And to add to the confusion, we have a witness - OR witnesses - that saw someone entirely different leading to the obviously younger sketch in 2019. Of course that wasn't confusing enough so ISP's Doug Carter says a week or so later that the killer is a combination of the two sketches...
Or at a great distance from Tomball, since TX is a rather large state. In any event I agree that the shooter was not the owner - just someone with access to it.
No activity here in over a year. Nothing turns up in a Google search going back a year. So I'm bumping this up and also bumping up the previously mentioned news article which is the last I've seen from media or LE...
LE has said nothing that I can find when doing a Google search over the last year. Some tidbits such as this from Malibu Daily News from August of last year. Elaine Park - Malibu Daily News
There are also a couple of YouTube videos that pop up in that search on the first page.
About the only thing I see in the last year on Ben. NBC's Missing in America series. And it is from 2018.

Somewhere in the past posts LE says they have CCTV footage of...
Chop shop vs water. With the chop shop there might be potential witnesses. That is, someone at the shop might be arrested on another charge and might ask for a deal. Chop shop might involve others not directly involved in the murders. Water might also involve a witness. Such as a second...
Which leaves us pondering - what was the motive? IF this was a hit, I can see the killer following one of them. Of course, with this scenario, one of them might be the target and the other was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I see what you're saying about a hit man. But it just seems...
The Dan Merkel murder?!?!? I didn't realize some possible similarities here. Like a lot of others I thought of the Missy Bevers case or the Marlene Warren murder in 1990's by a killer dressed as a clown. To be sure, I don't lean toward Missy's case as one where she was targeted but rather...
I tend to lean toward the killer being a man simply because crimes of this nature are usually committed by a male. But I see enough to consider the killer being a woman so I haven't seen enough to completely go in one direction or another.
As for the truck if the killer used their own (and I...
After listening to the private investigator on "Gone At 21" podcast I realized there were other potential suspects. But now this character has revealed (or possibly a version for the court) that he is the one responsible for her demise I'm upset that the max he can get is 3 years!!!!! What a...
I would never have thought that with the video this would still be unsolved over 5 years later. I do wonder if LE has a list of possible suspects that they are looking at.
Unfortunately, outside of Federal crimes, most non-Federal sentences have the possibility of time off for good behavior. And this guy doesn't appear to be the type to stir up trouble in prison. I hope ALL of it is hard time and not in country club prison with the white collar crooks.
I just did a Google Search from the last time I did (Nov 2023) to present. Nothing from media or LE. There are some posts in the Heidi Childs & David Metzler Memorial Group facebook page around Heidi's birthday in Dec, but other than that not much considering the brutality of the crime.
