Murder of Helen Duffner


On April 27, 1977 the body of 63-year-old Helen Duffner was found off the Mount Rose Highway south of Reno, Nevada. She was found near an old shack and her 1964 white Chevy Nova was parked nearby. Helen had been shot twice in the back and once in the back of the head. It was described as an execution-type murder. Witnesses stated they heard the gunshots that morning. The area at the time was known as Mercury Mine and was frequented by hikers, dog walkers, motorcyclists, and 4-wheel-drive areas. 

Helen was from Santa Rosa, California but was living out of her vehicle in Nevada for a while.

  2. I'm assuming her hair matches via D.N.A. to me as my mother. Because that is what my real mothers hair looks like in 1316 when she is murdered with in 30 minutes of forced to give a cesarian section birth to me and my sister. The world says my sister lived to be 12. Of course, 13 is adult in 1316 and Philip V who takes her cant have that.
