Thanks TedMac.

I just spoke with Tricia (owner of Websleuths) and she would like to feature the Beasley-Hawlett case on True Crime Radio this coming Thursday, Aug. 20 at 9 p.m. Eastern. I'll be writing a summary of the case for the show, but Tricia still needs a guest. We both felt that the ideal would be...

A man from Michigan who was at a party the night of the murders near where the car was found is also a "very viable" suspect, Spivey said. The man, whom Spivey would not name, left town within days of the murders, the chief said, adding that investigators had traveled to Michigan three times...

In the interest of gauging where we stand as a group on some key aspects, here are five poll questions. Obviously we're all unsure about a great many things related to the case, so I'm not going to include "Not Sure" as an option here. Whether it's instinct, deduction or you have reliable...

(Continued) New Information Received January 16, 2000 Ozark Police Chief Tony Spivey said that investigators had received new information in the murders of two Dothan teens, and they were hopeful that it is valuable in solving the case. Spivey wouldn't say what the...

Here is the complete text of the "Chronology of Events" document. Not just a record of media reports, but a journal as well ("I have been hearing a lot of rumors again..."), this may be the most valuable and useful document we have to work from, as it seems to have been maintained in real time...

LR1, this is from the invaluable Chronology of Events you originally linked to (thank you one more time for that): Your statement BBM is one I agree with 100%.

Here is a collection of excerpts from media reports that illustrates the contradictions and consistencies in stories told by and about Johnny Barrentine: At a preliminary hearing and two bond hearings since his Sept. 1 arrest, no physical evidence was presented to link Barrentine to the...

Here is a third, earlier (July 31) article by this writer, who was herself a teenager living in the Wiregrass area at the time of the murders: http://thebandgeekdiaries.com/2015/07/31/64/

WTVY.com has shared their coverage of yesterday's vigil, and it includes the above update on the case. A written piece has been posted here, but spelling and grammar are poor and the report is inaccurate (saying the Mazda the girls were found in belonged to Tracie). Instead, watch the video...

1,315 posts is a lot to read. In an effort to re-focus our discussion on the facts, I've revised and updated my original post on this case. I provide it here as a starting point. It has been cobbled together from a great many sources, among them MSM articles, television shows, transcripts and...

As the case approaches 16 years unsolved, the first news story on the upcoming anniversary has been released. Short article, but the video is more in-depth: http://www.alabamanews.net/home/top-stories/Two-Teens-Murder-Case-Remains-Unsolved-16-Years-Later-318200461.html

I believe this tribute video from the 15th anniversary is new to this thread. It features something we haven't seen before: interviews with Tracie's brothers and J.B.'s sisters. A good reminder of why we're here and why we should carry on asking questions and raising awareness...

On January 16, Tony Spivey retired from his position as Ozark Police Chief. Captain Tim Hicks will serve as interim chief, and the city looks to have the position filled by April. Spivey was with OPD for 32 years, and was named Chief of Police in 1996...

Barring an incredible coincidence, I'd like to respectfully submit that you may have the wrong person. A man with the same name (different middle name) passed away at age 90 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, on March 24, 2014, according to The Hamilton Spectator. I have been unable to find an...
