I can't tell if you are speaking rhetorically or not. Are you suggesting that DC has a small circle of POIs, at least one of which attends his own church? You are aware that DC is not a local investigator or resident of Delphi? Or maybe you are saying that DC is so involved in the day to day investigation of this case, that he himself staked out church services nearby to see who attended? This doesn't seem very likely to me.
I believe that like sheriff TL has a small circle of POIs, so does DC. I understand that DC is not from Delphi, that he has a big position in the state of Indiana, and it just so happened that the murders and the fires occurred on his watch, and now he has to spend a disproportionate amount of time in that tiny hamlet of Indiana’s territory. But from what I know about DC, if he stayed in Delphi over the weekend, he most likely went to church.
I think that during that speech, they threw in different traits. Some, like “it is about power to you”, would describe one person, “a tiny bit of conscience left”, probably, someone else. Like the sketches are not “the real” BG, probably, some composites, so are aspects of his speech directed at different POIs.
The chances of it being one of your last two suggestions are almost zero now, IMO. Not only for all the good reasons
@Ozoner and
@ab01 have suggested, but because of what we learned from Robert Ives in the Down the Hill podcast. There were signatures to this crime, more than one. Signatures by definition are things done by the perpetrator for his own psychological satisfaction that were not necessary for the commission of the crime. Hits don't have signatures. People who react out of momentary rage or self preservation don't have signatures. The fact that LE even identified signatures in this case is highly, highly significant and points directly to the motive.
Oh, you think that it is a sexual assault of some case? That means there is a serial killer/rapist on the loose, right? With own signatures?
Then why is Kelsi unafraid of the murderer? She said so. Why did the local sheriff say that he believed and prayed the locals were not in danger? He said so in an interview.
I don’t know what the motives were. All I can say - the murderer is smart enough to stay undetected, and in means a lot.
My post was along the lines - it would be interesting to analyze how the lives of the locals had changed, and then maybe, if BG was local, we could answer the question,
cui prodest?
But whoever profited, it was definitely not the landowner, so to me, he is not even the poi. Never was.
You’d think that given the paucity of official information, Ives is a remarkable witness. I am not so sure. To me, Kelsi‘s and the local sheriff’s answers trump the testimony of former CC prosecutor.
I don’t know how to even perceive the podcasts. Is it common practice, to make so many podcasts, where officials participate, during active investigation?
Or is it a cold case? Then ISP has to openly admit it, so that we should stop hoping it will ever be solved, and move on.
(And maybe then ISP should release this tape. During the quarantine, people do have the time to listen to TV shows, they communicate online, and perhaps someone could hear familiar articulation?)
