Detectives Compare Notes On Murder Mysteries
LAST UPDATE: 11/28/2005 6:43:38 PM
Cold Case detectives in Ohio and kentucky are comparing two murder mysteries. The disappearances eight years ago of two dark haired young women in two months. There are similarities in the Laney Gwinner case in Butler County and Erica Fraysure in Bracken County. The one big difference is that Fraysure is still missing. Local 12's Deborah Dixon has exclusive details from the tiny town still haunted by the teen's disappearance.
8 years of changes in this tiny Kentucky town are subtle. The town restaurant has changed hands. And most of the regulars at the so called gossip table have died, so has talk about 17 year-old Erica Fraysure's disappearance.
Angie White, Carbo's Cafe: "Now everything's went on with their ways, thinking well, some day we'll know."
Missing flyers used to be up in every store. They got too yellow and torn to stay up. Erica's tattered poster is still here on the Bracken County Sheriff's door. It has haunted every cop who worked it. The Kentucky State Detective on the case now plans to meet with Butler County Sheriff's Cold Case Detective Frank Smith, who started working the Laney Gwinner murder case five months ago. She disappeared from Fairfield two months after Erica in 1997, something few people here in Brooksville noticed.
"I watch the news, I don't remember that case."
Smith sees similarities.
"Erica's car was found in a field outside Brooksville. Laney's car has never been found. Her body was found in the Ohio River. Erica's was never found."
Smith thinks the Ohio River is one tie to the two cases. Laney's body was found in the river, and one of the rumors here in Brooksville puts Erica's body there, too. Erica Fraysure's story does come up around halloween near the anniversary of her disappearance. Like Laney Gwinner, the stories have no endings, yet.
Deborah Dixon Local 12.
