This is definitely a contender. How could an entire town let that witch hunt happen?


This is the era of when people blamed heavy metal for murders. The police really screwed up the investigation and had to stick it on someone.

I know there was no evidence to convict them, but what evidence exonerated them?

Grimes Sisters case


quote:

Max Fleig was a 17-year-old suspect in this case. He voluntarily took a polygraph test and failed it. After failing the polygraph, he allegedly confessed to kidnapping the girls. However, because at that time it was illegal to perform the polygraph test on a minor, police had to let Fleig go. He was never charged with the murders because there was no evidence that he killed or kidnapped the girls other than his alleged confession and the polygraph failure. Max Fleig was sent to prison a few years later for the unrelated murder of a young woman.

Palmyra Atoll


quote:

Walker and Stearns were arrested in Honolulu in 1974 after returning from Palmyra aboard the Sea Wind, a yacht stolen from the Grahams. Because no bodies were found at the time, Walker and Stearns were convicted only for the yacht theft in August 1975. Six years later, a partially buried corroded chest was found in a lagoon at Palmyra, containing Eleanor Graham's remains. Walker and Stearns were arrested in Arizona for murder. Walker was convicted in 1985. Stearns was acquitted in 1986 after her defense argued that Walker committed the murders without Stearns's knowledge. Walker served 22 years in the United States Penitentiary, Victorville, California before receiving parole in 2007.

On the third day, deep in the woods, we arrived at the shelter to find a strange group already there.at the time, I had never seen so many guns and tactical equipment in my life. I was young enough to not realize it was weird until I could tell our two counsellors were freaked the frick out. There were 4 or 5 filthy people in the hut that didn't say a word but just stared at us as we walked up and immediately were told to turn around by the counsellors. I remember one of the conselors telling the other that he swore it was that guy wanted for bombing the Olympics. Months later, in2003, Eric Rudolph was arrested in North Carolina for murder and terrorism. Part of his plea agreement, which I learned years later, was leading police to over 200 pounds of dynamite he had hidden in the forests.


You came across bounty hunters going after Rudolph. There was a million dollar reward which brought a lot of highly armed folks to the southwest mountains of NC looking for him. Here is a good read on it LINK

You guys should read And the Sea Will Tell by Vincent Bugliosi....same guy who prosecuted Charles Manson and wrote Helter Skelter. He was the woman's defense attorney in the Palmyra case.

The Keddie murders It could have happened to anyone camping.


They weren't camping. They lived there.

Those murders are pretty much solved. Both murderes are dead (Bo and Marty, the neighbors did it). Bo was under witness protection (mob), so the cops never presued the case. It was all a huge coverup. Very interesting case, though.

quote:

The month after the Keddie murders, Marty called a therapist and told the doctor he was being blamed for the killings. Ten years after Marty’s death in 2000, his therapist came forward and told the Plumas County Sheriff's Office that Marty had confessed to killing Sue Sharp. He also told the police that Marty was a friend of Plumas County Sheriff Doug Thomas and that Marty once let Thomas live with him. The therapist admitted that Marty told him that beating the polygraph was easy. Additionally, Marty said the reason he killed Sue was because she was trying to talk Marilyn into divorcing him. According the therapist, Martin Smartt did not confess to killing Dana, Johnny or Tina and he never said who was responsible for their murders.

I want to know why someone hasn't been arrested for setting that white girl on fire in Panola County Mississippi?

There was a whole lot of messed up crazy shite with everyone around that cases.


I am interested in the case of Eric Cates and his dog Gypsy who also were also set on fire and murdered in his truck.

quote:

Cates, 32, was found dead on the morning of Saturday, March 21 in a burned truck behind an old school in the Empire community. The body of his beloved dog, Gypsy, was found with him.
