Somebody works for the E Messenger? Seems personal
there are other issues here more important than the Eatonton Messenger IMO
Just logged in to send a link, probably mentioned before but I always thought that the D's were surprised and struck

Reading on BTK today, Also watched "I survived BTK" the story of the Otero children that survived or (weren't home when family was murdered)
Several things in the full BTK story I found interesting, but the fact that the LE thought a gun was used to subdue his victims since there were no defensive wounds on any of his victims
Which makes me wonder IF INDEED the head was taken to hide evidence but seems rediculous on the other hand that the perp could leave behind DNA in doing the beheading
But I think most of the victims of BTK were stabbed even tho gun used to control the victims, the OTERO family was all involved in judo, so a gun is a powerful thing I suppose
there are a few other things that made me think of this case
no forced entry in a few and also stalked them for years or months before attack, i think the Otero was years, IMBW
also murders were all committed within a 3 1/2 mile radius, i think he lived in that radius, it was familar to him they said, made me think of the fishing boat used, familiar territory
in addition wondered if maybe if gun was used, they did possibly kidnap SD first at gunpoint, then later killed her with butt of gun bft, maybe they shot him and realized they didnt' want to do that again (lot of work in hiding evidence ) or maybe didnt' shoot her because they were somewhere out in the open
IDK, speculating
But the 2nd Aug in about 3 weeks, will be 3 months
BTK struck again 3 months after the first Otero family murder
Sadly or gladly, however your view is, he didnt' strike again after his last 1979 murder for another 25 years, LE needed him to strike again sadly in hopes of new evidence to catch him
Dont' go in your houses without being on guard, perp could be hiding in your house
