Sad time in 1976 (Humansville: school, paid, kids)

[BooniesMom]

My husband recently told me of a double murder involving two girls, one he went to school with, when she was a freshman. They were found near Humansville, Mo in 1976. I have found a couple of articles on this case but just started looking. I was really just trying to see if anyone ever paid for what they did to these girls. The two girls were Hazel Hanna(h) and Cynthia Bell. Anyone remember this? I hope they caught someone.

No one was ever caught and punished for this crime. Many people were considered, and Sheriff Glenn Carson indicated he knew who was responsible, but had no proof to offer, therefore nothing could be done. It's an interesting story, with not much news coverage as I recall.

If I remember correctly, these girls (or at least one of them) were just a year older than me (my brother's age). Their bodies were found very close to my aunt & uncle's house. Lots of rumors, but to my knowledge, no one ever paid. I was too young and too unexposed in such a small community to comprehend how tragic this was until I had kids of my own around this age. I've googled this over the last few years but there is very little information on the web about this.
