Ten Years Down The Road
The "Teddy Bear Killer" dream came to me in 1995, and lay dormant and forgotten until 2003, when the first actual reminder occurred.
"The Old House" that Wild Bill lived in when I knew him - and where he was living "in the dream," no longer stood. Wild Bill had moved from the property in 1998, but his son remained there until it was sold, and it was eventually torn down.
Wild Bill remained in Little Hocking with "Neon Woman" until the property where her mobile home was located, was also sold, and they had to move.
Things were pretty quiet for awhile. I continued to monitor the news and search for dead women and girls, because I had a feeling there were several that I hadn't noticed, and I felt that someone needed to be keeping track of the cases just to make sure they didn't have a lot of common denominators - which, might indicate a serial killer!

Mysde And I
By 2005 the "Duplication" cases had grown to a phenomenal number, and I wasn't certain that I was aware of all of them!
In a few instances the cases were deemed accidental or suicidal - but I didn't pay much attention to that because if I was right, no one else on earth was watching this close enough to be able to determine whether the cases were connected or not, and if I was right, I was convinced that the killer knew I was watching, and would make absolutely certain that he didn't leave any evidence that would indicate the cause of death was "murder."
He was pretty good - or at least that's what I thought.
When Misty Blu Gwinner was found murdered in April of 2005, I saw the name "Misty - Mysde," and suspected that our killer was in the process of symbolically murdering off my friend who now lived in southern Ohio, and whom I called "Mysde" in my stories.
I have devoted two web pages to the Misty / Mysde strike, so I won't repeat most of it here, but I will say that there are a couple of things in her case that have a very familiar ring to them.
News Article: "The homicide victim that was located on the 700 block of North Cleveland Road, Lexington, KY on Tuesday, April 05, 2005" --
'Kentucky' is the first clue: That's the last place that Wild Bill ever went on vacation with my husband and me. I reported his bizarre behavior to local police, and have mentioned it in several places on this web site and in my book series. [2007 note: Please see the Amanda Tusing case]
Emily Ullman was also connected to Kentucky - and her murder case remains unsolved:
Prostitutes & Drugs: Reportedly, Gwinner and Ullman were both into prostitution to support their drug habits. This was something I noticed years ago in several other cases.
One news article concerning Gwinner states -
"When friends last saw Misty, she was excited about meeting a man from Kentucky who was going to help her get her life straightened out. Then she disappeared."
This sounds very similar to the Patsy Sparks case - Patsy, a teenage girl who lived in Marietta, Ohio [Washington County] was into drugs and prostitution [according to family sources] and had recently met "an older man" who had taken her to Cleveland, Ohio and who was going to "help her get her life straightened out." - And then she disappeared, only to be found murdered some 30 months later in Noble County. Patsy's case remains unsolved:
Patsy's cousin Terri Roach was [reportedly] seeing an "older man - twice her age, with salt & pepper hair and a full beard. He was going to "help her" too - and then she disappeared and was found murdered a few days later. Her 1990 case also remains unsolved.
And then there was Emily Ullman - the only one of the murdered girls that I have actually been able to trace directly back to Wild Bill. Emily attended college in Kentucky, and she went to New Orleans for the summer [1998] - and reports say that she was "traveling with an older man," who some assumed was her father. I have been informed it positively was not her father: Emily's case remains unsolved:
In spite of the similarities and common denominators within these cases, as well as several others, law enforcement has never seemed to believe that there was any possibility that the victims were all murdered by the same person, staunchly supporting the theory that each was killed by a different man -- none of which has ever been identified or located.
Needless to say, I do not share that theory. I believe we should be working with other states, and diligently trying to determine if in fact we shouldn't be looking for a serial killer.
Of course, that's just my personal opinion - but, as you can see, I have no difficulty in expressing that opinion, or for that matter, presenting the circumstantial and/or incriminating evidence to support my own opinion and theory!

The Other Woman
Within six days of the discovery of Misty Gwinner's murdered body, another woman was found. The details were so skimpy that I searched for days trying to determine exactly where the woman was found. Her discovery in "Anderson Township," was only casually mentioned within the articles concerning Gwinner, but I didn't know if it was Ohio or Kentucky.
There was virtually no description of the woman - no height, weight, hair or eye color - no description of clothing - or lack of clothing - absolutely nothing that anyone could use to determine if they had ever seen the woman - or where they might have seen her.

Two Teddy Bears
In late October [2005] - six months after the discovery of the two bodies - Mysde located a couple of news articles on the net and sent them to me. I scoured each one in hopes of finding a little more information about the still unidentified woman who had been found within days of Gwinner's discovery.
Unidentified Remains.Net had the most information about Misty Blu Gwinner, but even they had very little information concerning the other woman, except to say she was found just one hundred miles from where Gwinner had been found.
Local 12 News in Fayette County gave another clue or two: "Two children holding teddy bears, charms with the names Sandra and Sara. The woman found in Anderson Township [Hamilton County] along the Little Miami River loved them enough to wear the charms around her neck. Someone was cold enough to stab her in the heart."
* "Someone likely believes he got away with murder in the Tri-State. In just six days, two women were found dead, both discovered within 100 miles of each other."
"Dr Emily Craig, Kentucky's Forensic Anthropologist: "So many times when it comes to the missing and unidentified, the only person that knows they're missing is the one that killed them and they're not about to report them missing."
"Police think the young woman with the name Jaden on her neck [this was Misty Gwinner] was [[tossed over this bridge]] not far from 1-75 south. Two Jane Does found within a week and 100 miles of each other. They may be unidentified just because the killers drove a bit before dumping them." [[see the Tusing case]]
Kentucky's Forensic Anthropologist, Dr. Craig: "I think America has been lulled into this misconception there is a wonderful computer and wizard of oz manning it 24 hours a day that's going to match missing and unidentified. It's just not true."
If you have any information that can help investigators identify these two women, call CrimeStoppers at 352-3040. You don't have to give your name to get cash for clues: Coroner's office 859-252-5691:
Dr. Craig recently spoke to representatives from the Justice Department, F.B.I. and death investigators in Philadelphia about the need for a national tracking system for unidentified remains, a system available to anyone.

* Well, apparently 'Someone' was right .... he did get away with murder in the Tri-State. As of the latest update to this page, the cases remain unsolved. I suspect they always will.

It All Sounds So Familiar
A map search revealed that there is no Hamilton County in Kentucky! Ohio has a Hamilton County, which is located to the west of Jackson County, and includes the Cincinnati area. I assume this is where the unidentified woman was found, and I'd like to know what makes anyone think there might be a connection between two cases in two separate states, a hundred miles apart!
Early reports showed that Gwinner was familiar with the Cincinnati area, had relatives living there and had been arrested for prostitution there on more than one occasion. That reminded me of Roda Snyder and Mae Belle Clark - both from Athens County, but both "working" in Parkersburg, West Virginia at the time of their murders.
Perhaps someone was transporting hookers - "helping them" to make more money. Getting them closer to him, so that when the time was right, he could make his move undetected.
There again, the similarities were startling.
Gwinner found along a creek, and the other found along the river. Barbara Barnes was found in a creek and Stephanie Evans was found in the Scioto River; Marie Blough had been found beside the Ohio River - not all were hookers, but there certainly was enough common denominators to make me suspect it was the pattern or signature of a serial killer.
News reports said the unidentified woman was stabbed in the heart, but failed to say how many times she had been stabbed, or if the "heart wound" was the only wound on her body.
I'd venture to guess she was stabbed more than once, and I'd like to know if it was six times --- or, if she had 1 stab wound in the heart and a V cut in her skin somewhere near the stab wound, which would be equal to the Roman numeral VI, or 6.
I've waited for nine years for the "6" to show up, and cannot help but wonder if this is the case.

A Dream Fulfilled?
Can a dream reveal victims and a killer? Most people will say no. I'm not one of them, because I've seen too many dreams come true.
But, as in the old saying - "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink," - so it is with mankind. The dreams can show us what's coming, but neither I nor the dreams can force mankind to believe or accept. They can "lead the way," but only for those willing to follow.
Looking back at the Teddy Bear Killer dream, I see several things that make me believe that the dream was in fact a forewarning.
At the time of the dream, I didn't know that Wild Bill owned a slide projector and a movie screen. I didn't learn that until "Chevette Woman" called me shortly after he ran her off the property. That's also when I learned that he had a picture of me wearing a white fur coat, a white fur hat, and white boots trimmed in white fur, while walking a big dog with black fur!
Even when I interpreted the dream, I'd mentioned that all the "chunks of fur" that Donny and I found, were "natural colored." And I said that I didn't understand why I referred to the chunks of fur as teddy bears because they didn't look like teddy bears. In other words - they could not be identified. This reminds me that Gwinner and the other woman were "unidentified" for some time, and that even now, the other woman remains unidentified.
Everyone knows that teddy bears come in all colors, and all sizes. For example, my bathroom is decorated in teddy bears, Victorian dolls and unicorns. Among the "natural" colored ones I also have a Forrest green teddy bear and a pink one in my bath room. So, I conclude that the fact that all the chunks of fur in the dream were "natural" colored so that I would recognize "teddy bears" that were connected to "color" - isn't it odd that Misty Gwinner's middle name was "Blu" and that her murder, even though several days apart and some one hundred miles apart and even in a different state, has been "connected" to this unidentified woman wearing two teddy bear charms around her neck?
The work boots: I believe the work boots that I wore showed, not only that the cases couldn't be "tied together" ten years ago, but that after "Donny" fled from the property [2003], and while Judy was still driving her black vehicle [ which she is ], that I would be "right," and the time would be "right." It was the right string that dangled from the vehicle as we fled the property.
Also, the work boots shows something about the killer of the woman. He is a "working man." He wears, brown, leather, lace-up work boots.
But - he wasn't "working," at the time of the murders! He was "resting!" In other words, it was his day/night off, but more importantly, he was "working" in the area where one or both women disappeared from - or was taken to. Isn't it ironic that Wild Bill works on the river and [when I knew him] wore brown, leather, lace-up work boots?
The names "Sara and Sandra" on the teddy bear charms reminds me of two more "unsolved" cases - Sarah Boehm and Sandra Stump.{NOTE: There has NEVER been one word on the net about the murder of Sandra Stump.}
The old man: In the 1990's and at the time of my Teddy Bear Killer dream, no one would have considered Wild Bill an "old man." He was 42 years old but really didn't look his age, and with a dye job on his hair and beard, could easily knock off ten years. That is not the case today. Today, he is mostly bald on top, completely gray/white hair and beard, has gained about 50 pounds and most assuredly would be considered an "old man," by any young woman the age of Misty Gwinner.
In recent weeks I received word from a woman who insists she saw Wild Bill at the Holiday Inn, and he was wearing "Harley" clothes [ everyone knows he rides a Honda! ] and that he was bald! This reminds me of my daughter's {that's Christina Anderson!] dream - The Balding Man, which can also be found on this web site.
{2008 NOTE: Wild Bill now owns a blue Harley!!}
The same woman informed me that Wild Bill got up and sang a couple of songs at the Holiday Inn. Must have been karaoke night, or something. This surprised me because I know he likes to dance, but I never heard him sing - never once.
I wrote and asked the woman what songs he sang because this could be very important. However, I received no answer.
With his Harley hat on, Wild Bill still looks like a big 'ol teddy bear - but he isn't. Only a handfull of people really know what he is.
