In February 1983, the Ohio Valley was struck by a terrible snowstorm which eclipsed any such storm in a forty (40) year history. Roads were impassible and power outages impaled the region. However, on February 13, 1983, just as the storm came to a bitter end, an elderly couple witnessed what they believed to be a mannequin that had been disposed of over a hillside off Route 250 near Littleton, WV. The “mannequin” was actually a human body, which had been discarded over the embankment in the pre dawn hours of the day. It was estimated that the body had been deceased around 48 hours prior to the discovery, but had been placed only hours before. Throughout the years, the case has been shrouded in mystery bringing forth a multitude of theories, but yielding no answers to our Jane Doe's true fate. Join the Cold Case Crew and they delve into the mysterious murder of the Wetzel County Jane Doe. A cold case local to Wetzel County, West Virginia.#WetzelCounty #ColdCasesOfWetzelCounty #UnsolvedWV #ColdCase #JaneDoe #WetzelCountyJane Doe #Littleton #WesVirginia #Unsolved #Homicide #UnsolvedHomicide #UnsolvedMurder #HareKrishna #RedheadMurders #ColdCaseCrew #1983 _________________________________________________________________________References:Youtube: Mysterious WV: The Wetzel County Jane DoeWebsites: https://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/Wetzel_County_Jane_Doehttps://www.doenetwork.org/cases/56ufwv.htmlhttps://www.shinealightwv.org/post/wetzel-county-jane-doe-aka-judy-beaty-doehttps://www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/wv-littleton-whtfem-30-45-56ufwv-upper-denture-c-section-scar-orange-toe-polish-feb83.108148/__________________________________________________________________________Special Thank You's:Thank you to our familiesCompute OneHale Family DentistryBrand RPMKevin BeattyCandor Creative CompanyThank you to all our subscribers!

“But what about my babies!”— It may sound cliche, I know, but as a mother, you rarely give a second thought to what would happen if you somehow found yourself forcibly taken from your children prematurely. You partially think this because so often that is not the case, that ‘It's not going to happen to me,” but maybe too because you know that it is your worst fear realized and if you think on it too long it's absolutely terrifying. But sadly it is a reality, especially in many missing persons cases. On July 19, 2006, twenty one (21) year old Melanie Metheny of Belle, West Virginia dropped two (2) of her three (3) children off at The Country Kids Daycare. Melanie was a devoted single mother, who had been making strides to become a nurse. Melanie made remarks to several individuals that morning that she intended to run over to the Garnet Career Center to pick up some transcripts that she needed for the upcoming semester. But Melanie would never make it to the Career Center and by the end of the day, Staff at the Country Kids Daycare contacted Melanie's family, informing them that Melanie had never arrived back to pick up her children. Melanie has not been seen or heard from since. As clues began to unfold, the circumstances of Melanie's fate became even blurrier and the events leading up to her disappearance shrouded in mystery.

In the early morning hours of October 27th, John's body was discovered in the parking lot of Golf World, less than a mile from where he left the party. He had been shot once in the head, and his death was ruled a suicide. For fifteen (15) years, there would be no investigation into the suspicious circumstances that surrounded John's death.

It is well known among conspiracy theorists the fate the befell Journalist Danny Casolaro in the early morning hours of August 10, 1991 in Martinsburg, WV. The questions that seem to follow this case appear never ending, only leading to more. Why would a man, at the pinnacle of his research and career, kill himself in a bathtub at the Sheraton Hotel? In the days leading up to his demise, that Danny had traveled to Martinsburg, WV to facilitate the exchange of information which should have wrapped up his research for an upcoming book he had spent the last year writing. A book that, if proven to be true, would blow the whistle on multiple facets of government corruption among top ranking U.S. Officials. For years, many have speculated that it was this knowledge that ultimately got Danny killed. But what truly happened to Danny Casolaro?

Banking Executive LaRoy Gorman seemingly had the world on a string. Gorman, a self made man who scaled the proverbial ladder of success, sat on the board of multiple charities and was a well respected member of the Charleston Business Community. On the evening of November 12, 1982, Gorman and his girlfriend were leaving the Steak and Ale Restaurant when he was struck by three (3) gunshots as he attempted to enter his vehicle. His assailant promptly peeled out of the parking lot, never to be identified. But what started out as a fairly straightforward investigation into one of Charleston's most respectable citizens soon became muddled with confusion as revelations of Gorman's personal life were brought into question. Who would want to kill LaRoy Gorman?

On the evening of Friday, March 16, 1990, thirty four (34) year old Lynn Parker Priestley went out with some friends and a man she was casually dating for dinner and drinks. Lynn and her date broke away from the group for a stint of time, patronizing the Tidewater Grill in the Charleston Town Center. Lynn agreed to meet up with her friends at a popular bar, Spanky's about an hour later, but she would never show up. Despite the conflicting timelines of events, the facts of Lynns case are simple: she was last seen alive around 12:30am by a bailiff outside the Judicial Annex Building downtown. At the time of this encounter, she was said to have been arguing with a man who was presumably her date. Lynn's nude body was discovered five (5) days later by a fisherman on the banks of the Kanawha River between Chesapeake and Cheylan. What sequence of events took place after 12:30am in the early hours of March 17, 1990? How did Lynn Priestley end up dead on the side of a riverbank?

On the October 22, 1949, Rosina “Rosie” Fazio, left her residence in Charleston, WV to go to the market and collect groceries for her local beer garden and restaurant. The details of the events that follow are vague at best, blurred by conflicting news reports and slowly erased by the years of time. The story goes that Rosina had been thrown from a vehicle not once but twice, and had sustained life threatening injuries before finally being discovered around 11:30pm. She succumbed to her injuries several days later, but not before identifying her assailant, who to this day is shrouded in mystery.

Between 1962-1964 Southern West Virginia was being haunted by the presence of a seemingly “Mad Man.” Throughout the course of several years as many as seven (7) men disappeared while walking alone or hitchhiking in Fayette and Wyoming Counties. It wasn't until the butchered remains of Mike Rogers were discovered in December 1962 that panic spread throughout the small Appalachian Community and the legend of “Mad Butcher of West Virginia” took hold. Though only two (2) butchered bodies were ever discovered, the whereabouts of the others remain a mystery. Come along with the Cold Case Crew as they re-tell the story of the “Mad Butcher of West Virginia.” In this Part 1, we will discuss the victims and the circumstances surrounding the disappearances and follow up with the investigation and suspects in our next episode.
