April 30, 1970 Virginia Beach, Virginia Baby Doe

On April 30, around 10:30 a.m. the body of a baby girl found lying on the water's edge at Sandbridge Beach in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It seems as if she was asphyxiated and then the killer (likely her parent or parents) tossed the body in the ocean. It's likely the body floated from north of where she was found.

She was estimated to be 0 to 12 months old and white. She was 1'8" and 6 lbs. She had brown hair.

November 14, 1920 Woolley, England Baby Jane Doe


On the afternoon of November 14, 1920, a farm laborer saw a green taxi-cab coming from the direction of Wakefield to Woolley, England. He said that the driver was wearing a uniform and that the nearside was a woman. He hadn't realized what the people in the taxi had done.

Another witness stated that while walking down Mill Lane towards Barnsley Rd. they saw the taxi pass the end of the lane. He saw someone closing a door and continued driving. What was left by the road was a pillow slip with a dead newborn baby girl inside.

The girl had been born alive but may have died due to inattention at birth. It's likely that the baby was abandoned like this to hide the fact the mother was even pregnant.

Earl & Clarissa Gonzales

On September 2, 1999, 51-year-old Earl Gonzales's girlfriend, MaryJo Resse went to his home in Questa, New Mexico. Inside she found the bodies of Earl and his daughter 10-year-old Clarissa. Earl was likely shot with his own .45 Ruger Blackhawk, which was missing from the scene and Clarissa was assaulted and strangled to death. There was little evidence and seemed to be no motive in this case. 

A week before their deaths Earl had confronted a few people he suspected about his vehicle that had just been stolen. His vehicle was located a month later with two juveniles and they were charged with the theft.
