I just can’t shake the feeling that this is someone known well to at least one victim’s family.
How do you feel about this case now knowing we have a witness?
"We have a witness. You made mistakes. We are coming for you and there's no place for a heartless coward like you to hide that gets his thrill from killing little girls," Carter said in a statement accompanying the new information.
The new sketch released today was actually drawn on Feb. 17, 2017 just days after the murders.
Man suspected of murdering teen girls in 2017 has close community ties
I just can’t shake the feeling that this is someone known well to at least one victim’s family.
I may be alone on this but I just can't get over the fact that a man in a town of 2,882 would go to a popular bridge and abduct and murder 2 girls and not be recognized. I grew up in a small town and everyone knew everyone! IMO, for no one to have recognized this man at the scene, he was most likely from out of town. Or was wearing something to disguise his identity.
I have no one in mind and wasn’t going to post anyone. I just didn’t use to think this was someone known. Always thought it was random.Just a general reminder- We can’t accuse or sleuth victim’s families it is against Websleuths rules. I really don’t want this thread shut down indefinitely.
Having walked across railroad trestles like this one, I believe the odd gait simply reflects that the guy was having to step from tie to tie. If you step wrong, your foot goes between ties and you can take a bad fall.When I watch the video of him walking, I feel like the gait issue may be some sort of concealed weapon. I can't see the video without it pixelating a bit though. I hope the people in this area come forward with a name soon.
Quick take:
- audio: not much difference.
- video: not much added help, considering it's so brief and BG's stepping over gaps in the planks.
- abandoned car: really? who's going to remember a car after 2+ years (and no description of it)?
- connection to Delphi: logical deduction from day one, since BG likely had to be familiar with the bridge and the terrain around the bridge (and how to isolate a victim at one end).
- sketch: if they really believed this sketch had value, they would've released it long ago. The original sketch looks more like the man in the video than this one does.
- emotional PC: "sound and fury, signifying nothing" -- other than that LE is getting frustrated.
Hope I'm wrong.
There’s a bit of an in between here.I may be alone on this but I just can't get over the fact that a man in a town of 2,882 would go to a popular bridge and abduct and murder 2 girls and not be recognized. I grew up in a small town and everyone knew everyone! IMO, for no one to have recognized this man at the scene, he was most likely from out of town. Or was wearing something to disguise his identity.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact they sat on this sketch for 2+ years. This is just bizarre, to me.
The "guys" sounds to me like a male maybe 20-30 years of age or so. Much younger than I thought all along, and yes this takes this weird case in a new direction!
Theory of mine: They built up the suspense over a holiday/religious weekend, where families are getting together and what have you. Then the sketch was released yesterday, so that image might become "hey I saw (fill in the blank) over the weekend, wow that looks like that sketch!".
I'm with Sgt. Carter, I believe the sketch will take BG by surprise.

Yes, it was a VERY targeted statement and he knew BG would know what he meant. Doesn't matter that the public doesn't get the reference.The Shack movie reference is so odd. Seems very targeted. Like part of a “Come to Jesus” sermon.
Yeah, but the expression may be a standard part of his language, a word said without much thought.Apologies for banging on about the use of the term us - 'guys, down the hill'.
I can't get my head around a sexual predator using the cross-gender term of 'guys' to his potential female victims. If he's a sexual predator, imo he'd be fixated on the endgame, not being Joe-cool. Imo, he would be much more likely to use a female tag - eg 'girls'.
Sexual predators are not known to cross gender in their preference of victim... unless of course the seduction is not sexually motivated.
