Lots of recent activity on the FB page, although many posts and comments are being deleted. A new film recently released. And lots of activity on the thread here before it was closed. It sounds like there are some viable leads to be investigated and a good deal of public interest in this cold case. It gives me hope that there can still be justice for these girls, or at least some answers for their loved ones.
An individual claimed to be the girlfriend of a man who was from the Wiregrass area. She stated that she had heard that he was responsible for the murders and that she had reported this to the police. Various group members made local authorities aware of the allegation. The brother of the alleged murderer is currently in prison for the kidnapping and rape of a woman and child in Ozark, Alabama.
My impression is that she has just reported the information in the last week or so. (At least publicly). Last year, the guy was involved with a long standoff with police in Alaska (Google his name and the information is available) in which he reportedly threatened his girlfriend and shot up his home. I don't know whether or not this is the same girlfriend, but it wouldn't surprise me. She has alerted authorities according to her and others on the FB page- again, not sure, but I think it was recently.
Killarney Rose, I sent Bessie a message yesterday asking about the thread but haven’t heard back yet. I will let you know when she replies.
Yes. This is the case that brought me to Websleuths. I think about these girls and their families all the time.I would really like to see this thread started up again. This case NEVER needs to be forgotten!
