Beth Bramlett, SOLVED! Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

On Saturday August 8, 1982 Beth Bramlett, a 17 year old white female, went to a party at Trading House Lake Reservoir with some of her friends. A fight broke out at the party and Beth decided to leave. That was the last time any of her friends saw Beth alive. At the crime scene, he said, Bramlett’s body was laid across the tracks, face down, and didn’t appear to have been brutalized, but when investigators turned her over, it appeared someone had chewed or gnawed, maybe even eaten a part of her body.

Show notes

On this week’s show I want to take you back to the spring of 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia. The city was still recovering from the Atlanta Child Murders from 1981 and when the news hit the wire 8-year-old Joshua Harmon was missing everyone held their collective breath and hoped this wasn’t the beginning of another string of killings. Joshua Harmon's body was found 2 days after he disappeared on May 15, 1988. His family has waited 33 years for the answers they now have today.
