Chapter 17 | A Father's Tale

He mostly owned sedans and pickup trucks. And then we have Barbara Agnew, who was abducted from the White River Junction exit on I-91 at a rest area, and then her body was dumped in Heartland, just under three miles from where Heidi was found. I did get my hands on an FBI VICAP report on the Agnew case.

And a VICAP report is something that goes nationwide for law enforcement agencies to see if there's any kind of pattern between states. Here's what the VICAP report on Agnew's case says. FBI lab analysis of chips revealed to be daisy yellow, a primary color used in older AMC vehicles, 1973 to 1978.

It is also believed that a fender used a four-wheel drive vehicle in order to reach the body discovery site due to the heavy snowstorm that dropped approximately 18 inches on January 10, 1987. End quote. I've spent a lot of time thinking about these paint chips. According to my research, AMC manufactured Jeeps from 1970 until Chrysler bought them out in 1987.

So if the paint chips on Agnew's car are from an AMC, it possibly links the Jeep that Jane Borowski described to the Agnew abduction. Jane originally said that the color of her attacker's vehicle was light brown or tan, but John Philpin rightly pointed out that Jane was looking at this at night under sodium vapor lights from the parking lot stanchions.

It is very possible that the color of the Jeep that Jane saw was actually this AMC Daisy yellow, a specifically warm yellow that might look brown or tan in sodium vapor lighting. After I independently conducted this research, John Philpin sent me his personal case file on Agnew. Among the hundreds of pages of notes was a page dated 1987, a year before Jane's attack in 88.

Here's what the note said, quote, Primer Yellow, Primer Yellow, Original 73 AMC, Jeep CJ, Truck, Wagoneer, Commando. This is kind of cryptic, so I followed up with John about this and see if he remembered what that note was about. And he said he did remember. He recalled that that meant there were two layers of paint in the chips lifted from Agnew's car.

And this likely means that the vehicle had been painted twice with the same daisy yellow color. And why would you paint your car the same color twice, you may ask. Well, perhaps you've been in an accident, and this paint job is to cover repaired bodywork. So I made kind of a chart, and ticking all the boxes off about what descriptions we have and what facts we have, it seems most likely...

that the Connecticut River Valley Killer was driving an AMC-manufactured 1973 Custom Special Jeep Wagoneer four-wheel drive, painted daisy yellow with wood grain siding, that possibly had been involved in an accident. It might not seem like it, but this is huge. As far as I know, up until now, there's been no physical evidence tying any of these cases together.

I've passed this information along to the New Hampshire State Police and Vermont State Police. And if you really want to nerd out about this vehicle thing, I have all my work in a PDF, and that's accessible on my Patreon. The link is in the show notes. Okay, so back to Barry and his possible connection to Barbara Agnew's case.

As far as his vehicle history shows, Barry Martin did not drive a vehicle that was painted daisy yellow, and he certainly didn't drive a Jeep. But what about the theory that it was a yellow snowplow that left those paint chips on Agnew's car? It makes sense, after all, because Agnew had pulled off into the rest area during a pretty brutal snowstorm.
