"Prosecutors and Welch's attorneys declined to comment, citing a gag order that Circuit Judge James Updike issued in the case."
I think this is going to be tough. There was a forensic dig in at least one location and there was a tooth found (which was then lost!) I think there is the possibility that LLW knows the exact location and it would be part of his plea agreement that he cooperate and be truthful with...
The phenomenon of false confessions have always puzzled me. I think LLW has given about a half dozen different versions of what happened to those poor girls.
His motive for lying may have been to downplay his own involvement and blame others. It is quite possible no family members were...
GUILTY PLEA in the works!

This is posted in the "no comments" section and deals with the changing accounts of LLW.
LLW was first interviewed by detectives in October 2013 where he claimed he saw the girls being put into a black car...

According to court documents, during an interrogation in February of last year, Welch confessed to walking Sheila and Katherine Lyon out of a Montgomery County, Maryland mall and getting them into a car back in March 1975.

One concern of mine about this case going forward is the number of conflicting statements that LLW has allegedly made to LE. Even if he said something incriminating, it may be countered from the defense as an example of his mental issues. I have no doubt that LLW is pretty screwed up in the head...
There is a window with the PDF file about midway down on this website. You can download it if you think the news source may delete it. I am going to save a copy myself just in case. EDIT- they will not allow a download w/o a "subscription". I think it is available elsewhere though...
EDIT: Found the pic, looks to be 1994? Blurry on my monitor for some reason.

I think I saw somewhere this picture is in the early 90's. It may be a booking photo from SC or DE. I would guess it is around that period as he seems between the skinny...

I haven't checked this thread in months. Looks like a lot of interesting evidence is emerging. I just finished reading the PDF court document about the other accusers. Absolutely stunning stuff. This piece of garbage should never walk the streets again, even if acquitted of the Lyon murders.
I...
Glad to see some movement on this case, I am very curious about what it actually means.
News reports say that Engleking is "cooperating" which is a word with a lot of wiggle room in criminal cases. Perhaps he is not kicking and screaming and that qualifies as "cooperation", or maybe he has...
The family was and is still very large. If there were a certain set within the family who recognized LLW was bad news and shunned him, there was likely still some who still associated with him at different degrees of trust, friendship and interaction.
I am looking to see some finger pointing...
The prosecutors legal pressure on the relatives is completely legal and justified if it is based on evidence against the family members. This evidence does not necessary mean complicity in the alleged abductions, murder and body disposal- this evidence only regards the crimes of obstruction and...
