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 [...]

The Unnamed: Ventura County Doe (1980)
This month’s Doe brings us back to California. The Ventura County Doe was found stabbed and strangled to death in the summer of 1980.

The Unsolved: Georgette Bauerdorf
