Did a serial killer go unrecognized?

[sdreid]

My mom was 6 when the murder occurred and she still remembers a lot from her childhood.

[sdreid]

Unlikely that they remember anything important even if they remember perfectly.

[GUT]

And how trustworthy would any memories be if they were kids at the time and now into their 80's.

[sdreid]

I'd be surprised if any remember anything significant though.

[sdreid]

I'm pretty sure that some of the little kids who saw Wallace making his rounds on the day of the murder would still be living. They would only be in their 80s now.

[sdreid]

He was apparently the last witness of record.

[sdreid]

I have never heard for sure if all the children who saw Close making his delivery to Julia are now deceased.

I was informed on another site the last of those was James Wildman and he died in 2005.

I have never heard for sure if all the children who saw Close making his delivery to Julia are now deceased.

[sdreid]

Perhaps the last witness of any sort.

[sdreid]

Savona Brine was probably the last major witness to pass away then.

[sdreid]

That being Savona Brine who was 13 at the time.

[sdreid]

It appears, that is from a good source, that Parry's last alibi witness died in 1998.

[sdreid]

Apparently Julia Wallace did suffer from urinary incontinence at age 69 and she seems a little young for that.

[sdreid]

When I was a kid, I thought my grandparents in their 50s were old but now I'm 67 and don't even feel like I've reached middle age yet. Julia Wallace does look quite old to me in her mortuary photos and she's only two years older than I am now.

Until reality hits, we baby boomers will continue to consider ourselves immortal.
