Hi all I'm new here. But anyway when I first heard about this story a few days ago it hit me like a sack of bricks. When I was at Ball State in Indiana durring the 93-94 school year there was a guy in my friends dorm that vanished after leaving a party. LE found him a week later in the White river with a broken nose. LE said that he most likely commited suicide or tried to walk on the retaing wall and fell off. We all knew this was a croc. Also that same year a short time after that, it was either my friend at Evansville or IU that told me somebody had dissapeared there and was found in a river. This is why I think this investigation needs to go back even further. I feel that this is some type of Manson Family like cult that is using young women to lure men to their deaths. Also there needs to be much more coverage on this. Why hasn't this been on Nancy Grace, Geraldo, or Greta. Is it because they are men and not women. If 3 women had dissapeared on there way home from a bar in Lacrosse and where found in the river Lacrosse would have been crawling with media and LE. But this happens to 7 men and they are just cast away as druken idiots.
Welcome porkchop!
I agree with you. This is reverse discrimination. If it were women there would be a panic starting. It also reflects the attitude toward alcohol consumption that kind of says, "Hey if you're drinking, you get what you deserve!" The police dismiss each death as due strictly to drunkeness or make the leap to suicide, without even looking into the character of the victims or even the condition of the body before they jump to a conclusion and a mindset.
These are the same cops who were probably tanked up plenty when they were young! What a hypocritical attitude. What lazy LE officers.
I can tell you, my son fits this profile to a "t," and yes, he and his friends indulge in alcohol on the weekends. For better or worse. I warn him about the risks and of course, all parents worry about this. Nevertheless, many of us did the same thing in college. It's the nature of the beast. It doesn't mean these young men's murders should be dismissed as accidents when they are clearly NOT!
Also, a few pages back someone posted about Randall Flagg, the character in Stephen King's The Stand, with the smiley face on his jacket. I read that book about 3 times - the character was pure evil and yes, was a hater of sociable, happy people. I find that very interesting because that book had almost a cult following, if I remember right.
I also agree with a poster who said, this group may be effecting a sort of "revenge of the nerds." When I look at the victim profile, what I sense is resentment, jealousy and envy on the part of the murderer/s.
Sorry to not credit these two posters, I am hurrying and can't take time to go back and quote them right now but I wanted to get in this thought.
