Clockwise from left, Denise Lampe, Michelle Mitchell, Paula Baxter, Veronica “Ronnie” Cascio, Tanya Marie Blackwell and Carol Lee Booth “Beedy”. All six women disappeared mysteriously in 1976.

I’m glad someone’s finally spending some time on this, but alas, this was 38 years ago, and it’s not unlikely that the killer is dead.

They look exactly like Ted Bundy’s type.

Unless they have some DNA and other evidence, their chances are probably pretty low.

After 38 years I would think that most of the neighbors from that time period would have moved, etc.

You think Bianchi and Buono did these? I really doubt it. They were both living in LA in 76. Bianchi totally ratted out Buono for leniency and after confessing to participating in a nine murders already, he would have had no reason to hold back on these.

As long as law enforcement is revisiting California serial murder cases from yesteryear, how about looking into “The Zodiac” murders again and find the real perp? Those cases have never been solved, although several names have been mentioned as possible suspects.

Bubba Ho-Tep said: "They look exactly like Ted Bundy’s type."

That was my immediate reaction as well. They are all young women and most have long, straight, dark hair parted in the middle.

Apparently Bundy was incarcerated at the time of these murders. It would have been quite eerie had he been on one of his escapades after an escape. I wonder if there is any chance that it was a Bundy copy-cat?

That was my first thought. I grew up in FL and am fairly familiar with the Bundy. They should dig him up and crap on his bones every year.

Yeah, I suspect they would have to conduct seances to speak to a few of them.

There certainly is a resemblence in all those girls,
even facial type.

Pretty cold trail but maybe they have something
that ties them together...

The Zodiac murders were nearly 50 years ago — the likelihood is that the perp was a known nutjob who spent his twilight years in the nuthouse; the murders stopped after he was locked up.

This news from last week is very compelling re: the Zodiac killer.

Looks like he was doing his first stint in jail at that time...prior to his escape in ‘77.

More detailed article here:

Authorities began re-examining the death case of Michelle Mitchell — a woman found tied with her throat slashed in a garage near the university’s campus in 1976 — last year when Cathy Woods, who was convicted in the murder, requested review of evidence, Reno police Deputy Chief Mac Venzon said.

Remember Richard Jewell

He was a Good Samaritan, and the FBI tried very hard to frame him up for the bombing.

The FBI never cleared this up.
