I would be more than happy to work with you on Carol's case. Your suspect is very interesting. Bloomington/Normal would definitely be within his time frame and territory. I definitely want to find out more on him. I was just thinking of a website linked to a Facebook page to include information...

Hi everyone, I am local and I was in high school when this happened. This was big when it happened, murder was rare in our community. We had two colleges then, Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University. If I remember correctly, Carol was found on the right side of the building...

All I can say is Thank God her father stayed motivated on keeping his daughter safe. I still can't believe someone would want to marry him, let alone date him.

Hi Trino, I think there are a lot of people like me, who are late catching up. This case intrigues me because of way too many items to list. I know I read a lot, I just don't post a lot. I'm trying to be patient & hope they (LE) are putting final touches on this case, they know who the perps...

:) Hi, I'm way behind on catching up on this, but I have been a life long hunter & you described deer hunting perfectly. We use the same rule as our military snipers, "One Shot, One Kill". I'm from Illinois & they just started allowing us to bring handguns with us into the field. If the deer...

Yep, I bet he has a NRA sticker on his vehicle but is not active at all in our group. I'll be glad to scrape it off with a crash axe for free.

You're right on the money Toby. Those are rules that legitimate shooters & hunters live by. Another one I teach & find that a lot of people do wrong, is never take the firearm off safe until you are ready to fire. Believe it or not, some think that once they are in the woods, the safety comes...

You are exactly right, you don't clean any firearm in that fashion. I have been handling & shooting firearms for over 40 years & I have yet to truly clean a "loaded" weapon. Someone mentioned a bovine meter on this & I agree, it's pegged as far as it can go toward this guy is a wife killer. I...

I posted in "The Weapons" thread on more of my thinking on one shooter. You can check there & give me your thoughts.

Have they said "high powered" or "high velocity"? To me, "high powered" could mean a shotgun or a large caliber weapon where the wound is large & destructive. At close range? "High Velocity" would mean to me a rifle used for large game hunting where distance is a factor. The wounds could be...

I've been a member for awhile but just don't post that much. This story grabbed me because it is so horrific. I will never understand murder but to kill these two harmless girls just bothers me. I can't even get close to why this killer or these killers felt compelled to do this. This is a death...

Hi, All firearms & ammunition can be traced back to a source. I'll try to keep it short but enough to let you know why it's so important to Law Enforcement. The mechanical actions of any firearms will leave unique markers on the type of evidence being looked at. The caliber would be the...

It smells like cat pee because of anhydrous ammonia. They use it in their cooking process. Theft from farmers & farm implement stores is high (No Pun). It's used as a nitrogen fertilizer. Come in contact with it & you suffer rapid dehydration & severe burns. It combines with the moisture in your...

I love dogs & they are usually much more "educated" than their owners. The boy & the hand story was in a movie or a TV show. It definitely wasn't reality. I'm plenty "educated", I just don't leave a firearm laying anywhere with a live round in it. It's the law of my state Illinois & the rule of...

Oh, does that happen! Man ceases to be the top intelligence once he enters the woods. I'm glad you & your daughter got to see that, it's pretty funny. Hunting with a camera is excellent. A lot of us older hunters bring our cameras into the woods with us. It's so beautiful, plus just watching the...

Hunter here! Sadistic? How about enjoying that gentleman being shot, that is sadistic. I was a Firefighter/E.M.T. for 10 years so being sadistic is not in this hunter's thoughts. Ahh..The "liquored up" fable. None of the people I hunt with drinks in the field, none of my friends do, I'll be...

Only4Justice, Yes, MS is an autoimmune disease where they think the body actually attacks the Central Nervous System, or CNS. They believe that the body feels that the myelin, a fatty protective sheathing of the nerves, is a foreign intruder so the immune system attacks it defending the body...

I have Multiple Sclerosis & I know they are using Baclofen for Restless Legs Syndrome now. It's a muscle relaxant & an antispastic drug used for MS patients. My sister has RLS & she takes Baclofen. I moved on to Zanaflex & I haven't heard anything yet if they are using it for RLS. It works...

Hi Strach, Sorry if their is any confusion on that one. The deer season with a bow runs from October until January here in Illinois. I would assume any other game's season would open November & run until January. No matter what he was using, he admits it & the blood turns out to be rabbit...

Hi Salem I bow hunt too & I'm also disabled with Multiple Sclerosis. All modern hunting bows are very lethal. Because of my disability, I qualify to hunt with a crossbow. To show you how lethal it is, a bunch of us hunted up at Ted Nugent's Sunrize Acres & I shot my Russian boar quartering...
