IN - James Chadwell II, 42, arrested after girl 9, found in his home, Lafayette, 19 Apr 2021 #3

[Inthedetails]

He was arrested 08.25.2012 for the DUI according to his criminal history report.

Interesting. Thank you.

So, the DUI arrest was after July 2012. The Evandale, Iowa murders were in July 2012.

This guy is a scum bag his entire adult life. I am very glad he will be going to where he deserves to be.

Does anyone know where JBC was living around June 2015?

I love our many differences though or else what a boring world it would be. I prefer my friends to be informed tho so we can discuss current events, by example.

My preferred habit is visiting WS and it's free! Although I'm quite willing to pay a nominal fee to get rid of the interfering videos that pop up and the ads that cover an entire page that must be clicked off.

What may be even more astonishing is so many local residents do not even know the MHB exists. Perhaps, HLN brought in a greater viewing audience for the case than other avenues. Yet, as you mentioned, so many do not watch Headline News. Cable TV in my area is buried cables so it's a bit pricey. Others may not be capable of affording cable, esp during these harsher covid-ridden times.

Don't think James Caldwell missed out on watching the last big presser, although I know it's possible that he didn't see it.

Has anyone found a TV in and among JCs images?
.

YES. In at least one Facebook image he appears to be in his home, I believe with his dog & there is a television. It is displaying credits to a movie/show.

Is he ever going to be arraigned?

I wondered that too. Looks like he was in prison.

He burgarized a business in SD in 2013 and his then-wife turned him in. He was paroled in December 2015 to Indiana.

Replying to myself....

Wait. Could he have been released on parole before December 2015, but the December date is when he got permission to leave the state and go to Indiana???

IDK! Not even sure how to check that.

Article says he lived in Rapid City SD, I wonder when?

I just had a crazy thought. I wonder where he was in February of 2019 and if he could have been visiting Rapid City. There was a runaway 9 yr old (Serenity Dennard) from a Children's Home near Rapid City - the home is in the hills, very secluded, and she was last seen walking on the road. I have always had a weird feeling about it as I just don't think she would have gotten far enough to not be found by dogs or a search team in 20 degree weather. My theory was she was snatched on the road, but then I talk myself out of it because what are the chances someone that awful and impulsive happened to be driving by. But JBC is the perfect fit for that.

I know left field, but he does have a profile picture on FB of him in the SD woods.

Yes I saw this...I was going thru unsolved cases..I was very interested to know too..she couldn't have gotten far on foot in that timespan. mOO

 

[minazoe]

9 years old...poof she's gone..

 

[MsBetsy]

Is he ever going to be arraigned?

I don't know what the court schedule is but I wouldn't be surprised if they added more charges. I wondered if LE found child *advertiser censored* on his computer or phone. I haven't even heard that they searched his home.

Wouldn't they have carried out warrants by now?

This is one of the cases I’ve wondered about for JBC. I think we talked about this previously upthread.

While I have a hard time seeing JBC as BG I do hope he’s looked at for Evansdale murders and Serenity.

A 29 year old woman was murdered by Vermilion SD in June 2015. She was fishing by herself. Found with neck injuries, blunt force trauma and stabs. COD drowning. She had sent a Snapchat to her friends showing her fishing alone. Last anyone ever heard of her.
She died fishing on a summer day. Three years later, police still don't know who killed her.

 

[Boxer]

It's hard to track his in-prison, it's like he is almost always actually out on some kind of supervised release.

 

[minazoe]

they are gonna get him..they just the pieces and a confession...mOO

Too many dismissed charges and releases, I thought. Just the wrong one, to have dismissed something, IMO.

I already connected it to the Delphi killer, before JBC appeared on the surface ....... Maybe, the connection is right, only the killer might be wrong (JBC or my poi).

I think that the permission to move or visit Indiana in 2015, means that he was out, and on parole. Take it as JMO, because I don't have (quick) access to the Pacer or other files, but they have been posted here somewhere.
