There have been some significant improvements recently at the site of this very sad event. The city has taken down two sections of the maintenance shed that dangerously blocked sight lines at that point of the bike path. It's much better now -- and would be better still if they removed the...

It is not pitch dark, but mostly dark at the time of the crime. The thing, though, is, like tonight, it was a night when UO had a big football game -- so there were a lot of people inside watching the game that evening.

All just community chat, of course, but I have heard a story (can't vouch for its accuracy) that a resident of one of the searched properties has a son close to David's age, who was a friend of David. Like I said... just a bit of info (correct or not) that is floating around town.

There's a little more information here, and also a link to a video interview with the police chief at the sight of the Talent search. http://www.dailytidings.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121114/NEWS/211140312

I have been thinking about it getting close to the anniversary. I'm sure many have been. I walk by there everyday. A bench and a light are being installed, a commemoration. The shed the murderer must have hid behind is still there. I wish they'd tear it down. It's awful, it's dangerous...

http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Records-Bloody-machete-led-to-Lake-Oswego-arrest-3893635.php This is another machete murder from about a week ago in Lake Oswego, OR. This article says the suspect was a transient. Can't help but wonder about a possible connection.... I'm sure law...

I am pretty sure the police are still working very hard on the Grubbs case. It's disappointing there hasn't been any resolution of it yet. I feel very badly for his friends and family, and also the community which has to carry on knowing the person who killed David Grubbs may well still be in...

http://www.localnewscomesfirst.com/index.php?option=com_seyret&Itemid=431&task=videodirectlink&id=11044 This was on the local news last night. Nothing new really, but a sense of what's going on right now with the investigation. There's a shot in there of a table at the Police Dept. with lots...

David was walking east to west, and from that direction you can not see the parking lot until you are right upon it, nor can you see anyone on the west side of the parks dept. maintenance shed. It really is a completely blind stretch for someone walking or biking on the path. I have seen many...

Scaryworld, that spot is actually an easy one for someone to hide and ambush a person on the bike path. It could, as you say, easily been someone in a car near the curb, but also the parks dept. maintenance shed there and the large trees around it create natural "hiding places". I know because...

Yes, it was reported to the police. At first they didn't follow up with the kid, but later they did. I guess it didn't help them enough though... sad. When I was a kid there was a murder sort of like this... out-of-blue, random, in a small town where things like that didn't happen, on a...

Just a thought about swords... I have always thought it is more likely this was a machete. Most swords that people have are merely decorative. I have an adult kid myself who has several decorative swords. They are popular with boys, especially those that like fantasy stories -- Tolkien, King...

The local paper today describes the sword they collected when they arrested Mollo in Yreka as "decorative" -- meaning not sharp, not a real weapon. The woman formerly referred to as his girlfriend, is now being referred to only as someone he as known for a long time. She was quoted in the...

Yes, Caramel, here is a tidbit from a 2005 article that supports it being the same Michael Mollo in the article about the theater piece in Fullerton in 1994: http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050809/BIZ/308099995&cid=sitesearch

Wow, Caramel... that may be just some brilliant sleuthing. Same name, same home town, right age. I thinking you may be on to something. This story gets weirder and weirder. There was a very touching story in the local paper today of David Grubbs' mom and his sister and some of his friends...

I searched the local paper for more about Michael Mollo and the police have been familiar with this guy at least since 2005. The house he ran into in the recent August pruning shears incident is a house that is notorious in the neighborhood (I work in this neighborhood) for being a major drug...

I remember when this happened last August. Here's the article about it: http://www.dailytidings.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110804/NEWS/108040325&cid=sitesearch Wow. This would be such a big relief if it turns out to be the guy.

LE did say at the community meeting that it would appear that is, at least, someone who knows the area since that spot isn't one occasional visitors would be likely to know about. The officer referred to it as "remote", but it's not remote at all. However it isn't on the well-worn visitor path...

I went the meeting last night. It was packed. Afterwards I asked one of the officers if the forensic expert who's being flown in would be looking at the hack marks on the nearby tree trunks and he said, yes, they are looking at those. There's quite a few -- at least 5 trees right on that...

I thought about that, but since they've basically just been on a fishing expedition from the start I don't know why they would have been holding on to it if it's something they really thought could lead them to a suspect or a witness. I was interviewed by them on two occasions. As several of...
