FREEZER BODY MAY BE MISSING KITTY WARDWELL: COPS

KILLER?
THE body of a Maine woman missing for almost 30 years may have been found in a freezer belonging to her ex-boyfriend, cops say. 
Kitty Wardwell was reported missing by her on-again, off again boyfriend, Frank Julian, back in July 1983 and was never seen again. 
But after he died earlier this month, aged 80, relatives were clearing out his storage unit when they came across human remains in an unplugged freezer at a storage unit registered to him.

COPS ARREST SHAWN MARSH FOR 1983 MURDER

ROBBER?
TIME and technology finally provided the key to unlocking a cold blooded murder almost three decades old.
Cops say that fingerprint analysis has finally linked Shawn Marsh to the brutal 1983 killing of Rodney Wyman, 29, and his hotel roommate.
They added that they were settling in for the night when one of them heard a noise in the back of the bedroom.
When Wyman approached the door, a gunman flung it open and shot him through the heart.
As Wyman staggered across the room and out of the front door, Marsh threw the roommate and screamed: "Where's the money," before kicking him in the neck and head.

LETTER REOPENS 1983 JO-ANNE PEDERSON MYSTERY

MYSTERY

SHE was last seen in a phonebox outside the Penny Pincher store in Chilliwack BC, trying to call her mother and stepfather.  A man, who had messy or wavy hair, was seen helping Jo-Anne Pederson but then the 10-year-old vanished without trace, never to be seen again.
Despite huge searches, a massive police operation and numerous TV appeals, for 28-years her disappearance has haunted the small Canadian community.
But now RCMP officers are hopeful they might get break, after a mystery letter arrived in their offices, which apperently might hold the key to unlocking the mystery. According to the Vancouver Sun Police believe the writer may have witnessed what happened to Jo-Anne before she disappeared on Feb. 19, 1983.

JENNIFER LYNN MORRIS 20-YEAR MYSTERY: BODY FOUND

MURDERED
THEY thought she may have gone missing and 20-years it was hoped she may return.
But two weeks ago the skeletal remains of Jennifer Lynn Morris were found down a heavily overgrown ravine and wooded area in Del Monte, CA.
And cops are hoping that with advances in DNA technology, they will finally be able to solve the mystery which has baffled them for more than two decades.  
Morris was last seen in January 1983 shopping at the now gone, Saks Fifth Avenue, but after huge search, all they found was her 1977 Ford Pinto in the shopping center car park.  
Monterey police Lt. Leslie Sonni told KTVU: "It was a case of someone vanishing without a trace."
