Catch my Killer

This week’s story occurred in Lewiston, Idaho. It’s considered one of the oldest missing persons cases in Idaho. The mystery began on August 31, 1976 when Patricia Lee Otto left her home, vanished and has never been seen again. It’s believed she was most likely murdered by her husband Ralph Otto. For nearly five decades, her daughter Suzanne Timms has been trying to figure out what happened to her mother. Suzanne and her late older sister Natalie were always told by their dad that their mom abandoned the family. As Suzanne got older, she realized that her mother didn’t abandon the family. She began to believe that her father had killed her mother and hid her body. Suzanne remembered back to when she was a child and saw her father physically assault her mother. She never saw her mother again. As a child, she didn’t realize that she may have witnessed her father murder her mother. It’s a memory that haunts her today. Suzanne Timms is on a journey to identify her mother's body and find out what happened to her back in 1976. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Lewiston Police Department 208-746-0171.

Originally from South Carolina, he was stationed at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego. He served aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln since 2018.For the police, there is not much information to go on.

This week’s story occurred on March 28, 2021 when a 23-year-old mother of two named Faithe Ely was found deceased on highway 56 near Wewoka, Oklahoma. Her boyfriendfound her body. He claimed she became angry with him and began walking down the highway barefoot to cool off. The mother of Faithe’s boyfriend met her son at the death scene and called 911 for help. Faithe’s boyfriend told law enforcement that he had heard a vehicle hitting a speed bump. He became concerned and then began looking for Faithe. That’s when he found her body. There was some confusion about how Faith died. And her death is still in dispute today. Originally, authorities believed Faithe was the victim of a hit and run. But her body didn’t have the appearance of someone who was hit by an automobile. According to Faithe’s mother, there wasn’t any glass, plastic or pieces of a vehicle left behind. There were also no skid marks and Faithe’s body didn’t have any car parts embedded in her body. She also said there was no road rash which is an abrasion caused by friction. It happens to your skin when it gets scraped off by a hard surface. Her family will remember Faithe as a young mother who was a creative free spirit with much spunk. Do you know what happened to this young mother? If you have any tips about Faithe’s death, please contact the Oklahoma Highway Patrol at (405) 425 - 2323. And if you would like more information about this case, you can visit the Justice for Faithe FB page.Note* Opening audio provided by Channel 4 Oklahoma News (https://kfor.com)Please also visit my website for more information about my true crime and paranormal newspaper columns at www.themarcabe.com.

On January 6, 2012, law enforcement and firefighters responded to a house fire west of Glengary, West Virginia. Inside the home were the remains of 56 year old David Hutzler and his nine year old son James "Macky" Hutzler. Initially, police classified the case as a murder-suicide. David Hutzler was believed to have shot his son, set their home on fire, and then killed himself. Police reported that the father and son both died from gunshot wounds to their heads, and the boy suffered a second "glancing" gunshot wound on his chin.Kelli Hutzler, David Hutzler's daughter, refused to believe this. She insisted that her dad could not have committed such a heinous act. I asked Kelli why law enforcement ruled the case a murder suicide. She told me that her dad had no reason to kill himself and her brother. She also revealed that there was no murder weapon at the scene. According to her, the law enforcement theory that it was a murder suicide is incorrect because there was no weapon present. Kelli has taken issue with the West Va. State police for their initial ruling. For over a year, locals and the public believed David had murdered his son before killing himself. Eventually, law enforcement realized their mistake. The case was then ruled a double homicide. Kelli told me she finds it disturbing that some people still believe the case was murder suicide, even a year after the case was reclassified as a double homicide. Currently, there is an individual who is walking around unpunished after shooting a 9-year-old cub scout to death. Now on with the story of James and David Hutzler as told by David’s daughter Kelli Hutzler. Do you know who killed this father and son? Do you have any information about their killer? It is Kelli's mission to find out who killed her dad and brother. Those with information about the Hutzler double homicide are asked to contact the West Virginia State Police at 304-267-0002 or 304-267-0000. You can also call Crime Stoppers at 304-267-4999.

This week’s case involves a young man from Nashville, Tennessee who was only 24 when he was murdered in front of a local store called the ET Market at 4000 Gallatin Pike in Nashville. On December 7, 2017. Eric McClendon left his house to go to a local store. He would unknowingly say goodbye to his mother Susie McClendon for the last time. He left with a friend named Gregory “Boo” Smith who was 18. Sometime between the time the men left and Eric’s shooting, at least one other man climbed inside the car with Eric and his friend. While in the parking lot, the passenger turned around and shot Eric who was sitting in the backseat. According to Eric’s mother, there was video footage from the store. She asked someone from the store to describe what he saw on the video. He said the footage showed a man turning around and shooting Eric. The driver, Gregory Smith was also shot. After the shooting, the shooter exited the car and ran away. Eric’s mother told me there was also another person who also exited the vehicle. Eric died from his injuries but Smith survived. Susie told me Smith witnessed Eric’s killing since he was in the front seat with the shooter. However, no one has been charged with killing Eric. Do you know who killed Eric? Do you have any information about his killer? He was loved by his family and deserves justice. His daughter will grow up without ever knowing him. His mother will never be able to hug her son or tell him how much she loves him. If you have any information about Eric McClendon’s homicide, please contact Crime Stoppers at (615) 742-7463 or Sgt. Hinkle of the Nashville Police Department at (615) 862-7065. You can also visit the Justice for Red Facebook with additional information about Eric McClendon.

Andrea Knabel is a mother of two who mysteriously vanished in August 2019 from Louisville, Kentucky. You may have heard about Andrea’s case as there was a documentary released about her disappearance. The documentary is called Finding Andrea on Discovery Plus. For this story, I spoke to Erin Knabel, who is Andrea’s sister. She was the last person known to have seen her sister. August 13, 2019 is the official date of Andrea’s disappearance. After Andrea got locked out of her mother’s house, she walked to her sister Erin’s home. Andrea was staying with her mother at the time. The sisters lived within walking distance. After Andrea arrived at her sister’s home she was agitated about not being able to get into her mother’s house. Andrea then left her sister's home and began to walk home. Erin watched her sister walk away from her house and that was the last anyone has seen of Andrea. Erin believes it’s highly possible that one of Andrea’s shady friends may know something about her disappearance. Erin said her sister was reliable, kind, loving and an amazing big sister. Erin and her family have worked with law enforcement and brought in a private eye to help find Andrea. Although Erin wasn’t completely satisfied with the documentary about her sister, she said she still hopes it will bring attention to her sister’s case and reach someone who can provide an answer to what happened to Andrea. What happened to Andrea Knabel? Did she walk away from her life or did someone harm her? If you know anything about Andrea’s whereabouts, I ask that you reach out to the family’s PI or law enforcement and provide a tip. If you would like to provide a tip, please contact PI Tracy Leonard at (502) 618-9337 or the Louisville Police Department at (502) 574-7120.

This week I interviewed David Keck, a gay man from Tennessee who shouldn’t even be alive to be speaking to me. It’s actually an act of God that he’s even alive. In 2014, David had met with some friends at a bar called Bullfeathers located in Knoxville, Tennessee. The friends had gotten together to have some drinks and participate in Karaoke. While on his way to the restroom, a man unknown to David engaged in a brief conversation with him. David said he believes they were discussing neck ties because David designed custom neck ties at the time. Thinking the man was interested in purchasing neckties, David gave the stranger a business card.David then went back to his friends and thought nothing else about the stranger. David then left the bar before closing and drove home. Shortly after arriving home, he heard a knock on the door. It was the stranger at the bar. He had followed David home. Moments after opening the door, everything went black. The stranger physically assaulted David and raped him.David was beaten so bad, his attacker assumed he had killed David. He would end up confessing to the mother of his children that he had murdered a gay man. He also stopped at another bar and told patrons he had killed a gay man. Eighteen hours later, the police arrived at David’s apartment. They found his apartment walls and floors covered in blood. The police officers that arrived looked at David’s body in a pool of his own blood. They assumed he was deceased until they saw his foot move. The man who nearly killed David was eventually arrested and charged with assaulting David. For unknown reasons, he wasn’t charged with a hate crime. David is also a podcaster who has a show called Surviving Abuse where he speaks to survivors of horrific events. To learn more about David and his podcast, visit his website at https://survivingpodcast.com/ or you can find his Surviving Abuse podcast on all major platforms. Just remember that you are not alone and if someone sexually assaulted you, it’s not your fault. You are a victim.

She never showed up and has never been seen again.Manno is considered a prime suspect in Oehling's disappearance. However, he claims she is alive and had been in touch with her. He claims to know where she is, but refuses to tell police where or cooperate with them. He has a lengthy criminal record which includes convictions for arson, theft, auto theft, statutory sexual assault, reckless endangerment, corruption of minors, and aggravated assault. He is currently behind bars.In the days following Kaylene's disappearance, Manno sent explicit photographs of Kaylene to both her father and her 17-year-old sister. Manno has since been charged with corruption of minors. In addition, Kaylene wrote on her Facebook account that Manno had committed a robbery. In less than an hour, Kaylene's Facebook account was deactivated.

This week's story focuses on a 19 year old Houston, Texas man named Alexander "AJ" Silva III. His relatives say the last time they saw him was either April the 5th or 6th of 2021. Nearly a year has passed since anyone has heard from Silva. Friends and family say there is a reason for this. Although AJ's case is considered a missing person's case, his family claims that he is deceased. Silva was charged with felony retaliation. As part of his bond conditions, he was ordered to wear an ankle monitor. The family assumed since AJ had a monitoring device, then law enforcement would always know his whereabouts. However, they would learn this wasn't the case because law enforcement wasn't always monitoring him. He would eventually disappear and neither his family nor law enforcement know where he is. For this story, I spoke to Paul Vasquez, who is AJ's uncle. After being frustrated with law enforcement's efforts, Paul has traveled between his New Mexico home and Houston to perform his own investigation into his nephew's disappearance. Paul found a young woman who witnessed someone chase and shoot AJ to death. She even showed Paul where AJ's deceased body lie after he died. Paul recorded the woman's statement and shared it with authorities. According to Paul, the Houston Police Department have discredited the witness. However, Paul believes her because she had nothing to gain by lying and he felt she risked her life to share this information. Paul has since interviewed many witnesses and has pieced together the final days of his nephew. He told me he doesn't have a good relationship with Houston PD and they will no longer speak to him. At this point, he has said he just wants justice for his nephew and for police to acknowledge that AJ is not a missing person but indeed deceased. The family is determined to find out what happened to AJ. They are worried that law enforcement will not give this case attention because he is a young black man with a troubled past. According to AJ's electronic monitoring records, he was at a warehouse on Lumberdale Road in Houston. And it's this warehouse where a witness told Paul Vasquez she witnessed AJ's homicide. If you know what happened to AJ Silva III, please report your tips to the HPD at (713) 884-3131. And if you would like to know more about this case, please visit the Justice for AJ Facebook page.

This week's story focuses on a Pennsylvania teenager named Alicia Markovich who was 15 when she vanished on April 26, 1987 from Dunn Avenue in Blairsville, Pennsylvania. At the time, she was visiting with her father John Markovich. This year will be the 35th year anniversary of Alicia's disappearance. Unfortunately, Alicia's mother, Marcie Smith, has long given up hope that she will ever see her daughter alive again. The day seemed like any other day. Alicia, an eighth-grader at Windber High School in Somerset County, left with her father to spend time with him at his Blairsville home. Alicia's parents were divorced. It wasn't an overnight stay. Alicia was supposed to return home that same evening. Supposedly, Alicia and her father got into an argument around 5pm. Allegedly, Alicia stormed out of the house and has never been seen again. She is listed as a missing person with state police and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. But everyone who was close to Alicia don't believe she is alive. For this story I spoke to Chrissie Boyer, who was Alicia's childhood friend. Chrissie is one of Alicia's advocates and is also close friends with Alicia's mother Marcie. I also spoke a Laura Valdez, who has been friends with Marcie since childhood. She knew Alicia from birth and used to take Alicia out for pizza when she was a child. I also reached out to John Markovich and his wife and asked them to participate in this episode. Neither responded to my request. I also want to state that many people think John Markovich knows more about his daughter's fate than he has ever said publicly. However, I must state that no criminal charges have ever been brought against him and he must be considered innocent of any wrong doing in the eyes of the law. If you know what happened to Alicia Markovich, please contact Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-472-8477 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678.

In July of 2006, Shawn O'Brien was a 34 years old carpenter who didn’t show up for work on Saturday, July 22. Around 6 o'clock that night, his sister called 911. She had found him lying in a pool of blood on the floor of his Pleasant Street basement apartment. First responders weren’t sure what happened to Shawn. They believed he had possibly had a seizure. Did he fall and hit his head? The police didn’t consider the basement a crime scene so they didn’t close it off immediately and investigate it. Police would come back at a later time to investigate the basement. The autopsy would be inconclusive but ruled that O’Brien had blunt force trauma to his head. And it didn’t seem likely it came from a fall. “This is a classic sign of somebody being assaulted,” said Dr. Timothy Gallagher, an independent forensic pathologist. Gallagher also said, he cannot with one hundred percent certainty rule out that it was an accident, because there are no witnesses to corroborate what exactly happened in his final moments.But, Gallagher does not believe O’Brien just fell to the floor. “Most likely not,” he told the NBC 10 I-Team. “When a person does fall, their injuries are just one-sided, they do not hit the ground and turn over and hit the ground again and turn over and hit the ground again. They hit the ground once, creating one injury,” said the forensic pathologist.The police have two persons of interest. A man named Armand Rouleau rented the apartment to O’Brien. The other person of interest is Armand’s then girlfriend, Lynn Hallal.Today, Natalia St. Louis is no longer a teenager. She is an adult who is determined to find out what happened to her father 15 years ago. Please be sure to visit Today, there are no answers about Shawn’s death. Natalia St. Louis is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in her father’s case. She has a Facebook page titled “Justice for Shawn O’Brien.” And if you know anything about Shawn's death, you can contact the Cranston Police Department at 401-942-2211 with your tips.
