Does anyone think that the Dayton, Iowa case where two girls were abducted less than a year after this abduction is related in any way? I know that the person responsible for that took his own life after but could he have any connection to these girls or has that been ruled out at this point? I just found it odd that there would be two different people kidnapping young girls in pairs so close together.
I still wonder how they excluded him. *skeptical*
I wonder about that too it seems like he would be the perfect suspect. What would be the chances there would be two people working basically the same area with the same MO? Maybe they have some DNA evidence they are not making public but I don't know. I do know that there was another man arrested after that he was trying to get little girls in his car by offering them a hundred dollars to help him with a job. He has been named as a possible suspect but I don't think he fits the MO he approached at least 19 girls across the state but when they declined his offer he drove off.

Since we don't know the determining factors in their rule out, we have to go on faith here. However, being "1.5 hours away" is close enough for another look....out of an abundance of thoroughness. JMO. I'd like to know if he had ties to Delphi as well....The article I posted says how they excluded him. They looked at several different ways of determining his location and found out that he could not have been in Evansdale on the day in question (they believe based on the information they analyzed that he was about 1.5 hours away). It also says they ran other types of tests but would not elaborate.
LE do not usually announce that someone is ruled out like this so I'm guessing that the evidence they have was quite strong and they probably had multiple separate proofs that he was not in Evansdale during the time of the kidnapping.

Amateur opinion and speculation
Other than the no discussion media and timeline thread, this is the only open thread regarding the girls. There's also all the closed threads that you can still read.Is this the only thread regarding the girls? Sorry I’m new to this...it’s been 8 years; Elizabeth would have turned 17 on July 31st this year. Still no arrest
A few days prior to the abductions, Lyric had spent time with an older cousin. Was one of the Stechmans that older cousin?
She was with their Aunt Tammy’s daughter (whom is heather and mistys sister), I do know that.
also I find it rather odd that a weekish prior to them disappearing, Lyric was apparently almost abducted according to misty and dan when they called law enforcement to report her missing. Turns out she was with her cousin (Tammy’s daughter) that time too. My point is, who just jumps the gun and thinks their child has been abducted without first calling family and friends. Who just assumes that right away and calls the cops...unless perhaps there had been threats made to either of the parents of that nature.
