Betsy Ruth Aardsma Unsolved Murder Penn State Michigan 1969Betsy Ruth Aardsma was a 22 yr old grad student at Penn State University when she was stabbed in November 28,1969, the day after Thanksgiving. There were not many people around the campus that day(due to Holidays) when Betsy had been at the Penn State Pattee Library while she worked on a paper. Betsy's roommate, Sharon Brandt, walked with Betsy to the library. When they got to the library, they agreed to meet up later to go see a movie, and they parted ways. Sometime between 4:45 pm amd 4:55 pm, Betsy was stabbed a single time through her left breast. This single stab wound severed her pulmonary artery and pierced the right ventricle of her heart. She was transported to the hospital and pronounced dead a short time later. Betsy had been attending college at Michigan University, but decided to switch colleges, one of the reasons because of the killing spree going on by the Co-ed Killer which later became known to be SK John Collins. Collins began killing in 1967(as far as is known) and resumed killing college women in March of 1969. Betsy and her family were glad when she switched colleges where they thought she would be safe. Betsy was wearing a red dress at the time and the wound had closed shut so at first it did not appear she had even been stabbed. This murder is still unsolved. More info here. www.crimemagazine.com/cold-case-murder-betsy-aardsma-penn-statek1025.com/betsy-aardsma/I'll post more about this murder later. I have not really looked at it, but there were a few things that "clicked" with me and some other cases.

I did some research about John Collins about 15 years ago. Now I have forgotten everything. But I do remember at the time I was looking at him, was when he left Michigan and went out to Monterey California area..
I also remember at the time back in Michigan when John Collins was killing people that a girl maybe in her early 20's, maybe younger was murdered then. Back when I was looking at all this Michigan sk connection theory I have, I was thinking then(and still do) that there was a Zodiac and BTK connection to Michigan. I found the BTK michigan connection and I ran into into on the FBI thinking perhaps Z was there, before they thought he was in cali. I don't know if I can go back and find any of this again. ugh. Next time SPF comes in his chat I'll see if he can remember anything as he and I studied up a lot on all of this back then.
away today I went back to michigan to see if there were any cold cases that might connect to Zodiac, and I bumped into this one. What made me go hmmm, was the red dress and the library. kind of clicked on Desk Top Poem... the red dress and the library...
I don't know how many people think zodiac has a connection to Michigan but I have thought it since about 2003. Then BTK has a connection there. and TK had a connection there. and then someone said they thought Bundy might have killed Betsy, I don't know what that connection is, but I'll look... and John Collins was there. And of course Jon Bonett Ramsey case has the michigan connectin...other personal reasons(which REALLY make me wonder) make me want to look at the Betsy Aardsma Murder case.
