Here's the view from the Short driveway looking across the highway. I was probably standing near the sidewalk that went to their front door. The sidewalk is actually gone now. You can see these two trees in photos from 2002. The main driveway entrance is just to the right of the trees. The...

Here's a view from the business beside the Short house. One end of the Short's driveway was just past the orange barrels. Here's a zoomed in view of part of the previous photo. This shows the mound of earth in the median. It would have been difficult to cross in the dark. Obviously...

We visited the sites Tuesday, September 7, 2021. We've heard about the truck parked across the highway. Well, on that side, there's an area with no guardrail and then an area with guardrail. Most likely, anybody pulling over would stop before the guardrail because the parking is pretty narrow...

I ran into a similar issue last week. I knew the Richmond office once had a page about the Short murders. They made a big deal of it when it went online. I looked and looked and it seems to be gone now.

Does anybody know if they ever ruled the fire was the result of arson? If so, that would surely give them a new direction to explore. Possibly new footprints or vehicle sightings. One story mentioned police taking a gas can found in the backyard but, at that time, they didn't know if it was...

We know it involved crossing state lines, so that really gave the FBI more of an excuse to shove their way in.

So they do have DNA?

I believe Sunday is the 19th anniversary. Time is slipping away and it seems there may never be any justice served, if the killer is still even alive.

I've attempted to start a private conversation with you. Not sure if you saw or not.

There's an interesting comment on a video. Quote: Jennifer would always wave and smile at me anytime she would see me drive by in my big truck. I would always pull my truck horn. Her Daddy Michael Short drove a truck too. I seen him several times at Dudleys Truck Stop in Rocky Mount. He...

As for the bridge location, we assume it was just a random spot that the killer may have been familiar with. It was pretty close to a house, though. Could it have been a message to the house owner?

With the house being for sale, that gives me another idea. What if the killer saw they were about to move. Perhaps he feared he was running out of time and would lose track of their whereabouts. Maybe that pushed him to commit the murders at that time. That triggered another thought. What...

This first photo is the old news photo from the day after the murders. Note the crime scene tape. Here's another photo that I found somewhere online ages ago. It appears to have the crime scene tape so I assume it's also from shortly after the murders. Of interest, note the "for sale"...

The rear pole. It appears the pole at the rear left of the property had a street light. I believe it appears in the 2008 StreetView. Definitely in the 2011 photo. In that photo, it does not appear any lines ran to the house from that pole so I think it was purely for the light. The phone...

The phone lines as seen in Google StreetView a few years later: Here's what that end of the house looked like in the first news article. Phone lines aren't visible but you can see the electrical box and conduit in that area. Note the shrubbery wasn't as large back then. I'd think it was...

If carefully planned, do you think the truck parked on the side of the highway was the killer's? It's a pretty visible spot. Michael wasn't in bed. The oldest article I have says he was found on a couch in the enclosed carport. I assume that means the left end of the house (as you're facing...

I know the incriminating statements came from his landlord. I wonder if he retracted them. Otherwise, why did the FBI clear him?

The suspect's trailer was moved to the property at 36.4024,-79.898. You can still see trailers nearby and I assume on the same property. This is about a half-mile (straight line) from the bridge where Jennifer's remains were found. Here's the body location circled in red and the location the...

The Short house was at coordinates: 36.8165,-79.9340

This link should take you to the bridge where they found about a quarter of Jennifer's remains: Google Maps The coordinates: 36.4103,-79.89605 Or here's the StreetView:
