This month’s missing persons case brings us back to the great state of Illinois, in the somewhat great decade of the 80s. When a young mother goes missing and her toddler is found locked in their home, you’d think there would be dozens of news articles about the disappearance. That’s what happened to Regina McCorkle …

The Unsolved: Jesse Garcia
This month’s unsolved murder case comes to us out of Texas, from the so-called Golden Age of crime: the 1970’s. There isn’t a lot of information available online regarding this case, but let’s do what we can to keep Jesse’s name in the light. Was the murder a result of a confrontation at a nearby …
Identified: The Tiger Lady
Hey y’all. Sorry for the missed post, but I’m back on track with another identified Doe! The Doe known as the Tiger Lady was unnamed for just over thirty years. Though she got her name back in November of this year, her story is still not over. What happened to Wendy Baker in October of …
The Missing: William “Bill” Roach
This month’s missing person’s post takes us to new territory: Australia! On a summer night in December (remember, it’s summer in the southern hemisphere when it’s winter in the northern), a 25 year old man went missing from Armidale, New South Wales.

The Missing: Amy Wroe Bechtel
This month’s missing persons case strays a bit from our normal cases here at the Morbid Library. And by that, I mean that it is a case with a cult following and extensive coverage. Because I use October to cover things that have held my attention for a long time, this is the only time …

The Unnamed: Hot Spring County John Doe
This month’s Doe case is a fairly unknown one - there is very little information on this case available online. But all stories are important and deserve coverage, so this Doe case is the first in a concerted effort to cover more unknown and less publicized Doe cases. So, who is the unknown hitchhiker who …
The Missing: Michael Negrete
This month’s missing persons case is one that has always grabbed my attention. It has all the makings of a case with a cult following like Maura Murray or Bryce Laspisa. But, for whatever reason, it does not get even a fraction of the attention those cases do. After attending a party and playing a …
