Hopefully they left some DNA cells on the cloths then.
I like Otto's idea of maybe we should start looking at other types of people who may be involved in this.
One thought that comes to mind is, maybe the reason LE isn't releasing any info to the public and/or asking for public's help is because someone has been arrested in another state and is currently being held in jail there and Iowa is making sure they have a case built (by gathering everything possible and getting their ducks in a row) and then also filing charges on the person in the near future?
Is there anyone from the area that has been arrested for a similar type crime in another state and is still currently jailed in another state? Or someone that's not even from the area but is jailed in another state for committing a similar type crime(s)?
Just some thoughts and maybe I'm crazy for even thinking this way....
I don't really know for sure what I think anymore :waitasec:
Authorities said Keith William McKay, 31, didn't update his registry information in Black Hawk County over the summer then left for Texas. There, he was indicted on federal charges of failing to register, and on Feb. 7, he was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison to be followed by 15 years of supervised release.
I had some errands to run in Waterloo one day in January. I had a babysitter for once and I was alone. I decided to stop in Evansdale and check out Maiden Ln. I read these threads daily. I drive by the lake near daily. Before this case I didn't even know Maiden Ln existed. I needed to see it.
I was under the false assumption that all the of the houses around the lake were fairly expensive homes. As I previously stated, I have a friend that lives on the lake. Her home is very nice. I'd never ventured beyond her street before. I am not very familiar with the city of Evansdale. I'm not originally from this area and I usually just drive by Evansdale on 20 without giving it any thought. I was surprised to discover that the houses around Maiden Ln are not nearly as nice. They are very small and many aren't in the best shape. It seems like the crime statistics could change rapidly over a matter of just a few streets. That said, the police station is so close to the area. I was shocked to discover the police station was so close. This perp either thinks himself invincible or simply doesn't care if he is caught. Could this be a meth-head? Could he have gotten this far strictly on chance?
I also checked out the lake parking lot. I had never actually driven into it before. It was a weekday in January. It was bitterly cold. It was between 10am and 11am. There aren't any businesses nearby - just houses. Yet, there were two cars sitting there running. Each had one man in them. One man was watching me like a hawk. The other man was reading and smoking and didn't look up. What were they doing there? It was like they were killing time on a break from work or something. Everything from surveillance to possible perps has run through my mind. Is this a place where people commonly meet up to carpool? Is there a larger business close enough nearby that employees might seek the park out as a spot to sit during a break? My whole point is that, if there were guys randomly sitting in cars on this day in January, who might have been randomly sitting in a car on that day in July?

Very good questions! Maybe the one checking you out was another Websleuther. :floorlaugh:
Actually, I think it is very common for someone that has extra time between meetings/appointments to stop at a park and relax for a little bit. My DH does on-site computer repairs and often has time to waste.
The question becomes, did someone that day take an extra long lunch hour, maybe miss an afternoon appointment or repair job?
For instance, I was looking at the website of an Evansdale business the other day that is currently for sale, including several vehicles (pick-up truck, cargo vans). So would a business like that have someone doing pick up & deliveries? Would anyone notice if their delivery guy had a couple of unaccounted for hours that day? And how many businesses are there in Waterloo/Evansdale that had folks out doing repairs/deliveries/etc.?

In our town the parks are sadly known for areas of drug dealing and also "hoodlum activity" which is simply loitering...especially parks where there isn't a lot of traffic coming through.
Even in the bustle of summer there are always cars just "sitting" as you witnessed. And I too find it's typically males...actually YOUNGER male (teens) /early to mid 20's is who I see.
I've never seen a girl or even a grown woman just sitting in the car at the park alone. They typically exit the vehicle (in the cases I've seen) and are on a bench, talking on their cell, or reading a book.
But our town has had to up patrol big time in the evening hours of summer because the parks is where tons of drug hand offs were happening...right in the parking lot. Now, COPS drive through there so often (in the summer anyway) that the kids had stopped going there. I'm sure it goes on still...just not as much.
I always make sure the people who are just sitting in their car KNOW that I've seen them. Some will leave right away which makes me suspicious.
And I feel bad! I do! I don't want anyone to feel like they can't go to the park and just hang out...but if they aren't doing anything wrong they'd have no reason to bail...other than the fact that I clearly made them uncomfortable.This case has just got me on edge about parks.

I have been reading articles and watching videos from early in the investigation, back in July. LE keeps saying a jogger saw the bikes at the lake, yet deny the man on a bike seeing the bikes. I really think they are getting these two mixed up.

Gee, I have sat in my car in parks, many many times on break eating my lunch or reading. I hope nobody thought I was a drug dealer or perp.
Welcome to the group. I just want to add my few cents to your comment and by no way am I being snarky. Perps come in all forms and from different backgrounds from rich to poor, black to white, druggy to non-drug user. So I don't think a nice house versus a kinda runned down house means anything. JMO
