Those of you who relentlessly pursued Dan should apologise directly, by mail or email. The main thing he did suspicious for many of you was live a slightly unconventional life of a quiet unmarried man. Police investigation is in no way evidence of guilt. The bigotry against those who are a...

Ok, thanks. Do you know how easy/hard it is to get find historical tire tread patterns? Who besides the FBI has this info? The manufacturers? 777

Agreed. It's hard to focus on valuable new information -when it occasionally arrives- if the thread topic is repeatedly changed. 777

I think you are the most valuable person regularly posting here, many thanks. Is there any other implied action that this suggests? For instance, would it equally work for climbing onto a bike, a motorcycle or someone's back? I very much appreciate your posts that look at different ideas...

AFAIK one of the only regular contributors to this thread with highly relevant expertise is tracker. He's stated repeatedly that the media are not always reliable in reporting relevant evidence. All the so-called evidence against DR is not really evidence at all - it is media reporting...

Besides looking at MF more closely, I would tend to agree that the criminal is someone no one has discussed. (except that the real criminal is/was possibly discussed by the police, who are inexplicably keeping potential suspects and evidence secret 25 years after an unsolved crime....)...

Ok, I hear you. Let's keep all plausible ideas open. Criminal conspiracies are just very rare. Furthermore, if they're specifically targeting Jacob hanging around the neighborhood after dark on a Sunday night is no way to get at him. This is someone who saw Jacob that night and made a...

As for houses beyond the abduction scene, not many. Maybe 15 or 20? MF spotting the boys on the road and pulling a quick abduction by pulling in the nearest driveway makes the most sense to me of any scenario I've heard. No hard-to-believe assumptions needed to make this work. He's...

I have only been to the area as a visitor, so I can't say - but if 7-11 is truly a rare thing in MN than this quote from what is supposed to be MF might be questionable - namely that the email version of his alibi on the other website is not really from MF and instead from someone who lives in a...

Good summary of known facts about MF. Many thanks. The idea of him first of all admitting to being on Jacob's tiny little street that night is way too much. Second of all, he admits to being at the Tom Thumb. One thing though, if we 100% believe Kevin's version of events then the...

Good point, thanks! The Green River Killer was cleared by the cops once or twice way before he was convicted because of his 'solid' alibi. After many more victims were killed and a big fat incriminating clue appeared the police finally re-evaluated his alibis correctly and realized he was an...

Amy's killer was IMO found by the FBI and Robert Ressler who says about the prime suspect in his book Whoever Fights Monsters: "The day that the finding of Amy's body was reported in the newspapers, the suspect mixed dry gas in a glass of Coke and drank it, committing suicide."* This suspect...

As for the boys experiencing the menacing car a few weeks before Jacob, it's the kind of thing I experienced as a boy. There is or was a definite kind of ongoing harassment / hazing / abuse of younger boys by older boys in certain communities. It's hard to make all the known evidence in this...

^^^this^^^ Assuming the email sent to the website is accurate, MF has voluntarily placed himself at the right time and place to abduct Jacob. This little email is something of an alibi-explanation to anyone who might have seen him that night in all the wrong places. Sounds like BS, sounds...

777's numbering scheme of Shergal's footprint photos referenced in discussion below 1.....2.....3.....4 5.....6.....7.....8 9....10...11...12 We know Jacob was facing south from the shadow evidence. Pictures 1, 2 & 3. We know the tire track they are making plaster casts of is getting...

Ok, I admit I have never looked much at tire tracks before this case. But, I have read a lot of hearsay. Here's a track-related thought chain for your consideration: The driveway is undoubtedly two hard-packed ruts corresponding to where the tires repeatedly drive over the decades...

So there's no other evidence of his guilt other than he was in the right place at the right time; the abduction happened on his property. I don't consider other people's opinion as evidence of guilt. Not the cops. Not Patty's. Their record in solving this case speaks for itself. 777

Sure. I think so. I think the Pontiac 6000 was an A platform GM product....which translates into something like a very generic looking square shaped car that all GM families offered....Chevy, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick. (not sure about Cadillac though..) Really, most GM products from this...

I'm just going to have to strongly disagree with this. You're imagining that the state records are the main source of car records and that their 'rules' control the data. This is wrong. I do insurance work occasionally and we've pulled up cars as far back as the 1960s with no information...

MICKELHAM is red 777 is black and then becomes blue Do you see MF's talent-scout-type work as a vehicle to satiate a sexual need or is that going too far? I think it was an opportunity to "scout" future victims. Certainly after the fact I can see how he groomed some of his most recent victims...
