THE PLACES BEHIND THE STORY

The Case, Stop by Stop

Check access notes before traveling. Private properties are historical references, not visitor attractions.

Follow the dated locations in order. Broad periods can overlap; undated stops appear last. This is a historical timeline, not driving directions.

    Gunpowder State Park — documented recovery area

    Gunpowder State Park, Middle River, Maryland

    The January 2020 appellate opinion identifies the area near the park’s archery range as the location where Gina Nueslein’s body was found on January 10, 1993. The map search is for the park area, not an exact crime-scene pin.

    Access & Visiting Information

    Historical location reference. Check official park rules before visiting; do not enter restricted areas.

Case Location Notes & Sources

This case was added after the September 14 map-source review and has not yet been checked against those sources.

A FIELD GUIDE TO THE MAPS

Follow the geography

Use these outside resources alongside the case library. Each answers a different question about a place.

Patterns · U.S. homicide data

Murder Accountability Project

The county dashboard groups homicides to help researchers examine geographic patterns and reported clearance rates. Similarities can suggest questions for investigators; they do not prove that cases share a perpetrator.

Before comparing a case
  1. Check the county and reporting agency, then adjust the year range. The link opens an unfiltered source page.
  2. Individual Supplementary Homicide Report data starts in 1976 and omits victims’ names. Older cases and the Canadian Bernardo–Homolka case are outside that coverage.
  3. A report’s original solved/unsolved classification may not reflect later developments. Use current case reporting for case status.
  4. Distinguish a statistical resemblance from a connection established by evidence. Missing reports also limit comparisons.

Our case notes link to MAP’s own discussions of Gary Ridgway, JonBenét Ramsey and Samuel Little.

Where are the Serial Killers?

Theresa H Ye’s January 2021 ArcGIS StoryMap presents an international tour and a section on Samuel Little’s geography. It includes U.S. profiles of Gacy, Dahmer and Bundy.

An independent presentation hosted on ArcGIS, not an official police map. Its biographical claims and victim figures need separate verification; use it as supplementary reading.

Community discussion · worldwide

Reddit’s serial-killer map discussion

A January 2023 r/MapPorn post shares a map described by its poster as based on Wikipedia. The discussion raises concerns about missing people and misplaced markers, including birthplaces versus crime locations.

We have not adopted its coordinates or victim counts. Its “all known” title is the poster’s claim, not a verified statement of complete coverage.

LOCATION COVERAGE · SEPTEMBER 14, 2026

Sources for Documented Locations

These 36 cases have documented locations and a source review. We opened matching location pages and reviewed the supplied ArcGIS essay and Reddit discussion.

36cases reviewed
34cases with Odd Stops locations
78individual location pages
3MAP case discussions

A source can mention a person without documenting a location. One additional Odd Stops case and Ted Bundy’s MAP result are mentions only. Two candidate location pages were inaccessible and remain unverified. “No verified match” means none was found in the accessible material searched; it does not establish absence from an entire archive.

What this review covers

For each cataloged case, searches used the case name and relevant names or aliases. We also inspected accessible Odd Stops index pages and MAP’s available blog feed. Each included location page was opened to check its connection, and the address or area was labeled as historical, biographical, a recovery site, or another specific connection.

MAP’s three direct case discussions concern Ridgway, JonBenét Ramsey, and Samuel Little. Bundy appears in a board member’s biography. We did not match people to anonymous homicide rows or treat a county cluster as proof of a shared perpetrator. The 2021 ArcGIS essay includes four cataloged cases; the Reddit map’s coordinates and counts were not imported.

This is a review of the four linked map resources, not a fresh verification of every court record, media item, or present-day property condition in the case library. Photographs require separate reuse permission, and visitor access requires current venue information.
