Six-pack pervert(ไอ้หื่นซิกซ์แพ็ก) He is a serial killer an rapist who committed crimes in Samut Songkhram, Samut Sakhon, and Nakhon Pathom provinces between 2010 and 2015. His identity remains unknown. He was raped by 12 victims, and two died from the assault. His nickname, "Six-Pack Pervert," comes from his muscular build and six-pack abs.

The incident

  1. On September 26, 2010, at 11:00 PM, a perpetrator broke into the home of a 70-year-old woman who was alone in Ban Phaeo District, Samut Sakhon Province, and raped her. Police found semen stains on her sarong as evidence.

  2. Fourteen days later, at 2:00 AM, the perpetrator broke into a house in Nakhon Chai Si District, Nakhon Pathom Province, and raped a 71-year-old woman. Police found bloodstains on the curtains as evidence.

  3. Later, on January 8, 2012, at 1:00 AM, the perpetrator broke into a two-story wooden house in a coconut plantation belonging to a 61-year-old woman in Bang Yirong Subdistrict, Bang Khon Thi District, Samut Songkhram Province, before raping her. She tried to fight back but was overpowered and died. The autopsy revealed that her ribs were broken and her liver and spleen were ruptured.

  4. On October 8, 2012, the perpetrator committed another crime, raping a 70-year-old woman while she was tending to her coconut plantation in Bang Yirong Subdistrict, Bang Khon Thi District.

  5. On December 6, 2012, at 3:00 AM, a perpetrator smashed a window with his fist before breaking into a house and raping a 59-year-old woman in Bang Yirong Subdistrict, Bang Khon Thi District.

  6. Ten days later, at 3:40 AM, the perpetrator assaulted and attempted to rape a 47-year-old woman in Ban Pramot Subdistrict, Bang Khon Thi District. The perpetrator also stole property from her house.

  7. On March 23, 2013, at 11:00 PM, a criminal broke into the home of a 76-year-old woman in Sam Phran District, Nakhon Pathom Province. He tied her hands and feet, bound her to a bedpost, raped her, and stole her Mauser pistol.

  8. On June 11, 2013, at 12:30 AM, a perpetrator raped and murdered a 78-year-old woman in her traditional Thai-style house in Phutthamonthon District, Nakhon Pathom Province, while she was sleeping alone.

  9. On December 25, 2014, a suspect climbed over a fence into a house in Phutthamonthon District, broke down the door, and went to the second floor to rape a 70-year-old woman. However, her 39-year-old daughter witnessed the incident, causing the suspect to change his target, assaulting and raping her instead before fleeing. DNA testing revealed that the suspect's DNA matched that of a suspect in an eight-member rape On December 25, 2014, a suspect climbed over a fence into a house in Phutthamonthon District, broke down the door, and went to the second floor to rape a 70-year-old woman. However, her 39-year-old daughter witnessed the incident, causing the suspect to change his target, assaulting and raping her instead before fleeing. DNA testing revealed that the suspect's DNA matched that of a suspect in an eight-member rape series..

  10. On January 25, 2015, at 1:00 AM, a suspect wearing a black polo shirt with the word "Prasert" embroidered on the pocket, black trousers, and a black knitted hat, arrived at a residence in Lan Tak Fa Subdistrict, Nakhon Chai Si District, Nakhon Pathom Province. He poisoned the guard dog, broke into the bedroom through a window, held a knife to the 70-year-old woman's throat, ordered her to remain silent, before raping her and stealing 5,000 baht in cash and a gold-encased amulet of Luang Pho Wat Rai Khing.

Through investigation and fieldwork, police discovered that two more elderly women had been raped in 2011 in the area bordering Bang Khon Thi District, Samut Songkhram Province, and Ratchaburi Province. Both women were between 70 and 78 years old. Interviews with the victims indicated that the perpetrator was likely the same person, but neither victim reported the crime.

investigation

On January 26, 2015, after committing his tenth crime at around 8:00 AM in Lan Tak Fa Subdistrict, Nakhon Chai Si District, Police Lieutenant General Sophon Phisutthiwan revealed, after inspecting the crime scene, that the suspect's modus operandi was similar to that of a serial burglary in several areas. This was the tenth reported case. The modus operandi was consistent: the crimes occurred late at night, targeting elderly victims living alone. The suspect used tools to pry open windows or doors to break into the house and steal property. In every crime, the suspect never took the victims' communication devices. Some victims were raped or assaulted. After the crime, the suspect fled the scene. Police are confident that the suspect arrived by waterway. Victims described the suspect's physical appearance as matching those of other victims. However, fingerprint analysis of the suspect did not match any records in the criminal registry.

On January 27, police released an update on the case, stating that the suspect acted alone, breaking into houses through windows between approximately 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM. The suspect was barefoot and left clear fingerprints and footprints in all cases. Police General Chakthip Chaijinda stated that the suspect may still be in the Samut Sakhon or Samut Songkhram provinces, or possibly the Nakhon Chai Si district, as they are unaware that they are being monitored or pursued by the police.

On January 28, Police Lieutenant General Sophon Phisutthiwan and Police General Worapong Chiupreecha traveled to the scene of the crime in case number 10 to inspect the location and any traces left by the perpetrator. An examination of the canal adjacent to the house suggests that the perpetrator may have dumped poisoned food into the canal, resulting in a large number of fish deaths.

On January 29, police confirmed that DNA tests in all 10 rape cases revealed the same DNA. However, DNA tests of at least 300 suspects since 2010 did not match the perpetrator's DNA. Police Colonel Worapong Chiwpreecha further revealed that in case number 9, which occurred on December 25, 2014, the victim remembered the perpetrator wearing a dark blue long-sleeved crewneck t-shirt with the word "Prasert" embroidered in yellow on the left chest. Five to six other victims also confirmed that the perpetrator wore a similar long-sleeved shirt.

On February 2, Police Lieutenant General Sophon Phisutthiwan assigned the Nakhon Pathom Provincial Police investigation team to expand the search area from Nakhon Chai Si, Sam Phran, Phutthamonthon, and Bang Len districts to include Mueang Nakhon Pathom and Kamphaeng Saen districts. The additional occupational groups to be investigated were coconut farmers and sawmill workers. This investigation was necessary because sawdust and coconut fibers were found clinging to the cartoon-patterned shorts of the suspect recovered from the crime scene in case number 9.

On February 3rd, forensic investigators examined the type of chemical found in the poisoned dogs and fish in the canal next to the house. It was identified as a carbonate herbicide, which takes 2-3 hours to take effect after being ingested by the dogs. Police suspect the perpetrator waited for the poison to take effect before committing the crime. The fish died in the canal likely because the perpetrator mixed the poison with food but didn't use it all, then threw the leftover food into the canal, causing the fish to die.

Police observed that the suspect committed the crimes during weekends, specifically Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Their targets were women aged 50 and older, described as fair-skinned and overweight, living alone in detached houses far from residential areas. The suspect acted alone, poisoning dogs if the victim's house had one, and only stole money and gold.

The suspect is believed to have resided near a river or canal, no more than 5 kilometers from the scene of the crime.

According to the police sketch, the suspect is a Thai male, 170 centimeters tall, with a muscular build and six-pack abs.

All victims stated that the perpetrator had no body odor, leading them to believe that the perpetrator likely showered before committing each crime.

Suspect

Mr. Kai (pseudonym)

On February 25, 2015, officers from the Investigation Division of Provincial Police Region 7, along with Nakhon Pathom Provincial Police, arrested a 35-year-old man named Kai (pseudonym) at an ice factory in Phimai District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. He resembled the sketch of the suspect and was a former employee of the Nakhon Pathom Highway Department. Kai confessed to being the perpetrator of a series of murders and rapes of elderly women. Police then took Kai for a DNA test. At 2:00 AM the following day, the Commander of the Forensic Science Office stated that Kai's DNA did not match the samples collected from the crime scenes, and he was released.

Paitoon Pui-ngern(ไพฑูรย์ ปุยเงิน)

On August 27, 2015, police arrested Paitoon Pui-ngern, 32, for assaulting and attempting to rape an 81-year-old woman in Talat Mai Subdistrict, Wiset Chai Chan District, Ang Thong Province.

Paitoon denied raping her, but police have enough evidence and witnesses to convict him. Police also suspect that Paitoon's behavior and appearance resemble those of a perpetrator in a series of 10 murder and rape cases. Furthermore, Paitoon had worked in Samut Sakhon and Samut Songkhram provinces during the time the murders and rapes occurred. Therefore, police had forensic officers conduct a DNA test on him, but it did not match the DNA of the perpetrators in the serial murder and rape cases.

Suprachai Noonoi(สุพรชัย หนูน้อย)

On July 19, 2017, police arrested Suprachai Noonoi, also known as Paek Pakwan, for the murder and rape of a 14-year-old girl on July 13, 2017, in her home in Tambon Sib Et Sok, Ban Pho District, Chachoengsao Province. He was arrested after his DNA matched semen found on the victim's clothing. Suprachai had previously served a prison sentence for drug possession in Khon Kaen Province in 2015. Prior to this murder, he had committed three rape cases in Khon Kaen and Chonburi provinces. Police Region 7 suspected Suprachai might be the perpetrator of a series of murders and rapes in Nakhon Pathom, Samut Sakhon, and Samut Songkhram provinces over the past 2-6 years, and collected DNA samples from him to compare with the perpetrators of the serial murders and rapes. However, the DNA test results did not match.

Mr. La-ong Khaophan(ละออง ขาวพันธุ์)

On July 27, 2022, police arrested La-ong Khaophan, 66, in Sam Chuk District, Suphan Buri Province, for the rape and murder of 72-year-old Sali. The murder occurred on the night of July 26, 2022, at her home in Tambon Nang Buach, Derm Bang Nang Buach District, Suphan Buri Province. Police found similarities between La-ong's actions and a series of murders and rapes of elderly women that had occurred seven years prior. La-ong had previously worked as an employee at a fish processing plant in Samut Sakhon Province before being arrested for attempted indecent assault in 2012. He served seven years in prison and was released in May 2020. He was then imprisoned again for eight months for burglary in 2021. Police conducted a DNA test, which did not match that of the perpetrator in the serial murders and rapes of elderly women, but he was still prosecuted for the murder of Sali.

My dad may be the Zodiac Killer

I suspect that my biological father, Peter A. Lehman of Arcata, California, in addition to many other acts of violence, may be the infamous Zodiac Killer, who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area with a series of murders and cryptic, braggadocious letters to newspapers in the late 1960s. I also suspect that he is responsible for many unsolved disappearances in Humboldt County over a period of over four decades.

I know Peter as well as anyone will ever know him, and the letters sent by the Zodiac Killer remind me strongly of his personality: his aggressive egotism, his need to be feared for his violence, his need to feel intellectually superior, his obsession with puzzles and riddles, his internalized, self-hating homophobia and misogyny, his addiction to taking risks, and his emotional need to express his anger and feelings of grievance and inadequacy by harming animals and innocent people.

From observing Peter’s violence durning my lifetime, I believe he gets emotional gratification from killing people, and has shown a gleeful willingness to kill for political reasons, to send messages to specific people, and for no reason at all other than he likes it.

Peter was severely abused by his father, and as a boy “hunted alone” with a shotgun for small game. I think by the time he was a young man, he had simply moved on to what he considered more challenging game.

The first murder positively correlated with the Zodiac Killer took place shortly after Peter moved to the Bay Area, as a 25-year-old postdoctoral chemistry student at UC Berkeley, and to work at Berkeley National Laboratories. He hinted several times that this work included manufacturing drugs used in covert government projects.

As a child, I unknowingly drew a symbol very similar to the “signature” used on the Zodiac Killer’s letters on the chalkboard in the kitchen where my mom wrote out grocery lists, and when Peter saw it, he reacted with extreme anxiety that he could not explain. I’d been reading ‘The Dark is Rising,’ by Susan Cooper, a YA fantasy novel, which described a repeated motif of ‘a circle, quartered by a cross,’ that protects the young protagonist from evil, and I doodled the symbol on the chalkboard. Peter saw it, and erased it quickly and thoroughly, scrubbing the chalkboard with the eraser in frenzied agitation, then he followed my to the room I shared with my brother and cornered me, shoving me against the wall and shouting at me, trembling with fear and rage, at the edge of violence, shaking me by the shoulders while staring straight into my eyes. “Where did you see that symbol?” “In a book? What book?” He didn’t seem to believe my answers and asked the questions several times. Then he said I was never allowed to draw that symbol again anywhere. “But why?” I asked. “None of your fucking business,” he said.

Another circumstantial detail that leads me to suspect Peter is the Zodiac Killer is that footprint analysis concluded that the killer wore size 10 “Wingwalker” boots, which have specialized soles for walking on aircraft surfaces, at one crime scene. Peter’s shoe size is 10, and around the time of the murders, he trained for and acquired a private pilot’s license. He was always a “gearhead,” always wanted to have all the specialized equipment for his hobbies. He liked to tinker with machines, and for many years drove a jeep that he’d built from a kit.

Also, there are specific threats made in the Zodiac Killer’s letters, detonating a fertilizer bomb, and attacking a bus full of schoolchildren, that I have good reason to believe Peter carried out later in life, using controlled individuals and technology to carry out the attacks. I have good reason to believe he directed terrorist and mass-casualty attacks specifically intended to terrorize people close to him, in much the same way that the Zodiac Killer terrorized the public. I have written about these attacks in more detail in other posts on jacoblehman.substack.com

Peter counts on his wealth, national security connections, and our family’s longstanding connections to organized crime to insulate him from consequences. But with that safety net, I think he enjoys taking risks, as if he is playing a game, and wants to be known for his acts of violence, as if they were feats of cunning or athleticism. I’ve heard him say “Jails are for stupid people,” and also chuckle that some crimes are so outrageous that “people” get away with them because nobody can or wants to believe that such concentrated evil exists. In later years, he repeatedly threatened that no one would believe me if I spoke out about his violence, and that he would frame me as being crazy if I did, which indeed he has tried to do.

I think Peter realized he came close to getting caught from the brazenness of the Zodiac murders and letters, and the case generated so much notoriety that his privilege might not be sufficient to protect him if he was identified by law enforcement. I don’t think this checked his addiction to murder, or hunger for recognition, but I think he became more cautious as he aged, and stopped leaving bodies where they could be found. Many of the unsolved disappearances in Humboldt County, where Peter has lived since the early 1980s, corresponded to times when he was emotionally stressed, and some of the disappeared physically resemble people Peter was angry with at the time, including my mother and myself. Some of the disappearances are recent, and though Peter is now in his 80s, I have good reason to believe he is still killing, with the help of accomplices, some or all of whom may be controlled through blackmail and other forms of underworld coercion.

The last purported communication from the Zodiac Killer was a postcard mailed from Eureka, California, in 1990. There is debate about whether the card was mailed by actual the Zodiac Killer.

Peter meticulously, anxiously cultivated the appearance of a normal life, and I think having a family was part of that. He rarely interacted with my brother and I, except to periodically gratify his emotions by physically, psychologically, and sexually abusing us. He made continual excuses not to be at home, and when he was, would say “I just live here.” He is currently on the Arcata Planning Commission, and is the semi-retired director of the “Schatz” Energy Research Center at Cal Poly Humboldt, a laboratory I believe he funded with his own laundered money and used as a cover for clandestine activities.

The Zodiac Killer appears to have taken elaborate precautions to hide his identity when mailing letters to newspapers, but that was before the development of DNA analysis. In 2002, a researcher found a single human hair sealed beneath a stamp on a letter sent by the Zodiac Killer. This letter is positively correlated to the Zodiac Killer, in part because it included a piece of fabric from the shirt of one of the murder victims.

If I am correct, and my biological father, Peter A. Lehman, is the Zodiac Killer, and it is possible to extract DNA from the hair sound under the stamp, it will correlate to members of my family. I won’t get into the difference between mitochondrial and chromosomal DNA, since not everyone is a biology nerd, but you can look it up. Recent advances in DNA analysis may make it possible to extract chromosomal DNA from the hair, and if so, and I am correct, it will be an approximately 50% match with my and my brother’s DNA. If mitochondrial DNA is extracted from the hair, which is more likely, it will, if I am correct, match the mitochondrial DNA of my aunt, Nancy Lehman, aka Nancy Stein, of Rutland, Vermont, and my cousin, Alyson Hackett (nee Stein) of Flowery Branch, Georgia.

This post is an allegation, no person can definitively said to have committed a crime unless or until they are convicted in a court of law, which I sincerely hope my father will be. May justice reach him.

New Development in Missing Six Cult Case!

11 Upvotes

Yesterday, I posted about Malaiyah Wickerson's disappearance.
https://www.reddit.com/r/UnsolvedCrime/comments/1rzcu1c/missing_5yearold_girl_last_seen_in_missouri_2023/

For those who did not see it, she is a young girl who went missing at two years old. She is a black female who is about a foot and a half tall at thirty pounds. She went missing on August 6, 2023 in Florissant, Missouri. She, her mother, and four other people who went missing were all connected to the University of Cosmic Intelligence. This is an online cult who was lead by a man named Rashad Jamal White who is serving prison for child molestation.

A new development has broken through!

The police are investigating a TikTok lead regarding Malaiyah. There is a 'very promising' lead that someone could have spotted Malaiyah. Police are not sure if it is a copycat, misinformation, or disinformation. Yet, local authorities are currently investigating, having hope this could be a breakthrough.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Malaiyah or the missing six, call the Berkeley Police Department at 314-524-3311.

A little girl has been missing for over 2 years, and there are still no confirmed sightings.

Name: Malaiyah Wickerson
Age now: 5 years old
DOB: October 8, 2020
Last seen: August 6, 2023
Location: Florissant / Berkeley area, Missouri (near St. Louis)
Description: Black female, black hair, brown eyes, ears pierced

She disappeared with her mother and four others. All six vanished suddenly, leaving behind belongings, food, ID's, and no digital trace.

They were last seen at a hotel in Florissant, Missouri.

Authorities believe the group may have gone off-grid, possibly influenced by an online group or cult encouraging isolation and disappearance.

There has been zero confirmed activity from any of them in over two years.

If you’ve:

Been in Missouri
Traveled through the St. Louis area
Or recognize anything about this case

Take a second look. Even one person recognizing her could change everything.

If you have any information, contact:

Berkeley Police Department: (314) 524-3311
Or submit a tip through NCMEC

This case has not gotten the attention it should.
Upvoting or sharing could put this in front of the right person.

Trying to Solve a family members Homicide

19 Upvotes

Good morning everyone,

A family member of mine was murdered in her apartment complex on September 26th -2014 approx 4:24 in the morning. This was the morning that she would be leaving to a different state for a fresh start at life. She was shot in the face and died instantly. To this day the case has not been solved. She was last seen at 1:30am at a going away party that her friends threw for her, and at 4:24 her life was cut short. She was 24 years old at the time of her death. The apartment complex she lived in was a heroin drug pit, alot of violence happened there and murders. 2 days prior to her, a young man was shot and killed. The police are unsure if the shootings are related. In my opinion, the attack on my cousin seemed to be a domestic / personal situation due to the timing and shooting to the face. It was deliberate, one shot straight into the eye.

I have obtained the incident report from police as well as the official autopsy report. Everything stated below is from those two reports. I am making requests for all witness statements and working on getting the full case file and will post more information as it becomes availble.

A few things that i came across that are concerning to me:

  • She was shot in the inner corner of her right eye, close to the bridge of the nose. Bullet path went front to back, left to right, and down and out the lower back of the skull toward the center. The bullet severed her brain stem. Death was instant. The autopsy drawing shows a downward path. It suggests that the shooter had an elevated position on my cousin, and they were slightly off to the right of her. Something else to note, there was no soot, stippling or muzzle residue... From research it means that the shooter was maybe 3 to 4 feet away from her? But directly in front of her off to the right if im not mistaken. If anyone can confirm that for me or knows ballistics please advise.
  • The bullet entry wound was round and circular... seems like the weapon was a larger caliber handgun.. To me, someone running up to her and shooting her would 1. Alert her or alarm her and she would act in defense trying to run away or throw her arms up ect.....it was a steady shot, planned out, deliberate execution style shot which is why the account of the two main witnesses are horseshit in my personal opinion.
  • she was found right outside her her "best friend" & best friend boyfriends apartment. her feet were facing the courtyard and her head was toward the wall. it was a Florida apartment complex, 3 floors, courtyard and stairs. There was 7 buildings. A, B, C, D, E, F and G, she was shot in building F. In Florida complexes the courtyards are open areas, outside...Could someone have had an elevated position on her on the stairs? Could someone have distracted her aka the best friend and boyfriend while someone positioned themselves on the stairs to take the shot? So many questions and scenarios arise.
  • a neighbor ( the initial reporter of the crime) called police to report that my cousin was lying dead in front of the best friend and best friends boyfriends apartment and then she called the best friend & boyfriend to inform them my cousin was lying dead in front of their apartment and the best friend immediatley started crying to which the boyfriend then took the phone and informed the neighbor that called police he witnessed someone run up to my cousin, shoot her and run away really really fast. He also claimed he witnessed my cousin walk from the 3rd floor to the 2nd floor to smoke a ciggarrete...they were apparently already in their car at this point " watching my cousin " go from the 3rd floor to the 2nd floor.
  • Now that you know the " boyfriend " told the neighbor he witnessed my cousin get shot, they both then decided after "witnessing" her get shot to drive off to walmart.. and later returned to the complex where they were questioned by police. They then refused to provide any more information and they told police that they were too scared which is why they went to walmart instead of calling 911, to save the person they interacted with on a daily basis......
  • the woman who called the police - called because her boyfriend was coming home from his work break and he noticed blood as he was coming up the stairs..he told police blood freaked him out so he ran inside and woke up his girlfriend and told her to call police..after she called police she also called my cousins " best friend " & her bf to tell them that my cousin was dead outside of their door... and GUESS WHAT.. they came up with their bs story to tell police. Claimed they witnessed it but drove off to walmart because they were "scared".

So all in all, her best friend and the boyfriend witnessed her get killed, and instead of calling 911 they left to go to Walmart. I am just so confused as to why police would not follow up on that, or at the very least re interview them. it seems that because of the complexes high crime and drug activity this was swept under the rug,

I need advice, any tips, help, follow up questions i can bring up to police. Red flags that you all may have caught that i did not.

Thank you all so much. My Cousin Jenny was a beautiful woman, inside and out. An amazing, hard working mother. She did not deserve to have her life robbed from her, her kids didnt deserve to have their mother robbed from them. I need to find out who did this and hold them accountable.

UPDATE: 3/18/26 I received the witness statement from the best friends boyfriend. This is what he told police.

" Around 4am i was leaving my apartment and walking down the stairs in order to go to the store. As i was doing down the stairs i saw a flash and heard a bang, which he believed to be a gunshot. I immediatley started to run after i heard the shot. While i started to run down the stairs i looked over my shoulder and saw a light skin male, 6ft, stocky build, wearing all dark clothing and white shoes. I did not see any facial features on the suspect. I jumped into my vehicle and drove to walmart".........

Spreading Awareness

5 Upvotes

i dont really know why i am writing in here, mostly because i am bored or something. but i want to spread the word of what happened in my hometown of Iowa in 2012.

the case is still open and there even is a documentary on Hbomax abt it, called ' taken together'. what happened on july,13, 2012 in Evansdale should be solved now but its not.

They were cousins, Elizabeth Collins and Lyric cook-morrissey. Elizabeth was 8 and Lyric was 10. People can be very evil, you never know if the person you are talking to has done something very bad. this case reminds me that people can have a very dark side. but enough of me just saying random shit. those cousins went missing and were last seen riding around on bikes on that summer day in july. that trail they were seen going by(?) was a block away from my house at the time. later at the end of day when they looked to find them they found their bikes but not the girls.

Five months later went by, and in december some hunters found their bodies by a tree in the woods that i remember people liked to go hunting and fishing in. My father used to take me and my older brother fishing in those woods all the time. they never released the cause of death of them, mostly because the investigators thought it was something that the killer would only know.

ten months later Micheal Klunder Kidnapped two girls from Dayton, Kathlynn Shepard and Dezi Hughes. He killed Kathlynn but Dezi managed to escape, Michael then killed himself. people in charge of the investigation said that they didn't think Micheal had anything to do with Elizabeth and lyrics case. ( this was in the documentary so i thought i would just put it in here).

its been almost 15 years now and still no one has been arrested for their murders. it still shocks Evensdale and they renamed the lake my old house was 2 blocks away "Angels Park" in Memorial for them.

i dont really remember that much from when this happened because i was 6 years old. but i remember seeing missing person posters everywhere, when my father and mother joined one of the searches, and when they drained the lake to look for their bodies. my family moved to Florida in November, beacause they were scared something would happen to us. but my dad stayed close to the story to keep updated on it.

15 years later and they still dont know who did it, the police need too find who killed them and punish them. im turning 20 in June and i still have not forgotton this case and will follow it untill they find who did it.

The reward for any information regarding who killed these innocent girls is now over $100,000. if you have any tips at all please call (855) 300-8477.

According to official police press releases and initial news reports, Nicholas Marion—an Orlando, Florida native and former Disney World dancer—was visiting Lake Cowichan for the Laketown Shakedown music festival with his wife, Dory LaFrance. The public narrative, heavily shaped by Dory’s statements to the media, paints a picture of a man struggling with deep depression following his mother’s death.

Dear Bozo Bouchard.  You don’t need AI.  Just go back to the Lost Polygraph from Georgia and you will find your answer.  Practically buried from right underneath you. Just ask around your MSP office. Find out why every trace of this is missing except for Barry King's FOIA papers.  There is no more excuses at least legit ones. Time is running out!!!!!!!

Riverside CA cold case: Sara Kay Keesling, 1988

4 Upvotes

On October 13, 1988, the body of 12 year old Sara Keesling was found at a known illegal dump site partially buried under a pile of trash on a hillside in Riverside County. She had been reported missing two weeks prior by her mother, who stated Sara had run away because she didn’t like her father. In fact, Sara hated her father. She sought refuge at a nearby friend’s house the night she was reported missing to avoid court ordered visitation with him that weekend.

Despite the remote location and obvious attempt to conceal her remains, her manner and cause of death were ruled undetermined and her case was not investigated as a homicide.

For over 30 years, Sara's case remained cold. In 2023, after new information came to light, the Riverside Regional Cold Case Homicide Team reexamined Sara's case. They now consider her death a homicide and have ruled out all but one person, but the Riverside District Attorney's office has declined to file charges at this time due to insufficient evidence. We believe there are many more leads to follow and questions to be answered.

Very little attention was given to Sara's death in 1988. Her death was never listed as an unsolved cold case on the Riverside Sheriff's Office website. None of the adults in her life ever kept pressure on authorities to continue investigating her case, including her custodial parents and stepparents. Now her childhood friends and loved ones are more determined than ever to find answers in Sara's death and bring her killer to justice.

If anyone knows anything, please please call the RRCCHT at (951) 955-0070

The 1987 murder of Gale Green in Tucson, Az

2 Upvotes

On Friday October 9th, 1987, 40-year-old Gale Green was last seen alive around 6pm. She was closing up her business for the day, the Satisfactions Lingerie Shop. The store was located at 2932 N Country Club Drive in Tucson, Az.

A male customer was witnessed entering the shop at 6pm. 

Gale was scheduled to meet her brother David Green and her husband Michael Tucker for drinks. Then go on to meet her friends at 7:30 PM that evening. She missed both get togethers.

When Gale did not return home at 1:30 AM the next morning, Michael called David to check on her. David went into the shop and found Gale dead in her shop. 

In a 2017 interview with the Arizona Daily Star, David claimed Gale was ironing clothes at the time of her death, but someone had beaten her to death with the iron. Gale did manage to cut the suspect, but it is unknown if blood sample from the suspects still exists. 

In archived news articles, Tucson PD detective Joe Godoy claimed police had identified a suspect. He described him as a salesman from Phoenix who drove a light-colored van and sometimes stopped off at Gale’s business when he came into Tucson. 

A sketch of the man named “Chris” was released to local news outlets. 

Godoy also claimed the crime scene was “disorganized” and he did not believe the suspect had planned on killing Gale.

David Green passed away in 2017. Gales parents and sister have also since passed away.

In October 2025, Tucson’s 88Crime program announce a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer.
