She was going through a tough time financially and her parents were caring for her three children. Two of her children were staying with her father Gerald and his second wife, Debbie.  Her son was staying with her mother, Imogene, in Alabama. Her family said that she loved her children very much and was hoping to get a GED and a nursing degree one day so that she could support herself and the children. She was dating a man named Andy Hussey. It seems that they were newly dating because she had not introduced him to her parents yet.  ...

         Kathryn Menendez was born on May 24th, 1977. Her mother was Janet (Pollack) Menendez.    Kathryn attended Alliance High School in Alliance, Ohio. Alliance is a small town east of Akron. She had recently transferred to West Branch High School.    Kathryn was seen alive by people that knew her on Saturday August 20th, 1994. She was 17 and it was Summer. Kathryn was out and about like anyone would want to be. Her mother could not locate her on Sunday August 21st, 1994 and then reported her missing.     On Thursday, the 25th of August, 1994, Kathryn was found by a gas and oil company worker. He discovered Kathryn’s body near a gas well off Fewtown Road. I looked on Google Earth but could not locate this well. It may be that it has been dismantled and removed since 1994.    Kathryn Menendez had not just been abducted and killed. She had been tortured. She had been beaten with fists....

Sarah Rae Boehm:1994, Berlin Reservoir, Ohio

        Sarah Rae Boehm was born on the 18th of February in 1980 in Rochester in Beaver County, Ohio. (I recently wrote about the case of Carla Chunchick Mason who was also from the little town of Rochester. Their cases are not related. Coincidences like this just seem somehow more sad and poignant.)    Sarah’s parents were Phyllis and Jack Boehm.     Sarah was born during the 1980 Winter Olympics.  I wonder if her Mom and Dad watched any of the events on tv before and after her birth. With a new infant in the house I can imagine they might have had that on the television. That was the year of the “Miracle on Ice” when the United States men’s hockey team defeated the Soviet team. Speed Skater, Eric Heiden, won five gold medals that year too.  Sarah as a child.   Sarah attended Rochester Junior High School in Rochester, Pennsylvania. She was a good student and a cheerleader. In one of her Junior high ph...
