Hi All,
I’m from Australia, it just so happens I’m in Law enforcement and have experience with the Policing side of Homicides.
I can across this case from a podcast a few weeks ago, since then I’ve followed along to see how it progresses.
I’ve read a lot of responses from contributors on this thread. Fortunately I can clear a few things up, but unfortunately most of the cyber detectives are over analysing.
Remember this, ‘finding’ out who did this crime is half the process. The main process is ensuring a criminal conviction for police.
Therefore, the general public and even the victims families ARE NOT entitled or should be presented with evidence or possible suspects under any circumstances.
All evidence released, including sketches, audio, video, and in this case car siting, is to be done with a specific outcome in mind. e.g produce leads, further evidence, new suspects etc.
I saw people post, “why not release all the audio?”
Well... why, it obviously won’t help produce new leads. And/or the remaining audio evidence could taint jury if released. I understand you want to here and see the evidence, but bluntly, you have no right and all general public are to be treated as possible suspects/witnesses. Remember you aren’t trained investigators.
Finally, I watched the press conference and found it fascinating.
The press conference was directly aimed at speaking to the killer. My guess would be they have a short list of suspects or may even know 98% who it is.
Everything said in that press con was scripted by a FBI Profiler. It is designed to agitate and provoke the killer in to acting differently or saying something to someone that makes them stand out.
I’d also guess they may even have suspects under physical surveillance or recording devices.
Remember again, ITS ALL ABOUT THE CONVICTION. So they may only need some final concrete pieces of evidence.
That would fit in perfectly with the fact it was only 7 weeks ago they had the anniversary press con.
It’s sounds to me like things are very close.
- new audio, need another witness to come forward after recognise.
- new video, same reason as above.
- press con, push killer to say something on phone or start acting erratic, people notice.
- car siting, May need another witness to place killer in car earlier or leaving car. DNA.
My guess is that it was a random event, killer was probably driving past and saw them. Car won’t be registered so that is the reason it can’t be traced back to him and he dumped it. Killers act on impulse, very rare they plan.
Hopefully that helps! Be confident in the police, they are the experts. Let them do their jobs. Time to celebrate will be after the court hearings.
Thanks from Aus!
