This Unidentified Victim Was Found In Volusia County, Florida In 1989, Do You Know Who He Is?

Volusia John Doe 1986

On the afternoon of Jan. 18, 1986 in dense woods, often used as a biker campsite, off Jones Island Road in Bulow Creek State Park, about four miles north of the park's entrance, a man cutting palmettos found the skeletal remains. An examination revealed he was the victim of a homicide, but some of his bones were scattered by animals or damaged. From what investigators could gather from the man's severely rotted clothing, the man might have been a biker. The items included a long-sleeved baseball T-shirt (white with black sleeves), a leather cap with a pin with the initials "FTW," some rings, a Harley-Davidson belt buckle, and a keychain with the words "KKK MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING." 

The victim is believed to be a white male, approximately 20 to 35 years old and about 5 feet, 9 inches tall. It's believed he had a facial deformity which caused his jaw to appear lopsided and gave him an exaggerated, noticeable overbite.

Anyone who believes they might have information on the identity of the victim or the homicide itself is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at 386-254-1537.

The Cold Case Squad Is Investigating The Disappearances of Debra Spickler, Janice Pockett, and Lisa White.

Debra Lee Spickler

She was born January 22, 1955.

On July 24th, 1968 Debra went missing in Mystic Connecticut. At the time she went missing, she was staying in Vernon with relatives. She was last seen walking in the direction of Henry Park swimming pool. It was reported that the whole family was headed to the pool that day. Debra was last seen a white sleeveless shirt, green polka-dot shorts and white sneakers.

At the time of her disappearance Debra was 5'5" tall and weighed 125 pounds.

Janice Kathryn Pockett

She was born on October 15th, 1965. Janice was last seen leaving her family's home on Anthony Road in Tolland, Connecticut on July 26, 1973. She was a take-charge kind of girl.

7 year old Janice planned to ride her metallic green Murray bicycle, which had a bell and a banana seat and go down the street and pick up a dead butterfly that she had left under a rock on an earlier family walk. Janice never went out by herself, but her mom allowed her to go because the rock where Janice had stored the butterfly was practically visible from her family home when standing in the middle of the road. Janice was carrying an envelope to put the butterfly in.

A woman drove by Janice's propped up bicycle and slowed down, concerned that a child might pop into the road. There was no Janice to be seen. About a minute and a half later, a man drove by traveling in the opposite direction, and saw the bike on its side.

The bike was one of the only traces of Janice that police found. The envelope and the butterfly was never found.

Her case remains unsolved.

At the time of her disappearance Janice was 4'0", 65 pounds with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing navy blue shorts with an imprinted American flag and star design, a blue and white-striped pullover shirt, white socks and blue sneakers. Janice has a gap between her front teeth.

Lisa Joy White

She was born on February 2nd, 1961. Lisa loved acrobatic dancing and cheerleading.

13 year old Lisa was last seen in Vernon, Connecticut on November 1st, 1974. The night before her disappearance, she'd been arrested for underage drinking and her parents grounded her. After her mother went to work at 4:30 p.m., she sneaked out to visit a friend on Prospect Street in Rockville, two miles away. Following her visit, at 7:30 p.m., Lisa began walking home. She never arrived and has never been heard from again.

Lisa left a note for her mother saying she was in love with an older boy and "you think I'm a little girl, but I'm not." According to her sister, she associated with older boys and some men. The police initially believed she'd run away from home, but foul play is now suspected in her case.

Lisa's disappearance was one of five in a ten-year period in the Vernon area. Two of them were found deceased years after their disappearances but the other three, including Lisa, remain missing. It is not clear whether the cases are related. Lisa's disappearance remains unsolved. Her mother died in July 2012.

At the time of her disappearance Lisa was 5'0" tall, 110 pounds with blonde hair, blue eyes. She was last wearing green pants, a blue denim jacket and work boots. Lisa has a small pockmark on her forehead above her right eye. She was in very good physical condition at the time of her disappearance. Her teeth are perfectly aligned due to the previous use of orthodontic braces.

In October 2014, the Tolland County Cold Case Squad was formed to investigate these three cases. After investigating each case as a stand-alone the authorities now look at all three cases as connected.

Governor Dannel P. Malloy has authorized rewards in each case making the grand total $150,000 for information about Debbie Spickler, Janice Pockett, and Lisa White that will lead to an arrest and conviction of those responsible for these three crimes.

If you have information in any of these three cases please call the cold case squad tip line at 860-870-3228 or use email DCJ.TollandCounty.ColdCase@ct.gov. Vernon police can be reached at 860-872-9126 and Connecticut State Police at 860-896-3230.

What Happened To Colorado Paramedic Eric Pracht? UPDATED 04/24/2020

UPDATE: This statement was released from Eric's family  today.  "From our family, we would like to thank all of you for following Eric's page over the last few years. It is with a very sad heart that we tell you, that the remains found on Green Mountain on Thursday, were most likely those of Eric. We have not received final confirmation from the coroner yet, but all evidence supports the likelihood that it is Eric. Our family would like to thank everyone that has supported us through the years. The love and support has been incredible. We apologize for the delay in getting this posted, however we needed the time to take care of each other. Thank you for your understanding and love through the years."

🚒Eric Randolph Pracht🚒

🚒His parents are Randy and Denice Parcht. Eric loved to help people. Since the age of 12, Eric and his dad would go Kayaking together. Eric was a paramedic.

🚒On July 22nd, 2016, Eric was 25 years old and having a party in his condo in Lakewood, Colorado. After awhile the party dwindled down to Eric's fiance and three friends. That night, the group began discussing some recent police shootings and Eric became upset.

🚒According to his fiance, sometime after midnight on the 23rd, Eric and his fiancee take out the trash out. While doing so, Eric told her that he needed to go for a short walk to get some air. She went back inside and he left for his walk. He was carrying his keys, wallet and cellular phone. 

🚒Around 1 a.m., Eric's fiance and a couple of friends went and looked for him to no avail.

🚒At 1:30 a.m., one of Eric's neighbors said they think they heard a gun shot.

🚒Sometime after 9 a.m., Eric's fiance called the police.

🚒At 2:30 p.m., Eric's parents are contacted about his disappearance.

🚒At 4:30 p.m., the Pracht family arrive at condo to search for Eric around the condo and surrounding area and find nothing as well.

🚒At 5:00 p.m. Eric's cellular phone made a call. The phone pinged off a tower at the base of Green Mountain, but.. the special area that Eric's home was in possible that Eric's phone never left the condo.

🚒Eric has never been heard from again, and since then there hasn't been any activity on his phone, credit or debit cards, or social media pages.

🚒It's extremely uncharacteristic of Eric to leave without warning. His family stated he loved being a paramedic, was looking forward to his upcoming vacation in Mexico and his pending marriage. Eric was never known to have expressed suicidal thoughts. He left his car, clothing and cash behind.

🚒During the investigation, police failed to check a gas station, that was just a half a block away from Eric's condo, until after seven days. By the time the surveillance video was checked, it had been erased. 

🚒The police never did a through search of Eric's condo.

🚒In Eric's condo there was a gun safe. Eric's fiance told investigators that she couldn't open the gun safe because she didn't know the combination and wasn't able to find the key. Eric's parents had bought him that safe and contacted the manufacturer and they were able to send the parents a copy of the key. By the time Eric's parents got the key and went over to Eric's condo, his fiance said that she had found the key above the gun safe.

🚒One of his guns has also been missing as long as he has, but the police have dismissed it as they believe there is no evidence a crime has happened.

🚒Eric's fiance and his two friends, who had looked for him after he went missing, refused to take a lie detector test.

🚒On October 6th, 2016, the FBI went to Eric's condo and got his Google login from his fiance in order to try to pin his location. The detectives and his fiance couldn't pin his location. The next year in January, the detectives had given Eric's parents his Google info. When Eric's parents logged on to his email to see if they could find clues to where Eric was, there was a notification saying that someone had been trying to disable the location feature of his account on October 7th, 2016. Eric's parents went to detectives and they pinged the computer that was trying to turn off the location of Eric's cell as coming from the library. However, the library wasn't open at the time, but the liquor store that his fiance worked at and her parents owned was.

🚒The police never talked to Eric's co-workers, but the parents did. They said that Eric seemed to be dealing with things ok and that he was in a pretty good state of mind before he disappeared.

🚒In November of 2016, there was the Green Mountain Fire that burn the areas that Eric's family had been searching. In fact, the day that the fire happened there was a search scheduled for the area where the fire started before it happened. Only Eric's parents, fiance and the dog team knew when and where that search was going to happen. Supposedly, the cause of the fire was arson by a homeless man.

🚒In July of 2017, an ex-boyfriend of Eric's fiance contacted the parents. He stated that his relationship with her was volatile and that she was nuts and he thought that the fiance killed Eric. He had text messages to prove this. Eric's parents asked the ex-boyfriend if he'd talk to the police and he agreed. The ex-boyfriend later decided not to go to police, he said that he was scared to death of the fiance's family and that they had the Lakewood police in their back pockets.

🚒Allegedly, Eric's fiance took down all the fliers that were put up around his condo and there has never been a flier put up at her family's liquor store where she works.

🚒His case remains unsolved.

🚒At the time of his disappearance, Eric was 5'10" - 6'0" tall, 170 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes. He had a goatee at the time of his disappearance, but he sometimes had a beard. Eric was wearing a blue t-shirt with video game characters on the front, khaki cargo shorts, black ankle socks, a dark green cloth belt with metal rings, and allegedly no shoes. He would often get a rash around his navel from his belt buckle. Eric had the following tattoos: a star of life with the words "SERVING SINCE 2010" on the right side of his chest, the video game character Sub-Zero in blue ink on his calf, an ambulance on his abdomen, the Star Wars character Boba Fett on his left forearm, a Green Bay Packers helmet on his right calf, a crown across the top of his back, an angel on one shoulder, a demon on the other shoulder, the character Michael Myers from the movie "Halloween" on the left side of his chest, the character Jason Voorhees from the movie "Friday the 13th" below the Michael Myers tattoo, his last name "PRACHT" going down one arm, a dragon from the video game Skyrim on his right forearm, and the name "Denver" on his left forearm.

🚒If you have any information on Eric's disappearance, no matter how small, please contact Lakewood Police Department at 303-987-711.

🚒There is a $12,000 reward in place for the person that can directly lead to Eric or provide his location.

🚒To Eric's friends and family, believe Eric will be found, i just hope it's sooner than later. If Eric did meet with foul play, i hope whomever was involved will have a conscious and come forward. If something happened to Eric by his own hand, i hope we clues are revealed to help him be found. Eric seemed like a really great guy.

Who Really Murdered Stephanie Crowe?

👼Stephanie Ann Crowe👼

👼She was born on April 12th, 1985 in San Diego County, California to Cheryl and Steve Crowe. Stephanie was a happy girl involved with her church. She volunteered at the Escondido Library's youth program and she was liked by everyone. No matter where she went, she made friends and was always on the go.

👼On was January 20th, 1998, 12 year old Stephanie knocked on her parent's bedroom door and told them goodnight and that she loved them. That was the last time they would hear Stephanie's voice.

👼The next morning, Stephanie's grandmother went down the hallway to see why Stephanie wasn't up yet. Stephanie's bedroom was open slightly and after the grandmother pushed the door the rest of the way open, she saw a heart dropping sight. Stephanie's lifeless body was lying on the floor. The grandmother screamed and yelled that Stephanie was lying on the floor covered in mud. When Steve picked up Stephanie's head, he noticed that it wasn't mud at all, in fact it was blood that she was covered in. Stephanie had been stabbed 9 times.

👼Steve made an emotional call to 9-1-1.

9-1-1: 9-1-1
Steve: My daughter...
9-1-1: What's the problem?
Steve: She's laying on the floor. She's not breathing!

9-1-1: How old is she?

Steve: What? She's 12. There is blood all over the place. Please. Oh my god. Help her.

👼There was no sign of forced entry. Stephanie's window was found unlocked, but there was a screen in place that didn't seem to be disturbed. Cheryl and Steve's sliding glass door in their bedroom was also unlocked. No knives were found at the scene that seemed consistent with the murder weapon, no bloody clothing or fingerprints were found. The family was questioned, their clothing was confiscated, and their bodies were examined for injuries. 

👼The parents were then put up in a motel and the two surviving children were taken to the county's shelter, and were not allowed to see their parents for two days. Unbeknownst to their parents police interviewed both children. Michael, Stephanie's 14-year-old brother, became the police's main suspect for the murder.

👼Police theorized that Stephanie's murder was committed by a family member,. As the rest of Stephanie's family grieved her death, Michael seemed distant and preoccupied.  His room was also directly across the hall from Stephanie's. Michael claimed that he got up around 4:30 a.m., because he had a headache, and ventured to the kitchen to get a Tylenol and a glass of water before heading back to his room. He said he saw nothing. Allegedly, this is what made the police suspicious of him. Police interrogated Michael multiple times without his parents' knowledge and without an attorney present. During the interrogations, police falsely informed him that they had found physical evidence implicating him, that he had failed an examination with a so-called "truth verification" device, and that his parents were convinced he had done it. After being interrogated for 6 hours, Michael confessed to killing Stephanie. However, he gave no details and said that he couldn't remember doing it. During the interview, which was video taped by police, Michael can be heard saying things to the effect of, "I'm only saying this because it's what you want to hear." He was arrested and charged with murdering his sister.

👼Police also questioned two of Michael's 15-year-old friends, Joshua Treadway and Aaron Houser. Houser had a collection of knives. One of the knives in the collection was reported missing by Houser's parents. The knife turned up at Treadway's house. Treadway said he had taken it from Houser. Police took Treadway to police headquarters and questioned him for 12 hours. The policed told him that they believed his knife was the murder weapon. Two weeks later, they questioned him for 10 hours. During which Treadway gave a detailed confession to participating in the murder with the other two boys. Treadway was then arrested.

👼Aaron Houser was then arrested and questioned. He denied any involvement, but he did present a "hypothetical" account of how the crime might have happened, under prompting by police interrogators. All three boys subsequently recanted their statements claiming coercion. The majority of Michael Crowe's confession was later ruled as coerced by a judge because investigators implied to Michael that they would talk to the district attorney and recommend leniency. Treadway actually confessed twice. The court ruled that the two confessions were redundant and ordered that the first be suppressed. The second Treadway confession remains admissible. Houser's statements to police were suppressed because police did not sufficiently advise him of his Miranda rights.

👼The police had also interviewed Richard Raymond Tuite. He was a 28-year-old transient who had been seen in the Crowe's neighborhood on the night of the murder, knocking on doors and looking in windows, searching for a girl named Tracey. The neighbors said he seemed disoriented. This caused several neighbors to call police reporting a suspicious person. 

👼Tracey turned out to be real and Tuite's ex-girlfriend. When Tracey was younger, she resembled Stephanie. Tuite had a lengthy criminal record, habitually wandered the streets of Escondido, and had been diagnosed as schizophrenic. Tracey said that he was always paranoid and thought that people were following him.

👼Police questioned Tuite, confiscated his clothing, and noticed scrapes on his body and a cut on his hand. However, they considered him incapable of murder and they had already focused on Michael Crowe as their prime suspect.

👼Stephanie's family, on the other hand, suspected Tuite from the beginning. After Stephanie's funeral, her family went back to her grave to make sure everything was done right.  Tuite was a few blocks away walking towards the cemetery. This creeped them out and made Tuite seem even more suspicious to them.

👼Michael and his friends were charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder. A judge ruled that they should be tried as adults. As they were awaiting trial, the three boys were incarcerated. However, as Treadway's trial was about to begin in January 1999, DNA testing found three drops of Stephanie's blood on a shirt belonging to Tuite, so the charges against the boys were dismissed.

👼When questioned again, Tuite admitted to being in the Crowe house, but denied killing Stephanie.

👼In 2001 the District Attorney and San Diego County Sheriff's Department asked that the case be taken over by the California Department of Justice.

👼In May 2002 the Attorney General charged Tuite with murdering Stephanie.

👼The trial began in February 2004. At lunch time, Tuite freed himself from his handcuff's and escaped. He boarded a bus, but was caught hours later. At trial, Tuite's defense team argued that the boys had killed Stephanie, and that Stephanie's blood was found on Tuite's clothes as a result of contamination caused by careless police work. 

👼On May 26, 2004, the jury acquitted Tuite of murder but convicted him of the lesser included offense of voluntary manslaughter. Tuite was sentenced to thirteen years in prison. With four more years added onto the sentence due to his flight attempt.

👼The families of all three boys sued the cities of Escondido and Oceanside. The Crowes reached a settlement of $7.25 million in 2011. 

👼In 2012, Superior Court Judge Kenneth So made the ruling that Michael Crowe, Treadway and Houser were factually innocent of the charges, permanently dismissing the criminal case against them.

👼On September 8, 2011, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit voted 2-1 to overturn Tuite's manslaughter conviction, ruling the trial was unfair because the trial judge limited cross-examination of a prosecution witness. He was granted a retrial.

👼Tuite's retrial began on October 24th, 2013. In closing arguments, his attorney told jurors that Tuite  wouldn't have been able to find Stephanie's bedroom in the dark home. He also said Stephanie must have been held down under a comforter to keep her quiet, while someone else stabbed her.  The prosecutor said during her closing argument that Tuite was in the area of the Crowe home the night Stephanie was killed. He was knocking on doors and looking for a woman named Tracy, at whom he was angry because she had turned him away a couple of years earlier.  She also said that Stephanie's blood was found on two shirts that he was wearing.

👼On December 5th, 2013, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The jurors were concerned that the victim's blood might have got onto his shirts through contamination.

Here is documentary about Stephanie's murder.

Will there every be justice for Stephanie?

Who do you think killed her and why?

Personally, i'm confused about it all..

I very much doubt that Stephanie's blood on Tuite's clothes was that of contamination by the police, but it is a possibility. I think he could have been confused and thought that Stephanie was his ex-girlfriend. Tuite also did confess to being in the Crowe's house and he was seen in the neighborhood that night. If he was so delusional, how did he not leave any evidence at the seen? How did he keep Stephanie quiet while killing her? It almost seemed like at least a two person job and that the scene might have been cleaned up a bit.

RIP Stephanie

i hope whomever did this to do never finds a second of peace and it torment them the rest of their life.

Are The Unsolved Murders of Amanda Tusing And Dana Stidham Connected To The Attempted Murder of Annette Rapalee?

👰Amanda Renee “Mandy” Tusing👰

👰She was born on December 6th, 1979 to Susan and Ed Tusing. Nicknamed "Sprout", she graduated from Gosnell High School, and was engaged to Matthew Ervin. 

👰On June 14th, 2000, it was raining hard when twenty-year-old Amanda Tusing left Matt's house in Jonesboro, Arkansas at around 11:30 p.m. She was going back to her parents house in Dell, Arkansas, but tragically never made it. At 1:30 the next morning, Matt called Amanda's mother and asked if she was home. When Susan went to check, Amanda's bed was empty. Ed left immediately after the phone call, heading west on Highway 18 towards Jonesboro. Matt left Jonesboro traveling towards Dell to see if they could find her broke down on the side of the road or whatever.

👰Matt found Amanda's car shortly before 2:30 a.m. Matt showed Amanda's father where the car was, and the first thing they did was try to see if the car was out of gas, if it would run. They couldn't find anything wrong with the car. Mandy's cell phone was still in the car in the passenger seat. Amanda's keys were also still in the ignition. The battery was dead and Amanda was nowhere to be found. There was a coke can in the cup holder in the car. When Amanda had left Matt's house, she did not have a soda with her, so it is theorized that she picked it up at a gas station on her way home. Some think that it might be the killer's soda instead.

Matt and Ed left to report her abandoned car on Arkansas Highway 18, five miles east of St. Frances Bridge.

👰Three days later, investigators learned Amanda's body had been found in a rain swollen ditch, approximately 14 miles west of where her car was discovered. There was no sign of sexual assault or trauma. Although police believe she was suffocated and thrown in the ditch, the medical examiner could not confirm that. He did determine that she did not have water in her lungs, suggesting that she was dead before she entered the water.

👰During in the investigation, partial prints were found, but they were not identifiable. In finding those and finding the hairs and some more things in the vehicle, authorities don't think whoever did this was ever in that car. It wasn't wiped clean.
👰Matt was interviewed three separate times after Amanda was found. Matt passed the polygraph test each time.

👰Detectives believe the killer was someone unknown to Amanda. They believe that a man impersonating a police officer pulled her over, lured her into his car and drove near the Big Bay Ditch, where he murdered her. They believe this man could be a serial killer who has done this before.

👰The Tusing family still lives in Dell. Susan and Ed said no matter how much time goes by, they still pray justice will be served.

👰"I think Mandy would have wanted us to go on and live life. I told my boys that we would go on, that whoever killed her was not going to destroy our family. He would not have the satisfaction of taking down all of us," said Susan. "I just refuse to let whoever did it destroy my family."
👰If you know anything about this crime that could help police track the killer, you're urged to call the Craighead County Sheriff's Office at 870-933-4551.

👰Amanda's case is still unsolved.

There is a previously unsolved case that might be related to Amanda's.

🎓Dana Lanell Stidham🎓

🎓She was born on March 8th, 1971 in Gravette, Benton County, Arkansas to Lawrence and Georgia Stidham. She was a life long resident of Hiwasse and an academic leader who graduated from Gravette High School, Arkansas class of 1989. 

🎓Dana was 18 and had been employed by the former Phillips Grocery Store, now Harp's Grocery Store in Bella Vista, Arkansas. On July 25, 1989, Dana left to run an errand at a nearby grocery store in Bella Vista, and she never returned home.

🎓At around 9:30 AM the next morning, Dana's brother, Larry, called the Bella Vista Police sub-station to report that his sister hadn't come home. He sensed something was wrong. Early that morning her car, a gray Dodge Omni, was found in the Northbound lane on Highway 71 N. The rear tire was low, the keys were still in the ignition, but there was no sign of Dana. The lone piece of the investigative timeline was a receipt found in her car that was time stamped 3:17 p.m.

🎓On September 17, 1989, a squirrel hunter found Dana's remains of a young women buried in a shallow grave, scraped out of a dry creek bed. The location was in a wooded section of the County, that only a few people would know. The Arkansas State Medical Examiner's Office in Little Rock, Arkansas said Dana died after being stabbed in the neck and the manner of death was Homicide. However, the cause of death could not be determined. The body was badly decomposed and efforts were made to determine if she had been sexually assaulted. Her clothes were found strewn nearby. Dana's purse was found in nearby in the area of Chaucer and Hanover Roads in Bella Vista. Personal items, including her check book, driver's license and other items were found a few miles North of where her car was found along Highway 71 N.
🎓Her gravestone marker was stolen in December 1989 by Diana's former classmate and boyfriend, Michael Earl McMillan. He was convicted of the offense and paid a fine. McMillan claimed that he stole the marker so he'd have something to remember her by.
🎓In 2013, there was a possible break in the case. 62 year old Orville Mitchell Goodwin of Pineville was sentenced to 12 years in prison with an additional 10 years suspended. He was arrested on July 16, 2013, in the shooting case of Annette Rapalee. 

🎓Goodwin was identified as an acquaintance to the Annette. Annette’s husband died in 2012, and Goodwin had been spending time with her since.
🎓Police said Goodwin drove Annette near the Bella Vista creek bed, shot her in the face and left her. Annette then crawled several hundred yards west from where she was shot, eventually coming to rest where she was later found by horseback riders the next day. One of the men saw Annette covered in blood and on her hands and knees. He tried to help her and called police. Annette was taken to a Springfield, Mo., hospital where she was treated for her injuries.
🎓One week later, authorities executed a search warrant at the home of Goodwin. Blood  was discovered on Goodwin and inside his vehicle during the search. They also found a weapon.
🎓The DNA and blood samples were sent to crime labs in both Missouri and Arkansas for investigation, after which, it was determined the blood in Goodwin’s truck was consistent with Annette’s DNA.
🎓Annette was initially hesitant to cooperate with investigators after being hospitalized. She told police that her neighbors could be responsible for the shooting.

🎓Authorities are examining evidence that might tied Goodwin to Dana's murder.

🎓There is a $20,000 Reward offered in Dana's case largely from family, friends, businesses and concerned donors. Tips and leads are needed to solve this case. Please contact:

Did Justin Run Away? Or Was He Murdered By His Friends In A Forest?

Justin Lee Richardson

He was born on June 6th, 1988. Following his parents divorce, Justin lived with his father in Tusayan. His father would let him come and go as he please. Justin had tried to run away a few times, but it didn't work. He was described as a popular teen with many friends. 

On June 29th, 2001 13 year old Justin and three friends, who were all between the ages of 18 and 21, had gone into to an area a few miles south of Grand Canyon National Park and five miles west of Moqui Lodge (which has since been torn down). Authorities believe he had been partying and was under the influence of drugs, possibly methamphetamine.

Justin and his three friends got separated, and two of them got lost. Justin and another friend went to Tusayan, Arizona and asked another friend to help look for the missing pair. In the meantime, the two missing ones were located by Grand Canyon Railway employees south of Tusayan, Arizona, but Justin didn't know this.

Justin and another of his friends returned to the Kaibab National Forest, at a spot five miles from Tusayan and fifteen miles from where their friends had been found some time earlier. His companion went to sleep at 9:00 a.m. When he woke up at 5:00 p.m., Justin was gone. His companion  was able to make his way to a dirt road, where he hitched a ride back to Tusayan. He never reported Justin missing.

Justin has never been heard from again. His father didn't report him missing on July 1st. An extensive search of the area turned up no sign of him.

Justin had been to the area four times before he disappeared, and was very familiar with it. Authorities aren't sure whether he did in fact lose track of his surroundings. It's possible that Justin was picked up hitchhiking by a passing motorist and he may have tried to go to Chicago, Illinois to see his girlfriend.

Investigators believe foul play is possible in Justin's case and could have been killed in the forest shortly after his disappearance. 

Investigators believe he'd been abusing drugs and alcohol for about a year prior to going missing. 

After interviewing the men with Justin the day he disappeared, authorities at the time ruled out foul play, although they continue to keep track of persons of interest in the case more than 15 years later. One of the men is deceased, although that incident doesn’t appear to be related to Justin’s case.

In 2014, Justin’s case was turned over to the cold case unit, which uncovered evidence that he did in fact return to Moqui Lodge after he was last seen, although they declined to say what the evidence was.

Justin's case remains unsolved.
At the time of his disappearance Justin was 4'10" tall, 100 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. His hair was shaved on the sides and long on top. He was wearing a red Chicago Bulls basketball jersey and denim shorts.

Justin would be 29 years old.

The CCSO cold case unit believes some unidentified person in the area may have important information. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the CCSO cold case division at (928) 774-4523

Were Acie And Carolyn Murdered By A Serial Killer Or Someone Close To Them?

💵Acie and Carolyn Worthy💵

💵Acie was 68 years old and a World War II veteran who served as head of the Bessemer VFW post and was known as a charitable man who often carried large sums of cash.
💵Carolyn was 55 years old and the director of the Lakeview Baptist Church choir in Alabama. She wore jewelry worth $50,000 at times and owned three expensive fur coats. Carolyn had a spirited personality, he said, and was the coordinator of many family functions. She had a son from a previous marriage named Billy Jack Logan. 

💵The couple was building a home in the Million Dollar Lakes area of Lake View, where they planned to spend the rest of their lives. 

💵In May 1988, Carolyn was returning from a Wednesday night church service when a masked man armed with a gun confronted her. She also had a handgun, and after a brief standoff, she escaped and filed an attempted robbery report with the Sheriff’s Office.

💵Later that same month, two girls riding a motorcycle in the area of the Worthy home saw a man watching the house. He was wearing camouflage and holding a scope. He left the area when he saw the girls and they called police.

💵Then in June 1989, an arson fire damaged the Worthy's home that was under construction. No arrests were ever made in that case. 

💵On October 19th, 1989, Acie and Carolyn drove their matching white Lincoln Town Cars from the Sunday night service at Lakeview Baptist to the house they were renting on Alabama Highway 216.  At 12:43 a.m that night, volunteer firefighters made their way to that very same house. When they arrived, the house was completely engulfed in flames and almost completely destroyed. When the fire was extinguished, the bodies of Acie and Carolyn were found inside, fully-clothed. X-rays showed that they had both been shot multiple times. Even though there was not much evidence left behind, investigators were able to piece together what they thought might have happened.

💵Investigators believed Carolyn and Acie were shot outside and then dragged inside the house. Since not much was taken, they don’t believe the killers were primarily after money or high-dollar items. A criminal profiler suggested that it  could be a serial-type murderer who enjoys the kill. It is also believed that couple's deaths were planned at least a year before.

💵The investigators for Carolyn and Acie's case were contacted by Florida investigators working cases in Graceville informing them that they had a local case that they thought might be related. 

💵Nine months before Acie's and Carolyn's murder, 72 year old Robert and  70 year old Kathryn McRae were shot execution-style in a similar home-invasion robbery. Two ski masks were found at their home in northwest Florida, suggesting that at least two people were responsible. A reward of more than $200,000 is still available for information leading to an arrest. 

💵When comparing the two cases, evidence linked both cases together.

💵“I feel like someone may still come forward,” said Billy Jack Logan. “ Whoever knows who did this can remain anonymous. We just want to know who did it so we can have some closure.”
💵Logan was a police officer and later a Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office deputy who spent his last years before retirement helping family members of crime victims. It was a good way to end his career, he said, because he understood what many of them were experiencing.
💵Anyone with information can contact Baker at 205-752-0616 or Tuscaloosa County CrimeStoppers at 205-752-STOP (7867).

Is Nancy's 40 Year Old Murder About To Be Solved?

🚲Nancy Lynn Radbil🚲

🚲She was born on October 5th, 1960 in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin to David and Helene Radbil. 

🚲On July 6th, 1979, Nancy was 18 years old when she disappeared. She had went bike riding along a bike path(now named Oak Leaf Trail) of Menomonee River Parkway just off of Hwy 100 and silver drive. She was last seen sitting in the grass along side the path sitting by her blue bike and talking to a man who was standing next to a small red Honda motorcycle. 

🚲In the days that followed, an extensive search left authorities, friends, and family searching for any trace of the soon-to-be college sophomore. Someone from that search party discovered a sewer cap that wasn’t quite right and when they started looking into the sewer, they saw the clothing and shoes Nancy was last seen wearing. 

They soon discovered bike not long after. Then, Nancy's body was found by her brother, in the wooded area next to where she was last seen. She was naked with her throat slit. 

🚲A sketch was released of a possible suspect, and authorities combed through records to try and locate an owner of the red Honda motorcycle.

🚲Swabs were taken from Nancy's body, some of which hadn't been sent to the crime lab until recently. Technology started to catch up in 1999 and DNA testing has became more commonplace. A DNA sample was located that foreign to her and a new search began. Police began working backwards, gathering DNA from any of the previous suspects to see if it came up as a match. Forty years later, no one has matched the DNA found on Nancy’s body.

🚲Helen is heartbroken over her daughter’s death, is grateful for anyone who is looking into the case, and her “greatest fear has always been that it would be forgotten.”

I Promise, Nancy Will Not Be Forgotten!
🚲Anyone who knows something about Nancy’s case are asked to reach out.
