This is the story of three young people, one whose life was ended, the other two just vanished, and the families want answers. Listen closely, maybe one of you will realize that you know something, phone numbers will be provided for you to call in with any tips that you might have. There wasn't much information about Donna, however I did want to add the date and year she went missing which was March 18th, 1981. I also wanted to clarify that Anita was her big sister that passed away in 1966. If you can and would like to support the show, go to https://www.patreon.com/crimeatorium.

Patricia Anne Autry was a precocious redhead, who had an exuberance for life that was demonstrated in the way she worked, loved and played. Patricia, who went by Trisha, was only 15 years old and working on her first novel, when she was ripped out of her loved one’s lives and disposed of, as if her life didn’t matter. Her family was left with devastation and heartache in the wake of her death. This is Trisha Autry’s story. If you can and would like to support the show, go to https://www.patreon.com/crimeatorium.

On Monday the 22nd of December 1997, a motorist was driving close to Monticello Utah along U.S route 491, when he noticed a white, stuffed bear, lying in the road. He felt something urge him to go back, and quickly turned his car around, assuming it was a lost Christmas present for a nearby child. As he slowly began to approach the bear, something more sinister entered his view, a blood-soaked coat lying at the side of the road, and what appeared to be drag marks in the snow, leading off into the brush and undergrowth. It was 5:30pm and light had fallen, so the man decided to remain inside of his car while he alerted authorities.

In 1980, Michele Dee Gates was 13 years old and living in Oregon when she was suspected of drowning a four year old girl named Ruth Anne O'Neil, known as Ruthie to her family and friends. Because Michele was Ruth Anne’s babysitter and she had taken her for ice cream that day, she was brought in for questioning alone on two separate occasions. Police confronted her on some inconsistent statements she had given, after which, she admitted to drowning little Ruth Anne. This is the twisted saga of Michele Dee Gates.

Back in 1994, an 18 year old woman walked into a medical clinic in McHenry, Illinois seeking help. Her mother had just died, leaving her all on her own, with no other family to turn to. This young woman was cognitively impaired and vulnerable, living on the streets, alone. At the clinic, she met a 54 year old registered nurse named Linda LaRoche. LaRoche recognized right away that this young woman was impaired and took her into her own home in McHenry, a suburb of Chicago. LaRoche told her that she would help her get her high school diploma and provide her with room and board, what she asked for in exchange, was for her to be a housekeeper and a nanny to her children. This young woman has a name, Peggy Lynn Johnson. She had no way of knowing that she was about to lose her dignity and freedom in life and her identity in death. This is the story of the Racine County, Jane Doe. If you can and would like to support the show, go to https://www.patreon.com/crimeatorium.

Listen to an interview with Barbara MacDonald, host of the podcast, Down The Hill: The Delphi Murders.

Barbara describes visiting Delphi, Indiana, the place where Abby and Libby lived, she also tells us about the Delphi Historic Trail, the last place they ever visited. It's a great behind the scenes perspective from someone who has spent time with the girl's families, law enforcement, also friends and neighbors of Abby and Libby. If you think you might have some information that could help this case, the FBI tip line and the local sheriff's office email is listed below. 844-459-5786 [email protected] Down The Hill: The Delphi Murders website: https://www.downthehillpodcast.com/ Crimeatorium: https://linktr.ee/Crimeatorium
