I will comment about Crilley and the fact that, again, she can't be the blonde in the orange chair. Crilley's boyfriend (Leon Borstein) at the time of her murder was then Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney. He then was chief special prosecutor for New York City and since is retired. I would imagine that his interest in this case would be very high since he was at first suspected in the murder of Crilley. I would imagine also that he has seen the 200+ photos released (if not all 2000 of them) and would have identified this girl as Crilley if it was her. Just because there is a suitcase next to the girl in the chair doesn't mean that we should jump to the conclusion that this woman is a stewardess as Crilley was. Perhaps they are Alcala's suitcases or maybe neither of theirs.
There
are photos of east coast photos in the collection we saw...assuming that the two living areas that we have seen where he has multiple peoples photos, are his apartment in California and the other one in NY.
I agree with you that there are not a lot of photos on the web of Crilley or Hover, but their really doesn't need to be to "match" these two with Alcala's photos since their families and friends would certainly be able to recognize them in the photos and you can bet that if you or I were family members of someone that we felt killed our loved one, we would be watching every word said about Alcala. It is my understanding that his DNA was matched to both women.
It's hard in sleuthing not to try to fit ones own personal thoughts, fantasies, wild ideas, whatever it is that we all call our speculations into what we share. But, often times we find that too many wild hypotheses just serves to muddy the water even more. I know that WS is here for us to share our thoughts, but I just think that we can get caught up on one idea (especially if we've thought of it) and don't keep an open mind about other possibilities...ones that could truly be helpful.
I'm not directing this at you...just a general statement for all of us to remember to keep our minds free to ideas. When something is laid to rest, as the Crilley and Hover cases are (in terms of the fact that they are deceased, and photos of them, even if they were in Alcala's stash (which I would find
extremely unlikely), would have been identified by now.
Hopefully this makes sense...it's late!
