I had always expected that by now they would have found many more victims.Also from the article that I found telling: BC's wife asked the FBI spout having a restraining order placed on him......
This case gets weirder all the time.
Michelle Zortman was on The News Gazette's fb page a few hours ago arguing with another local in the comments of the article from today.. Juvenile argument. Really weird.
Is it still up, or have the comments been taken down?
In one of the articles, she is said to have told investigators that she thought her husband could have done it, and claimed she was afraid of him, then it’s later claimed that she contacted the FBI and asked about getting a restraining order against him. Really odd....
Do you have a link for this please? It is indeed weird.I just checked and it's still there. It's in the comments under someone else's comment.. So strange. All of it.
Smirking.Christensen seen smirking in court
URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) -- Lawyers for accused kidnapper and killer Brendt Christensen called for an emergency hearing to suppress evidence. Christensen is accused of killing UI scholar Yingying Zhang.
His lawyers found out the FBI searched his cell Friday. In court Monday, it was a nitty gritty process of asking special agents what led to and what happened during and after the search of Christensen's apartment last year.
In court, Christensen was seen smirking as details were described about how the FBI found him the night they searched his apartment.
[.....]
Christensen's prison cell was searched while he was in court in Peoria Friday. His attorneys called for an emergency hearing to address potentially suppressing that evidence. The attorneys decided, at the beginning of the day, they would discuss it further Tuesday.

I can't honestly tell for sure that it's even a car? Can you explain the context or the point? (looks like some sort of Google Earth photo?)View attachment 160746 is this bc car?
I always maintained searches were inadequate.Any sleuthers interested in discussing possible whereabouts of YY, I’m gonna be having coffee at aroma coffee shop in Champaign on Neil Street at about 3:00. Would love to get someone else thoughts on things I find important.
That does not look like his car to me. Front end looks too short, and does not appear to have a sunroof.View attachment 160746 is this bc car?
I blew your image up, here's what I got and I honestly see nothing that makes any sense at all, neither a car nor a fruit nor a vegetable. where did you obtain itThat does not look like his car to me. Front end looks too short, and does not appear to have a sunroof.
More importantly, what about the location and the date of the pic makes you think it might be his?
