I saw where someone linked this article on a site about superstitions surrounding the various saints' days. Our ancestors were a lot more practical than a lot of people today: they got rid of superfluous dogs. Now, in Westernized countries, people worship the filthy vermin.

I didn't watch the video more than a few seconds because of the narrator's annoying speech impediment. However, I'm familiar with the case and because there's no trace of the girls and it's now been almost 50 years, it's probably safe to say it won't ever be solved, unless the bodies are found. The note from Rachel is suspicious, but a comparison of handwriting samples suggest she wrote it. Of course, if the kidnaper had forced her to write it, she would have been nervous, which would account for the correction of her name, or she may have deliberately made the mistake so people would know they were in trouble. They probably met some man who somehow talked them into getting into his car and he took them some place where he could rape them at leisure before killing them.

From the comments members of this group are making, I'm getting the feeling that some of you support the ex-boyfriend instead of the woman he probably killed. I can't speak for anyone else who has commented but I think if Houck was involved in her death, it was accidental. Like it says in the article, Crystal Rogers was a white trash woman who had 5 kids by 4 different fathers and the only reason 2 of them had the same father is because they were twins. Still, she didn't deserve to die and I don't believe that anyone feels she deserved it. Brooks Houck, in spite of his property and money, is also white trash, as are the others involved in this case. The reason Bardstown is so rotten is because it's full of white trash from top to bottom. However, like Jason said, Houck's high bond is unreasonable and unconstitutional and it should be lowered to a reasonable amount.

Are these the murders that were committed by some weirdo who was living in the house with a woman who had no idea what he was doing? These murders have never been solved. The killer you're thinking of is Sean Vincent Gillis, who killed 8 women in Baton Rouge.

Exorbitant bail violates the 8th Amendment of the US Constitution, and a $10 million cash bail for this man is exorbitant. If he has a good lawyer, his bail will be reduced to a reasonable amount. These people are all white trash but even if Houck killed her, it probably wasn't intentional, which would make it involuntary manslaughter and improper disposal of a body, or some nonsense like that. I think the FBI swooped in after the body that wasn't that of Crystal Rogers was found, and Houck and the other man were arrested on flimsy evidence.

I have no intention of reading this book. Books written by victims or family members always suck because they go into too many personal matters that no one cares about.

Why are you so sure they weren't abducted? You're probably right, but on a site like this, I would expect people to be a little more open minded. I'm sure because aliens from outer space don't abduct people. I think most of us are fairly open-minded, but there's a difference between open-minded and gullible. For example, I believe in the possibility of ghosts, i.e., that the soul doesn't die along with the body. On the other hand, I'm not dumb enough to believe orbs are anything other than light refractions, that EVP is anything other than ordinary noises misinterpreted by some paranormal "expert," or any of the other ridiculous nonsense pushed by ghost hunters.

OK, we all know they weren't abducted by frigging space aliens, so what does everyone think really happened? While there's always a possibility that something else took place that night, I've always thought they made up the abduction story and then repeated it so often that they came to believe it themselves.

Apparently it didn't occur to this genius that if Lance Sisk had killed them, he wouldn't have left Mason alive.

This is 214 Gordon Street, Thomson, Georgia. On February 27, 2001, which was Shrove Tuesday (aka Fat Tuesday), after a pancake supper at the local Episcopal church, Robin Reeves Standridge was murdered by an unknown assailant. It was generally believed that her ex-husband, who was living in California, hired someone to kill her because he couldn't account for $12,500 that he had withdrawn from his bank. There's a $15,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in this case.
Robin Reeves was born on Valentine's Day of 1966.
Thomson, which is known as the "Camellia City of the South," is named for J. Edgar Thomson, chief engineer and surveyor of the Georgia Railroad.
Stacey Abrams, a fat, ugly loser, lost to Gov. Brian Kemp twice, in 2018 and 2022. I couldn't have named it without the "fat, ugly loser" clue!

Good article, and although there are still a lot of unanswered questions, it explains a lot. After many years pass, it's easy to misquote people, especially if they're dead, and I think that's what a lot of people did, like Deborah Gould, for instance. She never said Peter Lawford told her Marilyn and RFK were having an affair until after Lawford died.
This is somewhat off topic, but did anyone else notice the Kennedy kid on horseback in his tennis shoes? You never, ever ride in shoes that don't have heels because if the horse bolts and you fall, you can get your foot caught in the stirrup and the horse will drag you to death. The Kennedys have always been known for doing idiotic things, like playing football on skis, which got one of them killed. Then there was JFK, Jr., who decided to fly at night when he wasn't instrument certified. I'm surprised even more of them haven't died accidental deaths.

People do strange things, and I suppose it's possible that this kid wanted his 15 minutes of fame after death, but saying he disassembled and discarded the guns he used has a ring of truth. I've always thought "Doodie" Tennison was the most likely killer. The police seem to be stuck on Swinney, the car thief, but the police are often wrong.

I think I know this one: 2305 Westview Drive, Springfield, Illinois. On August 29, 1995, Mark Winger, a nuclear engineer, called police and told them he had shot a man who entered his home and attacked his wife, Donnah Winger, with a hammer, and he had shot her attacker. Both were still breathing when first responders arrived, but they were pronounced dead a short while later. The attacker turned out to be Roger Harrington, an airport shuttle driver who had driven Donnah from the airport in St. Louis when she returned from visiting her family in Hollywood, Florida. During the two-hour trip, he had talked about things that she considered inappropriate and she filed a complaint against him with the company.
It wasn't until 1999 that DeAnn Schultz, Donnah's so-called best friend, told police she and Mark Winger had been having an affair and he talked about killing his wife. The police reopened the investigation and came to the conclusion that he had lured Harrington to the house, possibly by promising him his wife would withdraw her complaint, and staged the crime scene. Winger is now serving life in prison.
St. Louis was the site of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, aka the 1904 World's Fair. In 1944, Judy Garland starred in the movie Meet Me in St. Louis, in which she sang the song of the same name.

I'm re-watching The Crucible and I've seen the play twice. I know it's not a true account of what happened but people say the other movies about the Salem Witch Trials, like the one with Kirstie Alley, that claims to be a true account, are mostly fiction, too. What exactly in the The Crucible and the other movies isn't accurate? In The Crucible, Arthur Miller compares the Salem Witch Trials to the communist hunt of the 1950s led by Sen. Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin. In the play, he turned Abigail Williams, who was only 11, into a teenager who had an affair with John Proctor. In what was advertised as the "true story" of the Salem Witch Trials, Kirstie Alley played the part of Ann Putnam, who was one of the primary accusers, but in the movie, she intervenes and puts an end to the trials.

How could anyone become addicted to something as vile as carrot juice?
