Children Say They Witnessed Child Murders By Jennifer Kerr  Associated Press Writer  Sacramento, CA (AP) January 18, 1985  Paper: Mobile Register (Mobile, AL)  Page: 37  Three children say men accused of running a child sex ring were present when three other youngsters were hit on the head with a pipe and cut up while cameras recorded the scene, a prosecutor said Thursday. Municipal Court Judge John Stroud refused to reduce the $500,000 bail for two of the five defendants, Alan Arbuckle and Veryl Baker of Sacramento.

New law tough on offenders: Those with sex convictions must register with state                 Boston Globe 15 August 1993 Laura A Kiernan   CONCORD, N.H. -- The man, convicted of rape several years ago, served time in prison, and later, during counseling sessions, had done "a real good job" learning to control his behavior, according to his therapist.

The man saw his name on that list as a constant reminder of what he had done, the therapist said, which meant no release from his shame. Unlike some other states , New Hampshire does not make the names on it's sex offender registry public. But t...

I am looking for my aunt Cynthia Louise Putnam who has been missing, to our family, since about 1974. She may be going by a different name but... she was born on March 17, 1957... she was last heard from when she was attending the Weeks School in Vergennes, VT, and she is greatly missed by her family...

We put them in contact with NAMUS so that she could be listed as missing in that database. Not long afterward, I (Ronda) was searching through indexes of the deceased and found these entries:  It was obvious that little was known about the background of this girl with the same full name as the girl who disappeared from Vermont. I then searched through the Gree...
