Jeannette Kamahele

**Jeannette Kamahele** was a woman who went missing in 1972 from California. She is thought to be an undiscovered victim of an unidentified serial killer.

## Case

### Disappearance

She was last seen by her roommate at 9:30 am when she was leaving her residence. She used to hitchhike to college and she may have been picked up by a white male, 20 to 30 years old, with afro hairstyle driving a faded brown Chevrolet truck.

### Serial killer theory

Between 1972 and 1973, at least seven girls and young women hitchhiking around Santa Rosa or Sonoma County were murdered. They were all found nude and dumped in rural areas near ravines or creek beds. Several suspects, including the Zodiac Killer, Arthur Leigh Allen, and Ted Bundy have been considered, but no one has been charged as the serial killer. Authorities speculated Kamahele could have been a victim.

Additional confirmed and possible victims of the Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Killer include Sonoma County Jane Doe (1979) and Lisa Smith. Kamahele has been ruled out as the unidentified victim through dental records.

Jane Beaumont

**Jane Nartare Beaumont** was an Australian child who disappeared in 1966 from Adelaide, South Australia, alongside her siblings Arnna Beaumont and Grant Beaumont. They are commonly referred to as the **"Beaumont children"**.

## Case

On the morning of their disappearance, the siblings asked their mother if they could travel to the beach. As it was too hot, they took a five-minute, three-km bus journey by themselves. They were expected to return home on the noon bus but did not, nor on the 2 PM bus. At 3 PM, their father searched the beach and at 5:30 PM reported their disappearance to the police. The Beaumont parents described Jane as shy, but Arnna had previously remarked that her sister Jane had got a boyfriend down the beach.

Several witnesses saw the children playing with a tanned, slim, tall man in trunks in his mid-thirties on the day they disappeared. The man asked one witness if anyone had been near the children's belongings as their money was missing. Around 12:15 PM, they were witnessed walking away from the beach. A nearby bakery shopkeeper who knew them reported Jane had bought pasties and a meat pie with a 1 pound note that her parents had not provided. A postman who knew the children well also reported witnessing them leaving the beach alone around 3 but later said it was the morning.

Two years later, the parents received letters claiming to be from the children, but they were forensically determined to be hoaxes in 1992.

Several suspects have been publicly suggested including by police due to geographic proximity and violent criminal convictions and murder. Arthur Stanley Brown was charged with the murder of two other young girls but was aged 53 at the time of the Beaumont disappearance and Derek Percy was only 17. Children associated with Munro and Phipps specifically state witnessing the Beaumont children with the suspects after the disappearance.

## Case

Joan vanished from Woodward, California, on April 10, 1947. The previous day, a tornado struck Woodford, killing 185 people and injuring another 720. Joan's mother was among those who died during the tornado, and her father was severely wounded. While Joan and her sister were also hurt, Joan had a splinter in her left calf, and they did not need immediate medical care.

Joan was last seen by her sister, who was four years older than she was, at the Woodward Hospital. The girls' father was transferred to Oklahoma City Hospital for treatment, and they were sent down to the basement to keep them out of the chaos until they could be treated.

According to Joan's sister, she was then abducted by two men wearing Khaki "military-style" work clothes with some company logo on them. Joan's sister tried to tell people that she'd watched two men carry Joan away, but this was initially not taken seriously, and it was assumed she had been taken elsewhere for treatment. It wasn't until several days later, when the disaster was under control that it became apparent she had been telling the truth.

Joan has never been found despite her case receiving national attention.

John Ahern

**John B. Ahern** was a United States Navy sailor who was last seen on September 22, 1918 when the USS Ticonderoga left New York. The Ticonderoga was shortly destroyed by a German U-Boat SM *U-152*.

## Case

John Ahern was born on November 4, 1894 in Manchester, New Hampshire. From his home state, he enlisted in the United States Navy and was assigned as a Gunner to the steamer USS Ticonderoga which was commissioned on January 5, 1918. Between January and September 1918, the *Ticonderoga* took several trips between the United States and Europe, bringing cargo and supplies to the Allies during World War I.

On September 22, 1918, the *Ticonderoga* left New York bound for Europe in a convoy. During the night of September 29th and September 30th, the steamer developed engine trouble and dropped behind the convoy. On 5:20 AM of September 30th, she was spotted by German U-boat SM *U-152*. The steamer and submarine fought for the next two hours and it was at 7:45 AM when the *Ticonderoga* began to sink.

Unfortunately, of the 237 sailors and soldiers on the ship, only 24 of them survived. Twenty-two were rescued by the British steamer SS *Moorish Prince* four days later and the other two were captured by the Germans and transported to Kiel, Germany. Ahern was not among any of the men that were captured or rescued.

Ahern was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and presumably the World War I Victory Medal and the Navy Expeditionary Medal. His name is also memorialized at the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial in Suresnes, France.

John B. Ahern remains part of the 4,223 Americans who remain unaccounted for during World War I. Additionally, he is one of 23 servicemen from New Hampshire who are unaccounted for during World War I. Their cases are not under investigation by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.

His car was in the shop for repairs due to a recent hailstorm. He initially planned to walk the considerable distance to Fazoli's but later made arrangements for a ride to work.

Thinking it would be too difficult to give directions directly to his house, they agreed to meet at Benson High School, where they had both graduated from. Jolkowski was last seen taking trash cans back inside before proceeding to the school. The school was 8 blocks from his house.

His co-worker never saw him. She went to a nearby gas station to call Fazoli's and then returned to work. Jolkowski was not seen arriving at the school when the school's surveillance footage was reviewed.

Jimmy Howell

* Age progressed

**James "Jimmy" Richard Howell** was a young boy who vanished in 1969. His age progression depicts him at 50 years old.

## Background

Jimmy was born on October 28, 1959. His biological parents divorced in the early 1960s and Jimmy and his siblings were subsequently sent to live in an orphanage. He later spent time in a foster home while some of his siblings went to live with their aunt. However, in 1968 all of the children returned to live with their mother and stepfather.

According to Jimmy's mother, he liked animals, but he was frightened of insects and the dark. At the time of his disappearance, Jimmy was in third grade.

## Case

Jimmy was last seen outside his family home in the 1300 block of West 13th Street in Sterling, Illinois on May 28, 1969. That morning he found an injured pigeon and took it home. He wanted to build a cage either for the pigeon or his pet birds so he got some wooden boards from a neighbour and convinced his sister, Debra, to help him. At one point she went inside to get tools, and when she returned, he was gone.

There were several possible sightings of Jimmy after his official disappearance. His stepfather, Cornell Hutch, claims he saw Jimmy with a neighbourhood boy later that day. A neighbour said she saw James carrying a grey pigeon under his arm as he walked across a field near his home and another witness said they saw him running from an unknown man in a field.

Jimmy's neighbour contacted authorities at 10:35 P.M. that night and notified them of the missing boy. This triggered a 400-person air and ground search of the area Jimmy was last seen in. Divers also searched gravel pits and water areas, particularly Elkhorn Creek and Rock River. All of Jimmy's family submitted to polygraph tests and were subsequently cleared of all suspicions in 1998.

Investigators initially believed Jimmy had run away due to his chaotic family situation. Although his mother thought this was unlikely.

## Characteristics

* Brown hair.
* Brown eyes.
* He was hyperactive and took mild tranquillisers to manage his behaviour.

## Clothing and accessories

* A white T-shirt.
* Blue jeans.
* White sneakers.

Jay Ashley

**John Jay Ashley Jr.** was a young man who disappeared from Wilmington, Delaware on December 14, 1971. He goes by his middle name "Jay."

## Case

Jay was last seen by his mother heading to school. He had $45 his grandmother had given him to buy Christmas presents. After school, he walked his girlfriend, Valerie, home. He then attended basketball practice at the King Street YMCA. After practice, he reportedly left the YMCA with members of The Stallions, a youth group that Jay was a member in that has been accussed of being a gang. They went to a pool room on Curlett Street. They eventually left and headed their own way. Jay was last seen by classmate and Stallion member Calvin Berry, at 22nd Street and Locust Street, about twelve blocks from the Ashley home. Calvin at one point would later say he saw Jay be pulled into a car, but he later denied this.

Leroy "Ricky" Morgan, 17, also vanished that night, while presumably walking home in the same general area as Jay. Although the two were friends and members of The Stallions, it is not believed that they were together that night. He was last seen walking from his girlfriend's home at 10:45 p.m.

Jay's mother was not initially concerned of her son's disappearance, but when he did not show up to his father's funeral, she contacted police in early January 1972. Police initally did not take Jay's or Ricky's disappearances seriously and assummed they left together on their own terms. Their belief was enabled when a witness, who claimed to be Ricky's friend, saw the two on January 3, 1972 walking near 11th Street and Kirkwood Street. When the witness called out Ricky, the two took off running in the opposite direction.

Ricky's body was located in February 1972, with his cause of death being drowning, manner not stated. It is not immediately clear if he drowned on or around the night he disappeared or some time after. Between his disappearance and discovery, his mother stated to have received a phone call in which a breathless voice uttered, "Mom? Ricky." before she heard what sounded like someone wrestling the phone out of the caller's hand and slamming down the receiver.

On April 8, 1978, the skeletal remains of a young black man were discovered at a landfill in Wilmington. The cause of death was attributed to natural causes. While the characteristics between the unknown man and Jay were similar, including having the same pelvic deformity, DNA testing proved they were two different men. The unknown man has yet to be identified.

Jay's disappearance is under investigation by the Wilmington Police Department. Whether Jay's and Ricky's cases are connected or not has yet to be determined.

## Characteristics

* Short cropped black hair.
* Brown eyes.
* No facial hair.
* Right hip congenital defect.
* Transverse fracture of second metatarsal (foot) bones since January 17, 1967.

He informed his dad about the harassment at work and how coworkers had stripped him naked and poured a toxic liquid on him before his disappearance.

Jeff Kolden

**Jeffrey Frederick Ervin Kolden** is a man who went missing under suspicious circumstances on June 8, 2002 in Morenci, Arizona.

## Case

Jeff Kolden, who used to live in Tucson, Arizona, left home after an argument with his fiancé and drove in his blue 1985 Chevrolet C/K 1500 pickup truck with Arizona license plates to the local Circle K store where he bought gas and beer. It is not clear where he got the money from, as his wallet, heirloom wristwatch, and checkbook were in his car that he loaned to a friend that night. Afterwards, he was seen driving approximately half a mile south of Morenci on Reservation Road, in an area known as the Morenci Corrals and was never heard from afterwards.

Kolden's pickup was located in the San Francisco River, which is along Reservation Road the next day. No sign of him was found and police do not believe he drowned in the river. His friend would later bring back the car that had the former's wallet and watch in it.

As Kolden's fiancé was pregnant with a girl at the time and they had an argument the previous night, police initially theorized he walked out of his life. However, his family and friends rebutted that theory by stating he looked forward to fatherhood and was anticipating the upcoming elk hunting season. Additionally, he has not touched his bank account since his disappearance.

The date of his disappearance is also the first anniversary of his fiancé's divorce from her her ex-husband. Kolden was reportedly afraid of the man, but it is not clear if he is suspect in Kolden's disappearance.
