Has any one looked into the brothers drug store. Could a customer family member have a beff with the family. What was career path. We’re there any connections between the families finical dealings. Did the husband have a lady in the side
What about the Moore family murders. Even thro that happened in 1912. 104 yes ago. Donna sue Davis a beautiful little girl. Had she been alive she would had been 60 yes old. Patriciaannhellums@gmail.com
I was always told my great grandfather William Hamilton, was killed around Centerville, Iowa. He was a taxi driver and according to family, nobody was ever arrested in his murder. Have been unable to verify anything, and was curious to see if anyone knew anything.
What about this cold case of the Moore family murders? Katie Stilfer in 1903. What about her murder? This is terrible that no one has solved any of these cases. Who would do such a horrible thing to these people; why? And Donna Sue Davis; such a sweet, pretty little girl.
