He may not be involved with these murders, but he is not "innocent" imo. He is a sex offender and seemingly a fairly dangerous person.
It could be that he didn't leave DNA at the scene, but that the girls left DNA on him. I hope they get a search warrant to check him items and home for any transfer DNA....though tricky, it would be anything but a coincidence if it did come up that shoes, the hatchet, etc had their DNA.Hmmm. So I am back to believing that LE has no DNA from the crime scene where Abby and Libby were killed. That makes this case so very difficult. This article raises all kinds of questions for me. So, clearly finding DN's DNA on the trail is significant and places him near the crime, but it can't tell LE when he was there, or even prove he was the murderer ( thinking about a possible trial) I can only assume that witnesses that day reported someone fitting BG's description camping near the trail and when they came up with no DNA at the crime scene they found the current sample on the trail they will compare with DN. Theoretically, the killer of Abby and Libby might not even be the man witnesses saw camping and if not has LE been clearing RSO's based on DNA found away from the murder site? I understand they have to go on what they have available, but to me that means that whomever this turns out to be will have a mostly circumstantial case against them. I am back to that hatchet, it may turn out to be better evidence than DNA found a 15-20 minute walk away from the crime scene, if they can match the blade to injuries...All of this is MOO.

His "DJ" fb is still up:

That Grandpa post was 17May2016...
also on that day, May 17th of last year, there were lots and lots and lots of image-messages posts about second chances, forgiveness, and love coming back... all seemingly directed toward his wife/gf at the time, who apparently broke up with/left him (at that time.)
There are several photos and - perhaps calculated - sweet sentiments over his (adorable) little daughter.
With a few God/PTL-type posts; and Marine brotherhood posts mixed in there...
Might be it was during a time he was trying to be a better man; or perhaps just pretending trying to be a better man.
Only activity since July 2016 was the one single profile photo update on 04Apr17 - this year.
Before that, was last year 30July16 (or maybe will show 29th in the US - I'm across the meridian.)
Don't know if that was all his activity, or just public-sharing only.
Not that any of this means anything, but just for those who are curious, and like to observe, and piece things/timelines together.
...and his page is still coming up. (For me, anyway.)
My thinking on why even if they had his DNA there hasnt been a hit yet. I could be wrong but I was pretty sure that DNA matches are not like a google search. CODIS is for when they have a suspect is it not? I mean otherwise it would be taking millions of DNA samples and comparing it to millions of crimes and DNA is not a simple thing. As much as I wish it were a drop it in to a computer and know in hours or days.
I am sure there have been other cases were DNA has been there for the suspect and on the victim and it took years and years for the two to be matched. If I am wrong I would love to have this explained, please and thank you.
A slide show of mug shots, a couple I haven't seen before. It's incredible how his appearance changes so much.

Do you think it possible that if Mr. Watkins WAS killed by DN, that DN has gotten RID of the gun used to kill him? It doesn't have to have been done by the 22 in his vehicle.

"i listened to the 'down the hill over and over and yes, it sounds like his voice, and the way he carries himself in the picture, that's how he carried himself. He would walk head down scuffing his feet hands in his pockets. He carried himself that way," she said.
I wonder if he left DNA behind in Delphi? LE will have their work cut out for them. Im sure there are search warrants and LE would love to find the clothes BG had on that day. Anything that may have the girls DNA on it.In South Carolina, people convicted of any felony or sex crime misdemeanor must submit a DNA sample. The state also collects DNA for those convicted of eavesdropping, peeping, and stalking.

He was charged with indecent exposure in South Carolina and North Carolina. He's on South Carolina’s sex offender database. So why didn't DNA from the Delphi murders match to him?
( :coffee: catching up)
Is that a FISHING t shirt in the bw photo of him holding his child?!!
Eta: there's also another photo of the child in the car seat holding a book from the used book store...I zoomed in on the pricetag and it's dated 10/10/16. Can any locals tell where that might have been purchased?
I just had a thought. What if the cyclist recognized him and that is why he was killed?
Katelyn's family told The Gazette they hadn't seen or spoken to her in a year, after she decided to resume her relationship with Nations. Katelyn remained in contact with a Gazette reporter Thursday but did not agree to comment.
IE is a low level sex offense and the penalty nor time to serve is not nearly as severe as someone who rapes or sexually assaults victims.
I believe each of the women reported him when he exposed himself to them. There have probably been many other times but it wasn't reported.
Also significant in this news report the interviewee states "I took headphones and listened to the voice of the '..down the hill..' to me it could very well be him"...wow

I haven't read all of this thread or know really anything about the Colorado guy but has anyone done a side by side of him and BG or whatever?
