Could be they knew all along but couldn't find him...sounds like he was off the grid a bit with LE only way to find him was vehicle.

In that case wouldn't they just name him?

 

[margarita25]

I agree that would be very strange, and very unusual, but in this crazy world who knows. Just read a disturbing news story out of Russia this morning about a couple that cannabalized women they lured on dating apps...sick.

Indeed. In the Amish sisters' case it was a couple involved for child *advertiser censored* purposes.

I don't know, not feeling the female involvement, but es anything is possible!

 

[margarita25]

Really?

Whatcha thinkin, Ember?

If I'm reading correctly, he received the max sentence for indecent exposure in South Carolina. Three years. moo

I read it as 2 years suspended with 3 years probation, but I could be wrong.

Can you link please (condition of his body)? (Having tech diffs), Tia.

The articles I saw had very little detail.

I do believe they would, moo.

Sorry, I don't have a link ( should know better ) was going off shireslueths post where the condition of poor Mr. Watkins was described.

Me too, that's why I'm wondering...we do know the gun matched...so a gun was used.

 

[dub]

Also slightly OT but wasn't there a trail attack (from which I believe the victim escaped) in boulder a couple months ago? Did that ever get solved?

 

[Tealgrove]

Interesting thoughts! And it made me think.... having a coat on to cover up a gun in Indiana in February... is a lot different than walking the trails with a coat on in Colorado in September. Wonder if was carrying a hatchet because that would seem fairly "normal" to be seen with while hiking or camping since he couldn't wear a coat and look normal???

I've actually seen people walking trails in my area with a small hatchet. Sometimes they cut boughs to make wreaths and stuff. If I was walking a trail here, I wouldn't think twice about it.

Outdoorsy people, campers, etc., usually have a hatchet in their toolbox. It's kind of a necessity if you're camping. I know we wouldn't go anywhere without it.

Yes, because he was already on probation.

Hey DUB! Yes, I started a thread on that. I fell in the creek because I was so chicken. My last hike there lasted 5 minutes.

I do doubt a connection though but who knows...man, so many nut jobs out there.

If BG was that close to me I will crap my pants. Right now.

It was in the colorado gazette that has been mentioned. Could someone link it?

Fingers Crossed this is the day! I have a good feeling there will be an update or break in the case soon.

IMO

I suppose it would depend on how said Hatchet or Axe was being carried and by whom as to whether it would make me nervous. If I was walking on a trail and someone who looked like BG was carrying a hatchet I would probably have a full on panic attack!

 

[margarita25]

The let down if it's not him is gonna suck.

 

[Yemelyan]

If that is the case and the mug shots are from 5 to 7 years ago, then with aging... the person would look a lot closer to the age depicted in the sketch.

Agreed, especially if living rough...off the grid, etc.

 

[watcher9]

They have him on a weapon possession charge with a bond of $2000 which Judge increased to $10,000.

That's an understatement, everything just seems to fit... A question, are mugshots typically taken in prison garb or in the clothes they bring you in wearing? Can you imagine how many posts would pop up here if he was wearing a blue jacket? The whole site would probably crash. Better for LE to get this one right.

 

[Justice101]

Well, the guy arrested in Colorado only has bond at $10,000 (just happened 30 minutes ago)....so this doesn't sound sinister. So why the gag order on the mug shot?
