I’m so sorry. I just can’t imagine not knowing after all the years. My dad was killed 51 years ago when I was less than 3 weeks old.

[@pikeman80]

The ultimate callous statement by the cop. He seemed to be more interested in saving evidence than having her alive.

[@peggould5943]

She was born on the 4th of July. U can guess the killer knew this, knew her, if fireworks were used to kill her. The obvious thing would be to examine who were the people she was familiar with, specifically, who was into fireworks &/or explosives.

[@Anna-iz1tt]

If it's true that Carol was upset when a 'friend' killed a squirrel with an explosive device..... and Carol had an explosive device shoved inside her body which was detonated causing brutal injuries then I would be taking a real close look at that 'friend'. How many people kill squirrels with explosive devices? He would be high up on my suspect list even if the police believe he was really saddened by her death.... that makes so difference, where was he during those unaccounted for last hours of Carol's life?

[@Peace-tk3gr]

I agree. To me it's a no-brainer.

Anyone who could kill animals without remorse with the same weapon Carol was killed with would be the most suspicious.

[@suegeew9727]

​@@Harley57 About 6 hours by car. Scary thought.

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

This is exactly what I was thinking. With DNA evidence from her nails, genetic genealogy seems the next best course of action. They did say that they had “no matches” so that implies that they have a DNA profile from the nails. I really hope that something happens as a result of this program.

[@Honeybee-ym5vi]

I think the genealogy route might bear some results. I would look at the man who said to his mom's friends the next day, before Carol was identified, that he had been drinking with the woman they found but wasn't unidentified in the news report at a bar the previous night. He also had his girl friend lie for him. He also left the state after the murder. I wonder if they ever contacted the FBI profiling unit to gain insight into what drove the murderer? The firecracker could have come from a drunken Carol vehemently telling the story of her friend killing the squirrel with a firecracker and her disgust with him, and the murderer--and I agree with the detective that this individual is someone who absolutely hates women--decided he would end her very life in this manner because he would have thought--hating women as he did--that she had no right to show anger or disgust toward her friend. I would get DNA from family members of this man. If not, I would get DNA from his garbage if they can legally do so. My stomach lurched each time the woman called this man. I had a very bad feeling.

Yea... you're speaking way too generally. Unless you want to go back in time to 1950 in Great Britain and put all the homosexuals in jail, and while you're at it, go back a little further, and return all those illegally escaped slaves to their rightful owners. Or just deliver their descendants, also once considered property.

[@ppiorkowski1502]

Depends on what you aiming at ? That's a very broad statement and can mean so many different things. As far as punishment ( I'm guessing that's what you're aiming at) you're absolutely right. That's why there's no statue of limitations for murder. But as far as trying to solve the crime the difference is night and day. The longer a crime stays unsolved the harder it will get.

[@ButtersCCookie]

I think he knows for sure who did. He never tried in all these years. I believe alot of people knew who. Rumor had it, she had an open home. Not nefarious but inviting. Everyone knew her. No reason why no one was caught. He knows. He knows. He knows.

If you're capable of killing a squirrel in such a despicable way, you're capable of killing a person. And the fact that she was killed in that way too..come on!! 🤦🏼‍♀️

I hope you do more documentaries!

[@ameyer9366]

What about genealogy DNA testing?

[@chloedoritoloco8537]

NY makes you get special permission…it’s not in widespread use like other states 😐 Hopefully the DA/Detectives have started that process. Carol deserves justice

What a senseless law to not be able to search family dna for a match I would like to hear the reason this exist what is this law aimed to protect?

[@mariajosemachadolima8610]

não tem DNA ginecológico, você não ouviu que ele explodiu a região? de burro ele não tem nada..ele massacrou ela..

[@jimmydee935]

I just commented saying the same thing. That has been having tremendous results. Reading a comment above, in this reply thread, it stated that NY makes you get special permission? SMH. I live in Albany, NY and it makes sense there would be hoops and hurtles to jump thru. NY NEVER makes shit easy. It’s absolutely appalling 😢

[@2steelshells]

To know a monster like this may be out and about is as horrific as this abomination.

[@John-tj4up]

Nothing is as horrific as a brutal murder like this.

[@jacquelinekoch7446]

Yes! OMG he’s actually out there. This is the scariest thing I’ve ever heard! It makes me so sick to even think about it! He’s got to be caught! R.I.P. Carol

[@sarasweightlossjourney1432]

Very frightening. I can only hope that whoever did this is no longer on this Earth or is in prison for life for something else. I can't imagine someone like this still living life after doing something this horrific

[@aj529]

Oh my heart is broke for this man. He needs answers. His Mother deserves answers and did not deserve this. God bless her son. He seems so lost. We need prosecutors with balls not excuses.

[@starrystarrynight6281]

This was very personal and they were prepared for this attack. People don’t just randomly obtain dynamite

[@pinup_charmer3348]

Right!?! You can obtain a firearm way easier then dynamite! It's very specific and not used on everyday job sites! Military and construction/demolition and the former can't access it easily either.

[@laylahla5345]

the dynamite is all the evidence needed to pursue walt, he blows up squirrels with dynamite (sociopath) and then a few months later she is blown up with dynamite? Do you need anything else? there are no coincidences like that.

[@annalisajames6558]

This is by far the most heinous crime I’ve heard of. I pray that her killer is brought to justice and that her son can find peace.

[@allisonchains113]

Thank you for doing an amazing job making this documentary. I think most of us here-after watching this documentary-know who did this heinous crime against Ryan.

[@Marsand100]

So man says he was drinking in a named bar with her before she is identified , gives false alibi, moves away and won't talk to reporter or answer " no I didn't kill her". Not sounding guilty at all

[@derekjlight]

I grew up 10-15 minutes from where this happened and was 12 at the time, have never heard of it until very recently. What an absolutely horrific death. I hope and pray for the family that the killer is brought to justice.

[@MasterofScrutiny]

What a terrible crime. I hope it is solved and I hope this documentary prods someone to come forward with information.

[@mythoughtsnotyours.8140]

That friend that killed the squirrel with dinamite , that dude probably did it. Maybe she called him to pick her up and he was upset she was drunk, and perhaps he lost his cool while beaten her up.

[@Howsoonisnow-to5nv]

💯he was clearly a psychopath

[@jocelyneallaire1034]

I agree the friend that used a dinamite to kill a squirrel should be a suspect and should be further investagated. Many loop poles in this case. Very sad for her son. RIP Carol

Bro really said his mom was a real firecracker. I would never say that after something like this.

[@stephanielloyd4053]

It's called coping with trauma with humour. Not my taste, but I didn't lose my Mum in such a tragic way.

[@klgore63]

She was born on the Fourth of July and probably the comment was made often as an endearment about her during her life.

[@mystifiedmargot1970]

The term "firecracker" is a term of endearment but can be a slight also. Here in Britain it usually means the woman is quite a strong person and doesn't stand for any cheek so will give as good as she gets.

[@CRUCIFi777]

Since it was so easily said it kinda makes sense that the perp would’ve known that too if familiar with her.

So he passed the polygraph. Because if not you would say he didn't. Polygraphs are such BS.

[@snicky58]

They're especially BS when someone who has no conscience -- a psychopath -- takes one. I absolutely hate how so many people refer to polygraphs as "lie detector tests."
