Once AGAIN, we have to say John Norman Collins didn't do THAT ONE either
This is getting weird people. Two murders long attributed to John Norman Collins now have to be pinned upon OTHER killers with DNA getting big ups in solving both. As some may recall one Gary Leiterman was convicted in 2005 for the murder of Jane Mixer in 1969. A drop of blood found on Ms. Mixer's panty hose came back as a match through a DNA database that Mr. Leiterman entered THREE DAYS after it became law for convicted felons to give DNA samples upon conviction in Michigan. Those close to the investigation debated whether Ms. Mixer was indeed one of Collins's victims as some of the usual similarities in the other Collins crime scenes didn't quite match up.
Now, Eileen Adams, kidnapped from her Sylvania Twp. home (Toldeo, Ohio and 35 miles south of Collins's home in Ypsilanti) in 1967 has, by DNA, been matched to a Robert Baxter Bowman, who lived in Ms. Adams neighborhood. On November 28 the Toledo Blade ran a story with the following information:
"A reverse paternity test and DNA found in the underwear of a Sylvania Township teenager murdered about 39 years ago led Toledo police to file an arrest warrant yesterday in the case.
Robert Baxter Bowman, 70, was charged yesterday with aggravated murder in the 1967 disappearance of 14-year-old Eileen Adams. Police said it may be the state’s oldest unsolved homicide that resulted in charges through DNA technology.
Mr. Bowman, who is not in custody, is accused of kidnapping, raping, and murdering the teen. He formerly resided in Florida, but police think he may now be among the homeless in the Riverside or San Diego areas of California.
Mr. Bowman’s marriage ended in divorce. His wife apparently knew the teen was in the basement and came forward with a statement in 1981 that he was involved in the slaying. She told police that she had waited to come forward because she was afraid. Without her, Detective Beavers said, police would not have identified him as a suspect.
Investigators went to Mr. Bowman’s house, but the basement and other areas had been remodeled. At the time, Detective Beavers said police found nothing of evidentiary value and talked with Mr. Bowman, but authorities didn’t have enough to arrest him."
If you have ANY information on this guy call the police. I'll include the picture of this jagoff that ran with the story. I mean SERIOUSLY, let's run this motherf***** to ground.
From a website discussing it. Here's WHY we're running him to ground
"Here is my understanding of this . . . but it is baffling nonetheless.
Eileen Adams (13) was taking the bus from Central to her sister's house in West Toledo near Sylvania and Douglas. Robert Baxter Bowman abducted her and took her to the home that he was sharing with his girlfriend/wife and their newborn daughter where he kept her captive repeatedly raping and torturing her.
The girlfriend/wife of Baxter Bowman went down to the basement to wash a baby's diaper and she heard strange noises coming from another room in the basement (I'm thinking maybe a dry cellar ...). She opened the door to the room and saw this poor girl hanging there. Suffering but not dead. The girlfriend/wife goes to leave (presumably to call the police) and is greeted by Baxter Bowman who says that now they have to kill the girl and if she doesn't help him, Baxter Bowman will kill their newborn daughter. The girlfriend/wife complies and they dump the poor little girl's body off the side of the road in southern Michigan.
The 13 abc story in 1989 said that the girlfriend/wife spontaneously went to the Toledo Police in 1980 or 1981 and came clean telling the whole story of finding the girl and helping to dispose of the body. The police questioned Baxter Bowman who did not deny nor admit the murder but acknowledged that this poor little girl had been in his house. Apparently, there was no physical evidence to link him to the murder (pre-DNA technology I guess - 1981) so they were unable to detain him. The 1989 story said that police found Baxter Bowman in Florida living in an abandoned restaurant with rats and snakes that he had trained to respond to his commands. He also had a small doll haning in one of the windows that was bound in the same way that the little girl's body had been bound and also had a nail or a needle going through the head too.
Tonight's 13 abc story said that the family of Eileen Adams had recently called cold case detectives and asked them to re-open the case which lead to DNA testing of some semen found on the poor little girl."
