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 ...

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...

Image
    Rhonda Knutson was born on October 19th, 1969 to Mary Virginia Marvin Knutson and Nels Harvey Knutson.    She grew up in Chickasaw County, Iowa and graduated high school in 1988.    Rhonda was working at a Phillips 66 gas station and convenience store in 1992 on Highway 63 near Williamstown, Iowa.    At some point during her overnight shift on September 7th, 1992, a man came in. Most of the people who came in were known to Rhonda. A small town gas station has a lot of regulars. One night is usually the same as any other.   That night was not the same as every other. That night was violent and tragic. Rhonda was beaten to death. She was found in the back room of the store by a co-worker who had come for their shift the next morning.    Rhonda did not have enemies according to those who knew her. There were many rumors about the murder. Investigators followed up on the many tips. They interviewed as m...
