Missing or Murdered in Missouri:
UNSOLVED AND SOLVED CASES
About The Book
Like most other states, Missouri has a growing
list of cold cases.
Three women vanish from a home in Springfield in 1992 on high school
graduation night. A
young woman is abducted in Ava and murdered after mowing a church
cemetery. A 9 year-old
disappears and her body is found in 1975.
A nurse and her children are killed in their home in a quiet
new sub- division, and two mothers have vanished without a trace.
An elderly woman who has been featured on the album cover of
a popular band is murdered in her Aldrich home.
Just as solved cold cases have become
popularized in a variety of television documentaries, Missouri cases
are also becoming closed.
DNA has been the “smoking gun” in one 25 year-old homicide
and has sent a prominent businessman to prison.
People are talking and in the case of a 15 year-old murdered
in 1982, there have been convictions.
Surveillance tapes and cell phones have been added to the
arsenal of evidence. Files are being revised and the media is
featuring their stories again.
These are some of the victims’ cases and their families who
press on and the organizations, detectives, and experts who support
them.
