Found Deceased CO - Natalie Bollinger, 19, Broomfield, 28 Dec 2017 #1 *Arrest*

[losangeles24]

Sorry. Forgot the copy and paste rule. Also it’s a public post, just glitches because it includes a video and he posts 500 videos a day. It shows up for me in the app but not safari mobile.

SS posted a message he allegedly received from Natalie about her life story. Basically said her dad abused her mom and step moms. He had her and her sister sell drugs for him, and did drugs with them at 14, and got “a little too friendly” with them so her sister reported it. (I think this is why SS continually refers to her Dad as a molester). It said when he would drink, he got very violent and once tried to kill her stepmom by slamming her head into a curb. Natalie was put in foster care at some point and almost put in a group home until she was 21 because she was getting high so much. She went to live with her mom in VA instead.

Also, earlier it was asked how I knew he had his car impounded in VA. I believe he says it in a video. He had to walk crazy far for the RO hearing since he no longer had a car.

Yes I believe he also walked at 1 am,using a cane the whole way the day he was to meet her at Starbucks,per her request.
He stated it was a 6 hour walk .He had begged on fb for a friend to go with him as he didn't want to be accused of anything and wanted a witness, but I guess no one offered so he ended up walking .
When he got there,cops served him with the restraining order.

I think Natalie was likely the first person in a long time to ever be nice to him and show him friendship. I think his disabilities caused him to become obsessed with her. I know when I was her age, there were times I was just like “I’m done” and then wanted all communication with the person to end. I have a feeling that was the case here, but he couldn’t process that. I think he felt that she was the only good thing in his life and the only one who understood him.

 

[BRRI]

Another thing. He seems very frail. Walks with a cane. I’m not sure if he physically could dump a body on his own. In a field.

 

[DAnthrplgst]

She filed a restraining order against him.

The RO and his feelings don't cancel each other out. What I mean by that is that his urge to "protect" her is viewed as a positive by himself but to Natalie it's creepy and over the line. If he sees himself as her white knight then he isn't going to necessarily destroy the object of his protection, even if she rejects his "protection" by way of a RO.

While I'm posting here. Please lets all remember that when we are discussing Natalie's conversations about SS or anyone else and their apparent activities, positive or negative, we are only getting her side of the story. The fact that she is a victim does not negate the possibility that she may have exaggerated in her statements about SS or his actions. I am NOT bashing Natalie so please don't make that assumption, I am merely pointing out that we are only hearing her side at this point. Is there any solid evidence for her accusations against SS that he "slept behind her workplace" or did anything else she alleges he did? In my limited experience with RO/PO (not as the creep mind you, as a bystander watching others get them) it's quite easy for a young female to get a RO/PO with no actual evidence beyond their sworn statement in court that X-person did or said something. AGAIN, for those who like to get worked-up, I AM NOT calling Natalie a liar or bashing her, I am pointing out the reality of the situation.

O/T: I really hate that I have to make repeated statements about my intentions that should be obvious.

I think that the mother in the Mariah Woods case was allowed to be sleuthed too, wasn't she?

That was because of actual CPS documents that indicate some pretty shady things about her, though. Not just social media or online gossip.

 

[Steleheart]

I'm very surprised by Tricia's decision that we can sleuth him. It's the first time I see that here on WS (sleuthing allowed for a non-POI/suspect).

Ron Logan in the Delphi murders of Abby and Libby was allowed as well. His was a high profile property search and he was not POI. Every case is different. Circumstances create gray areas, IMO

I mean I’m sure the RO/PO state a lot in this case, and many interviews with the Sheriff or people involved with the case all revolve around SS and his posts. He’s not a named suspect but a key player in this..as per LE

I get the impression that he wouldn’t be able to leave her all alone in a field.

 

[HopelessinCa]

I think he is very capable of murder. His anger was very open. In anger strength comes very easily.

Yeah... I'm not so sure of that either. Could definitely see him being capable of violence (he seems to have a lot of rage), but the logistics of a frail guy with a cane being able to dump her body on his own doesn't seem super likely, although if I remember correctly Natalie weighed about 90 lbs, so she was quite petite... and who knows what's possible with adrenaline. But /if/ he had something to do with her death and /if/ someone were to help him hide a body, who would it be when he really seems to imply that he's not got anybody super close to him, especially I-will-help-you-dump-a-body close?

I can really see him having everything or nothing to do with it. I'm glad LE is seemingly being thorough. The very public social media fiasco of it all easily turns public opinion, either the right or wrong way.

JMO.

We don't know if he possibly had access to a car even if not his own? Anyway NB's body wasn't that well hidden. Maybe she met him there? I don't know why she would having taken a RO out on him though.

A passerby found Bollinger’s body in the area of the 11600 block of Riverdale Road, and responding deputies found the body in a wooded area off the street.

SO she was not far off the road and spotted easily it seems. As much as I think SS is the most obvious candidate, his situation makes him a perfect fall guy for a frame up IMO.

Obsession can most definitely be linked to murder, even in those people who see themselves as the victim's protector. People capable of both obsession and murder do not think like the average person. And killing someone isn't always premeditated.

Edit: I also wanted to add that its likely she would have got the order on the online stalking alone, regardless of the other events. But I don't get the feeling that she needed to make anything up to convince a judge.

RSBM. Yep! This. I think they both helped each other out/talked to each other about their issues initially. Then I think Natalie found SS too full on and he didn't know how to process that she simply didn't want to talk to him anymore. After they were friends for a year, that would be hard for anyone, let alone someone like SS. I personally can't really see him progressing to murder though. I think he would have killed himself before her.

Yep! Was going to say this but didn't know how to word it. I agree 100%. There is some stuff on her profile (ie; in regards to the cause of her car accident) that I personally got the impression is not 100% the truth. IMO MOO. This is opinion, not fact. Not trying to bash, just saying :moo:

In any case, there is a young girl dead. I hope her killer/s are bought to justice. RIP Natalie.

 

[BRRI]

SS said he drove to Virginia because she asked him to and because she was hurt badly in the accident and mentioned killing herself. Now, he says a lot of things about suicide, so he could have made that up, but just worth stating here

 

[Rob774]

First of all, RIP to a life taken too soon.

Second, I just spent a few minutes on SS's FB. I really hope this guy didn't do it. Because if he did, his pleas of innocence, coupled with his taunting of the family and BF and posting pictures of her will go down as one of the most disturbing cases I've ever seen.

I get it, police cleared him, that just means that don't have anything on him at "this" time. Doesn't mean they aren't compiling evidence as we speak. This is an interesting case, sadly... all for the WRONG reasons.

 

[Inthedetails]

I agree that anger can summon up strength in a person....but she would've been fighting back. So there is a frail man with a cane against a 19yo woman fighting for her life....if that is the scenario (which I have a hard time believing).

It does look like a set up....but, honestly, I think SS's involvement with NB is a strange coincidence in this death. I could be wrong, of course. jmo

I agree with her fighting back. I am waiting to see autopsy report for toxicity. He was a stalker for awhile. I am sure he was very familiar with her habits in daily life. Just a thought.

In the thinking he was familiar with her everyday life striking her from behind could be a possibility to subdue her. I am just thinking of different scenarios. His disability is a very big concern if he had the strength. I go back and forth on it.

Just to clarify, LE has not cleared him. They just are not ready to name anyone as a suspect
