I check in here everyday but possibly missed this...this is big to me:

We've learned Aliayah's stepfather Ralph Lunsford is related to two women who went missing from Lewis County in 1999. To this day, they still haven't been found.
Ralph was also most recently an employee at Stonewall Resort. The resort released a statement to WBOY stating he "has not returned to work since September 24." The statement added the resort is cooperating with authorities in the investigation.  (I have not found where this original information came from)

Could this be the three women mentioned above?

snipped for simplicity.  MB

I took the 'related to' to mean he was related to the case not the family.  But maybe I was wrong.

OH...that is how I was taking it too...that Ralph was in some way related to the case...never thought of it as him being a relative.  Hmmm...I wonder which way it is?


The way I understand it is that Ralph Keith Lunsford is Lena's husband and Aliayah's stepfather.
Ralph Keith Lunsford is the grandson of Marcus Maxine and the nephew of her daughter who
disappeared in 1999.  Ralph Keith Lunsford works at the Stonewall Jackson resort, which is
where the purse of one of the missing women was found.   The Metz boy who was suspect
in the disapparence of the women is Ralph Keith Lunsford's first cousin.  Ralph Keith Lunsford's step father (his mother's husband) served 17  years for sex offensees.

Genealogy is a hobby of mine.  No one should have this on their family tree.

It is my belief that Marcus Maxine Harrison Stalnaker was the grandmother of both
 Lunsford and Metz.   I think Lena's maiden name was Swiger

Weston , Lewis County , West Virginia

The mother of a missing Lewis County toddler gives birth to twins.

Family members tell Eyewitness News that Lena Lunsford, 29, gave birth to two girls around 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.

We're told both of the girls weighed about five pounds each and are healthy.

Family says Lena visited with her newborns for about 45 minutes before Child Protective Services took the babies.

Lena's daughter, Aliayah Lunsford, 3, has been missing since September 24.

Since her disappearance, her other four children have been placed in foster care.
