Scrolling through memory lane

Re-reading some of the more 'recent' posts. It's been 5 months since I talked to the detectives regarding the DNA results, but it seems like forever ago. 36 years have come and gone and in a way, everything is still right where it was like in 1980. Life does go on, for some of us. Make the...

The DNA testing gave us nothing to go on. We knew it was a long shot, but we tried. Now Bill's case files go back in the box to be stored away. The case will not be closed; maybe something will turn up. We did all we could do. This mystery was not meant to be solved... and I'm going to...

Welcome back to 1980, where the most vague of answers are given and totally disregard for... you name it. Perhaps there is a reason for that? Don't know what it would be. 35 years of waiting for an answer to the most life changing event that could happen to a family. Years of waiting for a...

After the decades of waiting, we will get an answer. However, we are fully aware this "answer" may lead to more unanswerable questions.

I know there have been many thoughts, speculations, ideas, theories on what happened to Bill. For 35 years there have been no answers and perhaps there never will be. Does it makes sense to tie a heavy winter scarf around your neck while wearing heavy ski gloves? Not looking for...

The dna test is being pushed back. So we will be waiting longer. They are fine tuning it now.

Still waiting to see what FCSO is going to do.

Bill was a well liked person, his kindness and good natured personality had an effect on anyone who knew him. It's nice to know that so many people care about him, I hope he knew how much he was cared about when he was alive.

Thanks for the support. They chose to ignore my email requesting to refer Bill's case. It will be a little harder to ignore 230+ emails requesting the same thing. Just looking for answers, the same as every other family with questions.

Thanks for posting this, haven't been able to log in for awhile. Still trying to push for the DNA to be tested, won't know what it holds until it is.

I unfortunately do not know what the timeline was for that.

These notebooks are with the detective.

I want to express my thanks for everyone taking their time to brainstorm, research, ponder, and share with us. I believe there is a time for everything. Perhaps it's taken 34 years for this new DNA testing to come about because it's taken that long for the DNA of whomever it belongs to, to get...

In case anyone missed it from a prior post, 911 was called when family noticed Bill was missing, that's way LE was patrolling the neighborhood.

The railroad tracks are the same today as the time prior Bill's murder. The ditch is fairly close to the road.

Another thought on this. It may have been easy to lure Bill to the car. Bill is now in an enclosed space, unable to flee or fight back. Possible someone in the back seat grabbed Bill's scarf, strangled him (driving the short drive) got to the area Bill was found and dumped him out?

Adding my thoughts to this.

Regarding the "car theory"... It's not completely unlikely a car could have been used the night of the murder. You have to remember, everyone has their doors and windows shut (it's 30 degrees outside) and it's dark. How many cars go by your house on a given night while you are inside...

The letters written "after" Bill's death by AJT had nothing to do with Bill's death. For clarification, Bill wasn't attacked near a high school, it was an elementary school. And of course, a police report was made. They went to the crime scene and recovered items.
