Patricia Newsom was murdered in August 1975. On August 16, 1975, a truck driver was making a delivery when he noticed something in the drainage ditch. It was a long object wrapped in a canvas tarp and held closed by a coaxial cable. The driver suspected it was a body and called the police. A detective arrived, cut a small hole in the tarp, and saw a human leg. The body was taken to the medical examiner’s office. It was bloated and showed signs of decomposition. Once the tarp was removed, it revealed a young woman’s body, fully nude, with no possessions or identification. Her head was wrapped in a towel and covered with a plastic trash bag and her mouth was stuffed with a cloth gag. Her hands were bound together behind her back with wire and her legs were similarly tied together at the ankles. Her death was ruled a homicide from asphyxia by smothering. Police had no idea who she was. Police were able to get good fingerprints. With a description, dental records, fingerprints, and a blood type, police believed they would identify her quickly. They created a composite sketch which was published in the local papers and circulated. Investigators went to motels and asked transient people whether they recognized a sketch of the woman. Weeks turned into months, and the town was saddled with the responsibility of handling her body. They buried her in an unmarked grave as "Jane Doe" in Hamden, Connecticut. Then, she faded from public view for twenty years. In May 1994, police revisited the case. The police chief explained a potential connection to a known transgender killer named Samantha Glenner (formerly Glen Robert Askeborn) and a few other unsolved murders. Police saw enough coincidences in the crimes to interview Glenner about their Jane Doe, but it went nowhere. In 2020, officers Joseph Murgo and David Emerman were both promoted to Captain, and determined to restore the identity of the 1975 Jane Doe case. With the rise of genetic genealogy, they felt confident. The medical examiner had kept a pubic bone but they were unable to recover any DNA from it. Murgo and Emerman needed to find her body. By 2022, they realized that the cemetery in which she was buried was no longer professionally managed, and there were no records. They only knew she had been buried in a metal Ziegler casket. It took multiple trips to the cemetery and several failed attempts before they located the casket with a ground penetrating radar device. When they opened the lid, there was an autopsy sheet covering the body. The lab quickly developed a full DNA profile of their Jane Doe and turned it over to Identifinders for the genealogical work to begin. Days later, Jane Doe was identified as Patricia Newsom. They contacted Patricia's sister, Maryann, to break the news. In April 2023, a press conference was held to announce Patricia's identity. Afterwards, police returned to their files to see if knowing Patricia’s identity would change their understanding of the case. They knew that Patricia had been at a boarding school, disappeared, and had not been heard from for 2-3 years before her body was found. But aside from that, they had no real leads on who may have killed her. Patricia had never been reported missing, largely because her mother died when she was 11 years old, and her father and his new wife had limited contact with her. Patricia's body was exhumed a second time and removed from the sheet-metal casket. She was cremated and reburied with her mother in October 2023. Her killer was never found. Patricia was 18 years old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

Gloria Bozzelli was murdered on April 9, 1953. On the evening of April 8, 1953, Gloria and her father Peter were watching television. When Peter awoke the next morning, he went to the kitchen expecting to find Gloria making coffee. She wasn't there. Peter got in touch with two of his grown sons, then sent one of them to the home of Gloria's boyfriend, Vincent Manzo. Vincent said he had not seen her since dropping her off at home after a date the day prior. Peter notified the police about Gloria's disappearance, and told them she had been keeping house for him since his wife died in 1951. On April 24, 1953, Gloria was found on the bank of an abandoned canal called Iron Ore Creek. Her partially-clothed body was found in an Army duffel bag with her knees pressed against her chest. She had been strangled to death with a nylon stocking that was knotted tightly around her neck. Police said that Gloria had been beaten viciously before her death. Her left eye was swollen and discolored and her upper lip was bruised. When the duffel bag was sent to the state police laboratory, its contents were examined for clues. Gloria's ballerina skirt had been removed and stuffed into the bag with her body. She had been wearing a blue blouse and underwear, but no shoes. The only thing in the bag with any identification was a school ring on Gloria's finger, bearing the initials VJM, which belonged to her boyfriend. Police questioned Vincent Manzo again, and he told them the same thing - that he had not seen Gloria since the day prior to her disappearance. Just days later, while interviewing with police about his daughter's disappearance and murder, Peter Bozzelli broke down and admitted to killing her. Bozzelli stated that he had been out to dinner with Gloria and they returned home about 9:30pm. Then they sat in the living room and talked. At some point, he questioned Gloria about $600 in savings that had gone missing from a drawer in his bedroom. Her reply angered him, and they got into a violent fight before he beat her and then strangled her to death with one of her own stockings. Bozzelli said he took Gloria's body down to the basement and stuffed it into the olive green Army bag they had been using for laundry. He dragged the duffel bag through a side door and placed it into his 1951 Pontiac, then drove into another state to dispose of it at the creek. Once he completed his confession, Bozzelli was arrested for Gloria's murder. On October 7, 1953, he pleaded not guilty to the charges. Less than three weeks later, he was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. During the short trial, it was revealed that Gloria was still alive, making noise and trying to struggle, as Bozzelli dragged her down to the basement. "I thought she'd passed out," he said. "Her tongue came out a little. I picked up a bag, It might have been a laundry bag. I tried wrapping her up but I couldn't do it. So I put her in the bag." As Bozzelli was being led out of the courtroom, Gloria's boyfriend Vincent Manzo lunged at him and began swinging. On November 3, 1954, Bozzelli died in Eastern State Penitentiary from broncho-pneumonia after having been on a hunger strike for three weeks. Gloria was 24 years old. She is buried alongside her mother in this unmarked grave next to other family members. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

Rosalie Crothers-Shockley was murdered on February 12, 2018. On February 10, 2018, police responded to a call about an infant in cardiac arrest. Paramedics found Rosalie in critical condition and transported her to the hospital. She died two days later. While at the hospital, investigators said Rosalie was found to have both chronic and acute intracranial hemorrhages and extensive bilateral retinal hemorrhages, meaning she was bleeding from the brain and eyes. The injuries were consistent with abusive head trauma, caused by both recent and ongoing abuse, such as shaking. Rosalie was in the sole care of her father, Zion Isaiah Shockley. After being investigated, Shockley initially denied involvement, but later admitted that he accidentally dropped and shook Rosalie, on multiple occasions, and inflicted the injuries that caused her death. According to Shockley, he had taken Rosalie to an upstairs bedroom as the downstairs was being cleaned. He began playing a video game called “Call of Duty,” with Rosalie on a bed nearby. At some point, Shockley’s opponent in the game made a disparaging comment about his skills, which upset Shockley, who had a below-average IQ of 61. In a fit of rage, Shockley picked Rosalie up, tossed her in the air multiple times without catching her, and then shook her violently for about one minute. He then left the room to get some water, and when he returned he noticed Rosalie was not breathing. Despite Rosalie's condition, Shockley did nothing to help her. Emergency responders were not called until Shockley's grandfather entered the room and saw Rosalie. Shockley was charged with murder and related offenses. He was held without bail. At trial, Rosalie's mother, Jacqueline Marie Baldwin, said to Shockley, “What you did is unforgivable.” “The pain you caused is unbearable. You robbed a part of my entire life from me. I don’t know how you can live with yourself. You were my best friend at one point, but now you are a monster to me.” Additionally, Rosalie’s grandmother, Shelly Keehn, told Shockley what it was like to have her granddaughter killed at such a young age. "We'll never see her take her first steps, or say her first words, Keehn said. “She didn’t even have her first birthday.” Shockley was found guilty of third-degree murder. He was sentenced to 31-62 years in prison. He also pleaded guilty to counts of aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child under the age of 13. Rosalie was 5 months old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

Elmer Schroeder was murdered on September 21, 1953. The day prior, Elmer's relatives and friends kept phoning him at his apartment but got no response. The building's manager was alerted. On September 22, 1953, police were called, and the manager used a passkey to enter the apartment. They found all the lights on and the apartment “neatly ransacked.” Cords had been cut from Venetian blinds in the apartment’s living room, bedroom, and bathroom. In the bedroom, they found Elmer's bludgeoned body, face up to the bed. His hands were bound behind his back. His feet, which were crossed at the ankles, had a cord tied around them; the cord was secured under the bed. Tied extremely tight around Elmer's neck was another cord attached to the bed’s headboard. Two blows, one to the top of the head, the other to the left temple, which looked to have been inflicted with brass knuckles, had crushed his skull. There was a sock stuffed into Elmer’s mouth, held in place by a torn bath towel tied around his face. He had been dead for at least 24 hours. Reports emphasized that Elmer was unmarried, and used coded language to suggest he was a gay man whose "sinful lifestyle" had caught up to him. Elmer was last seen alive around midnight on Saturday, September 19, 1953, at a downtown bar, accompanied by another man. A day later, James Clifford Beardsmore was picked up, questioned for eight hours, then released by the police. Beardsmore told police he had met Elmer at a party that summer. When Elmer became ill in July, he suggested that Beardsmore move in with him until he recovered. On October 10, 1953, police issued a national alert naming Basil Kingsley Beck, an escaped convict, as the No. 1 suspect in Elmer’s murder. The pair was last seen together three days before the murder. On March 1, 1954, Beck was placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List. Two days later, he was arrested in California, where he had been working at an auto supply shop under an assumed name. When questioned about Elmer's murder, Beck said he had been in the area but had never heard of Elmer. Police soon latched onto another suspect named Francis Ballem, who had recently been arrested for another murder. Police searched for a link between Ballem and Elmer but had no success. Two years later, police named Thomas C. Wetling Jr. as a new suspect. Wetling had been implicated in Elmer’s murder by a person who was being questioned by the FBI in an unrelated investigation. According to the informant, Wetling and Elmer knew each other, and after a night of drinking, Wetling accompanied Elmer to his apartment where they argued before Wetling killed him. Detectives questioned Wetling and noted he bore a striking resemblance to the previous suspect, Basil Kingsley Beck. It was soon revealed the informant was James Clifford Beardsmore, who had been questioned and released by police just after the murder. On February 18, 1956, Wetling was indicted for murder. During the trial, Beardsmore testified he had loaned Wetling a suit, the pants of which he later found in a closet “covered with blood.” He also stated that Wetling had confessed to murdering Elmer. The prosecution had no physical evidence against Wetling. Wetling denied meeting or knowing Elmer and also denied he had ever told Beardsmore he had killed him. On September 25, 1957, the jury declared Wetling not guilty. After he was acquitted, Wetling disappeared from the area, leaving behind a wife and two young children. No one was ever convicted for Elmer's murder. He was 55 years old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

Bethann Pyfer was murdered on February 27, 1986. She was last seen alive that night. Four days later, on March 3, 1986, her body was found under beer cans and leaves near the edge of a 50-foot embankment in a wooded area of a cemetery. Her bloodstained jacket was found hanging on a bush. She had been strangled, stabbed in the chest, and "left to rot," according to police. Bethann was 7 1/2 months pregnant. The autopsy showed she was carrying a baby girl just under seven pounds. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood, talking to residents and stopping delivery drivers and cabs to ask if they had seen or heard anything. Four years later in April 1990, police charged Bethann's half-brother, Arthur Pyfer, with her murder. He was arraigned on charges of criminal homicide, murder, aggravated assault, and possessing an instrument of crime. Pyfer's arrest came after a bloody "Sir Lawrence" knife was found by children playing near the cemetery, combined with a witness statement. The knife contained traces of human blood the same type as Bethann's, and the stab wound on her body was consistent with the blade. The witness, Candida Salach, told police that Pyfer admitted to "cutting" his sister because he was jealous she wasn't carrying his child. Salach also said that Pyfer threatened to kill her if she told anyone. In an interview with police, Pyfer admitted to owning the knife but denied killing Bethann. When the trial began in February 1991, Assistant DA William Toal conceded that most of his evidence against Pyfer was circumstantial. Toal stated that Pyfer voluntarily went to the police on the day Bethann was found and blamed the murder on the father of her unborn child, Dean Cahill. A prosecution witness testified that the last time anyone saw Bethann alive, Pyfer was pushing her into a yellow car behind Cahill's house. Pyfer's attorney, Joseph Grimes, presented a letter that Candida Salach had written to Pyfer on March 17, 1987, more than a year after Salach alleged that Pyfer had confessed to her. The letter concluded with Salach writing, "Love ya," followed by "P.S. Me and Lafferty finally broke up." Grimes noted that the letter's tone was "completely contradictory" to the prosecution's contention that Pyfer confessed to Salach and then threatened to kill her if she told anyone. Throughout the seven day trial, the witness stand had been a stage for tales of incest, drug use, murder, and a knifing by a tattooed bald man. Grimes finally suggested another theory: that a large bald man known to be an enforcer for the Pagan motorcycle gang went to an apartment shared by Bethann and Arthur Pyfer. The man, described as "really mad," was said to have cut Arthur's arms as he lay on the couch. Grimes implied that Bethann had been killed by the man as she tried to avenge the attack on her half-brother. On February 16, 1991, after three days of deliberations, the jury acquitted Arthur Pyfer of killing Bethann. Although police believed that more than one person had been involved in Bethann's murder, they never arrested anyone aside from Pyfer. Bethann's murder has never been solved. She was 17 years old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

Patricia McDermott was murdered on May 17, 2005. That morning, just before dawn at around 4:45am, Patricia had gotten off a bus and was walking to work. Out of nowhere, a man who had been walking behind Patricia ran up and shot her point blank in the back of the head with a .380 pistol. The man then took off, ran through a parking lot and quickly disappeared. Police reviewed surveillance footage and noted the man was wearing a light jacket and a baseball hat. They immediately ruled out robbery as a motive, since the man did not appear to speak with Patricia at all. Investigators found the bullet that killed Patricia, but said it would do no good without a suspect or the murder weapon. They could not establish a motive, but were working on the theory that Patricia was specifically targeted instead of being a random victim. It was discovered that the killer had been on the bus with Patricia. Police released a sketch of a "person of interest" but stopped short of calling him a suspect. After collecting CCTV footage from the other businesses in the area, detectives observed Patricia getting off the bus, followed by the man who seemed to be stalking her. They eventually came across a recording that showed the killer running through the parking lot. It allowed them to map out his escape route. Even with further analysis, they were still unable to determine who he was, so they turned to the FBI and NFL Films for assistance. Lastly, police released the footage publicly with the hope that somebody would recognize and identify the man. The tactic generated hundreds of tips, one of them from an employee of a bus company who identified the man as Juan Covington, a subcontractor at the hospital where Patricia worked as an x-ray technician. Police reviewed security footage from the hospital's cameras and found that Covington had worn the exact same clothing as the man who had murdered Patricia. Covington was arrested and charged with murder. In the subsequent interrogations, he admitted full responsibility, claiming that he believed Patricia was poisoning him with x-rays, and that he decided to kill her because nobody would believe him. Covington then confessed to killing two other people and severely wounding two more. A ballistic examination concluded that the victims had been shot with guns owned by Covington, thus confirming him as a serial killer. Covington is also considered a suspect in at least two other crimes: the 1997 disappearance of 24-year-old Brenwanda Smith and the 2004 cold case murder of 25-year-old Ann Yuille. While he admitted responsibility for the murders, Covington initially refused to plead guilty, claiming that he was "the chosen one" and he believed his victims to be devils who were trying to harm him. At trial, his attorney noted Covington's history of mental illness and a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia in an effort to spare him the death penalty. In the end, Covington pleaded guilty and was given three life terms without parole for the murders plus two 20-to-40-year imprisonment sentences for the attempted murders. He was also ordered to undergo psychiatric counseling before he was eventually transferred to State Correctional Institution – Rockview, where he remains to this day. Patricia left behind a husband and two children. She was 48 years old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

Alana MacNeil was murdered on April 19, 2005. That afternoon, Alana’s estranged stepfather, Thomas Conroy, made an unannounced visit to their home. When Alana refused to unlock the door, Conroy shot through the lock. Alana ran as Conroy fired nearly a dozen times throughout the home, shooting wildly as he looked for her. Conroy found Alana hiding in a basement bedroom and shot her twice in the head with a sawed-off shotgun. As a swarm of cops and a SWAT team surrounded the home, Conroy turned the gun on himself and took his own life. Conroy's rampage and the sound of Alana screaming was heard by teachers, students, and parents at the high school across the street where Alana was a student. Police said that Conroy’s rage was centered on his ex-wife, Alana’s mother, Caroline Conroy, who was not home at the time. The couple shared a 2-year-old daughter, who was away with a babysitter. They also said the couple had recently separated, and Conroy was living with relatives. He had been under a court order to have no contact with his wife. Police noted that Conroy and Caroline had been in a heated argument the day before the murder, which prompted his surprise visit to the home. Conroy was a disbarred lawyer who had served time in federal prison for insurance fraud in the 1990s. Alana's funeral was attended by 600 people, including four busloads of students from her school. She was 15 years old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

John Crawford was murdered on August 19, 1985. On August 20, 1985, officer Lawrence Richards was on patrol when he saw smoke coming from a nearby apartment at around 2:20am. Richards ran into the apartment building to alert the residents. He made several attempts to enter the second-floor apartment but was forced back by heavy smoke. When Richards was finally able to enter, he found John's body on the floor, still in his robe as though he was preparing for bed. He had been beaten with a blunt instrument, strangled with an electrical cord, and cut in several places. Firefighters were able to control the blaze in 15 minutes and John's body was removed. The Chief of Police said it was evident that the fire had been deliberately set to cover up the murder. There were no suspects and no motive could be determined. Investigators discovered that John and a female friend had gone to a cocktail party, and later a bar. After leaving the bar at about 11pm, they flagged down a cab. The cab driver dropped the woman at her home, and then headed to John's apartment. Police spent a lot of time with numerous cab companies in an attempt to track down the driver. Because the cab was not dispatched to the bar, but rather flagged down, it was nearly impossible to trace. The consensus was that John had known his killer in some way because there had been no forceable entry to the apartment. They also believed that the cab driver could have noticed something unusual upon dropping him off. In searching the apartment building, investigators noticed that the smoke detector had been pulled out of the basement, possibly to delay fire personnel. Eventually, local police sent all of the files on the case, as well as background information on John, to the FBI. They were looking for a profile of the crime and intel on the type of person who would be a likely suspect. However, it has been 40 years and there are still no answers. Police still believe the cab driver may hold the key to the mystery. John's murder has never been solved. He was 36 years old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

Cara Quinn was murdered on February 14, 1980. That morning, Cara was running unusually late for school and didn’t leave her house until 9:30am. Her commute to school required her to walk for about two miles on a secluded road. She was never seen alive again. Once it was evident that Cara was missing, the authorities were notified, and a massive search of the area ensued. Cara’s friends were interviewed by police and told them that she was a frequent hitchhiker. After two weeks, Boy Scouts on their way to skate on a pond found Cara’s body in a wooded area about 20 miles from her home. She was partially frozen, fully clothed and lying face down on the ground, with a canvas bag beside her containing some schoolbooks. Initially, police could find no specific injuries or marks on her to suggest she was a victim of foul play, aside from a small neck wound that they theorized had been caused by an animal. Freezing conditions interfered with the collection of physical evidence and Cara’s body was not removed until after midnight. When the coroner was able to perform a more thorough exam, he found that Cara had been shot in the head and neck with a handgun at close range. Two bullets were later found in the ground beneath where Cara’s body was discovered. Police issued an appeal to the public for information and began referring to Cara’s death as an execution-style murder. Four months passed before police got a break. Based on evidence and a few tips, they arrested a man named Martin Wayne Shifflett at gunpoint and charged him with Cara’s murder. At the time of his arrest, he was wanted in four other states on a variety of charges and was on parole from a Connecticut prison for robbery. Shifflett told police that he was driving when he picked Cara up hitchhiking. Then he tied her hands behind her back and sexually assaulted her in the car. After the assault, Shifflett said he forced Cara into the woods and made her lie face down on the ground, then shot her twice in the back of the head with a .38-caliber handgun. Shifflett said he then drove to a store, bought a Valentine’s Day card and candy for his wife, and went home. The following day, Shifflett said he used a blow torch to melt the gun. After he was indicted by a grand jury, Shifflett pleaded not guilty to Cara’s murder. Nearly a year and a half later, Shifflett was found guilty of murder in November 1981, despite continually denying involvement. On December 11, 1981, Judge JoAnne Kulawicz looked directly at Shifflett and told him she would show him no mercy because he had shown none to Cara. She sentenced him to 25 years to life. Cara was 16 years old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #murder #murdervictim #murdervictims #murdervictimsawareness #unsolved #unsolvedcases #unsolvedcasefiles #unsolvedcrime #unsolvedcrimes #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok

The fundraiser for Bethann Pyfer and her baby is live! Since her murder in 1986, Bethann has rested in an unmarked grave. She was 7 1/2 months pregnant with a baby girl. The most common reason for an unmarked grave is the cost. We spoke to the cemetery and got permission to mark Bethann's grave. The cost for a 2ft x 1ft flat marker where Bethann is buried is $2500. That includes engraving, two standard emblems, the foundation, shipping to the cemetery, and installation. For 39 years, Bethann and her baby have been virtually forgotten. The murder itself was not widely reported, and no one has ever been held accountable. We want to give Bethann and her baby the dignity they were denied. If you would like to help us, please click the link in my bio to donate! Every donor will be recognized in a special video once Bethann's stone has been installed.
