UNSOLVED MYSTERY MURDERS
Added on: 2nd Jun 2016
ROBERT HAMRICK
A gang of thugs was terrorizing the small town of Rock Creek,
Ohio, in the late 1960’s. Newly hired Chief of Police Robert Hamrick
vowed to put an end to the gang, arresting several members
while his family received death threats. While pursuing a
fleeing vehicle, communication between Robert and the
radio dispatcher ended when the line went dead. His car was
found four hours later stuck in a tree, with most of his skull
crushed and the car windows intact, leading some to believe
he was beaten after the crash. Though a witness reported
hearing gang member’s brag about murdering the officer,
no one was ever connected or arrested.
PHILIP FRASIER
Philip Frasier, aged 25, was on his way from Anchorage to
Washington state in the summer of 1988. On the way, he picked
up a hitchhiker at a service station en route. That night, the
hitchhiker arrived at the house of Eddie and Pauline Olson
in British Columbia, Canada. He said “his” car was having trouble
and they offered to let him stay the night. The next morning,
the hitchhiker introduced himself as Philip Frasier and tried
to sell the car to Eddie so he could buy a plane ticket.
Eddie refused, the hitchhiker drove off, and the car was
found burnt out over 300 miles away. Philip’s body wasn’t
found for six more weeks, dumped off a turnaround on a
country road, and the search for his killer remains.
RAE ANN MOSSOR
According to her ex-boyfriend, Rae Ann Mossor arrived at his
house one chilly February night and attempted to fix their
crumbling relationship. After she learned the relationship was
unsalvageable, her ex claimed she grabbed a rifle and mortally
shot herself. Three witnesses supported her ex-boyfriend’s claim
that she threatened to take her own life and, with no evidence
of foul play, police ruled her death a suicide. Her parents
disagreed and after much time, had her death changed from
suicide to undetermined. Though they believe her ex-boyfriend
was her killer, the evidence for it doesn’t exist. Some believe
her ex was a police informant and was being protected by law
enforcement, but this is primarily speculation.
RUTH COOPER, STEPHEN HARKINS,
DIANA ROBERTSON, MIKE RIEMER
Ruth Cooper and younger boyfriend Stephen Harkins went camping
near Tacoma, Washington in the summer of ’85. Four days after
they were last seen, Stephen and his dog’s bodies were found dead
(by bullet wounds) in his sleeping bag. Ruth’s body was found
two months later, decapitated with a tube sock around her neck.
Four months later, Diana Robertson’s body was found deep
in a Washington forest, murdered the same way as Ruth.
Her boyfriend, Mike Riemer, was nowhere to be found though
a note in his blood-stained truck nearby read “I love you, Diana.”
Police believed Mike was the murder for 25 years, until his skull
was found a mile away from where Diana’s body laid.
The case is still unsolved and an unknown serial killer
may still be on the loose.
TED LOSEFF
An orthopaedic surgeon living near Los Angeles, California,
Ted Loseff was experiencing marital disputes with his two-year
wife, Wilma. On February 23, 1974, Ted was found lifeless in his
car, presumably having suffocated to death in his garage from
the running car. Police immediately suspected his wife Wilma,
even though their prenuptial agreement stated she would not
receive anything in the case of his death. A friend identified
Ted’s handwriting in a supposed suicide note written by Ted
which asked Wilma for compassion but claimed it was
written many months before. An autopsy was finally performed
four years later which showed Ted had been involved in a
struggle and vomited before death (the remnants of which were
found inside). His wife Wilma died almost 10 years after his
death without enough evidence to charge her and
Ted Loseff’s death remains unsolved.
LETICIA HERNANDEZ
Leticia Hernandez, a seven-year-old girl from Oceanside, California,
was kidnapped while playing in her front yard in December
1989. Afterwards, several people reported seeing Leticia at
different places across the United States with a man and woman
in their late twenties, but she was never seen with them by
authorities. Over a year later, her body was found off a highway
near her hometown, believed to have been killed between
1 to 12 months after her abduction. Her mother died in
1998 without ever finding the true killer.
KEITH WARREN
Nineteen-year-old Keith Warren was found hanging from a tree
near his Silver Spring, Maryland, home in what was ruled a suicide.
Over five years later, Keith’s mother received an envelope with
photos that helped her force police (who had been uncooperative)
to reopen the case. The photos showed Keith was wearing
clothes which weren’t his and had been initially laid on the ground
before being raised up on the tree (which was so small a suicide
on it was essentially impossible). Keith’s body was exhumed and
deadly chemicals were found in it. Almost 20 years after his death,
the case was reopened by the Montgomery County Police
Department in 2014. They admitted the investigating officer ruled
Keith’s death as a suicide based on hearsay from an unknown
source. Keith’s sister Sherri is actively pursuing the answer
to her brother’s unsolved murder.
TINA MARCOTTE & TOM KEUTER
The disappearance of Tina Marcotte and death of Tom Keuter are
one of the strangest unsolved murder mysteries out there.
Tina called her friend Vicky for a ride late one night as she was
heading home from work as her car had a flat tire
(which was later found to have been slashed). Tom, a
co-worker and the man Tina told her friend on the phone
would give her a ride, was the prime suspect after Tina
disappeared. He voluntarily went in for police questioning and
gave a story which didn’t entirely fit but wasn’t enough to
arrest him. Three days after Tina’s disappearance, police told
Tom they found blood in his car and, just after the shift change
the following day, Tom was found dead, crushed by the rear
wheel of his forklift. Police believe he loaded the machine with
2,000 pounds (907 kg) of lumber from the yard he worked at,
drove the forklift up an incline, and ran back to lay in its path as
it drifted down. Over two years later, Tina’s body was found under
a wood pile at Tom’s former employer; the cause of death was
blunt force trauma. Neither Tina’s disappearance nor
Tom’s death have ever been truly solved.
