Does anyone find it interesting that Sills has reached out to JAX detectives. Sills is most definitely following the money trail.
No Razz, imo Sheriff Sills reached out to the JAX cold case detectives due to attending the FBI academy in Quantico, VA, with Jacksonville Sheriff John H. Rutherford, and to soften the criticism for not requesting the GBI special agents to assist in the Dermond murder investigation.. Why would SS call in cold case detectives from another state, if solving the Dermond murders case looked very promising?
Seems, Jacksonville has quite a few cold case homicides that they could use some help with themselves..
Jacksonville families seek answers in unsolved homicide cases April 24-2014
Families seek justice for their loved ones
http://compassionatefamilies.org/3/category/unsolved murder/1.html
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Families whose loved ones were killed violently in Jacksonville held a forum Thursday night with law enforcement to get answers on unsolved homicide cases. The meeting was set up like a question and answer discussion.
The families said they want justice for their loved ones and they want to see it take place at the courthouse. Many of them said they have been waiting too long. Beverly Jenkins represents just one of more than 10 families who are looking for justice. "I'm here tonight to ask questions and get answers," said Jenkins.
Each person wrote their concerns on a sheet of paper for members of law enforcement to answer.
One audience member expressed frustration about calling the detective working her son's homicide case but never getting a response. That detective's supervisor, Sgt. T.K. Waters, responded to the question. "There are a lot of things going on that we have to tend but there is never an excuse for no call back, but what I can do, I will make this pledge to you, that individual and make sure that those calls are being returned," said Waters.

From the beginning of the investigation, authorities acknowledged that cracking the case might prove difficult.
