Linda O’Day:1981, New Castle, Delaware

Image
       Linda O’Day was born on January 13th, 1953 to Martha S. and Maurice O’Day in Wilmington, Delaware. She had three sisters and three step sisters.    When Linda was only ten, she and her eight year old sister, Martha, were in a car accident. The two had been passengers in a car and Linda’s little sister, Martha, was fatally injured in that accident. That must have been a very traumatic loss for Linda and her family.   Linda grew up in New Castle, Delaware. She graduated from William Penn High School.   In 1981, she lived just a block from the house she’d grown up in. Her parents had sold the house in the previous years. Linda's apartment was at 129 East Third Street in New Castle. #129 is the Blue House.   Linda worked as a secretary at the State Hospital near Farnhurst for Dr. Cono A. Galliani in 1981. She had worked there for several years.    She also worked part time in the evenings at a Mc...

Marylyn Theriault:1982, Sayre, Oklahoma

Image
       Marylyn Teresa Theriault was born on July 16th, 1960 in Nashua, New Hampshire. There was actually another woman with the same name. I wasn’t able to find out if they were related.    I wasn’t able to find out very much about her early life and her family. I don't know how she ended up traveling. We do know that Marylyn was last seen alive at a truck stop in Amarillo, Texas on Friday August 6th, 1982.    On Saturday August 7th, 1982, Marylyn Theriault was found under a bridge on Interstate 40 and just south of Sayre, Oklahoma. That bridge crosses over the Red River. I wasn't able to determine if she was in the water or on the land there.  It’s a very scenic and memorable spot along the Interstate. Sayre is in Western Oklahoma. It’s just about a two hour drive from Amarillo, Texas.    Marylyn was found without any clothing. She had been sexually assaulted. Duct tape had been used to bind her and asphyxiate h...

Christopher Forbes:1984, Kansas City, Missouri

Image
       Christopher Forbes was born on April 3rd, 1973, I believe. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Forbes and his brothers were Randy and Gary. His grandparents were Mr. and Mrs. Lee Renfro. He had a maternal Great Grandmother still living in 1984 in Nevada, Missouri named W.M. Oyler.    The family lived in Kansas City, Missouri in 1984 near 18th and Oakland Avenue.    On Tuesday,  August 7th, 1984, Christopher was planning to play outside. Sometimes he went to the public pool. Sometimes he and the local kids would play baseball. This was the era when “playing outside” meant that your family almost never knew exactly where you were. We kids just roamed all over and most of the time things went okay.    Christopher lived near 17th Street and Oakland Avenue. That neighborhood is close to the Blue River which winds through Kansas City, Missouri. There are also a couple of Railroad Tracks nearby. Those tracks mer...
