The Disappearance of Nguyet Thu “Wiki” Phung
EARLY LIFE:
Nguyet Thu “Wiki” Phung was born on September 18, 1971 in Vietnam. Around 1975, she and her family immigrated to the United States, as her parents wanted to escape the country’s communist takeover. They, Nguyet and her five siblings settled in Snohomish County, Washington.
According to those who knew her, Nguyet rarely went by her first name and would, instead, present herself as “Thu”, her middle name, even in her school yearbooks.
DISAPPEARANCE:
Nguyet was last seen leaving her parents’ apartment in Lynnwood, Washington on May 9, 1991. She’d planned to study at Shoreline Community College, before going to her clerical job at the Federal Building in Seattle, Washington, as was her regular routine.
According to one missing persons poster about her case, she was last seen at the library on the University of Washington campus. It should be noted, however, that this is the only source to…

Chris Jennings
Chris Michael Jennings, age 16, went missing from Kootenai County, Idaho on September 7, 1980.
He had accompanied his family to the North Idaho State Fair, where they were showing pigs. Chris reportedly became bored and wanted to go home, and his parents didn’t object. His brother also went home. They fed their animals, then Chris headed to a party.. He was never seen again.
In the beginning, his family believed him to be a runaway, as he had been displaying rebellious behavior and was experimenting with alcohol and drugs. There were also family problems; his parents were headed for divorce and frequently argued.
After no word from Chris in the ensuing weeks, his family grew worried and reported his disappearance to the police. There wasn’t much of an investigation at the time, and his parents eventually gave up searching.
Over a decade later, Chris’ sister was startled to receive…

Duped by Saul Kassin
Saul Kassin’sDuped: Why Innocent People Confess and Why We Believe Their Confessions(Prometheus Books, 2022) is a part of the growing body of literature that discusses false confessions, the psychology behind false accusations, and the injustice that is baked into the American judicial system. What I think this book is doing differently is explaining why false confessions are so easily believed and, even more alarmingly, how false confessions can poison every other piece of evidence in a case.
Saul Kassin is a social psychologist and professor, specializing in evidence and trial procedure, as well as the scientific study off false confession. Kassin’s experience makes this book extremely effective. Kassin’s text makes several clear-cut arguments as it explains why innocent people confess, why we believe them, and what can be done to avoid the large numbers of false confessions that are taken in the United States each year…

Unsolved: The Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders (1977)
This next case is about the Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders, this is case involves children being brutally murdered, the case remains unsolved from 1977.
The Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders is an unsolved murder case that occurred on the morning of June 13, 1977 at Camp Scott in Mayes County, Oklahoma. 3 victims were girl scouts between the ages 8-10, they were raped and murdered, and their bodies had been left on a trail leading to the showers about 150 yards from their tent at summer camp. The case was classified as solved but when a local Jail escapee with a history of violence was arrested, he was acquitted when he stood trial for the crime.
What was weird and mentioned most of the articles that I read was less than 2 months before the murders happened, while on a on-site training session, a camp counselor had her belongings ransacked and…

Unmasked by Paul Holes
As one of the most anticipated true crime releases of 2022, Paul Holes’ new true crime memoir, Unmasked, is an unflinching look inside the career of one of the most well-known figures in true crime and popular culture.
Holes’ memoir recounts some of the most famous and harrowing moments in his career alongside events in his personal life that shaped him as a man and as an investigator. The text emphasizes a conflation of the personal and the professional, focusing on the ways in which each element of Holes’ life influenced the other, and the complexities that surround each. The memoir covers Holes’ career from beginning to end, and the thread that runs through the entire narrative is the story of Holes’ own connection to the Golden State Killer case and the files that Holes became interested in early in his career.
Unmasked marks what seems to be the…

A Love Affair Gone Wrong: The Murder of Antena Kropa
I enjoy reading about these old cases. Thank you!
HUMBOLDT, SASKATCHEWAN
It was Christmas night, 1929, and Antena and Stanley Kropa had been visiting at the home of their friend, J. Philip Mokolyk. Around 5:30PM, Antena took their three-year-old son home to put him to bed and Stanley followed not long after.
They were a young couple, Antena was only twenty-five, and they’d come to Canada just seven months before. Stanley worked as a railway worker and was often away with the railway gang. He was described as young and mild mannered, but unfortunately, it appears Antena was not in love with him. Just a few weeks before Christmas, she’d run off with a man named Alex Wysochan.
On December 11th, Stanley Kropa had gone to the local police chief, Denis Palmer, and appealed to him for help. He’d found out where the two lovers were staying, at a…

Review: The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist – A True Story of Injustice in the American South by Radley Balko & Tucker Carrington
★★★★
Public Affairs | 2018
Filed Under:*flips a table and screams*
Well, shit.
This book is sobering AF.
It’s robust, in-depth and densely investigated from every angle, with the authors conducting over 200 interviews and reviewing thousands of pages of court documents to deftly present to readers all the ins and outs of a corrupt system.
I’m wholly impressed with this nonfiction account of Mississippi’s completely fucking horrific justice system and two men in particular who should be punched in the throat every time they step outside.
Like, top to bottom, what the actual fuck are we doing as a society that anything in this book was allowed to happen?
I took some time after reading this before writing my review because I needed to collect my thoughts and emotions – namely rage. Now that I’m sitting here writing this, I’m realizing I’ve actually not gathered myself at all…

Professor Turi King has written a new book about DNA….
Interesting and amazing!
“….Transworld has landed a ‘myth-busting’ book about DNA by Professor Turi King, best known for her work identifying Richard III from the remains discovered under a Leicester city car park….”
If publishers are snapping up this book, titled DNA: Why Genetics Matters, (thankyou a commenter below for finding the title) which is due out from Doubleday in spring 2024, as eagerly as this, then it’s because they’re certain it will sell well. Which it will, because Professor King’s work on showing that the remains in Leicester are indeed those of Richard III, have brought her to a worldwide stage far greater than might otherwise have been the case. Not that I an belittling Professor King’s work, far from it.

After high school, Lelia moved to Montgomery, Alabama for college. However, her education got sidetracked after she met a man and got pregnant.

Maura Murray
Maura Murray went missing 18 years ago, February 9, 2004. Maura was 21 years old, a nursing student at the University of Massachusetts. But before that, in high school she was in advanced classes, tutored, top of her class, a multisport standout, and starting varsity as a freshman. Maura was known for how kind she was, her sister Julie said she was even kind when people were mean. When she finished high school she decided to go to West Point with her sister, Julie. West Point is a United States Military Academy. She didn’t fit in, Julie had caught her crying once, she even stole stuff while attending this school. That was majorly out of character for her.

Oakey Albert “Al” Kite Jr
Oakey “Al” Kite was a 53 year-old-man who lived in Aurora, Colorado. He was described by family and friends as being an all-around nice guy, very compassionate and trusting. He enjoyed spending time outdoors.
Al lived in a condo that had a basement unit complete with a bedroom, bathroom and family room that he liked to rent out for extra money. The basement unit had just one small window in the bedroom and no exit doors. The only way in and out of the house was through the front door.
His previous renters had just moved out, so Al was looking for a new occupant to come in. To advertise his basement unit, Al posted advertisements around the library of the University of Colorado Medical School, thinking a student would be interested in renting out the unit.

Orange Rapist
Murder Inc. Exclusive: Did Joseph DeAngelo murder Margaret Achterberg in Orange, California in 1983?
At 5:30 am on the morning of August 31, 1983 a 22 year old woman asleep in her home in Orange, CA was attacked by a rapist. Less than a month later 69 year old Margaret Achterberg was murdered in her Orange home. She’d been bound, gagged, beaten and raped.

Unsolved murder mystery
Screams in the night and bloodstains on the grass resulted in one of the most intense investigations in Ipswich history. The mystery remains unsolved 85 years later. I told a version of the story live on West Bremer Radio.
At around 8pm on Thursday the 16th of September 1937, Patrick Farrell of Goodna in Ipswich, Queensland, noticed a car drive along what was then the country road where he lived. It stopped at the corner a short distance from the railway bridge in a lonely part of Woogaroo Street.
After a short while, Farrell heard a woman screaming. As he approached the car, two men hurriedly jumped inside, started the engine, and swiftly drove away. When Farrell reached the spot, he saw two pools of fresh blood on the ground. He called the police.
Farrell spoke with Constable John McErlean at the Goodna…

Slipped Through the Cracks: The Cases of Harmony Montgomery and the Opelika Jane Doe
Harmony Montgomery was born June 7th 2014 to mother Crystal Sorrey and Father Adam Montgomery. The pair met when Crystal was just 20, and to hear her tell it, the relationship was volatile from the start. The two had bonded over a mutual love of partying and using drugs, and Crystal says Adam was angry and abusive towards her. But when Crystal became pregnant, she says she immediately felt that nurturing feeling and wanted to make changes in her life. She named her Harmony because it reminded her of music.

For Valentine’s Day, we here at Lost Souls of America wanted to try something a little bit different- a special episode where we share three stories with you about love gone wrong! One small thread that all of these cases have in common is that the family and loved ones of the victims all seem to look back and point out the red flags in these relationships. Behaviors that were controlling, possessive, secretive, manipulative, and just plain twisted. In some cases they expressed concern, but no one was ever fully able to pull these couples apart before it had deadly consequences.

Angel of the Meadow – a Manchester mystery

On January 25th 2010, while clearing the site of a former car park prior to the construction of the Co-operative Group’s new headquarters close to Angel Meadow park, excavation workers discovered the skeletal remains of a female wrapped in sections of blue carpet and squeezed into a gap between a fence and a wall. The police were called to the scene and the site was immediately cordoned off while they conducted their initial investigations and removed the remains.

Koerner focuses on the “Golden Age of Aircraft Hijacking” and on a peculiar case of an airplane hijacking operation carried out by Vietnam veteran William Roger Holder and his girlfriend Cathy Kerkow in 1972.

It was Sunday, and much like every other Sunday, Mrs. Annie Dutcheshen got her children ready and took them to visit her parents, Annie and Metro Zurawell, on their farm about five and a half miles south of Veregin, Saskatchewan.
A gruesome sight awaited them. The farmyard was eerily quiet on their arrival and when Mrs. Dutcheshen entered the small farmhouse she found her parents dead, lying on the floor in the kitchen.

Why Is There An Increase In Cases Of Missing Persons?
Hey Millenial News Readers ever heard of summary execution? Also known as extrajudicial killing in which a person is accused of a crime and immediately killed without the benefit of a full fair trial?
To begin with let us have a conversation about 34 missing persons and counting in 2021. “These people are mostly suspected terrorists and criminals”, human rights group says. Their disappearance/’murder’ has been linked to security agencies.
In most of these missing person cases, police officers are involved; witnesses claim that personnel who present themselves as police officers dressed in civilian clothing park their personal vehicles at the residence/work place where they pick the suspects who end up as missing persons. When their families try to search for them around all police stations, they confirm that they have not booked any of the alleged arrested persons.
Therefore, they are rendered as missing persons. Days turn to months…

The Beatle Bandit by Nate Hendley
Nate Hendley’s The Beatle Bandit: A Serial Bank Robber’s Deadly Heist, A Cross Country Manhunt, and the Insanity Plea that Shook the Nation (Dundurn Press, 2021) is a sad and shocking tale about Matthew Kerry Smith, a twenty-four year old man who robbed a bank in North York, Ontario in 1964 while wearing a Beatle wig. During his mad dash from the bank, Smith was confronted by bank patron Jack Blanc. The two exchanged fire and Blanc was killed. This murder and robbery prompted the largest manhunt in Toronto Metropolitan Police history.
Hendley’s text does an excellent job of not only outlining Smith’s case, trial, and the aftereffects of both, but also does a great job of giving his reader a sense of what life was like in 1960s Toronto. At the beginning of his text, he outlines what life was like in Canada both socially and politically. I really…

A Very Fatal Murder: An Abundance of ‘Very’
By Hayden Gnat and Isabelle Odeh
The true crime genre proudly represents true tales of crime that give a glimpse into real stories, however The Onion’s “A Very Fatal Murder” is all about comedy and satire and less about the truth. In the course of seven episodes, totaling roughly an hour and fifteen minutes, The Onion plays on the genre’s expectations and stereotypes in a fake murder case to provide commentary on the effect true crime has had on us as viewers. Through these episodes, we see a parody of a young girl’s brutal murder through an abundance of jokes and ad placements, allowing for a viewer to draw parallels between the real and the fake. The host, David Pascall, takes the stereotypical true crime genre and turns it into a big joke as he describes ways in which to create the perfect murder.

10 Cold Cases of Missing People in National Parks
A very interesting read here
byMegan Bricksfact checked byDarci Heikkinen
The National Park Service in the United States preserves untouched natural beauty. The Grand Canyon, for example, is considered one of the Modern Natural Wonders of the World. Waterfalls, geysers, rushing rivers, and still lakes, along with the plentiful wildlife and serenity of nature, are just some of the breathtaking attractions of these paths. There is another feature to these parks, however, and that is danger.
The obvious dangers include those rushing rivers and waterfalls leading to drownings, those steep drop-offs leading to injury and loss of life, and those endless trails leaving people lost in remote, confusing, and sometimes dangerous terrain. In the majority of cases, people are found, but unfortunately, in some cases, only the remains are found. In other cases, the only thing found is a mystery. There are currently 24 cold cases of missing persons listed by the…

Family of Maura Murray encourages public not to interfere with investigation into human bone fragments found in NH
The family of Maura Murray, a woman who disappeared back in 2004, have reached out to law enforcement after human bone fragments were recently discovered in the area of a popular ski resort in Lincoln, New Hampshire.
The human bone fragments were found in the area of Loon Mountain during a recent construction project according to New Hampshire State Police.
An investigation remains ongoing and diagnostic testing on the bone fragments is pending, which will help determine the historical nature, age, and possible sex of the fragments.
No additional information has been made available but state police say there is no reason to believe there is a threat to the public.
Murray’s sister, Julie, released a statement that read in part, “My family is aware of the recent discovery of bone fragments near Loon Mountain and we ask that the public not interfere with the investigation.”
Murray was last seen on Feb. 9, 2004 after crashing her car in Haverhill, N.H.
“If these bone fragments belong to a human, they deserve to be correctly identified, their relatives properly notified, and cause of death determined,” Julie Murray continued. “I have reached out to law enforcement for additional details and am awaiting their response.”
The Connecticut River Valley Killer
From 1978 to 1988, seven murders occurred along the border between Vermont and New Hampshire, Interstate 91. The case has gone cold in the decades since the murders ended, the victims likely to never receive justice. The man most brought up as a suspect has since died, having died by suicide in Florida. While the one living victim has identified this man as likely being her attacker, his DNA was never been tested against the DNA collected from the victims and crime scenes (Campbell).
The possibility of a serial killer came to light after three women disappeared form Claremont, NH in the 1980s. Their remains would be found in a forest outside Kellyville, NH, but another victim had already been attacked by the time they were found. The discovery of the missing women’s remains, which were determined to have died from stab wounds, and the fourth victim stabbed in her home, investigators began to look back at earlier cases that were similar (“The Story Of This Unsolved Series Of Murders In New Hampshire Is Truly Chilling”). It wasn’t long before more cases were connected.
On October 24, 1978, Cathy Millican, 26-years old and from Sunapee, NH, was taking photographss at the Chandler Brook Wetland Preserve, specifically of birds. Witnesses confirmed seeing her that day, but she never made it home. A day later, on October 25th, her remains were found near where she had last been seen. The second known victim, Mary Critchley, 37, was found on August 9, 1981 in Unity, NH. She had disappeared while hitchhiking from the Boston area around I-91 to Waterbury, VT two weeks earlier. The University of Vermont student was found on Stage Coach Road in Claremont, NH (Campbell)(Fuqua) (“The Story Of This Unsolved Series Of Murders In New Hampshire Is Truly Chilling”).
Almost three years later, on May 30, 1984, 16-year old Bernice Courtemanche went missing from West Claremont, NH. The young nurse’s aid had been heading to her boyfriend’s house at the time she disappeared. Her remains would be found nearly two years later, April 9, 1986, in Kellyville, NH. Her remains were found only a thousand yards from the remains of fourth victim, Ellen Fried. Fried disappeared in July 20, 1984, after phoning her sister on a payphone. The payphone was in West Claremont, NH, the same town Courtemanche disappeared from. Fried had left her job at the Valley Regional Hospital, where she was a nurse, and stopped at the payphone to make her call. The two talked for nearly an hour, during which time she told her sister a car was driving back and forth. The action made her nervous and she asked her sister to stay on the phone while she started her car, but this precaution would be for naught. The next day, she never showed up for work and her car was found later that same day on Jarvis Road, abandoned. Jarvis Road was only a short few miles from the convenience store she had made her phone call from. On September 19, 1985, her remains were recovered from the Sugar River banks near Kellyville. While most of the victims are known to have died from stab wounds, Fried’s cause of death remains unknown (Campbell)(Fuqua) (“The Story Of This Unsolved Series Of Murders In New Hampshire Is Truly Chilling”).
Eva Marie Morse was hitchhiking home on July 10, 1985, when she disappeared just as the four previous victims had. She had been on Router 12, between Claremont and Charlestown, NH, at the time. Morse was a single mother at the time she disappeared, and her family would wait almost a year before her remains were finally found. On April 25, 1986, loggers stumbled upon her remains a mere 500 feet from the spot Critchley’s remains were recovered from. In January of 1987, Barbara Agnew, 36, was enjoying a day out skiing in Stratton, VT, when she disappeared. 10 miles from her home, her green BMW was found abandoned at a northbound I-91 rest stop at Hartford, VT the evening she disappeared. Blood was found on the steering wheel. Her remains were recovered on March 28, 1987, well-preserved and frozen from the cold. She was found still wearing her ski jacket, with a lift sticker still on it, by an apple tree in Hartford, VT. Chillingly, she was surrounded by snow still black with her blood. Her cause of death was reportedly repeated stabbing to her head (Campbell)(Fuqua) (“The Story Of This Unsolved Series Of Murders In New Hampshire Is Truly Chilling”).
There are two victims that stand out amongst the rest, one due to the change in pattern, the other because she survived her encounter. Lynda Moore was stabbed in her home in Saxtons River, VT, a change from the Connecticut River Valley Killer’s usual ambush method. The murder was considered part of a home invasion in April of 1986, but was linked to the serial killings based on location, her home was near I-91, nature of the attack, and the description of her killer. Moore was found by her husband and had been stabbed a staggering 40 times. Neighbors came forward, having seen her that morning, and were able to give a description of a man that had been lingering in their neighborhood that day. The man was described as being stocky and dark haired, wearing glasses and was notably clean shaven. Witnesses believed he was between 20 and 25 and was carrying a blue backpack around (Campbell)(Fuqua) (“The Story Of This Unsolved Series Of Murders In New Hampshire Is Truly Chilling”).
Jane Boroski, 23, was seven months pregnant on April 6, 1988, when she was heading home from the county fair of Keene, NH. On her way, she pulled over into a closed convenience store in Winchester, NH to get a drink from the vending machine there. She returned to her car to drink her soda, only for a man to appear at her car door and ask if the payphone was working. She didn’t even get time to answer before the man had opened her car door and dragged her from the car, beginning to slash at her with a knife. During the attack, he was reportedly accusing her of harming his girlfriend, to which she tried to explain that she didn’t know who his girlfriend was. At one point, Boroski was able to get away, only to be caught again. When she seemed to have given up the fight, her attacker seemingly lost interest and left. Boroski, despite her injuries, managed to get back into her car and drive away to a friend’s house for help. Eerily, Boroski realized during her drive that her attacker was in the car in front of her, and had paused to watch as her friends helped her when she arrived at their home. She had been stabbed a total 27 times. Her injuries were extensive, including lung collapse and kidney damage, but she and her baby both survived (Campbell)(Fuqua) (“The Story Of This Unsolved Series Of Murders In New Hampshire Is Truly Chilling”).
During the investigation into the killings, John Philpin, criminal psychologist, was called in to make a profile of the killer. He visited the crime scenes and determined that the areas had been determined preemptively by the killer, possibly meant to instill fear into his victims. According to his profile, the killer was detail oriented and would have a routine, was prone to outbursts of rage, would likely have his most significant relationship with his mother, had an abusive or absent father, which could be what he was recreating in his attacks, a history of voyeurism, and likely spent a lot of time on the road where driving nearly worked as hypnosis. While Philpin was working on his profile, Boroski agreed to undergo hypnosis. Under hypnosis, Boroski spoke about how calm and collected her attacker seemed during the attack and described the car, which she described as being a ’75-’85 Jeep Wagoneer with a license plate containing the numbers “662.” A search of this information brought up 350 possible matches (Fuqua).
One suspect is consistently brought up by people. Michael Nicholaou was a Vietnam veteran, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and known to have been involved in other crimes. He murdered his ex-wife and daughter and was the main suspect in the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend (Campbell). Nicholaou met his ex-wife, Michelle Ashley, while living in Virginia. Soon the two would be married in Holyoke, MA and had two children. Eventually the marriage began to fall apart, as sometimes happens, and Michelle took their children and fled. Nicholaou continued to harass her family until she relented and returned to him. Unfortunately, this would result in the ending of her life. When her family hadn’t heard from her for several weeks, her mother went to find them in December 1988. The apartment appeared abandoned, smelling of rotten food and items Michelle used on a regular basis left lying around. Despite the clear appearance of the apartment, she waited some time in hopes that her daughter and grandchildren would return. When they didn’t, she filed a missing persons report on them. Eventually, in 2001, a neighbor’s daughter-in-law working as a private investigator began to work on the case. She found Nicholaou in Georgia and contacted him to ask about his missing wife and children. While he initially claimed her didn’t know Michelle, he changed his story later, claiming she had run off with a drug dealer. The private investigator, Lynn-Marie Carty, was able to get into contact with Nicholaou’s son, Nick, who told her the traumatizing story of his life (Fuqua).
In December of 2005, Nicholaou was living with a new wife, Aileen, and her daughter, Terrin. Aileen fled with her daughter to her sister’s home in Florida after Nicholaou broke her shoulder, but Nicholaou found them shortly after. Aileen’s sister called police and met them in her driveway, explaining that her brother-in-law was inside with her sister and that the situation was dire. Unfortunately, shortly after their arrival and attempts to enter the home, gunshots fired out and inside they found Nicholaou and Aileen dead and Terrin injured. Despite attempts to save her, Terrin would later die from her injuries. The incident was deemed a murder-suicide. Upon further investigation, Carty learned that, like the victims of the Connecticut River Valley Killer, Nicholaou’s missing ex-wife, Michelle, had also been a nurse (Fuqua). When shown a photograph of Nicholaou later, Boroski identified him as the man that attacked her (Campbell).
In 1997, Gary Westover made a startling confession. Westover had been paralyzed in a car accident and was prone to nightmares that woke him up at night. One of these nights in fall of 1997, he confessed to a cousin that he believed he was going to hell. He believed that, at 47, he was dying and called for his Uncle Howard. His uncle was Howard Minnon, who had been a sheriff’s deputy in Grafton County, NH, during his life, though was retired by this time. Westover told his uncle that in his younger days, in 1978, some of his friends had arrived for a night out and insisted he join them, loading his wheelchair into their car. According to his confession, his friends picked up a woman that night and dumped her butchered body off on a back road after killing her. Westover gave the names of the three friends and Minnon called local authorities, but his information was basically ignored. This was understandably frustrating to the retired deputy, who passed away in 2006. Westover passed in 1998, taking what he knew with him. It is thought that the woman Westover claimed to have killed, along with his friends, was Barbara Agnew (Montgomry).
Over 40 years later, the cases of the Connecticut River Valley Killer officially remain unsolved. Despite DNA evidence having been collected from some of the victims, DNA that could be tested against the suspects, no testing has been done. It is possible that the DNA will never be tested, meaning the chances of the cases ever being solved are incredibly low. For now, we only have speculation about suspects and information gathered from the living victims and witnesses.
