My best friend Stormy is Joyces adopted sister and their family went through so much. Her mother Pam had to raise the rest of her kids in the same town where this man murdered her daughter and lived in the same town too right up until his arrest. I am just so happy Pam was able to find justice for Joyce, finally.

    Her brother killed her. It’s sad he wasn’t convicted (and thus considered unsolved) but that’s just the truth of the matter and all evidence points to this. Sadly, they can’t use DNA cause he lived there too so it would’ve been everywhere. Authorities just can’t *prove* it but it’s so clear that he did it. Casey Anthony wasn’t found guilty either but… we all know she did it. OJ wasn’t convicted despite DNA evidence because it wasn’t trusted or understood by the public (therefore, the jury) yet. It’s just one of those things. Sometimes people get away with things they clearly did. 😢

    Ilene Beth Mischeloff (not certain of the spelling), 13 year old girl who disappeared from Dublin CA in 1989 from the local ice rink. Haven't heard of it being solved, or anything being found. It's a case that has stuck with me for the past 30+ years bc my friend & I were walking about the town after we got out of school; we were trying to decide where to stop for lunch.. the next day at school, we were both a bit freaked out, asking ourselves & one another if we'd seen _anything_ because that poor girl's photo was all over the television. I still spot her missing posters occasionally.. I'm just shattered if there hasn't been any developments in her case. Were the West Memphis Arkansas triple murders ever truly solved? Steven Edward Branch, Christopher Mark Byers & James Michael Moore deserve justice as well. Also, JonBenet Ramsey. Gone but never forgotten, sweet children. 💔💔💔💔🥀🥀🥀🥀

Can think of a few I'd love to see solved off the top of my head.
