MISSING: Diane Marie Webb

 

18-year-old Diane Webb lived with her family in San Bernadino, California until 1959. In March her family would move to Dolan Springs, Arizona, and Diane would stay. She would then stay with her 16-year-old boyfriend, Bennie Webb, who would soon become her husband.

At least one time that year she stayed with her family in Arizona for a week. During the visit, she told her parents she was pregnant and that she was going to marry. Her father disapproved of the relationship, but her younger brother and mother made it to the wedding in Indio, California. 

The wedding was the last time her family saw her, but they would receive letters for several months after her wedding. The last letter was mailed on August 22, 1959, for her little sister's birthday. It included handkerchiefs that she crocheted for her. 

A letter would then arrive to Diane's family from Bennie in late 1960. He had believed that she was with them in Dolan Springs, and this confused them. They would send a letter back asking what had happened and when she had left. 

On January 5, 1961, he responded back stating that he hadn't heard from or seen Diane in a very long time. That he had given her $100 and put her on a bus to Dolan Springs. He stated she wrote one letter to him after she left and stated she had a miscarriage. Bennie recommended they to talk to a friend of Diane's in California to see if she knew something.

In August of 1961 Diane or someone else using her name visited a dentist's office in California. This was the last possible sign of her. 

Diane's family suspects that her husband had done something to her. Her father went to Bennies hometown in New Mexico where Bennies brother was a police chief. He was searching to see if he can find information on Diane. Allegedly Bennies brother chased him out of town. 

Bennie is still alive, but is not cooperating with the police and refuses a polygraph. He allegedly never recalled marrying Diane, but their marriage certificate exists. This however seems suspicious but does not mean he is guilty. 

Diane is a white female and was 18-years-old at the time. She's 5'2" to 5'4" and 110 to 120lbs. She has brown hair and grey eyes. She was pregnant at the time but may have had a miscarriage, one of her breasts was larger than the other, she has freckles on the tip of her nose, and her ears are pierced.

Murder of Thora Afton Chamberlain

On November 2, 1945, 14-year-old Thora Afton Chamberlain was last seen outside her High School in Campbell California. School was over and she was planning to go to the football game afterward. She was also looking forward to her 15th birthday on the 22nd.

Her classmates saw her speaking for several minutes to a man in a vehicle. One of the witnesses said he was dressed like an ex-serviceman and was looking for a babysitter for his sister's children. She got into the vehicle with him presumably to take the babysitting job. She was never seen again.

Thomas Henry McGonigle was immediately a suspect in Thora's disappearance. He had an arrest record dating back to his teens including assault and intent to commit rape. When he found that they suspected him he fled to his father's home in Illinois. On December 6, 1945, he returned to San Fransisco, California by bus. He tried to attempt suicide on the bus by taking sleeping pills. He tried to overdose but recovered after treatment at the hospital.

Several classmates and witnesses Identified him as the man she left with. It was found he was wearing stolen Navy-issue clothes and military medals and was not an ex-serviceman. He said he had found the clothing in a footlocker he'd stolen. The footlocker was later found in his garage.

He claimed responsibility for Thora's abduction and murder. He had various different statements about how Thora was killed. He claimed he had stabbed her, strangled her, fell out of his car, shot her, and that her death was accidental and he that he also didn't kill her.

It's more likely he shot her in his car. He'd claimed he shot her accidentally and because she bled on the padding and upholstery he tore it out. He told the FBI where he had buried it and they found it and it was stained with her blood.

There was also a bullet hole in the door of his car. He'd claimed to have removed it and buried it under a tree in his yard. The FBI found it and determined it had been fired from his .32-caliber Colt Revolver.

Not only did he give different statements on how he killed her he did the same with how he disposed of her. He'd said he had thrown her body off the 350 ft cliff known as the Devil's Slide. It overlooks Half Moon Bay on the San Mateo County coast. two pairs of red and blue socks were found wedged in two different crevices partway down the cliff face that belonged to Thora.

At the time he had been working at a construction site and got permission from his boss to fill a ditch with concrete blocks. Inside the ditch were Thora's shoes, schoolbooks, papers, binder, and cowbell. He told them he buried her clothes in his yard, but they turned up nothing.

More than likely she rejected his sexual advances and she was killed. He tossed her body off Devil's Slide and her body was possibly carried out to sea.

Mcgonigle confessed to another murder as he was on death row for Thora's. He didn't get charged due to begin on death row. At one point he claimed to have killed 11 people, but those murders couldn't be verified. Before his execution from the gas chamber in 1948, he retracted his statement. He claimed to have been innocent of all involvement in Thora's disappearance.

Thora is a white female and was 14-year-old at the time of her disappearance. She was 5'2" and around 120 lbs. She had brown hair and blue eyes. She was wearing Garbarand coat, white blouse, red skirt, blue sweater, and two pairs of socks one being red and one being blue, and tan shoes.
