    Betsy Aardsma, 39-year-old Cold Case



    This is an interesting murder mystery from 1969. Betsy Aardsma was a woman ahead of her times. I would would love to see her case solved. It will take you a few minutes to read the story.

    How horrible. Her then fiance, Dr Wright does not seem to have been terribly close. He wasn't going to take time off from studying to attend her funeral until others convinced hm that it was the right thing to do. Cold, cold individual he was.

    I find it odd that her family wouldn't talke to the people behind that story as well....it could help solve it...I would be talking from the roof tops to whomever would listen!

    That was a fascinating read! Very strange, it's like just that one thing is missing.

    Maybe a total random murder? But....the killing blow was so swift and sure. And no noise, no scream, nothing. Weird. I doubt we'll ever truly know.

    Looks like an interesting case. Thanks for the hint! That book below might be worth to read too. Any comments from those who had read it already?

    Someone who has been researching the case has a suggestion, but the police refuse to call that person a suspect.......

    I would be very wary of hanging anybody on the recollections of a professor that are only jogged decades later by some new coverage of the case, ditto the nephew; but someone committed this crime.......
