Disappearance Moira McCall Anderson

On Feb. 23, 1957, 11-year-old Moira Anderson left her grandmothers Coatbridge, Scotland home to go one an errand for her grandmother. She was supposed to go and buy a birthday card and butter for her mother's birthday. This was unfortunately during one of the worst snowstorms that the area knew.

She was last seen around 5:15 p.m. on the bus by a couple. Police believed that the girl was abducted while traveling home on the bus and murdered. Her body was never found.

Two years later Janet, Moira's sister, was out on her lunch break from school. A man working under his hood asked her to hold his dipstick. While holding it the man groped her and she ran from him, but not before taking note of his registration plate. She reported it to the school and they called the cops. This caused the school to ask students to pair up if they leave.

Nothing was done of this incident, but it was later found out the man was Alexander Gartshore. At the time Alexander Gartshore was out on bail for raping his young babysitter. He was also the bus driver of the bus Moira was last seen on. 

When his daughter, Saundra Brown, was older she wrote a book Where There is Evil about suspecting him of killing young Moira. At one point he when she was bringing up his shortcomings as a father he told her that his father thought he killed Moira. That his father tried to convince him to go to the police to admit where Moira's body was. He said he didn't know the girl, but was the last person to talk to her. It wasn't a confession, but his own father was convinced he had done something to the girl. His own daughter even believed so. 

He died in 2006. He was a suspect before his death but wasn't prosecuted due to a lack of evidence. But in total it isn't really known what had happened that snowy night. 

Moira is a white female and was 22 at the time. He's 5'3" and 113 lbs. She was wearing a fawn-colored kilted Burberry coat, a blue winter scarf, a blue jumper, a lemon-colored cardigan, a thick tweed skirt, fawn socks, brown shoes and a navy-blue woolen pixie hat with red bands.

Murder of Elizabeth Bertolino

On the night of Feb. 20, 1982 48-year-old Elizabeth Bertolino was working at the Omni Hotel at 100 Techwood Dr. She was working as a freelance violinist and had a job there that night. She was last seen at 9:15 p.m. when she was leaving the convention center with her violin and purse. Soon after she entered the walkway that connected the Omni Hotel and the Ga. World Congress Center she was attacked. 

She had been walking alone and the conventions only a few feet behind as they heard her screams from both ends of the hallway. She was then found quickly and the people who were close said that a man ran off with a purse. They had taken her purse, but not her violin. 

It was found that Elizabeth had been stabbed during the robbery. Her husband claimed that she never would have fought against a mugger and the killing wasn't necessary for her purse. It's likely the motive for Elizabeth's murder was robbery as her purse had been taken, but the killer left behind her violin and her pocketbook was later found in the parking lot. 

 

I could not find if they found the man or if he's still considered a suspect in more recent articles. But at the time this was the suspect of the crime. He's a black male who was 18-22-years-old and was around 5'10" and around 155lbs. He had a short trimmed afro, brown eyes and medium-dark complexion He was possibly wearing a rust-colored windbreaker, dark pants, tennis shoes, and a blue hat.
