Today was burn brush day, so was out tending the fire.
Things to consider:
- The info about the bracelet, credit cards, and iPhone were released almost a month after the crime. We don't even know if that's all that was taken. Maybe the bracelet is the only recognizable piece that was stolen?
- The image of the perp leaving at 1:00 am Wed. could have come from a neighbor's house or maybe around the corner. The alley was taped off so it may have been the entry and/or exit point so a camera may have caught him coming out of the alley.
- AF was alive around 8:00 pm Tuesday, phone was not receiving by 11:00 pm.
- Scratches and cuts were also released just recently.
- Perp may become violent.
- AF may or may not have known the perp
- Her BF has probably already given DNA/ fingerprints, and been eliminated. He was there quite a bit, it HAS to be done so they can find the perp's fingerprint/DNA.
I think SPD is stuck.
They had plenty of time to find out what CC's she had. And they may have been with the iPhone 6. The cards are a dead end because they would have followed through if any charges were made on them. Any other BF or POI that friends or family knew about would no doubt already been discussed or pulled in for questioning. If the POI that SPD had originally focused on was hinky, he would have been pulled in by now. He would have possibly had the cuts, scratches, and the people around him might have missed him Tuesday and Wednesday. He may also not fit the perp caught on camera. He would have been eliminated by being asked to come in for questioning and giving DNA to eliminate him from the scene. DNA and prints have probably already been run through the system, no hit, perp is either good at it, or lucky.
They're appealing to the significant other (or family, roomate) of the perp. Did you receive a Tiffany bracelet from your SO (or son/friend) or does he have a new T & CO bracelet? Was your SO absent late Tuesday, early Wednesday? Did your SO have scratches or cuts on hands and/or arms right after the date of the crime? Do not confront your SO, he may become violent.
And he may posses a gun. Arizona does not require you to register your firearms or have an Arizona CCW to conceal carry. SPD *might* find a match ballisticly to another unsolved crime, but that would just be lands and grooves on the projectile.
The iPhone 6? Maybe it had the perps DNA on it, maybe she hit/threw it at him? SPD no doubt already subpoenaed her cell phone/text records.
Could it have been a handy man who cased out the place when he did a bid for a job? Did AF say she'd be out of town and he couldn't start working till she got back but the dates were wrong? Or was the intent sexual assault and he wanted her there? Or could it have been someone looking for the previous tenant, or maybe got the wrong house?
Quite possibly, all the things that were taken are in the canal.
Sounds like SPD has evidence, they just don't have a person to match it with.
Unless he's a person in the neighborhood, he's long gone.
