Good thought. Could "thin books" be journals he's kept over the years?

AngTxGal, my impression of someone, or of an event, or of a thing can only be shaped by the information that has been presented. And, that information is presented within a context. Concerning this guy, he showed his wife one face, he showed his co-workers another face, and now he is working...

I am not a lawyer, and I don't play one on television.... (An attempt at humor.) To your question, I think there is a principle of being able to challenge an accuser or interview a witness. Otherwise, like the secret police of the Soviet Union, accusations could be made, people arrested, and...

I believe you are correct. Seemingly (analytical qualifier) it appears that there is a well-crafted information campaign at work, where one thing is revealed deliberately, and another thing is temporarily not revealed, or revealed only in pieces, or alluded to (referenced, but not clearly...

What happens if there is an interplay between many of the variables you list? Sometimes it's not just one thing, but a series of things which vector people to their target.

The initial statements may have been based upon proximity to the event, where the event did not appear immediately related to social media. As information (evidence and inference) is developed over time, then the analytical model changes.

Listening to Gray Hughes Investigates (YouTube channel), he discusses in a general way the attempted destruction of files by uninstalling and reinstalling an application. A quick internet search will reveal commercial recovery methods and services, and I would suspect (analytical qualifier)...

Thank you so, so much for clarifying this. I went back and made an edit to my original posting to better reflect events. I appreciate your help in keeping things accurate.

A couple of things: 1. I thought I heard Superintendent Doug Carter mention "the largest pedophile ring in Indiana's history" in one of his press conferences. He didn't amplify that statement. It was a one-line statement buried in a news broadcast about the Delphi murders, but the footage...

I suspect -- my analytical qualifier -- that with electronic surveillance, a long-run monitoring operation against a targeted individual could be maintained without suspicion. Your cell phone, house phone using voice over IP (VOIP), your internet usage and communications, all of that can just...

I suspect the man will feel the need to confront the system. Some people are so self-justified they simply have to attack the process. Guilt isn't a factor in their thinking. It's an animal-level reaction to being caught. Rationally, you'd expect remorse and confession, but the animal-level...

I wonder -- my analytical qualifier -- if one of the adult daughters submitted a DNA test to one of the commercial DNA vendors? That might have been the thing that put more directed attention to him, and then to seal the deal some public discarding of an item (cigarette butts get mentioned a...

People on the thread are asking about the Federal Marshals and their role. Within the realm of speculation -- an analytical qualifier -- if the recovered computer equipment from the river search had information on human trafficking or child endangerment, the Federal Marshals may be there for...

Can I make a suggestion? People are assigning moral value to expressions captured in photographs. For example, hollowness around the eyes becomes an assumption of being a soulless killer. It could be simple fatigue from life. Some of that fatigue may be juggling two lives, one for his family...

Tmar, it can probably be expected that little information will come out at the Monday press conference. The state will be concerned not to reveal information that would prejudice a successful prosecution. I suspect we will have to wait for the trial and post-trial Freedom of Information Act...

Gitana1, I expect you are correct concerning the familial DNA as a factor. And, where people wonder why there is an arrest on Friday, but no press conference until Monday, if the police uncovered evidence of a network of criminality, there may be a lot of arrests across the U.S. this weekend...

Gitana1, thank you for taking the time to give some clear definitions to terms and concepts that people use and misuse on the website. Your training and experience are valuable and instructive, and I (among many to be sure) am very grateful for your careful mentoring.

I've personally surrendered trying to make assessments in many of these cases. I track some of these cases out of interest, and hope for resolution, but I don't think an accurate understanding is discernible right now. Discussion is useful to develop analytical models, theories, and...

I am hoping for a breakthrough and resolution, also. Please update the forum, and if possible allow the Websleuths group an opportunity to view the CCTV footage.

Curious_in_NC, thank you. Like you, I'm not "holding my breath." I am simply laying out my analytical model for clarity of how I came to the assessment. As you mention, this case has been pronounced solved before, only to be continued.... What amazes me is the press reporting that includes...
