TED BUNDY CONFESSED: DEBRA KENT STILL MISSING

CRAZY

MURDERED?

NOTORIOUS serial killer Ted Bundy ultimately confessed to her murder, but with little evidence to go on, cops cannot be sure that she is dead. 
Debra Kent was just 17-years-old when she vanished after attending a high school play with her parents in Bountiful, UT. 
Back in November she'd offered to pick up her brother and hurried away to the parking lot. 
But she never made it and while her brother waited at the ice rink, her parents were also confused until midnight, when they realized that theirs was the only car in parking lot. 
Several people who lived near the school later admitted to hearing two short, terrified screams between 22:30 and 23.00.
Later, a father told police he'd arrived late at the play and saw a light colored Volkswagen Bug racing away from the school.
A small handcuff key was found in the parking lot. 
The key matched handcuffs serial killer Ted Bundy used to try to abduct Carol DaRonch earlier that month but nothing else was turned up. 
Minimal skeletal remains were later found, but it wasn't enough to positively identify her and even thoughBundy confessed to Debbie's murder before his execution, cops cannot be certain, so the case remains open.

DID JOHN WAYNE GACY MURDER CANADIANS?

KILLER CLOWN

CANADIAN VICTIMS?

SERIAL KILLER clown John Wayne Gacy who murdered at least 33 teenage boys in America is now being eyed by Canadian investigators.
The Ontario Provincial Police are dusting off their case files to see if any of the eight unidentified bodies found in the crawlspace of his Chicago home are from their country.
It's believed Gacy may have regularly crossed the border during his prime killing years between 1972 and 1978.

He later became known as the "Killer Clown" due to his charitable services at fundraising events, parades and children's parties where he would dress as "Pogo the Clown", a character he devised himself.
OPP detectives will be now look at cases that fit Gacy’s profile, including the type of young men he targeted, from across a wide span of years.
While there are reports at least one Canadian family has contacted American officials to ask about a possible connection to a lost loved one, police have not given any details.
Sgt. Pierre Chamberland told the Toronto Sun they are waiting for U.S. officials — specifically the Cook County Sheriff’s Office that is spearheading the effort to identify the mystery eight — to contact them with more specific information.
He said: “We do have several unresolved cases."

SOUTHSIDE SLAYER GUILTY OF THREE MORE MURDERS

DEATH?

THE SERIAL killer dubbed the "Southside Slayer" has been found guilty of murdering three more women - including a girl of just 15. Michael Hughes viciously raped and sodomized his teen victim, Yvonne Coleman, before strangling her to death, back in January 1986, cops said.
Her nude body was found near a park barbecue pit.
The youngster had skipped school a day before to spend time with her boyfriend and was last seen leaving his house to catch a bus home.
Former security guard Hughes, was also accused and found guilty of murdering two prostitutes, Verna Williams and Deborah Jackson, in 1986 and 1993.
According to the LA Times Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman showed jurors a slideshow to illustrate how the victims' bodies were posed in sexual ways to shock anyone who found them.
The 55-year-old was already serving a life sentence for killing four women in 1992 and 1993 when he was found guilty for these additional murders. 
Cops said DNA linked him to the gruesome crimes.
Prosecutors will now seek the death penalty when the sentencing trial begins on Monday.
Hughes was investigated by a task force looking into three separate serial killers accused of stalking women during a crack cocaine epidemic that forced women onto the streets as prostitutes to feed their addictions.
As many as 90 women were killed in inner-city Los Angeles during that time.

'GRIM SLEEPER' LONNIE FRANKLIN JR - SIX MORE??

GRIM SLEEPER?

THE "Grim Sleeper" serial killer suspect has been linked to six more murders than the 10 he has already been charged with, cops say.
Lonnie Franklin Jr is accused of killing 10 women, all of whom were found in alleyways within a few miles of his home in downtown LA as we reported here.
All the victims, some of whom were prostitutes, were shot, strangled or both and most had been sexually assaulted.
The killer was dubbed 'the grim sleeper' because of the long gaps between the deaths, which began in the 1980s and ended in this century.
Cops were baffled for years, but they finally linked Franklin to the crimes after  a DNA database showed a convicted felon, his 28-year-old son, matched the genetic blueprint found at 15 crime scene locations.  
When they arrested him they found photographs and videos of another 100 women at his home.
Franklin, a mechanic, was arrested and indicted in July 2010 and indicted and now cops are investigating him in connection with another 250 murders.
The LA Times is reporting however that they will not immediately seek additional charges in the other killings because they don't want to complicate the case against Franklin as it moves toward trial.
Meanwhile, Franklin's attorney, Louisa Pensanti, said the new allegations are false.
She also accused authorities of making the allegations public in order to infect the jury pool.

NM COPS HUNT FOR BODIES OF JILL TROIA, 40 OTHERS

COPS in New Mexico are searching for up to 40 bodies after a killer boasted his tally was sky high. And they've reopened the case of Jill Troia, 22, who disappeared in 1995 and is suspected to be a victim of David Parker Ray. It's believed Parker Ray dumped bodies near the Elephant Butte Reservoir and caves. Troia vanished in 1995.
According to Fox News: Ray wrote detailed accounts of sexual tortures and burials of victims, including one he described as an Asian woman -- a description that fits Troia. But authorities have said it's unclear if his writings were fantasies or actual crimes he committed.
He was arrested in 1999 after a naked woman wearing just a dog collar and a chain fled his house of horrors. She had been tortured by Ray and inside his house--that he called his "toy box"-- they found his surgical tools and video cameras. He was initially charged with 37 counts involving three women -- the woman who fled naked, a Colorado woman who was tortured in 1996 and another woman.
In 2001, Ray was convicted of kidnapping and torturing the Colorado woman, and he pleaded guilty to kidnapping and rape charges in the case of the woman who fled naked. He died in prison in 2002. No bodies have ever been located after a number of searches in the area around the reservoir.
Troia was last seen in October 1995 at the Frontier Restaurant with another woman--Ray's daughter Glenda Jean, who she had been dating in a lesbian relationship. She was later reported missing
Detectives have long believed the Glenda and her dad were linked to the disappearance. She was jailed on a kidnapping beef while Ray's girlfriend, Cynthia Lea Hendy, got hit with 36 years.

Among the suspect victims are, Sharon Shaw, pictured left, and Rhonda Johnson, right. According to the Houston Chronicle six different agencies: the Harris County Sheriff's, the Pasadena PD, the Galveston PD, the Galveston County Sheriff's, the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office and
the Harris County DA - said theywill reopen files to determine if evidence could corroborate or disprove Bell’s claims.
In his interview with the Chronicle, Bell provided detailed descriptions of at least four young females between the ages of 12 and 19 that he claims to have kidnapped and murdered from Brazoria, Harris or Galveston counties. The killer previously told cops he would hunt in his 1977 GMC truck carrying two guns, porn mags and a 32 AA bra. In 1978, cops busted Bell for shooting Larry Dickens, a Pasadena Marine Veteran, when he attempted to stop Bell as he masturbated in front of a group of girls.MORE ON EDWARD HAROLD BELL
