RichKelly, sorry to keep bugging you and really I do try to distance myself from L&L's case; however, there have been two recent attacks of women, one in Evansdale, and one at Waterloo (George Wyatt State park).
I have a link for the attack on the young woman at George Wyatt State Park (which is where Misty and Lyric often went to swim after Misty's release from the halfway house):
Authorities used motorcycles and ATVs to search for the suspect, who was believed to have been contained within the park. The man is believed to be white with lighter colored hair and in his 20s, according to a post on the Cedar Valley Crimestoppers Facebook page. He may also have scratches on his arms and face and irritation from poison ivy.

My question for you, are these attacks likely to be related to L&L's killer(s)? Or completely unrelated?
No bother at all I voluntarily offered my insight on this thread, (Which I stopped doing for awhile) but I more than welcome questions
My feeling is that its unrelated, I can't say without reading victim interviews case files etc. There's a chance neither attack on the adults themselves are even related .
Now that doesnt mean Im right, remember Im going off news reports essentially. But I dont feel it is related.
We realize you are retired Law Enforcement, but would current Law Enforcement have a way of looking up sales of specifically older, boxy, white SUVs?
You can look up records of title transfers around that time, but those are unreliable as some people will sell or inherit a car and never transfer over the title.
Add to that you're looking at mountains of vehicle transfers , (if t he title was transferred at all) just within the 5 month span between their disappearance and their recovery .
We don't know when or even if the offender has transferred a vehicle, or if he had it painted then sold it , could be sitting in a barn, in a junkyard, he could have drove it into a lake and called it in stolen, set it on fire and claimed the INs money for it .... Though it SOUNDS like a viable option in terms of investigating this case, it's a daunting task .
Theres also always the chance it wasn't even his vehicle , maybe he had a rental or , possibly a company vehicle where at worst he would have to account for mileage when it was returned, once a rental is returned its cleaned by the rental service, ...that reduces the chance of trace evidence.
In particular, any record of auction of white law enforcement vehicles, cruisers, park ranger vehicles, etc. that had their law ID stickers removed?
Most agencies will remove all identification stickers prior to sending a vehicle to auction, they are responsible (at least here they are) for removing anything that identifies which locale or district they are from.
Decals that say "Police" or "Sheriff" etc.. can be left on the vehicles , however the ones that identify the dept must be removed (again here) .
Who houses those records depends on who actually sells them, some auto auctions will buy bulk vehicles from a department upon their retirement from the fleet and sell them . In those cases the vehicle titles are transferred to the Auction company.
Those auction houses generally remove all identifiable placards and decals, because it would cost a buyer extra to have them removed then the vehicle re-painted (can tell ive done this before)
Because its more costly and often involves welding etc..few remove things like light bars etc...
Hope that helps
