I was digging through some old articles about Richard Poston's disappearance, and something that caught my attention was how little media coverage there was at the time. It's baffling to think that even in L.A., cases like his can just vanish from the public spotlight. I wonder if anyone remembers seeing any news broadcasts or newspaper articles from back in '86 that mentioned him? Sometimes local news can be really telling. It's sad to think he might have been overlooked at the time. Even now, a small piece of information from then could help piece things together. It's important to keep these older cases in conversation; you never know what new connections could be made.
Does anyone have experience with how long it typically takes for new technology to make a difference in these older cases? I came across Richard Poston's case from 1986 while digging through some old files, and it really got me thinking about how much has changed in forensic science since then. It's been decades, but with things like DNA advancements, there's always a chance something might break. I know dental records were available for comparison, but does anyone know how often these cold cases see new leads because of modern tech? It must be so tough for families waiting for answers. Curious if anyone's seen similar cases get updates after so long.
Hey everyone, I’ve been going through some older cases and came across the disappearance of Richard Poston from 1986. It’s been over three decades, and the lack of updates must be incredibly frustrating for those who knew him. I’m curious about how many cold cases like his might benefit from advances in forensic technology, especially with DNA. It seems like these databases could really be game-changers, but I wonder how often they’re re-examined with the latest tech. Does anyone know how frequently older cases are revisited or if there are instances where a random DNA match provided a lead in similar situations? Would love to hear your thoughts or any insights!
