They didn't, though.
–No one has connected JBC to Delphi let alone placed him there on the 13th of February, 2017.
–His known crime involved luring a victim into his home, whereas the Monon High Bridge killings involved waylaying victims in a remote area.
–His recent victim was a prepubescent child whereas Abby and Libby were teens.
–LE is confident that sketch no. 2 depicts the killer of Abby and Libby, but JBC doesn't have the distinctive long chin shown in sketch no. 2.
–None of the pictures we've seen of JBC show him in clothing similar to that worn by BG.
I can't rule him out, but we're not close to being able to rule him in.
hmm. Obviously no one here knows of any
direct evidence of BJC’s involvement in the crime .... that would take him out of the category in which he’s being discussed & considered. So what we’re talking about is a good candidate for perp, not an established actor! But ... almost oddly .... all your points here IMO I see as leaning away from how you present them! How can this be????
I def admit I want BJC to be the one & maybe that’s part of the difference? If nothing else, this seems like a fascinating example of how two people can look at the same thing & have totally different interpretations!
“No one has connected JBC to Delphi let alone placed him there on the 13th of February, 2017.”
- he is native to within 15-20 min of the area & has family nearby with whom he’s lived at times, at least until being forcibly evicted from his father’s house. He is a train/bridge & outdoors ‘enthusiast’ & AFAIK the Manon bridge is the local spot for that. He’s driven through Delphi daily at times to commute to a job, & was between jobs & thus available on the day in question.
IMO ‘not connected to Delphi’ would be for example DN, who seemed a great candidate in some ways but IIRC had never been placed in IN. By comparison BJC has certainly been ‘connected to Delphi.’
“–His known crime involved luring a victim into his home, whereas the Monon High Bridge killings involved waylaying victims in a remote area.”
in both of these crimes, girls were induced to move themselves from a publicly visible spot to a more secluded one & then attacked. The difference was BJC’s location at the time, and there’s no reason to think we’re looking for a perp who either spends all his time outside OR inside, but never goes from one place to the other....?
“–His recent victim was a prepubescent child whereas Abby and Libby were teens.”
No pics available of the 9-yo of course, but it’s quite possible that she appears to be the same age as Abby appeared. Anyway I tend to imagine IMO that A&L was a crime of opportunity so maybe not the most perfectly curated victims ... same easily could be true of the 9-yo, maybe she approached the house for some reason & he thought he was getting lucky.
Anyway IMO 9, 12, 13 are all tween ages .... MOO female tweens are a distinct group that can include all these victims without any elaboration. Girls’ puberty ages have shifted a lot in past decades ... “tweens” as a group is now IMO a more useful category than “pre-pubescent” & “teen.”
Whether one agrees or not re “tweens,” truly different victim profiles might be EG an elderly man in one case & a 9-yo girl in another. Not a 9-yo girl & a 12-yo girl.
–LE is confident that sketch no. 2 depicts the killer of Abby and Libby, but JBC doesn't have the distinctive long chin shown in sketch no. 2.
IMO any publicly expressed “confidence” by LE is not a sincere expression of confidence but an attempt to move the investigation along via some theory of public communication. Moreover I’ve not heard this expression of confidence? ... the “young BG” sketch has no facial depth / shading etc - it is hardly more than a smiley face IMO and doesn’t depict an actual person... not sure what the deal is there but MOO I don’t take it as meaningful.
–“None of the pictures we've seen of JBC show him in clothing similar to that worn by BG.”
well there are so many possible reasons for this ... many might say he was in disguise, or he’s deliberately avoided taking pics in clothes like that to evade suspicion. JMO I don’t look at his SM but I give it even less credibility as a source of “truth” then LE’s public claims! He posts pics of himself looking how he wants by to appear - surely he doesn’t present himself as a deranged, violent predator & child rapist? If not, then he’s deliberately cultivated a counter-factual image. Why wouldn’t he dress in his most stylin’ clothes to do so?
