Spain on New Year’s
Day 2008. Málaga is part of the Costa Del Sol region of Spain and although it’s
one of the most populated cities in the Andalusia popular with party-goers the area is lush with nature
and bordered by the Mediterranean Sea. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Fitzpatrick was originally
from Coolock in Dublin, Ireland but her mother, Audrey, had moved the family abroad
with her new partner, Dave Mahon, in 2004 in order to “start over”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Amy and her family had
plans to spend Christmas in Ireland, but unfortunately for Amy, who disliked living in Spain, those plans fell through. The disappointment
of not being able to return home for the holidays and spend time with her dad upset Amy, especially since the family skipped the festivities back home so Audrey could stay in Málaga with Mahon. </span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Amy
didn’t know it at the time, but her <a href="http://www.thejournal.ie/amy-fitzpatrick-missing-ten-years-3744019-Dec2017/">aunt
would later admit to the media</a> that the only reason Christmas in Ireland
didn’t happen was due to Amy’s step-dad, Dave, getting himself into trouble in the
Costa del sol. </span>On the night she went missing, Amy had been at
the home of a friend, Ashley Rose, helping to babysit the girl's little brother.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Ashley Rose was one of the few friends that Amy had in the area. She lived
locally nearby the Las Lomas De Riviera Club apartment complex, where Amy was
staying with her mother, brother and step-dad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Various theories
pertaining to what happened that night were discussed over the years. The first was that
Amy was abducted on her walk home. Or, that she decided to go to a bar before
returning to the apartment her family was staying at. People speculated that
she may have met someone, an older man perhaps, who kidnapped her.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There was an unconfirmed sighting of Amy at at bar, but as far as I can see, nothing came of it. </span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Ashley and Amy spent
almost every single day together and kept in contact during the rare days they
were apart. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ashley described how Amy
would always have her Irish cell phone with her, which she kept her contacts
in. She stated that the missing girl was never without her phone and that the
pair would always listen to music on it and that she would refer back to it
when needing to call someone from Amy’s landline phone at her home. She would
also pull up her Dad’s phone number back home in Ireland when they went to
internet café’s so she could talk with him. Amy wanted to live with her father
back in Ireland, and wasn’t fond of her step dad whom she reportedly said “<i>made
her skin crawl</i>”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
Nokia cellphone became a big issue in the case. Several months later in August
2008 the lawyer working on the case, a (then) 32 year man named <b>Juan José de la
Fuente Teixidó</b> had his property burgled. The burglar neglected to take anything
of monetary value from his home but took items relating to the missing
Fitzpatrick girls case, such as his laptop containing his research and documents. He
was sleeping at the time of the robbery and claimed the culprits got through
the back entrance of the building. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">According
to <a href="http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2010/05/20/andalucia_malaga/1274373284.html">this
article</a> in a Spanish newspaper, Juan José de la Fuente Teixidó told
reporters that the evidence stolen would not damage the investigation as they were
mainly back-up documents. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><b>It is
also reported that the Nokia cell phone was stolen. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I
found a few reports indicating that the missing 15 year old had been sleeping
rough. Apparently she <a href="http://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2011/05/24/amy-fitzpatrick-missing/">kept
a journal</a> where she wrote about living in a cardboard box and fishing for
food in trashcans with illustrations of her doing so. She wrote things like “<i>I haven’t
showered in 2 years</i>”. People describe Amy as being thin and oftentimes not
attending school and sleeping in fields. <b>I read in one report that she wasn’t
even enrolled in school</b>, a neglectful act in and of itself on her mother’s part.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Was
the journal a metaphor for how much she hated life in Spain or was it simply the cathartic scrawling of a depressed teenager unhappy with her life? </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Ashley
Roses mother <a href="http://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2011/05/24/amy-fitzpatrick-missing/">told
reporters</a> that Amy often stayed with them and even borrowed clothes and
shoes from her daughter because the clothes she was wearing were falling to
pieces. Also we know that Amy's mother and her mother’s partner <b>did not report
her missing until January 3<sup>rd</sup></b>. Most parents would panic if their
child was even a few hours late coming home, especially in a foreign country, a couple days seems like a long time to wait
when there’s a missing teenager. </span>The fact that her primary caregivers didn't report her instantly could give weight to the idea that she really didn't spend much time at home. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
mother of one of Amy’s school friends actually wrote to the Irish embassy in
Spain expressing her concern for the unhappy girl. Eerily she urges the embassy
to intervene and warns them if they don’t <b>it will only be a matter of time
before she disappears</b>. Amy’s mother Audrey claimed the woman was crazy and was
making things up in order to make a profit. From what I can see online, several
media outlets have seen this letter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
So
later in 2009 Audrey’s mother claimed she received a phone call from an
anonymous male who spoke in what she described as an <i>African accent</i>. He claimed
that Amy was in Madrid and that he knew where she was and would hand her over
in exchange for 500,000 Euros. Amy’s mother agreed. As far as I can find
nothing came of it. The calls and texts came from two different phone numbers
from pre-paid / disposable cell phones:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">-</span>
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">672 564 681 (calls)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">-</span>
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">672 564 687 (texts) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Dean
Mahon, the step-father that Amy reportedly hated, stabbed her brother Dean to
death in 2013. He claimed that Dean ran into a knife he was wielding during an
argument and got several years for manslaughter. Amy’s mother, Audrey,
continued to stand by the man who murdered her son, saying she had forgiven but
not forgotten. She eventually married Dave Mahon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

"The knights of the crystal blade" was a small, polygamist fundamentalist Mormon offshoot founded by a man named Samuel Shaffer. The cult believed that Doomsday would arrive in the form of a “Muslim invasion” and planned to kidnap children leading up to the end days.

When men started turning up dead in Toronto's gay village, Church and Wellesley, regulars started to get worried. All the victims, bar one, were of middle eastern or Asian descent and had disappeared in the mid to late 2000's.<br />
Investigators turned their attention to a man who had stalked and harassed people in the same area almost two decades ago, a man named Bruce McArthur (<a href="https://genwhypod.com/blogs/the-generation-why-podcast-blog/alleged-toronto-serial-killer-identified-as-bruce-mcarthur">continue</a>)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey everyone, I was recently researching some old unsolved cases I've posted about here in the past and found out that "<b>The Buckskin girl</b>" has finally been identified. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you remember, the Buckskin girl, (who was nicknamed so on account of a unique handmade, deer skin poncho she was found wearing) was an unidentified, female homicide victim found in Troy, Ohio, on April 23rd 1981.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>To quote my original post on the case:</b><br />
"<i>She was found fully clothed, although shoeless, with no signs of sexual assault. She had died due to blunt trauma to the head. Believed to have possibly been a hitchhiking teenage runaway, or even the possible victim of a serial killer, she was estimated between the ages of 18 - 26. She was white, between 5'4 and 5'6, with brown eyes and brown / red hair parted in the center and pulled back into two high braids. She had a scar on her chin, wrist, arm and ankle.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Due to the good condition of the body, investigators were able to obtain DNA, finger prints and dental information. Despite having the samples, the Buckskin girl has lay unidentified in Riverside cemetery, Troy, Ohio for 34 years, So, who was the Buckskin girl? And who killed her?</i>"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well it seems we can answer at least one of those questions now: Her name was <b>Marcia Lenore King</b>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was 21 years old and came from Littlerock, Arkansas. She was identified recently using her DNA with the help of<b> the DNA Doe project</b> (<i>Read their FB update on the case <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DNADoeProject/posts/2015984178660357">HERE</a></i>)</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On the <b>28th of July
1986</b>, 25 year old <b>Suzy Lamplugh</b> disappeared from <b>Fulham, South
London</b>, where she worked as a real estate agent. She had previously been
employed as a beautician on the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship, but had decided
to take a new direction.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Following clues found
in her work planner, police discovered that she had left her office at Sturges
estate agents on Fullham road around lunch time in order to meet a client who
was interested in a £130,000 property on Shorrolds road. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“37 Shorrolds road
o/s” the note said. “12:45, Mr. Kipper”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“o/s” is believed to
stand for “outside”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">According to Google
maps, it’s only a six minute drive from the office to the property. Suzy
climbed into her <b>white Ford Fiesta company car</b>, <b>registration number B396GAN</b>
and presumably made her way to the appointment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Mr. Kipper was unknown
to Suzy’s co-workers. They had no record of him on file at the office and it
wasn’t a name any of them recognized. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When the 25 year old
failed to return to the office, her family was contacted, and in turn, they
contacted the police to report her missing. The police search was thorough.
Officers employed the use of dogs and searched Sharrolds road, the surrounding area including Brompton cemetery and made a trip to the missing woman’s flat in Putney-
just less than 3 miles from her workplace. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There was nothing out of the
ordinary at Suzy’s flat. No sign of a struggle. No evidence that she planned to walk away voluntarily. Everything seemed to be in order. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Police utilized
helicopters to scan parks and cemeteries but found nothing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The first worrying
sign in the case came when the woman’s car was found at around 10pm that night parked on Stevenage road. The
vehicle is described as being hastily parked, blocking off part of a residents garage and the doors
were unlocked. The seat had been adjusted in such a way that investigators
believe someone other than Suzy was driving. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The keys were missing but her purse was in the vehicle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Despite massive media

Lamplugh was nowhere to be found. A search of her company car found no signs of

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Cannan was responsible
for the rape of a woman in the Reading area in 1986. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He was on a train from
Bristol to London and got off at Reading where he committed the crime. Although
he provided an alibi his DNA was present on the victim which eventually led to
his arrest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Cannan then attempted to
kidnap a businesswoman from Bristol, Julia Holman, in the autumn of 1987.
Although he threatened her to comply at gunpoint, she refused to go down
without a fight and escaped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He later murdered a
woman named Shirley Banks whom he killed in Bristol. Banks was the manager of a
local factory and a married woman who was quickly missed by her husband who
searched for her when she did not turn up to a bar they planned to meet at
after her shopping trip. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Strangely, she called into work the following day and
said she wouldn’t be able to come in due to sickness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s thought that Shirley Banks was kept
overnight at John Cannan’s residence at Foye House, Leigh Woods, Bristol, and
that he most likely threatened to hurt her if she didn’t call in to work. He
would have needed her to do this so it would appear as though she had gone
missing voluntarily to give him more time to do whatever he was going to do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After Banks’ husband
reported her missing a massive search was underway. Her picture, name,
description and last known whereabouts were broadcasted on TV and printed in
the media. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">John Cannon committed
crimes so compulsively that it was no surprise that he was eventually caught in
the act and chased down by civilians who alerted the authorities. Police
finally apprehended him on the 29<sup>th</sup> of October, 1987, after an
attempted robbery at a dress shop in Lemmington Spa. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A search of his vehicle, a
black BMW parked a stone’s throw away, turned up a fake plastic pistol (likely
the one he threatened Julia Holman with) and a length of rope. A bag and the
knife he used to threaten various victims were found discarded nearby.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The investigation
continued and as time passed more damning evidence turned up. The tax disc from
Banks’ missing orange Mini Clubman car was found in the glove box of Cannan’s
BMW.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When the Mini was
eventually located in a garage near Cannan’s flat, police discovered the once
orange vehicle had been painted blue in an attempt to disguise the once distinctive
car. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A thumb print in
Cannan’s flat matched that of Shirley. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><b>Her remains were found at “Dead woman’s
ditch” in Somerset, England on the Quantock Hills. She had been raped and bludgeoned
with a rock. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Keep these details in
mind as we continue on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Cannan had been committing
crimes against women since he was just 14 years old. Back in 1968 when he was a
teenager living in Erdington, Warwickshire, he assaulted a woman in a phone
box. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He was actually married from
1978 – 1980 to a woman named June Vale. The couple had a daughter together.
Cannon eventually left his wife for another woman named Daphne Sargent. When
Sargent tried to leave him, he attempted to stop her using violence. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
From there
he began to rob stores and rape women at knifepoint, resulting in his
incarceration at <b>Her Majesties Prison in Bristol</b> where he was serving eight
years. <b>He was transferred to Wormwood Scrubs prison in London, eventually. </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Here’s an interesting
piece of information concerning his whereabouts on the day that Suzy went
missing- <b>Cannan was on day release from wormwood scrubs. </b>The distance
between Wormwood scrubs and Fullham road is just over 4 miles away, an average
of 18 minutes by car.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Those who were unaware
of his criminal history would describe him as good looking and charming. He had
a way with women and claimed that he’d had around 100 one night stands. John
Cannan was fond of middle class professional woman. He had a shtick of his own
that involved playing the role of a business man and wooing his targets with bouquets
of flowers, boxes of candy, champagne and trinkets. If things went well, he
would date them, if they rejected his advances, he would most likely attack
them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://youtu.be/gkFCJnEkm8A">An episode of crimewatch UK</a> about Suzy’s disappearance featured a <a href="https://youtu.be/VwjzZB_gZdY?t=8m17s">dating tape</a> Cannan had made at an agency seeking women. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VwjzZB_gZdY/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VwjzZB_gZdY?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
In it, he comes across as thoughtful and charming.
Listen closely and he may not be as eloquent as he tried so hard to seem, often
using words incorrectly in sentences. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
One of Cannan’s ex-girlfriends
came forward to police to share some disturbing information. She revealed to
investigators that John Cannan had some kind of fascination with Suzy’s case.
<b>At one point while they were driving past Norton Barracks, a military site in Worcestershire,
Cannan said to her “Suzy Lamplugh is buried there”.</b> Police searched the area
extensively but found nothing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A couple of years
later police entertained the idea that the ex-girlfriend was possibly referring
to Norton Manor Royal Marines barracks, located just 8 miles away from where
the body of Shirley Banks was discovered in Somerset. Still, a search turned up
nothing.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span>
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><b>Years later a car linked to Cannan was recovered. It had a fake license plate that said: SLP 386 </b>(possibly Suzy Lamplough, 3rd victim, 1986?)</span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/dad-suffolk-strangler-believes-serial-11629007">Various articles online</a> question whether or not <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5018776/steve-wright-suffolk-strangler-ipswich/">Steve “the Suffolk stranger” Wright</a> could be
responsible for the murder of Suzy Lamplugh.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Apparently this
suspicion came up following a documentary about the serial killer who was
active in Ipswich in the mid 2000’s. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The murders spanned 10
days in which Wright claimed 5 victims. If we look at the Stranglers M.O Suzy
doesn’t appear to fit his victim type, however police found a photograph
amongst the serial killers personal possessions that feature himself and Suzy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He too worked on the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship at the same time as Suzy. He was ruled out as a suspect and denied any role.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I personally can’t
escape the idea that Cannan is responsible. Suzy fits his victim type (“Posh” professional women, 20 something etc.) </span>We also know that he
was near Fulham on the day of her disappearance. We know he talked about Suzy on
many occasions to his girlfriend at the time, making his morbid jokes about
knowing where she was buried. Plus the license plate with what could be an abbreviation
for her name, the year and victim number. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, this article states that Suzy
was being harassed by a man from Bristol (Cannan was born there) who drove
around in a black BMW. Witnesses who saw Suzy with “Mr. Kipper” that day said
the man drove the same kind of car.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Suzy Lamplugh's remains were never found. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>UPDATE:</b> Cannan still denies the killing. Police are in the process of searching his mother's home.<br />

Her pet dog, a German shepherd named Kyra returned to the family home later that day, however Mandy did not.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The body of 19 year old Natalie Bollinger was discovered on a dirt road on the 30th of December 2017. She had been reported missing the previous day by her parents.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Facebook friends were quick to point out that Bollinger had posted previously about having a stalker, and even named the 42 year old man- Shawn Schwartz. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A visit to his profile exposed feed of angry video rants that leave most viewers very unnerved. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He claims he did not have any part in the death of the 19 year old, however he is considered a suspect in the case by many. He was arrested on unrelated charges but is currently out on bail. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Billie Jo Jenkins
didn’t have an easy start in life. Her mother was unable to raise her alone after her father (Bayard Jenkins) was incarcerated and so she was put up for
adoption as a child. Eventually, at the age of 8, she found a home with a
family in the beautiful, historic town of Hastings, East Sussex on the Southeast Coast of England. She was adopted by the Jenkins family who shared her Surname-
a coincidence suggesting it was meant to be. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately for the young girl,
her short life would end in a violent and bloody death.<o:p></o:p></div>

On the 15<sup>th</sup>
of February 1997 her foster mother, Lois, had taken out two of her biological
daughters for the day. Later, Billie’s foster father, Sion, took out the
couples other two natural daughters, leaving Billie Jo home alone at <b>48 Lower
Park Road</b> where she planned to paint the patio doors in the garden. She would
earn extra pocket money for the task, and was happy that she was awarded the
job. <o:p></o:p></div>

Sadly, it wouldn’t
turn out to be the quiet day the teenager had anticipated, in fact, it would be

At the first trial in
1998 this forensic evidence was used to support the theory that Sion was
responsible for the murder of the 13 year old.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
He was found guilty at
Lewes Crown Court and slapped with a life sentence. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
After repeated claims
he won the right to a retrial in 2004. The mist of Billie Jo’s blood on his
clothing became the main focus of the trial. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i>How did it get
there? </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i>Did it actually indicate that Sion was the perpetrator?<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It was argued that the blood could have stained
his clothes a result of the wound to Billie Jo’s throat- the blood could have
possibly exited the puncture in her airway as she exhaled her final breaths-
after all, Sion did attempt to move her away from the patio. It was argued that
the victim would have had to be breathing extremely heavily at the time,
however Sion himself on the day of the murder claimed his foster daughter
didn’t seem to be breathing at all. <span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://aboutforensics.co.uk/billie-jo-jenkins/"><span lang="EN-US">Moreover, the clothes of the neighbor who
tended to the victim and the uniforms</span></a></span> worn by the paramedics did not display blood transfer similar to that
found on the clothes of Sion Jenkins. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The victim’s leggings, however, <span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.homepage-link.to/justice/judgements/jenkins/index.htm"><span lang="EN-US">did bear a very similar pattern of
fine mist</span></a></span>- and this
fine mist of blood was likely caused by her attacker bringing down the murder
weapon onto an already bloodied area.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
At retrial, another
forensic expect argued that the pattern of blood splatter (the uniform mist or
spray) could have indeed came from the victims airway as her father crouched
down to cradle her in his arms. He argued that if Sion was indeed the perpetrator
of the crime that his clothing would display blood splatter droplets of very
different size and shape. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The issue was, that it
was thought possible that the microscopic blood stain could have gotten onto
his jacket in both scenarios. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>The question was,</b> was it as a result of a
murder or the attempt of a father to save his daughters life? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Would a guilty man
be jailed or would an innocent
man be locked up for life?</div>

<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/billie-jos-carers-tell-of-prowler-threat-1163927.html">This article</a> has a quote from a friend of Sion's (Peter Gaimster) where he mentions that the night of the murder, Sion refused to wear his blue fleece, despite how cold it was outside. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Sion Jenkins was
released in 2006 when a jury couldn’t come to a mutual conclusion at retrial. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
As he walked free from the courthouse, two female relatives of the victim threw
their fists at him in anguish. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Two friends of Billie
Jo relayed stories of the girl turning up to school with various injuries,
such as scratches and a bloody lip, and attributing them to her father. Sion would later deny any accusation against him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Lois described him as
a liar with a bad temper, and revealed that at one point <span lang="EN-GB"><a href="https://www.thefreelibrary.com/He+wouldn%27t+stop+kissing+me+..+he+was+frenzied+and+out+of+control.-a060667418"><span lang="EN-US">he had even been involved with a

by the court.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This accusation did
pique my interest, though, and when looking for further information on this
accusation <a href="https://www.thefreelibrary.com/He+wouldn%27t+stop+kissing+me+..+he+was+frenzied+and+out+of+control.-a060667418">I
found a story on the free-library website</a> about the girl in question. Going
off the tags it seems to have originally have been published in the mirror on
the 6<sup>th</sup> of July 1998. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the article, a 19 year old girl given the alias "Rachel" to protect her identity, claims that Sion Jenkins found her home phone number in her brother's school file at the all boys school he worked at after meeting her at a friends house. The two developed a romantic relationship where they went on secret dates together where he encouraged the teenager to dress in revealing outfits. She goes on to say that she believed he was controlling and that she was shocked to discover that she looked exactly like his foster daughter, Billie Jo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eventually Rachel stopped seeing him as he began to give her the creeps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"He gave me the spooks". She said: "When I saw a picture of Billie-Jo on TV I couldn't believe it. She was my double. It could have been me. It's hard to believe I got so close to a murderer. "I was absolutely besotted with Sion, completely taken in by his charm and confidence. Now I just feel sick when I think about being with him. It seems like one horrible nightmare."</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Fear enveloped Lois Jenkins as
the reality that her husband could be responsible for the murder set in. Sion believes that police
came to her and the children to convince them of his guilt. Lois claimed that he
used corporal punishment towards his daughters, which Sion denied in a 2006 interview
with Trevor McDonald. Despite their original denial of their fathers punishment
techniques at the time of the murder, the Jenkins children provided the
“Tonight” network with a statement saying that Sion was lying and he had indeed
beaten them with sticks and slippers. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
At the time of the murder the children gave contradicting and
confused accounts of what happened that day in 1998, whether this is because
they simply could not remember the minor details of that day, or due to
pressure from the police or loyalty to their father is unknown. The girls were
so young at the time that the whole situation most likely confused them when
being questioned. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Although Sion Jenkins
started off as supply teacher in London, he eventually steered his career in
the direction of headmaster. He managed to get a job as deputy headmaster at a
local school, William Parker School in Hastings, and was eventually gunning for
the headmaster position. There was a slight issue with his ambition, however- <span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/nine-year-ordeal-ends-as-jury-acquits-sion-jenkins-6109532.html"><span lang="EN-US">his credentials were bogus</span></a></span>. He lied about the schools he had attended and
the grades he had achieved in order to get into his teaching position. Afraid
of being rumbled, he changed direction and decided he wanted to go into
politics. When later asked about his fabricated resume, he claimed that he lied
simply to provide a better quality of life for his family.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/billie-jo-in-an-extraordinary-attack-on-her-ex-husband-lois-jenkins-says-he-was-violent-and-a-liar-466364.html"><span lang="EN-US">This article</span></a></span> gives a bit more detail concerning the
whereabouts of the Jenkins family at the time that Billie Joe was murdered. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It states that Lois
was out shopping (here I found an account that they walking on the beach) with
daughters 9 year old Esther and 7 year old Maya. 10 year old Lottie (Charlotte) was at a
music class and 12 year old Annie was at home, as was Billie Joe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Annie was
inside the house cleaning a room and Billie Joe was outside painting the doors
in the back yard. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The court documents
from 2008 state that Annie heard her father talking to Billie-Joe before they
left the house. She did not hear Billie Joe verbally respond. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
At 3 in the afternoon,
Annie climbed into her father’s car and accompanied him in picking up her
younger sister, Lottie, from her clarinette class, leaving Billie Jo home
alone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Now apparently there
were a couple of minutes when the 3 returned where Sion Jenkins was <i>not</i>
in company of his daughters. This was thought to be the window of opportunity he
could have had in which to bludgeon Billie Joe to death with the metal tent spike.
(He would have had around 3-4 minutes to do so)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.homepage-link.to/justice/judgements/jenkins/index.htm"><span lang="EN-US">In the court documents</span></a></span> it is stated that Sion lied to both the 999
dispatcher and the officers on scene when stating that he had not been inside
the house during the time of the attack. He also stated that he had been gone
much longer than he actually was. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Lottie <i>did</i>
point out that her father acted strangely not soon after, claiming that he came
back outside and announced they had go to the store to pick up some turpentine
to clean up any paint Billie Jo had spilled / get supplies. Lottie said that
he neglected to bring any cash with him and drove twice around the park, going
past the house. This information is detailed <span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.homepage-link.to/justice/judgements/jenkins/R-V-Jenkins-2004.pdf"><span lang="EN-US">here</span></a></span>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
In the interview with
Trevor McDonald, Sion claims that Lottie was supposed to take over painting the
patio doors, so they went to collect the appropriate supplies. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.homepage-link.to/justice/judgements/jenkins/R-V-Jenkins-2004.pdf"><span lang="EN-US">This court document</span></a></span> states that there was already “white spirit”
turpentine in the home. Again, <span lang="EN-GB"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeU-8LHzRhA"><span lang="EN-US">in the 2006 interview with Trevor McDonald</span></a></span>, Sion Jenkins deflects this point by saying
there was indeed already a bottle of “white Spirit” at the home, however it was
several years old and so far back in a cupboard that he had forgotten of its
existence. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Interviewer Trevor McDonald then points out that police believed
Sion <i>knew</i> he had some / <i>deliberately neglected to check</i> so that
he would have an alibi- a very good point to consider indeed. Sion being seen
at the DIY store around the time of Billie-Joe’s murder might, in his mind, get
him off the hook. Then driving needlessly around the park with his roof down for no reason at all
so witnesses would be able to see him in his very memorable (in my opinion) MG could further help him convince authorities that he wasn’t home at
the time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Sion insists that if that was the case, he would have went
inside the store and spent a significant amount of time there, but didn’t.
Taking an aborted trip to the DIY shop does not make him guilty, but not
going in doesn’t make him innocent either. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Sion states that he
couldn’t make a 3-point turn on his street because he considered it dangerous
and so decided to drive around the park as an alternative and that’s why he
took such a long route. He claims he simply forgot the money. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
When they returned
home, Lottie discovered Billie Jo with a bloody face and head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A neighbor, Denise
Franklin, who was called over by Sion Jenkins, described seeing Billie Joe on her back with her head titled to the left. At this time Sion had
already dialed 999 and told the dispatcher that he had positioned the victim on
her side, when in fact he had not. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
She had been kneeling
on a rug that was wrapped with a plastic black bin liner for comfort while she
painted the doors. Part of the black plastic was stuffed up into the girls
nose, and when the neighbor pulled it out (<i>presumably to help the girl
breathe- although both adults at the scene claimed there was no sign of the
victim breathing when they found her</i>) blood poured from her nostril. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Despite
being in such close contact with Billie Joe, Franklin’s clothing did not show
the fine mist of blood that Sion’s did.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Another strange fact
in the case, is that when the emergency services and local police arrived, Sion
Jenkins sat in his car and put up the roof (which had been previously rolled
down on the drive to the DIY shop and around the park.) Charlotte (Lottie) was
supposed to clean the car for extra pocket money and was rushing excitedly to
do so before Billie Jo was discovered bludgeoned. Police theorize that he sat
in the car because he had bludgeoned his foster daughter and was worried that
there was blood in the car before he had a chance to clean it, so he deliberately
transferred some by himself by sitting in there after pretending
to discover the body. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
He put his actions down to being in shock when
questioned in court.<o:p></o:p></div>

something of a red heron, however there are some interesting details as to why
he was a suspect at the time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Mr.B is described as a
mentally ill male with a fetish for plastic bags. Although I haven’t seen it
officially confirmed, he was thought to have paranoid schizophrenia. He was
seen by multiple witnesses in the area on the afternoon of Billie Jo’s murder
who describe him as sitting on a bench opposite the murdered girl’s home
“sniffing” and “snorting” at a blue plastic carrier bag. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
At 3 in the afternoon a guesthouse owner
briefly conversed with Mr.B, he described the exchange as a confusing
conversation and stated that it was evident the individual was suffering from a
mental illness. The guesthouse owners business was on the same road as the
Jenkins residence and <span lang="EN-GB"><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/jun/15/ukcrime.laurasmith"><span lang="EN-US">he even pointed the man in the direction
of their home when suggesting he look for a place to stay in town.</span></a></span> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Part of a black
plastic bag was found forced deep in Billie Joe’s nostril cavity, a bizarre
detail in the case that made many people following the case uncomfortable when
reading of Mr.B’s presence in the area around the time of the murder.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The court ruled him
out as a suspect because they believed the only thing linking him to the crime
was his plastic bag Paraphilia and the coincidence that a piece of black plastic
bin liner was found in Billie Joe’s nasal cavity. Apparently he was also sitting
on a public bench opposite the Jenkins residence at the time of the crime. <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-376696/In-focus-Who-killed-Billie-Jo.html">This article mentions</a> that he liked to stuff pieces of plastic bags up his nose and into his mouth. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.justiceforsionjenkins.org.uk/mrb.html"><span lang="EN-US">This website</span></a></span>, which advocates for the innocence of Sion
Jenkins, explains that Mr.B had an obsessive idea revolving around "sealing up openings", although I'm not sure from where this information originates. The owner
of the website implies a link between the plastic bag found in the victims
nostril and Mr.B’s Paraphilia. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Is this attempt to
shift the blame from Sion Jenkins to Mr.B valid or reaching? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Mr.B / Mr.X was ruled out as a suspect <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-376696/In-focus-Who-killed-Billie-Jo.html">due to lack of forensic evidence on his clothes. He did not have an alibi</a>. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Imiela was given the nickname due to his crimes against women and children that took place in various cities along the M25 motorway. He was responsible for 9 rapes between 2000 - 2001 and 1 attempted rape of a child whom he beat and choked. His victims ranged between the ages of 10 - 52. He has thought to have been committing crimes since the late eighties. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<o:p>At the time he was dating his future wife, Christine Ashenden, who lived around 2 miles from the Jenkins home. Imiela had been courting her for a while and was a regular visitor in Hastings by '97. </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<o:p>He was known to stalk his victims and lie in wait for extended periods of time before committing his crimes. Could he have been waiting in the park behind Billie-Jo's home on the day of her murder? </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<o:p>Was he the prowler the family feared? </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<o:p>Perhaps he saw her walking her dog every night after school and began to follow her and learn her routine. </o:p></div>

<o:p>Imiela was said to own and often wear a leather jacket similar to the one Billie-Jo described <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/did-m25-rapist-kill-billie-jo-jenkins-801572">her unidentified stalker</a> as wearing. </o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Did Imiela wait for the Jenkins family to leave Billie-Jo alone and unsupervised before grabbing a makeshift weapon from the coal shed roof to bludgeon the 13 year old, but was disturbed when Sion and his daughters arrived home so quickly after leaving?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Autopsy revealed that the victim was not sexually assaulted in any way, which is the main part of Antoni Imiela's MO, but perhaps he did not get the chance. He did, however, beat any victims that resisted his attacks.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
He also used one of his victims cell phones to harass her mother with disgusting comments about what he had done.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A 26 year old victim also had a black plastic bag put over her head. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
He told another victim "13 is a lovely age".</div>

These days Sion is no
long married to Lois Jenkins, who packed up and relocated to the isolated
island of Tasmania, Australia with the couple’s four girls- Annie, Charlotte,
Esther and Maya. She remarried a martial arts trainer, gave birth to another
child and lives far from the horror of what happened in 1997- at least
physically. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The memory of the nightmare will be something that never leaves
her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Sion didn’t move quite the same distance and
currently resides in Bath, England, where he has also remarried. He married
woman named Christina Ferneyhough. She had been writing to him during his
incarceration and the pair tied the knot on his release. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
He is currently <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/sion-jenkins-to-study-law-522602">studying law</a> and has <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/sion-jenkins-a-father-betrayed-907223.html">written a book</a> where he discusses whom he believes to be the main suspect in the case- a tall man with dark hair who he claims was in his home on the day of the murder. He originally believed the unidentified man to be an officer in plain clothes, his neighbor at the time, Denise Lancaster, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/4rnkvb/a_father_accused_strange_clues_and_no_answers_who/">commented that she did not believe the man existed</a>. </div>

After a call for
information one man came forward as an eye witness. He claimed that he saw
Jacci climb into a vehicle around 4-5 in the evening at the Keele service
motorway station (<i>Three Mile Lane, Keele, Newcastle-Under-Lyme ST5 5HG, UK</i>). </div>

He
described her as being clad in a long navy coat and shiny maroon shoes. She was also
wearing a blonde wig and false lashes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
From what I can find
online, this could make sense. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
She left London around
2:30pm and was seen between 4 - 5pm in Keele, which is about a 3 hour drive
(169 miles) meaning the witness could have seen her around the time he claimed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
From there it would
only be an hours’ drive from the Keele service station to the site that Lamb’s
body was found. <o:p></o:p></div>

I’m not sure if she
was getting into the same car she’d hitchhiked in from London to Keele or if she
was getting into a second ride from Keele to Manchester and never made it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The only description
of the car at Keele is that it was a saloon. This information was found <span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.cc-publishing.co.uk/Archives/lamb.html"><span lang="EN-US">HERE</span></a></span><<<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to know more
about Jacci (Or Jackie as her name is often spelled in various reports) and
eventually found a book on the Yorkshire ripper containing some extra
information. <span lang="EN-GB"><a href="https://books.google.co.th/books?id=ppieCQAAQBAJ&pg=PT90&lpg=PT90&dq=Jackie+Ansell-Lamb&source=bl&ots=yEY5lE3BrR&sig=kZFb-jhmrGfiexlfiiuwYUZb_TU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjBv97CwZXYAhUJR48KHQhwAJs4ChDoAQhWMAg#v=onepage&q=Jackie%20Ansell-Lamb&f=false"><span lang="EN-US">HERE</span></a></span> <<<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Now According to this
book, Jacci was <b>found face down with a wound to the back of her skull</b>. The Navy
blue jacket the witness had described seeing is said to be purple, but exactly
the same style, which makes me think the eyewitness who saw Lamb at the Keele
station is believable. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The jacket had been
ripped from her body and was torn at the buttons indicating a struggle. Apparently the killer had
used the coat to hide her from view and her skirt was placed next to her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
In this book, the
ligature is thought to have been a length of knotted rope or some kind of wire,
as indicated by the bruising around her neck. Other articles do state it was
electrical wire. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Apparently her body
had been posed.<b> This is a detail I have not seen anywhere else</b>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>This book suggests
that Peter Sutcliff, also known as “the Yorkshire ripper”, could very well be
responsible for the murder of Lamb</b>. However surely they have his DNA and could
have matched it with the DNA from the girl’s body. I’m presuming there was some?

Now Mayo was a 24 year
old trainee teacher who was <b>hitchhiking from Hendon, at the start of the A1
going Northbound</b> to Catterick, North Yorkshire - <b>the same starting point as
Jacci Ansell Lamb. </b>It was also the same year- Monday the 12<sup>th</sup> of
October, 1970. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Apparently she set off
to Catterick with the intention of hitchhiking there to pick up her boyfriend’s
car at a garage they’d left it at, as it had broken down on a journey back from
County Durham the previous day. She was carrying a unique looking bag with her
which was decorated <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiElLTpn5jYAhWMK48KHWy6AJUQFgg7MAc&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.independent.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fm1-murder-case-may-be-solved-20-years-on-1240107.html&usg=AOvVaw1sFrZ5SimG17l7s-M8OYwB">with

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately she never
turned up to the garage and also failed to return home to shepherds bush,
London. She was quickly reported missing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Her body was found near
Hodmire lane, Glapwell, Aul Hucknall in Derbyshire, much in the same state as Jacci
Ansell Lamb’s. Most online articles simply state that she was raped and
strangled, but the book <i>“<a href="https://books.google.co.th/books?id=ppieCQAAQBAJ&pg=PT90&lpg=PT90&dq=Jackie+Ansell-Lamb&source=bl&ots=yEY5lE3BrR&sig=kZFb-jhmrGfiexlfiiuwYUZb_TU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjBv97CwZXYAhUJR48KHQhwAJs4ChDoAQhWMAg#v=onepage&q=Jackie%20Ansell-Lamb&f=false">Yorkshire

Although I’m aware of
Peter Sutcliffe, I’ve never looked into his crimes in depth, but<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3132629/Yorkshire-Ripper-butchered-35-women-one-MAN-according-gripping-new-book-police-covered-up.html"> this excerpt</a> from an article about Sutcliffe’s potentially much higher body count piqued my
interest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
“<i>His MO included prior
conversation with his victims, the use of hammer (usually with a round head or
‘ball-peen’) from behind, repeated stabbing after death with a knife or
screwdriver, partially stripping and moving his victim’s body and posing them
in a ‘staged’ crime scene. He sometimes used a knotted roped to strangle
victims, and semen was sometimes left at the scene.</i>”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Hitting the victim on
the back of the head, posing the bodies, rape, and strangulation with a
ligature? Sounds all too familiar as an MO. I think we’ll have to look into
this in more detail in a whole other post on Sutcliffe in the near future. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Numerous reports state
there was DNA found on both victims from the same man that linked both cases to

though this was a case of misreporting on the media’s part. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Apparently there was
never any confirmation about the DNA found on both bodies belonging to the same

to the local community, helping handicapped children and volunteering at a
youth charity for disadvantaged local kids. She was a warm hearted and charitable young woman, who wanted to

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Ann’s mother, Isobel,
was only 18 years old when she gave birth to Ann, but describes her first child
fondly, commenting on how happy the child was.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Ann was single and was
living independently in her own flat on Dalry road. She would visit the family
home on a weekly basis, usually with armfuls of laundry. She’d use the washing
facilities and sit down and chat with her family before leaving with food and
snacks to take back to her flat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Ann and her boyfriend,
a man named Joe Burden, had recently separated on amicable terms, and she had
no known enemies in the area. In fact, <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/354040/i-know-who-killed-my-ann-i-have-a-picture-of-him-lets-pray-cops-nail-him-after-25years/">Anne
was a popular young woman</a> who loved heavy metal and would watch bands at
the local venues and hang out with bikers around Edinburgh. She was very
sociable and was always meeting up with friends in the city. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
This is why, when she
failed to show up to a pre-planned get-together with a friend just a few days
after the 20 year old visited her parents’ home on the 18<sup>th</sup> of
November 1986, her parents were contacted. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The friend alerted
them and explained how Ann had failed to show up to the meeting they had
arranged, and expressed worry. Her parents called in at their daughter’s
apartment but she neglected to answer. They left a note and went home,
returning several times to check again and post notes and money through the
letter box, encouraging Ann to get in contact. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Ann never did contact
them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
When she neglected to
show up to the family home for the Christmas holidays as they had arranged they
reported her missing on the 26<sup>th</sup>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Ann’s friends were interviewed;
her flat was searched by police who determined there was no sign of a struggle.
There were <a href="https://www.pressreader.com/uk/scottish-daily-mail/20170128/282114931295159">various
items missing from the residence</a>, however, including a sleeveless black
leather jacket, a brass lighter with her initials engraved into it, her black
shoulder bag, a photo album, a camera and keys. To me these all seem like items
you’d take for a day out somewhere, but the photo album throws me off. I feel
as though a photo album is something you’d take to a meet up with a friend. I
mean it doesn’t say anywhere (as far as I can see) what the content of the
album was (for example was it childhood photographs, school pictures, pictures
from concerts, pictures of friends?) but maybe she was talking it to show
someone she hadn’t seen in a while (For example an old school friend maybe) and
wanted to take a stroll down memory lane with the aid of the photo album? <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Tragically, Ann
Ballantine’s bound and naked body was discovered wrapped in a carpet, floating in
the icy water of Union Canal on the 21<sup>st</sup> of January in 1987. Her hands
and feet were bound and she appeared to have been strangled by a ligature and
photographs were discovered splayed out nearby.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Due to the state of
decomposition, it was estimated that she had been dead for a few weeks and
probably kept somewhere else before being callously dumped into the canal. Her
body was so badly decayed that police advised the family not to view it. She
was finally identified by dental records and a scar. Family friends viewed the
body for confirmation to spare Ann’s parents of the pain. Although they were
not allowed to see their child one last time they were <a href="http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/mother-20-year-old-murdered-10729699">given
a lock of her hair</a>, a memento that they treasure till this day. (<a href="https://www.pressreader.com/uk/scottish-daily-mail/20170128/282114931295159">source</a>)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Her apartment was only
90 meters away from where her body was discovered. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Apparently <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/824304/Ann-Ballantine-murder-family-justice-Edinburgh">Ann
kept a diary</a>, which her parents read in search of clues. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
One entry read:<i>
“There’s somebody knocking at my door, I think I recognize the knock, I think
it could be XXX”</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.pressreader.com/uk/scottish-daily-mail/20170128/282114931295159">In
reports</a> her parents insist that they know who their daughter’s killer is,
and that they even have a photograph of the two together at a family event.
Apparently they aren’t allowed to expose the suspect due to insufficient
evidence, but they are adamant that they know who killed their first born.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/354040/i-know-who-killed-my-ann-i-have-a-picture-of-him-lets-pray-cops-nail-him-after-25years/">“He
looks pure evil</a>” Isobel commented.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Although advances in
DNA have contributed significantly to solving decades old cold cases, the state
of decay and the wet conditions Ballantine’s body was found in could render new
technologies irrelevant in this case. Investigators may have to turn to other
methods to find the killer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Ann Ballantine never
got the chance to marry and have her own children as she dreamed. She never got
to go to the Alice Cooper concert she had bought tickets for weeks in advance.
The case remains officially unsolved and her killer still walks the streets
freely. <o:p></o:p></div>
