On the morning of September 6, 1957, the routine hum of Tallahassee's Nu Way Cleaners was shattered by a heinous act of violence. Dorothy Thomas, a 27-year-old employee, was found brutally stabbed to death in the establishment located at 633 West Tennessee Street. The discovery of her lifeless body in a washroom by a deliveryman sent shockwaves through the community, marking the beginning of a decades-long quest for justice.
Investigations revealed that Thomas was alone at the cleaners between 9 and 10 a.m. when the murder occurred. Evidence suggested that a customer had been present shortly before the attack. Authorities identified a primary suspect, Harry Barth, a regular patron of the cleaners. Despite circumstantial evidence pointing towards Barth, the lack of concrete proof prevented any formal charges, leaving the case unresolved and the community in a state of unease.
In 2023, a renewed commitment to solving long-standing mysteries led to the establishment of the Big Bend Cold Case Task Force. This collaborative effort between the Tallahassee Police Department, Leon County Sheriff's Office, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the State Attorney's Office aimed to re-examine unsolved cases with fresh eyes and advanced forensic techniques. The murder of Dorothy Thomas was among the cases prioritized for review.
Upon revisiting the case, detectives uncovered new information that had previously been overlooked. Advances in forensic science and a thorough re-evaluation of existing evidence allowed the task force to establish probable cause implicating Harry Barth in the murder of Dorothy Thomas. It was discovered that Barth had passed away of natural causes in 2019, which, while precluding prosecution, provided a sense of closure regarding his involvement....Read More

on Vanished at Sea: The Mysterious Disappearance of Cameron Booth Off Chincoteague's Coast
He was a criminal, an abuser, likely who didn't want to face justice of his actions and took his own life because he could not face the consequences of what he did. The victims have told the family his crimes, with evidence. The family knows he was arrested and convicted of possession of CSAM. They know who and what he was. And they're all so equally sick they live in comfort that the victims don't want to retraumatize themselves over everything he put them through. Dont support this families sick parade of using a monster to get sympathy. He was never ashamed of who he was. He loudly boasted his crimes and justified them. The family shouldn't sit there and pretend, how far from reality are they to sit and post this man publicly on news outlets, websites, knowing who he is. Do they need attention that badly? They don't want the attention from the truth. The victims will never get justice. Do not pray for him o
