Old Avard Road - Unsolved Mystery 1956

The mystery continues... with more unanswered questions sent in by our readers. You can check out some of those questions and scenarios in the Mailbag Corner.

I had another reader send me some crimescene photos that he acquired through another source. I have stuck those on our website under Anne Reynolds Mystery - Crimescene Photos. According to Anne Reynolds death certificate, Anne's father was Earnest F. Newlin and her mother was Marie Schroder.

How come the Nephew chose that day NOT to ride home with Anne Reynolds like he usually would have? One elderly lady in the coffee shop this friday morning informed me that the nephew was running late that day and Anne did not want to wait for him. That same lady is getting me a copy of the article that appeared in the "True Detective" magazine back in the late 1950s. Who wrote this article? Was it written by a distant relative in hopes of helping solve Anne's mysterious death on 13 March 1956?

There was something else that sounded strange to me... about the first couple of eyewitnesses on the scene were also on the inquest jury. Was that the standard back in the 1950s? OR... Is that a no-no?

One of my readers that has been helping investigate this 47 year old unsolved mystery sent me some information relayed to him by another source, "The person who discovered the fire (the smoke was noted quite a distance away), said that he walked a long distance to reach it, as it was bordering or on his property. The strange part was the shooter appeared at the scene to inform the police that he fired the shells. With the lack of details in the report regarding this, its hard to understand why he returned to the scene in the first place, and secondly, why he would cast suspicion upon himself. In any event, his gun was taken, tested, and confirmed as the weapon used to fire the shells. His story was that he was just shooting his gun."
