Also odd that the cousin didn't suspect it was her until now. Glad that most have been ID'd, but so sad that three remaining women still have nobody to step up and ask about where they went. Even sadder that Ridgeway is still alive, eating well, with a roof over his head, on taxpayers money. And they say the system works?

My husband witnessed a head on fatality on the same highway two years ago. The driver suffered a heart attack, and drove straight onto the opposite lane. Guess we never know when our timer is up. Condolences to the family and friends of the victim.

Back then, it was a thriving logging town. Now, it's more like a ghost town with boarded up businesses. It's beautiful in it's location, but horrible where the location is. Eugene is the closest major city to it, but that's about an hours drive away. A big 'thank you' to the anonymous donor for helping the folks still living there. Save Oakridge!!!

Usually it's just skin, hair color, and approx weight, which could be attached to a bazillion suspects.

But man....that would scare the crap out of me if I came upon it! Thankfully it didn't find it's way into her house, and cuddle up with her on her pillow.

Perhaps it's been ripped out of her head over time by the SOB, or she's in constant worry so the alopecia took over. No matter what happened to her hair, does it really matter KRAMR?

Some men just feel they 'own' their wives, and that they can torture and abuse them whenever they feel like it. How long can a person go on taking it though? Perhaps she tried leaving, only for him to find her and make it even worse. Remember the movie 'The Burning Bed' with Farrah Fawcett? A true story of a sadistic husband, and a woman who finally snapped. This woman saved her own life. Unfortunately, she'll most likely have to serve time, as they'll find her guilty of manslaughter in the end. Nobody wins in this case.

And many times, the way they think not to get caught, is to next time kill their victims so they can't tell on them.

If Jerry Ray was convicted of one count of child rape, then statistically, there are many more of his victims before or after still out there. Sure, they may do the time, but it doesn't keep them from re-offending. They are NEVER cured!

Add to that, the luck of getting help from having cell service in a remote area. I'd be writing a few thank you letters to heavens angels for that save.

Something has happened to us as a society over the years. Personally, I blame the media, internet, and the entertainment industry for alot of it. The longer a person is subjected to negative, graphic stimulation, its bound to make a permanent impression on their psyche. There's big differences between, say 'Ozzie and Harriet' and the 'Osborns'. Or 'The Birds', compared to the 'Saw' series. Don't even get me started on the video games kids (and adults) play. Compare what we have now to Atari. There's no comparison.

Makes me wonder if by removing wholesome family viewing, and replacing it with crime and sex in TV, video games, music, etc., that more violence is bound to happen? I never heard of so much crime when I was growing up. God help us all. Condolences to the victims.

You did the right thing. These days, most people seem to just not care enough to get themselves involved unfortunately. I hope the woman realizes she needs to get away from the pathetic POS. It's only going to continue, and probably get worse.
