Raleigh County Deputies Need Help In Cold Case Posted Thursday, February 15, 2007 ; 05:40 PM Updated Thursday, February 15, 2007 ; 06:00 PM Raleigh County deputies are asking for help in solving a nearly 25-year-old murder. Story by Rontina McCann Email | Bio BECKLEY -- In November of 1993, a man hunting in a remote area of Bolt Mountain near the Wyoming County line found a skull in the woods. Fourteen years later, the victim is still unknown. Raleigh County Chief Deputy Steve Tanner continues working the case. Along with the remains, clothes, a watch, ring and keys were also discovered. Tanner says after forensic tests, it was determined the body had been there since the early 80's, possibly 1982. When there's activity surrounding an unidentified victim of a murder case, families grieve and hope they'll find out what happened. "They relive the event. They're traumatized again. They can't sleep, and you hate to do that you have to keep pushing it and moving forward but it's so hard on the family," said Tanner. The remains found were that of a white female, she was about 5-feet-4 inches tall and police believe she weighed 115 pounds. She was between 30 and 45 and at the time of her death and wore a size 4 in clothes. If you have any information in this case or another missing person's case, Tanner urges you to contact police http://www.wvnstv.com/story.cfm?func=viewstory&storyid=20111 |

May Margret Rest in Peace ![]() http://www.wvva.com/story/35904384/2017/07...r-old-cold-case Investigators identify body in nearly 40-year-old cold case By Annie Moore, WVVA Multimedia Journalist - Beckley newsroom Posted: Jul 17, 2017 5:12 PM EDT BECKLEY, W.Va. (WVVA) Her disappearance rocked the tight-knit community of Beaver in September of 1977. Nearly forty years ago, Margaret Dodd, 27, left her job at the Raleigh Mall in Beckley and never made it home. At the time of her disappearance, two witnesses spotted Dodd en route to her Beaver home pulling off at the old Amoco gas station on Route 19. The father and child who lived nearby said they saw a second car pulled in behind her and a struggle ensued. The witnesses said they left to call police, but by the time they returned, Dodd and her attacker were gone. "They knew something was very very wrong," recalled retired Beckley Police Chief of Detectives Frank Pack, who worked 22 hour days in the weeks following the abduction. Pack said one of the witnesses described her attacker as 'the Fonz' off of Happy Days, a popular television show at the time. There were many leads during that time, he said, but no body until now. It would not be until nearly 40 years later that investigators would get a break in the case. In January, Raleigh County Sheriff's Capt. Larry Lilly decided to take a closer look at the case of a 1993 body found on Bolt Mountain. "There were loose ends," said Capt. Lilly, and he brought in Dodd's family to compare jewelry, clothes, and mitochondrial DNA found on the Bolt body. (Mitochondrial DNA testing was not available at the time of Dodd's disappearance). Dodd's family recognized the items, said Lilly, but it was not until this week that he learned the mitochondrial DNA was a match. "Now, there's people we want to talk to. I've talked a lot with Sgt. Daniel and we're going to be actively working this," said Capt. Lilly, who is working closely with Raleigh County's new Cold Case Committee and Sgt. R.A. Daniel with the West Virginia State Police. Sgt. Daniel said he was included in the investigation because of his familiarity with several of the people who were interviewed or witnesses in the case. "It's difficult, but not impossible to convict someone when you don't have a body. But now we have that missing piece." Why were Margaret Dodd's remains on Bolt Mountain? What was her killer's connection to the area? Those are the questions investigators need help from the public in answering. Those with information can call CrimeStoppers at 255-STOP or visit their new website athttp://CrimeStoppersWV.com/. Tips may remain anonymous. |
