62: The Lost Boys of Hannibal MO

Hannibal MO is not just the birthplace of Mark Twain...it is also the place where three boys disappeared without a single trace while exploring a cave....or a construction site...or they were possibly more victims of John Wayne Gacy Jr. Either way...it's not good.

60: The Babes Of Inglewood

Pamela Everett might never had known she had two aunts that were murdered along with their friend in 1937 if she had not tried to lie to her father about where she was one night when she was 15. Instead of being upset with her, her father simply told her that he had lost two sisters and he couldn't lose a daughter too. It was that statement that sent her searching as an adult for the two aunts she never knew. What she discovered was not only details about her families secret, but that the wrong guy was possibly sent to the gallows for the murder of the "Babes of Inglewood"
