Local Unsolved Mysteries

I feel like they looked at Joshua’s case again a few years ago. They found a bunch of pictures on his computer of men and they published the pics to see if anyone recognized the people and tried to talk to those identified. It may have helped rule some ppl out but he is still missing as far as I know.
I read 2 of the Jacob wetterling books and even though I knew what happened they talked about a few things that I hadn’t known about before

Here in Boston the one that I think is craziest is oddly also a Swedish woman who was killed - Karina Holmer. She was working as a nanny for a wealthy family and was found dismembered in a dumpster downtown after going out to some clubs. Clubs that I also went to in the late 90s. The dad she worked for was very suspicious I recall but they never solved it.

Oh god, she was found in the dumpster under my apartment kitchen window (I didn't live there until 4 years later and didn't realize it was the infamous dumpster until after I moved in...). 

omg! I’m glad you didn’t realize it when you lived there - I wouldn’t have been able to handle something like that

That case was crazy! I think about it all the time. It was so gruesome that it’s hard to believe it was an isolated incident, but to public knowledge it is.

Lenoria Jones was a little girl who went missing near where I lived as a teen and it’s always haunted me. I feel like it was a long time before they announced to the public there was no evidence she was ever at the Target her great aunt said she disappeared from (and I had shopped there many times). People questioned if the great aunt had dementia. Obviously there was foul play but they never had any real evidence.

Target Corp. has its own crime lab and investigation team. If it happened at Target, they would have figure it out.

The Skelton brothers.

They were last seen on Thanksgiving in 2010. The father, who was last with them, said that he left them with friends but then said he gave them to an unknown woman. He currently in jail for unlawful imprisonment and refuses to tell anyone what happened to the boys.

I can not imagine the torture the mom goes through daily.

Oh man, I remember this one now that you mention it.  As a mom, I can't imagine have my kids kidnapped, but then not ever knowing what happened to my them.

I was just reading up to see if there were any updates (there are not) and saw the their mom is now a grandma. I did not know that she had two other kids. She is also engaged to her boyfriend. Glad she has been able to find some happiness.
