There's a really interesting post on St Mary's County Sheriff's Office facebook about a murder that occurred in 1954 on what they are calling Scotland Beach - not sure if that would be Point Lookout now. Five or six pages of a newspaper article. Can't read all of it because it's a picture of the article and the entire thing isn't visible. Apparently she was a WAVE - unusual enough for the time period and she was murdered by another sailor who dumped her body on what they are calling Hays Beach? Anyone familiar with where that would be?

Anyhoo - if you're as tired as listening to/reading about all politics all the time, take a break and look it up, reads (as near as I can tell) like a Ken Rossiginal (sp?) page turner.

Don't know how to post facebook stuff but someone from the sheriffs office was the orginal poster.

Ken Rossignal?
Then it must be full of lies, speculation, & unverified gossip...
I'd rather read a spec. manual

Now there's a post about Vincent Paul Caciola murdered on NAS Patuxent River in 1985 - cold case file. I don't know why I don't remember that one - I was stationed here then.

I wonder how many murders there are in this area that have NOT been solved.

There was one right here in Piney Point back in ...I want to say 70s, without looking it up. Old lady named Hess was apparently murdered during a robbery of her house. Rumors regarding who was involved floated around for decades but all the "potential suspects" in those rumors are long gone now...all passed away.

I don't know why that surprises me - this area seems so sleepy to me but on the other hand, we've had some unusual murders here that never seem to make the big time - you know like Lifetime Movies for Women, Snapped, Married to Evil, Murder in Paradise, Kiss of Death, Heart of Darkness, Murder Comes to Town, Black Widow Murders, etc, etc. All fine TV viewing and located in MY STUFF on HULU.

Was there some murder here maybe twenty years ago where a body was found Lexington Park maybe and some drug addict named Lisa somebody was suspected as being involved?

You might be referring to the Lacey murder..a 7D woman was found murdered. I believe her body was found in dumpster in LP or something like that. I'm going only on very faded memory..

Wow didn't even remember that one. No, this one was a body found in the woods and I'm not sure they were even able to establish the cause of death. As far as I remember, it was a local guy and there was either a local prostitute/druggy suspected as being involved and I thought her name was Lisa.

Maybe I'm mixing up my murders though, I watch an awful lot of the ID channel when I'm doing things around the house.

I'm pretty certain that the Lacey woman's murder was solved.

Yeah it was just looked it up. Nancy Manni - from Harry Lunderburg, is that the name of the school out your way? That made Unsolved Mysteries. Couldn't find anything on the Hess murder.

I'm really astonished about the number of murders n this area. I need to dust off my Ken Rossignal stuff - he knows where all the bodies are buried.

Not unsolved, but the 1982 kidnapping, torture and murder of Stephanie Roper is burned into my brain.

Roper was home on a college break, and she and a girlfriend were returning from an evening with friends at a West End Washington, D.C. bar, the "Twenty-First Amendment" late at night. After dropping her friend off in Brandywine, Maryland, Stephanie proceeded toward her own home in Croom, but her car became disabled on a dark rural road. Two men stopped and kidnapped her at gunpoint. The two men, Jack Ronald Jones and Jerry Lee Beatty, kidnapped Stephanie and took her to an abandoned shack in Oakville, St. Mary's County. There she was tortured and raped repeatedly. One of the men called the other by his first name. Afraid now that Stephanie knew his name, they decided to kill her. Stephanie made several attempts to escape and upon her last capture, her skull was fractured with a logging chain and she was shot to death. In order to hinder identification, the murderers burned her body and severed her hands. They were captured after the younger man bragged about his part in the crime. Both men were charged with kidnapping, rape, and felony murder. The primary killer was convicted in Baltimore County while his co-defendant pleaded guilty to the same charges in Anne Arundel County. Both courts imposed sentences of two concurrent life sentences, with parole eligibility after 24 years.

That raises the question, are they still behind bars where they belong?

Did find this:

May 21, 1985

The convicted killers of Stephanie Ann Roper were sentenced to additional prison terms yesterday for rape, marking an apparent end to a three-year saga that started with the savage murder of the 22-year-old Frostburg State College student and spawned a statewide crusade for stiffer sentences and victims' rights.

The sentencing of Jack Ronald Jones and Jerry Lee Beatty doubled the minimum time they must serve before becoming eligible for parole from about 12 to 24 years.
