Police didn’t protect the crime scene. For example, the Ramsey’s friends contaminated everything that morning plus John brought JBR from the basement instead of leaving her in place. I could go on, but there are yearly threads on this topic.
All I know is that Patsy went to the grave with a huge secret about what happened that night. It’s crazy JBR could have turned 32 later this month.

Now hold on a second. I hope you’re not saying the coroner was corrupt or anything. People who die from drowning almost always have disappearing organs, right?

You kidding? OJ is out now still looking for the real killer. In related news, OJ Simpson has not owned a mirror in 25 years or so…

How fricked is it to live a successful life to 88 years old and then get murdered?

Well give us the details. The OT has solved all kinds of shite. Why not a cold case murder? Let’s go.

Might as well try.

The Salcido murders were horrific. It is good to see that Carmina, his then 3-year-old daughter who survived his attack, has started a family of her own.

Can someone provide a TL;DR version of this without having to read all 40 pages of the thread?

Actually another one that has always stuck in my mind is Philadelphia's "Boy In The Box". Incredibly they just cracked his actual identity - Joseph Zarelli.
quote:
In February 1957, the boy's body, wrapped in a plaid blanket, was found in the woods off Susquehanna Road in Fox Chase, Philadelphia.[4] The body was first discovered by a young man who was checking his muskrat traps. Fearing that the police would confiscate his traps, he did not report what he had found.[5] A few days later, a college student spotted a rabbit running into the underbrush. Knowing that there were animal traps in the area, he stopped his car to investigate and discovered the body. He was also reluctant to have any contact with the police, but he did report what he had found the following day, after hearing of the disappearance of Mary Jane Barker.
The naked body was inside a cardboard box which had once contained a bassinet of the kind sold by J. C. Penney. The boy's hair had been recently cropped, possibly after death, as clumps of hair clung to the body. There were signs of severe malnourishment, as well as surgical scars on the ankle and groin, and an L-shaped scar under the chin.
Finally identified after almost 70 years.
quote:
More than six decades since a child was found dead and abandoned in Philadelphia, police have identified the "Boy in the Box."
During a press conference late Thursday morning, officials identified the child as Joseph Augustus Zarelli.
On February 25, 1957, Zarelli was found dead, naked and severely beaten in a cardboard box on the side of Susquehanna Road in Philadelphia’s Fox Chase neighborhood.
He was unidentified for decades and was known as "the Boy in the Box."
“The longest continuously investigated homicide in the history of the Philadelphia Police Department,” Bill Fleisher, of the Vidocq Society, a volunteer organization, told NBC10.
The Vidocq Society is made up of retired law enforcement and forensic professionals who examine cold cases.

Martha Moxley...there is no doubt in me and my younger brothers mind we met the guy that killed her at the W Hotel in NYC in 2002.

Damn man, sorry. I can't imagine not knowing what happened to my dad. How old are you now?

I've listened to audio of that. It was perpetrated by trained federal operatives. Unit of platoon size or close to it, with more than small arms

I can try. 5 girls lived in a 3 story home, there was access to the home from both the first floor and second floor. 2 girls lived on the first floor, 2 girls lived on the 3rd floor, and 1 girl lived on the second floor (her boyfriend was staying over the night of the murder). The kids on the second and third floor were stabbed to death. The two girls who lived on the first floor were unharmed.
The night of the murders all 6 of the people who were going to end up sleeping in the house went out (in pairs, they all went to different places). I don't recall exactly where the girls on the first floor went out, but they came home first. The couple who were staying on the second floor went to a frat party near the house. They got home at 1:45am. The girls who were staying on the 3rd floor went to a bar, and then to a food truck to get a late night snack. They were seen in a video from the food truck talking to a guy in a hoodie, who leaves the area directly after the girls leave (he has been identified as Jack Showalter). They got a ride from a private party and were seen arriving home at 1:56am. Between 2:26-2:52am one of the girls on the third floor called her boyfriend (on again off again) several times. It is said that the 4 victims were possibly killed in their sleep, or at least at or near their beds. They were all stabbed.
Police are looking into a 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra that was seen that night near the house, around the time of the murders.
There's some stuff that I missed, but that is the gist of it.

Thanks! Did the 2 girls on the first floor not hear/see anything since they were home at the time?

No, apparently slept through it.
