    Soooo KFC and Taco Bell work under the same company. And my first job was actually at a Taco Bell. The managers and higher ups were VERY adamant about leaving the back door locked and not to be open passed sunset.. Learning about the murders made me realized why it was so important to leave the back door shut. Like DAMN.

      Oh my gosh that's so true, I worked at KFC and we always had to keep doors locked unless it was the dining area and when we were closing we had to lock the dining area doors while cleaning up. It was the same when I worked at sonic the backdoor had to stay shut but people working there now don't listen and leave it open, after watching this that's scary.

    This is a possible serial killer case I’m begging you to look into
    Julia Woodward was 21 and last seen at an airport terminal in San-Fran, heading to Reno Nevada for a job opportunity. Nearly two months after arriving in Reno Nevada, her remains her found in a rural location. Her cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head. She had her eyes taped shut with bandages, her legs had been tied together with zip ties, and she was gaged with what appeared to be her own clothes. Convicted murderer Charles Sullivan’s DNA was connected years later with Julia Woodward’s case, but that’s not the end of this story.
    Many news articles state, “It may be likely that the killer is linked with picking up hitchhiker females that are similar in appearance to the currently suspected victim. The killer of the following women targeted young women and female children, often who were hitchhikers or traveling somewhere. There are similarities in these murders, including blunt trauma as a cause of death, closeness in age, and being buried in a “shallow grave” in the desert.“
    Jeannine Smith 17, was last seen at the Circus Circus Hotel on October 28th. Remains Found earlier that year. She has similar blunt force trauma head wounds as a cause of death, and had been buried in a shallow grave. Just like Julia prior that year.
    Joanna Robinson 23, on September 21 1975, Her remains were found in a shallow grave, in a rural area, close to the other victims, especially close to Jeannine. Cause of death could not be determined based of circumstances but she was last seen in Oregon, the police are looking at it as an abduction homicide.
    Cindy Cook 16, January 25th, 1981, her remains were found near an intersection in cold springs. She was a short distance away from train tracks and was found in a pile of sagebrush. She was last seen hitchhiking close to the dumping ground of Julia, Jeannine, and Joanna a day before her body was found. Her purse and belongings were found a few miles away from her body, dumped.
    Gloria Crummett 16, her remains were found July 26th, 1971. Her body was found in similar condition, same cause of death and she was close in appearance and age with the other potential victims. She was reported missing on July 16th, 1971.
    Susan Rae Perron 14, who’s remains were found in the desert on April 16th 1973. Approximately 5 miles away from highway 95.
    Cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head. Just like the other victims. She was last seen walking to the park to go swimming.
    Jody Marie Miller 13, was last seen on June 21st, 1971. Her remains were found on November, 2nd 1971. In a shallow grave in the desert, very close to previous victims dump sites. Two possible Jane doe’s. Along with another possible hitchhiker victim.
    These women deserve justice and their story to be told. It’s all way too familiar to be coincidence. Please give this case the time of day and spread their stories. They deserve to be heard.

      Agreed I don't know if they were the main people of the crime, but they were defiantly involved. The DNA was found, and it's (from what I know) difficult to frame someone with blood. They cousins were involved in some way, and I'm pretty sure they know who assaulted Opie Huggins.

    I was pretty young when this happened, but I remember when it was solved. This also reminds me of the Brown's Chicken Massacre of the early 1990s, in Palatine, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago). It too took years to solve, though not as long. I believe it was about 10-12 years before that one was solved, due to advances in DNA forensics. The Brown's Chicken Massacre happened when I was a teen, and it was not far from where I grew up.

      My first job was at a clothing store in our local mall. I regularly got off work a half hour after the mall closed at night and had to walk out of the back door that let out behind the dumpsters in the parking lot, alone. I always had my keys between my knuckles and was super alert, but I was a seventeen year old girl in heels and a skirt, it would have been fairly easy for someone to overpower me. There was no lights by the dumpsters or back doors and it took at least a minute or more to get to my car. When I expressed concern to my supervisors and asked if we could at least all park in the same place and walk out together I got told to grow up and act like an adult and not be such a scaredy cat, essentially.

    As far as I know, you can't get charged for lying to police (maybe if they lean toward "obstructing" a case) and "perjury" is only when lying under oath in a court room. And to get a sentence like he did for perjury, something tells me there's a lot more going on there that they aren't releasing to the public. Of course, I could be wrong, but that whole part is hinky to me.

It lets us see all details and facts that come with the cases, and it lets us see all possible theories. I also appreciate that you do cases in the US and the UK. While I have heard of some of the ones in the US, you still have some that I haven't heard of, you still cover ones that I haven't both in countries.
