I think whoever was chasing him caught up to him and either killed him there and took his body elsewhere, or forced him elsewhere then killed him and disposed.

Only question is why. Maybe he accepted a ride from someone else and something went down.

Or..he came to a moment if realization, decided he hadnt had a life, got married out of highschool with the kids coming fast. Maybe he had been planning to just disappear for a while, and don't know how to come back.

But, most likely someone did something to him. Maybe even by accident, car may have hit him and the driver panicked? Maybe he called with a concussion? It's a strange story.

That article did say his brother thought he was hiding in the bushes because he had an outstanding warrant for drug charges. Maybe he was more heavily involved in the drug game than his family knew and got cross with the wrong people

Sounds like he had a drug problem, so most likely whatever happened is related to that

I remember this case. The husband ended up killing himself and the kids.


Yes he killed his two very young sons with a hatchet and then set the house on fire while he was still in it.

His father (that was obsessed and in love with Susan)was arrested and served time for child pornography and died of a heart attack.

It is crazy that the husband, who everyone has always suspected of killing Susan, was allowed to have his kids visit at his house. The social worker that was bringing the kids to see him for a supervised visit knocked on his door....he grabbed the kids and pushed her out and locked the door before killing the kids then himself.

None that bother or terrify me... several that interest me, though.

I would like to know what happened to the Zodiac and Phantom Killer. The specifics of how things played out with D.B. Cooper (only unsolved hijacking) and Frank Morris (Alcatraz escape) would be interesting to know too. I feel almost certain they both died, but it would be interesting to know the details.

Austin Yogurt Shop Murders

New evidence as of 2 years ago

Austin Yogurt shop murders, 4 girls killed, someone was convicted but later cleared, it was brutal

That could happen to anybody. Everybody either had or knows somebody who had one of those teen service sector jobs you'd work in the evenings.

Family friends bought the Levitz home and during remodeling they found dried blood under some steps. They reported it but nothing ever came from it. Everyone swears she's buried under the former Ryan's buffet.




The weirdest thing is whoever did it didn't take anything. Must have been an intruder who thought the house was empty and panicked when he was surprised by her.

BTK is another one that kind of fascinates me simply because Dennis Rader's last victim was in early 91 and he remained off the radar and stopped killing but started taunting the police again in 2004, a full 13 years after his last victim.

In doing so, he admitted to other killings the police didn't attribute to him and slipped up by sending a floppy disc to the detective in charge of the task force hunting for him. It was then that forensic experts in computers discovered where the disc was originated and the name of the user who made it. That led to his arrest and eventual conviction.

One theory is that one of their husbands hired a hitman and the hitman killed the wrong Mary Morris the first time. (Oops).


Or maybe the 1st victim was the intended target and the 2nd victim was killed to throw them off.

eta: I watched the episode so I changed my theory.
