Kell1 - I really like your post and wanted to say that your comment, "The killer usually has the most familiarity with the body recovery site..." makes a lot of sense. I could see a killer coming across a victim in a variety of places that they may not be that familiar with, but they have a quick opportunity to remove the victim from that area. It makes sense that the body recovery site is more likely to be an area that the killer is more familiar/comfortable with since they probably spend more time here - for the crime itself and maybe even to return to after the crime.
I was curious about your statement that "the murder scene is usually within 200 feet if where the bodies are recovered". I'm not questioning or doubting your comment, but I'm just curious as to what criteria are included in this statistic and how that could potentially skew the result. For example, does the result look only at murders where the body was removed from the "kill location" or did it look at all murders? Does it look only at murders where the killer was known to have moved the body or does it also look at cases where a body may have ended up a distance from the kill scene for "other" reasons - such as a body that was placed in water and carried by currents or a crime where the victim lived long enough to try to flee from the scene before they succumbed to their injuries?
I'm just wondering if the "200 ft" could be falsely skewed on the lower side of the spectrum if it looks at all murders since many murders do not result in a body having been moved from the scene. I would be interested in seeing what the statistic might be when looking only at the distance between an abduction site and a recovery site where it is known that the killer placed the body.
I would also be curious to see if the distance between the abduction site and the recovery site is affected by how old and/or experienced a killer is? I would think that a "newer" killer may be more likely to panic and therefore "dump" a body more quickly than a more experienced killer.
I would love to hear what others think of this. I think that if there are studies about this, the information could be very helpful to LE in evaluating the distance between the two sites and looking at possible suspects and their familiarity/proximity to both abduction and recovery sites while keeping in mind a possible suspects "experience".
Sorry if this is rambling, but sometimes I read someone else's post(s) and it makes me brainstorm.
Wow, it’s great to come back after another absence and find some really interesting posts!
This has probably been discussed in prior posts which I haven’t had a chance to read:
He [Drew] said he has new hope after hearing online DNA profile websites have recently helped police catch murderers years later.
“I am hoping technology that is on the edge of coming out or something that is recent or new will bring this case to a close,” Collins said.

We have often discussed whether any useful DNA was found on the girls or at the crime scene. My interpretation of Drew’s statement is that some DNA was found.
Any comments?
I think it would be interesting to know what evidence could have been recovered from the crime scene after 5 months.
What condition would that evidence be in after so much time and exposure to the elements? It would be wonderful if technology improves enough to link that evidence to a possible suspect.
Not just for these sweet girls but for many other victims.

When I look at these two little girls, I get so ANGRY that someone out there probably knows who killed them but hasn’t yet come forward!
I know it is really upsetting and frustrating I am hoping the recent reward announcement may have brought some leads.
It is nice to have you back @Marilynilpa I hope you are well.
A man tried to snatch two girls walking home from school in South Carolina. He asked them to go with him to a park.

Probably zero connection to this case, but I thought I’d pass it along.
It’s my personal opinion that the girls had not been at Seven Bridges for 5 months. I believe they were killed not long before their bodies were found.I think it would be interesting to know what evidence could have been recovered from the crime scene after 5 months.

I’ve been asked to provide a synopsis of this case to a podcast producer. If he likes it, I’ll write an entire podcast about our girls. I’ll provide more details if this takes place.
I hope this will do some good.
