A Quiet Afternoon Walk Turns Into a Haunting Mystery
On April 20, 2018, 71-year-old Lauralyn Palmer set out for a routine walk with her stepdaughter’s dog, Lucy, in the wooded area near her home on Cassel Fall River Road in Fall River Mills, California. It was a familiar path she had taken countless times before. She left behind her phone, wallet, and purse, carrying only a can of lite beer and wearing her eyeglasses. Lauralyn told her husband, Bob Palmer, she would be gone for about 15 minutes. When she didn't return, concern quickly turned to alarm.
A Life of Compassion and Community Service
Lauralyn was a retired nurse who had dedicated her career to caring for others at a local hospital and hospice. Known for her compassionate nature, she continued to serve her community by volunteering at a thrift store and participating in weekly bowling nights with friends. Her son, Dave Crotwell, described her as an active and social individual who was well-known and loved in the community. Despite exhibiting early signs of dementia, Lauralyn remained independent and engaged in her daily routines.

on Vanished at Sea: The Mysterious Disappearance of Cameron Booth Off Chincoteague's Coast
He was a criminal, an abuser, likely who didn't want to face justice of his actions and took his own life because he could not face the consequences of what he did. The victims have told the family his crimes, with evidence. The family knows he was arrested and convicted of possession of CSAM. They know who and what he was. And they're all so equally sick they live in comfort that the victims don't want to retraumatize themselves over everything he put them through.

They don't want the attention from the truth. The victims will never get justice. Do not pray for him o
