Melissa Huckaby was the name of the perp that killed Sandra Cantu.
The time lapse makes me think that LE may have placed Klunder in Evansdale around the target time... but can't get any further. It might seem unlikely but such things have happened plenty of times in the past. If you look into the history of any serial killer, there were other murders happening at the same time that were unrelated.
While Evansdale is a small town, it is part of a metro complex, so it's not as small as the population suggests.
RE: While Evansdale is a small town, it is part of a metro complex, so it's not as small as the population suggests.
True Grainne Dhu, but imo, Evansdale being a small town may be another missing piece of the puzzle in MJ Klunder's pattern...KS & DH were also abducted from a small town.
Experienced psychopathic sexual predators as was MJ Klunder, are very aware of the investigative strategies, forensics, and other procedures utilized by law enforcement to link their crimes. This is evidenced by his use of various rural jurisdictions, stranger victims, methods of abduction, pre-planned ritual grounds, varying victim disposal, abduction/rape kit, etc.
MJK, imo, was very well versed, organized, and driven by drug induced fantasy and rage..
Heartless evil sociopaths such as MJK, who take pleasure from another human being's pain and the control of life and death over their victims, are masters of deception. Although low achievers, they are usually of higher intelligence, hone their skills with each abduction, and in many cases hybrids of predators past..

Evansdale Police Chief Kent Smock said he shares the frustration that there has been little progress to report in the case.
"I've never run into a case like this where there is just so little evidence that we found at the scene," he said. "This case has taken so many different twists and turns as we've followed up on it."

Officials will look for links to other cases
They will attempt to determine if Klunder was involved in others
State investigators in coming months will conduct a painstaking examination of potential similarities between the kidnapping and murder of a Dayton teenager and missing person cases in Iowa, a state official said Monday.
Potential connections are already being analyzed between Kathlynn Shepard’s murder and the slayings of two eastern Iowa cousins.
“Thankfully, we know for every county, every city, what unsolved missing persons cases they have,” said Gerard Meyers, assistant director of field operations of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
“We’ll want to look and see if there are any attributes from those cases that are at all consistent with this case.”
The analysis could, if warranted, go back years, Meyers said, including as far as Klunder’s boyhood.
