    NM NM - Patty Pritz, 14, & Mattie Restine, 13, Carlsbad, 11 Aug 1961 - #1

    Since Willie Dee, knew the dumping ground, it stands to reason his kid, David, knew it too. Killers often leave bodies in areas that they are familiar with. There is much more circumstantial evidence linking David Blair with the crime than Nichols. But we have many more questions than answers.

    Willie Dee blair, father of David, and owner of the gun that Melton shot three rabbits with, clearly knew the area where the bodies were dumped. Melton apparently was the only one to have bagged some rabbits (& with Willie's gun), which indicates Willie had another motivation for being out...

    The placement and location of the bodies suggests Blair was a more likely killer. He wanted to distance them from his residence in Carlsbad, yet make a statement. Blair is saying "Good Girl" about Mattie (like he doesn't have anything personal against her) because she is fully clothed and...

    I do not think Nichols to be the killer for several reasons. If he had been, he would have dumped the bodies either where he killed them (in Carlsbad) or back along the highway towards Pecos, Texas. Nichols would not have taken the bodies to the west. Killers are both lazy and pragmatic, they...

    Am I the only one who is having trouble posting? I've repeatedly tried to post and the site has claimed that I am logged off, when I know I am logged on.

    Sunshine 1950, As I've told you privately, everything you've said here, at the Argus thread and to me by e-mail is backed up by Estrada's investigation. I'm not done with reading it & taking notes, but I think Investigator Estrada did an excellent job. But it was never completed. There is...

    Sunshine 1950 - you've posted the best material I've ever seen on Websleuths. Keep it coming. Estrada pointed out that there were indications of a "cover-up" and a 1972 attempt to re-open the case met a "deadend". You would think that people in Carlsbad would be up in arms to have the case...

    Jurisdictional disputes are very common in law enforcement and there are a multitude of different branches. FBI, ATF, DEA, U.S. Marshalls, Border Patrol, Tribal Police - and that's just the Feds! This country was slow to recognize serial killers because LE believes in its own backyard - "don't...
