The Unsolved: LaVena Johnson
As stated in my previous post, I will be focusing on black victims of crime for my True Crime posts (John/Jane Does, Missing Persons, Unsolved Murders) to amplify the message that Black Lives Matter. These stories deserve to be told and we need to say their names. Our first post will examine the unsettling death …
The Unnamed: I-90 Doe
This post is connected to the last post - Bitter Creek Betty and the I-90 Doe were killed by the same man, Clark Perry Baldwin. Because of this, the section regarding him will be the same as it was in Betty's writeup. The Discovery On April 13, 1992, the decomposing remains were found off the …
The Unnamed: Bitter Creek Betty
I know I just covered a Doe case a few weeks back, but this week we’re going to take a look at another one. Bitter Creek Betty’s case has recently come back into the news because her killer has been caught. He has also been connected to the case of the I-90 Doe, also found …

Who Was Paula? Paula Jean Welden was born in 1928 to well-known engineer, architect, and designer William Walden. He was a very influential man, which will come into play later.

The Haunted: The Greenbrier Ghost

The story I’m about to tell could fall into a few categories - it’s part ghost story, part true crime tale, and part urban legend. This is the story of the death of Zona Heaster Shue, and how …
The Unnamed: Sumter County Does Part II
This is one of the most frustrating Doe cases I’ve ever read about. We have so many clues about these people. They boy had very distinctive features. Why can’t anyone find a string to follow here? This second part was very frustrating to research and is ultimately not satisfying. There are no answers here, and …
The Unnamed: Sumter County Does Part I
This week, we will be examining an extremely notable Doe case. Well, Doe cases. There are two victims here, apparently killed together. The internet seems to be obsessed with this case - it seems so solvable. That’s part of the reason why I picked it; there are so many details that should have already led …
The Occult: The Bridgewater Triangle Part V
In all of my research for the previous four posts about the Bridgewater Triangle, one thing has loomed large: rumors of the occult.
