OFF TOPIC Ugh, I hope not. Unfortunately, it is part of the American experience for minorities that when a notable perp belongs to the same ethnic group, there is a public backlash against that minority community, especially for blacks, latinos, and native americans. It wouldn't surprise me...

If the remains were not IN the bag, then what is with the story of the trash collectors finding an odd bag and having animal control look in it? Sounds to me like the newest report had an accidental "I" instead of "O" keystroke.

I'm caught up, here are a few of my thoughts Although I'm not sure if it is CONFIRMED that her clothes were in her bookbag, I can add that my fifth grader often has friends arrange to come home Fridays with her on the bus to sleep over, and the girls have no problem fitting pjs, next day...

Really not sure why race and skin color is such a debate. Kat stated correctly, Latinos may or may not classify or self- identify as white/Caucasian. Some identify as AfroCaribbean, some as indigenous, some as mixed race, some as Caucasian. If I robbed a bank, I would be described as a...

In that article : The source, who asked not to be identified, said the fact both Ridgeway and Beverly Liggett were dismembered was an obvious clue. There is some LE take on the much-debated phrase "not intact" for us.

http://denver.cbslocal.com/2012/10/19/wooden-cross-could-provide-break-in-ridgeway-case/ “Looking at it, again, it’s unique, and we feel or believe that it may have been dropped or left behind by the killer,” Trevor Materasso with Westminster police said. This IMO sounds...

The 2nd guy is 250 lbs, that would be noted if they were looking for someone that substantial IMO.

No, I'm in GA. I definatley don't fit that description, no judgement on those vendors, but I live in suburbia and make personalized nursery decor for babies and kids, I have 2 preteen girls. My business is Internet based but I participate in craft shows that are usually held by local churches...

I'm not sure if I agree. The hole is a clean drill, the cross is very rudimentary, but the aged and distressed look is fairly trendy right now. My best guess is that it was purchased cheaply at an outdoor market, or you know those gas station conveniance stores near big tourist cities that sell...

I mentioned yesterday that I think "light skinned" means "we think he is Caucasian but we don't want the public to ignore a suspicious person of another race that might appear Caucasian". I think this because I hear LE in general give descriptors such as "light skinned African American" or...

I am a vendor at craft shows so I will look... I'm not in Colorado, but it does look like something along those lines. I have also seen mass produced similar jewelry at open air flea markets.

I agree, I think they are working very hard and I respect them, I feel sure they did independent research in the cross and when they were unable to find more information, they went to the public with it. I also think that if the cross was intentionally left by the perp, as opposed to dropped...

Well, you wouldn't "raise" the lines as much as "lower" the negative space to make the lines. But IMO in the side 3/4 angle pic they look recessed, not raised.

*GRAPHIC Warning* I am not trying to sensationalize this. I am just adding, if LE is sure it came from the perp, it might have been placed with/in/on the remains. I am still open to it being found by Jessica and tossed in her backpack weeks earlier, too. It could have been found 1.with the...

I hope the cross was found somewhere besides in the backpack, because if it was in the backpack it may be a random thing Jessica herself picked up off the schoolbus floor or was given in school, and her parents might not have even known it. (I'm saying this because I have a fifth grader and I...

:moo: The guy has had 248 sales from his etsy shop, not bad. I don't think the cross came from etsy, I don't see the perp as an online etsy shopper. I have an etsy store (O/T but it's a great extention of how I make my living, don't worry I won't spam my own site here :)

Sorry to quote myself, I want to add that I think it also means "we think this person is Caucasian but don't want the public to rule out a light skinned member of a different ethnic group."

My interpretation is someone of lighter toned skin (on a scale from one being lightest to 10 being darkest, light IMO means shades 1-3), possibly race not apparent. So this IMO could mean a fair to medium, non-tanned Caucasian, a light skinned African American, Latino, or Middle Eastern, or...

IMO if he wanted her to be found, he wouldn't need to have knowledge of culvert cleaning schedules to time the crime by, he'd just leave her somewhere semi-public. Plus LE said he "placed her remains on the hillside" ( see link earlier in thread) so the culvert itself doesn't seem to play a big...

I don't mean to speak as if I know your situation, because I don't, and I am sorry for the trauma in your family. What I think Absentia's post was referring to is the theory of how something like that could have happened in the first place. Meaning say if a woman has 4 children and she "raises...
