I recently came across the case of Carol Frances Norton, and one detail that stands out to me is the presence of bloodstained floor mats found in Harvey's car. It seems like such a significant clue, yet decades later, we still don't have answers. It makes me wonder about the level of forensic analysis available back then and whether those mats were ever tested with the methods we're familiar with today. Considering the presence of human hair and a shovel in the car, it's baffling how these pieces of evidence didn't lead to more concrete conclusions. Does anyone know if there have been any recent advances in technology that could potentially re-examine such old evidence? Or maybe there are reasons why the case hasn't been reopened? Would love to hear what others think about the role of forensic science in cold cases like this one.
Does anyone else find it odd that Harvey's car showed up in Corpus Christi with all that incriminating evidence? Bloodstained floor mats, hair, and a shovel—it's like something out of a crime novel. How does a vehicle end up over 2,000 miles away from where Harvey last claimed to see Carol in Portland? It just feels like there must have been more to this story, maybe something happened during that long drive south. I've been trying to piece together a timeline, and that trek from Oregon to Texas doesn't sit right with me. If anyone has dug deeper into this, I'd love to compare notes!
Has anyone found it strange how Harvey's 1964 Lincoln ended up all the way in Corpus Christi, Texas? It's so far from where they reportedly last were in Portland. It always makes me wonder if Harvey had some kind of plan in mind or if his journey spiraled out of control. The car being abandoned with bloodstains and other grim evidence seems so telling. Was he trying to make an escape, or was something else happening that this car's journey can help us understand? It's terrifying thinking about those last weeks before everything unraveled. I can't shake the feeling that the car holds more clues than we've been able to piece together. How can something like this stay cold for so long with such potent leads? What's everyone's take on this?
