    MP Officer Johnny Lee Thornton who commited the murders of the other teens in Jan 1977 was the one who reported the found car of Alfred. So, there is a connection. However, they have not been able to get a confession from Thornton and have not found any physical evidence linking the two.

    J.B. King, the Missouri Highway Patrol officer assigned to assist with the murder investigation recently published a book called Frozen Tears and was a guest on the podcast Darkness Radio where he talked about the probable connection between the two cases.

      Teresa was one of my best friends in middle school when her family was stationed at Stewart Army Base in New Windsor, NY. After she moved, we wrote and talked on the phone, albeit not frequently because it was “long distance”. I received a note from her mother in August 1977 telling me that Teresa (who went by T.C. for Teresa Constance) had gone missing in October 1976. I still have this note. She, also, informed me that the parents and brother were moving to another base and gave me their new address. I have thought about her a lot over the years and will, occasionally, go online and look for any new information. I ordered Frozen Tears today.

RIP Jacob Wetterling

On October 22, 1989, just after 9:00 p.m., Jacob Wetterling (11), his younger brother Trevor (10), and a friend Aaron (11), were cycling home from a  convenience store  where they had gone to rent a video, [1]  when a masked gunman came out of a driveway and ordered the boys to throw their bikes into a ditch and lie face down on the ground.

The gunman then demanded to view the faces of the two remaining boys. He picked Jacob, and told his friend to run away and not look back otherwise he would shoot.
