I hope to illustrate some things in some posts to help people see that James Mitchell DeBardeleben was a sociopath or psychopath and a sexual sadist. What does that mean?
One of the most important aspects of a sociopath to understand is that they do not feel empathy or compassion for other...
appreciate these posts.
There have been a group of us posting for a couple of years now that it was DeBardeleben that committed the "same" crime twice: Once in Fort Worth December 23, 1974 (just before Christmas at a crowded outdoor mall in Fort Worth) and again March 25, 1975 (just before...
Below you will find an email I received from Michaud after I reached out to him about my crime theory connection of DeBardeleben and the Lyon girls.
Later I reached out to Rusty - Rachel Trlico's (Missing Trio) younger brother and he stated that Fort Worth LE had missed looking at DeBardeleben...
Thanks for the inquiry.
This is what I have found out or discovered in my crime theory investigation (which of course is limited to materials, literature, "evidence" available to Joe Q Public).
Repeated statements have been made by law enforcement, Michaud the author of Beyond Cruel, the A&E...

My crime theory: DeBardeleben as the potential perpetrator
3 girls go missing from a Fort Worth mall on Dec 23, 1974 - The Missing Trio
Please note the similarities between the Fort Worth mall and Wheaton Plaza. An outdoor mall set in an area surrounded by modest middle class homes. Multiple...
The article below I got from the Washington Post archives. I had a theory that the Lyon girls were possible taken from the streets of Kensington from a police impersonator. I was curious to know if the Post had archived any articles pertaining to police impersonating that would fit the time...
Richard,
Thanks for the response.
I was/am aware that Montgomery County Police have always had jurisdiction in the case.
I was aware of the ransom note and remember in real time (I was 9 years old at the time) pertaining to the Annapolis court house drama.
I did not know for sure about the...
Marshall, responding to your understated theories about LE's possible lack of motivation to solve the case I believe the following:
MCP made a calculated decision to (as poor and reprehensible as it was now that we have the clarity of hindsight) to not pursue you in 1975 because they must have...
Wow Marshall what you have been writing here on this case is very impressive and holds great potential for helping to solve this excruciating case.
I was unaware of the threads you writing until today when Jeb telephoned me to point it out. I have written on other Lyon sisters websleuth...
Debra Kent was taken outside her high school on her way to pick her brother from the roller rink. Her parents said goodbye to her at the play as she left early to pick up her brother and her car was in the school parking lot. It was never moved. Later the play director/school teacher picked...

Youtube link above of 1 of 10 of the A&E special on DeBardeleben.
Deeply disturbing it is. Please note in the show's description of DeBardeleben first counterfeit arrest (which I discovered was for passing a fake $100 bill in 1976 at a Montgomery...
It has seemed to me that not enough emphasis has been placed (especially on the Websleuth Lyon sisters discussion) on the meaning and significance of conducting a multiple kidnapping in a crowded mall at a peak holiday shopping day.
The crimes were multi-layered, not only in the misdirection...
That "male sleuther" is me. I spoke with Rusty many times. I am not clear that I "convinced" him that his sister was not involved. I believe I got his attention about the likelihood that DeBardeleben was involved. He contacted the Secret Service who took Rusty's requests for help in the case...
The thing that I appreciate the most about your posts and your process is your clarity and your ability to keep the conversation grounded.
In your latest post you brought us back to square 1. I think that is smart because in all reality those of us not privy to the information and data that...
For some time I thought of the crime the way that you do. This frame de-emphasizes the extraordinariness of the set and setting of the crime. A crowded mall during the holiday season does not receive a special valence when looking at the meaning of doing these crimes at this time and place...
One truth about human beings - emotions or feelings are contagious.
So if we look at the facts of the case we know that the girls were seen in one moment talking to the TRM. The TRM was someone that others reported conjuring up many negative feelings and reactions when acting out his drama...
Now to speak of MCPD's response to my emphatic requests of them to respond to my crime theory.
DeBardeleben is a definite suspect today. Much time and energy is going into discovering if he did the crime presently. MCPD are exploring potential connections between crimes in Pittsburg and...
Thank you Richard for responding.
I had written you a private note a couple months ago and did not hear from you. Maybe you did not get it.
I also wrote to the MCPD lead investigator on the case and until yesterday got next to nothing from him. Prior to getting this recent note I wondered...
Look at the youtube link of a Discovery channel documentary of the guy. Also I posted a Radford College students annotation of DeBardeleben's whereabouts. Furthermore a book (Beyond Cruel, by Stephen Michaud) was written to detail his life of crime.
He married his 4th wife "Caryn" (not her...
