What about an uncle and a nephew? How similar are their DNA?Question: If siblings are very similar in their optics, would their DNA show more similarity than in case, when the siblings look very different?
Charlot123?
I guess you could replace it with a pic of a real person. ;-)I want an arrest as soon as possible - can't stand my avatar any longer (my suspect is looking the same)!
Welcome Jeeps. Great first post. The girls did have older step or adopted brothers and Libby has an older sister and two younger half sisters. The extended family is large on Libby's side and friends following her SC would also be aware so the people who knew would be a large number IMO. Although it appeared a spur of the moment decision to go to the bridge, they were up late the night before and could have shared plans online. Also, Abby had a FB account and a boyfriend from another school that her mother was unaware of (source - James Renner interview). Pinning down their contacts has been a large part of the investigation IMO.
I agree that pinning down their contacts would have been among one of the first things LE would do. This may be what the statement about "on to something early on" meant.
Jeeps- I believe a bunch of kids slept over at Libby's house shortly before murders and when reading that thought it was guys but have not been able to find where I saw that.
Thanks! I am a foreigner, it is interesting to notice how EnglishThank you!
And: yes, I meant "looks".
IMO Carter was appealing to someone with an educated intellect. Using innuendo and suggesting a book/movie as he did, leads me to believe the person is educated beyond high school. Carter asked what the people around him will think when his identity is revealed [not Carter's exact words but that was his general question]. I would take that to mean that the person that LE suspects likely isn't a derelict or a frequent flyer in and out of the prison system or half way houses. Instead I am thinking the person likely has a good job, is in a position of authority/respect within the community and is a wolf in sheep's clothing. A true snake slithering around unsuspected and professing to be concerned, worried, horrified by the murders all the while knowing he is duping everyone and he thinks he got away with it. Carter looked to me to be angry, almost incensed that LE had been "played" by this killer. I think when the identity of BG is revealed, the community will be sickened by how close this guy actually was to the situation.
Thank you Charlot123! This makes it easy to understand. I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes
I think it’s rare that the victim catches the perp on her camera minutes before the crime takes place. Not a surveillance of the perp walking to or from etc. Actual video from the victim of the perp minutes before the crime. That’s a twist IMO.
Thank you Charlot123! This makes it easy to understand. I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes
At this point all we can hope for is that they can muster enough solid evidence to proceed to an arrest that will lead to a conviction. I can't say whether or not the killer is respected by the entire community, but I'm speculating he is "known" and not in a negative way to the families and community. I take from DC's words in the PC, about giving the families time to digest this new information and change in investigative strategy, to mean it was a bit of a shock to them, the families, to accept LE believe it is someone close to them, in plain sight, and not some random killer.
Hi Tresir, thank you for the welcome. I checked out the link in your sig line. Nicole Bowen, tortured and murdered by 5 people in the Delphi/Lafayette area this past April, her body left in a hunting shack. If my mind hasn't completely failed me this would have been just before the April presser with Carter. Correct?
The perp on camera is not unusual, but the perp caught on the murder victim's camera is very unusual. Initially LE did not state how the pic was captured and many thought it was a trail camera until it was revealed it was Libby herself who captured it. This was the twist that Leazenby mentioned IMO.
That is correct. I hope you take time to check that thread out. It isn't very long.
And it does make sense. Keeping an eye on this too.With recent developments, there's so much racing through my head. I think I've turfed my POI to the curb, not that he wasn't capable and there are connections, lots of them, but he doesn't fit the PC. Someone else is a better "fit". Yet, my first despicable POI is about to be nailed with yet another murder, if by all accounts the family of the victim can be believed, and I feel they are credible. The murder took place a few weeks before my previous POI murdered someone else. It's been 5 plus months since the first murder that he has yet to be charged for (anxiously awaiting the day). It's only been 4 plus months since the April PC in this case, and DC said, "Be patient with us. Please, we are just beginning, we are just NOW beginning." (emphasis mine) It takes time to build a solid case, one that will lead to conviction. No second chances, gotta do it right the first time. They were onto something "early on" and "you made mistakes," and "we have a witness." Maybe that was the problem, they only have ONE witness that saw something that directly relates to BG. Also, possible conflicting or partial DNA. DNA that can be explained away by a good defence attorney. They need that "one" tip that will seal it for them. Maybe his alibi has come into question, someone no longer willing to cover for him? Just random thoughts.
ed:to make sense
Did I ask about identical twins? Are their DNA identical too?
