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.
