today we are discussing four more decades-old cold cases let's get into it
number one christy lynn floyd kristy lynn floyd and her sister kim grew up in foster care
kim remembers her sister as a kind quiet girl who had a love of animals and basketball they were
teenagers they ran away from their foster home to live with their mother in the 2800 block of
west grace street in richmond virginia by june of 1986 christie had lived in richmond for two years
and was working at a nearby hardee's it was there during one of her shifts that sixteen-year-old
christy met an eighteen-year-old male who soon became her boyfriend
the day before christy went missing she and her boyfriend decided to run away together
but when christy's mother found out she called the boyfriend's mother
and threatened to press statutory rape charges against him if christie wasn't returned home
so the next morning christy came home her sister kim recalls talking to her that
morning as she was running out to get some food it was the last time she saw her sister
she said when i came back my mom was asleep on the sofa the back door was wide open the alley
door was wide open and i never seen her again the family filed a missing person's report in richmond
but according to kim the police didn't take her sister's disappearance seriously
her family submitted her information to america's most wanted put her photo on milk cartons hired
private investigators and made flyers that they passed out at truck stops but there was no sign
of christy two months later on august 7 1986 workers were unloading trash at the shoesmith
landfill in chesterfield county virginia when they came across a leg foot and torso
they were unable to identify the victim but suspected it was a white female between 22
and 32 years old christie's family was never contacted about the discovery
in 2019 the police sent a portion of the remains to dna labs international in florida
and a dna profile of the victim was developed they then sent the profile to parabon nanolabs
who were able to use dna phenotyping to produce a composite image of what the victim could have
looked like which they call a snapshot dna analysis that analysis revealed the victim
likely had fair or very fair skin brown or hazel eyes and brown or black hair police revealed she
was wearing size 7 or 7.5 shoes had pink toenail polish on and a rubber like bracelet on her ankle
later on kim revealed that christy regularly wore jelly bracelets on both feet
on march 2nd 2020 detective chris humphries released the snapshot dna analysis to the public
and he started getting phone calls from across the country almost immediately one of the first
calls he received was from retired richmond homicide detective mark williams who worked
with christy's family years prior he recommended detective humphries contact christy's family to
see if it was a match and he did kim's son dustin then used a dna kit to gather a dna sample and
sent the results to the detectives and within 24 hours they were able to confirm a familial match
in march of 2020 the chesterfield police criminal investigation division
confirmed the remains belonged to christie but what happened to her remains a mystery
and it's taken some time for science to kind of catch up to where we need to be
and able to identify her at the time that she was discovered we did coordinate efforts with
the office of the medical examiner as well as the division of forensic science to develop a dna
profile of those remains and that's kind of where the case stopped we didn't really have
anything to compare it to back then said captain jay thornton of the chesterfield police criminal
investigation division the police are still seeking information on what happened to christie
and encourage anyone with details to come forward and help bring closure to the family
unfortunately the identity of christy's boyfriend at the time of her disappearance
is still unknown as no one can remember his name and the initial police report can't be located
in one photo christy is pictured with her former boyfriend chris
who she dated prior to dating the boy she was with at the time of her disappearance
the police and family are looking to find and speak with chris he's not considered
a suspect at this time but they believe he may be able to help the investigation
number two carrie patterson in the summer of 1980 fifteen-year-old carrie patterson and her
family moved from cerritos california to fullerton just under 10 miles away according to her mother
crystal they moved there for carrie's safety she said that carrie was getting bullied at her school
by other girls and it was getting physical the only reason we moved is because of her
she said it was out of pure worry on my part i wanted to get her into sunny hills high
on june 16th 1980 just two weeks after arriving in fullerton carrie went missing she left home
to meet a male friend and a few of his friends from her old neighborhood at ice cream castle
approximately a mile from her house afterward she rode on her friend's
bicycle handlebars and he dropped her off near park's junior high school where they parted ways
the school was only a few short blocks from her home but she was never seen again
carrie's parents reported her missing and started distributing missing persons flyers throughout
the area authorities initially labeled her as a runaway but her parents knew that wasn't the case
in the weeks following police sifted through various reports of people claiming they saw or
talked to carrie after her disappearance but they were all deemed false six months later on december
27 1980 the upper portion of a skull femur and two arm bones were found by an oil worker
in a field near towner canyon and the 57 freeway in bria 12 miles from where carrie was last seen
her mother crystal read about the discovery in the local newspaper and kept the clipping
in her wallet for weeks before finally reaching out to see if it was carrie
soon after investigators were able to match the skull to carry using dental records
the police examined cary's case in 1980 1981 1994 2011 and 2014 but haven't been able to
establish any strong leads bob taft the orange county sheriff's department cold case detective
said the boys carrie was with on the day she disappeared were the last people to see her alive
but are not suspects in 1994 convicted killer david campbell claimed he murdered a man named
william raber because he suspected raber killed carrie but police believe this was a lie and that
campbell was able to construct the story because he stayed up to date on the news around the case
in december of 2019 a woman read an article about the case in the orange county register
and reached out to the police in january 2020.
she lived in the same area as carrie and said she remembers seeing a suspicious person on her street
the day carrie went missing according to the woman the man stood out so strongly that she
could still vividly remember what he looked like they developed a sketch based on her description
and have released it to the public hoping to identify and speak with this person of interest
in december of 2021 the orange county sheriff's department put out a story on carrie's case
and soon after received a tip that said you need to check out the case of wendy osborne
in 1987 fourteen-year-old wendy was kidnapped while walking to school
in placentia california her body was later found in carbon canyon
dna collected from her remains led police to a man named raymond barthelet who was already in prison
for an unrelated kidnapping and rape case barthlet was convicted of wendy's murder and died in prison
at the age of 45. a formal connection between barthelet and cary's case has not been made
kerry's case remains unsolved anyone with information is encouraged to contact investigator
bob taff or provide an anonymous tip to the orange county crime stoppers at 855 t-i-p-o-c-c-s
number three juanita jones in november of 1989 juanita jones was on the cusp of a new
and exciting venture the 32 year old had just put in her two weeks notice at the circle k
convenience store where she worked and she was going to open a restaurant it was a long time
coming for the haughton louisiana resident she had always had a passion for cooking and had
been working two jobs to save enough money to open her restaurant down home barbecue
but on november 13th 1989 that dream was tragically cut short
around 10 30 p.m a customer walked into the circle k at the corner of bodkau station
road and highway 80 to find juanita behind the counter suffering from a gunshot wound to the
head the customer immediately called the police and juanita was taken to bossier medical hospital
where she passed away five days later according to the bossier parish sheriff's office
it appeared juanita was shot during a robbery as the cash register was open
and money was missing with no cameras on the premises and no witnesses to the crime police
had little to go on unfortunately the leads they did receive weren't consistent and didn't have
the information or evidence needed to make an arrest juanita's family believes the shooter was
familiar with juanita and knew her schedule investigators say the suspect may have ties
to the haughton and shreveport areas but they have yet to make an arrest in the case juanita's family
kept her restaurant open for years after her death as a symbol of their love and respect for her
she is remembered by friends and family as a strong independent and driven person
number four jacqueline saunders and mary ann marzullo
it was 1967 in syracuse new york and summer was coming to a close soon fourteen-year-old mary
anne marzullo and thirteen-year-old jacqueline saunders would be heading back for another year
at roxboro road junior high school but until then they would enjoy the rest of their summer break
on friday august 11th the two friends attended the mattie dale fireman's field days in maddie dale
new york they had planned to walk home and stopped at a market on main street in north syracuse at
around 10 30 pm where marianne called her family she said they were running late but would be home
soon they were last seen walking northbound on brewerton road between 10 45 and 11 pm
when they didn't return home by the agreed-upon time their family started searching for them
early the next morning they reported the girls missing
around noon the next day a fisherman and his two sons found the girls bodies in a
marshy field along the chittanago creek in the town of cicero new york northeast of syracuse
their hands had been tied behind their backs with rope and an autopsy revealed
they'd been strangled to death police suspect the girls may have accepted a ride home on their walk
and that they'd been driven to the area where their bodies were found
a witness contacted the police and reported that they saw the girls in a car that day
and provided a description of the vehicle but the case went cold
a similar crime occurred in july of 1966 when the bodies of two suburban rochester girls were found
on a deserted lane the victims were george ann formakola 14 and kathy bernhard 16. they'd gone
missing after not returning home from an afternoon swim and their bodies were found a month later
their murders were never solved and no official connection has been made between the two cases
at the time of jacqueline and marianne's murders district attorney frank galtieri said he expected
to make an arrest within a few days police have since received and reviewed several leads but
the case remains unsolved more than 50 years later still new york state trooper jack teller believes
there's hope in solving the case so long as they keep it in the public eye people may not have any
idea of of the case itself maybe they they weren't aware of what happened 51 years ago but certainly
it gives them us an opportunity to discuss it to put it in spotlight again and also let the
families knows that we haven't forgotten them and we continue to work these cases because certainly
someone needs to be held accountable and they also um someone needs to be brought to justice
