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

An April 29 2017 FB post has him congratulating himself for “being out for 15 months”. I’m guessing he’s talking about being out of prison. Does that match up with some of y’all’s timelines?

Yes indeed it does.

Thanks @StarryStarryNight !

Are there any unsolved cases that occured at or near a car wash in the area?

 

[Inthedetails]

Does anyone know when he moved from SD to IN?

tia.

I, personally, think maybe he's been in and out of prison more than once since at least 2000.

I know this guy has a criminal record and spent time in prison for a variety of things none of which seem to be sexual in nature or involving children. How strange do you think it is for someone to wait until they’re almost 40 years old to start molesting children?

 

[inmyhumbleopinion]

That photo from the obit is also on his FB page.

He is SD guy.

Good job finding that info!

jmo

Indeed.

And here is a bit more info. on South Dakota.
“10/08/2015 | Board of Pardons and Paroles Meeting
Start Date/Time: 10/08/2015 08:00 AM
End Date/Time: 10/08/2015 12:00 AM
Time Zone: Central Standard Time
Description:
Location: South Dakota State Penitentiary, Sioux Falls”
“Non-Compliant Granted,” whatever that means (I’m sorry, when there is a child victim involved ...)


He is on page 6 of 39 at the link:
https://boardsandcommissions.sd.gov/bcuploads/ParoleBoardDecisionsOctober2015.pdf

“Parole as soon as plan is approved to Interstate Compact to Indiana only,” so I’m still trying to find out the exact date he was actually freed.

I don't think he just got started, I think he just didn't get caught..also the pedo part is tied up with the urge to kill or be violent..because he is a sadist as indicated by his treatment of this child.

this is a grown man torturing and threatening a little girl. allowing his pit bull to take a bite of her...think of a nine year old...how delicate , how fragile..

<Modsnip>
including his experience with heights and trains..

he has what it takes and he is a sadist...He probably loves giving small animals , cats etc. to his dogs.

take a look at the photo in his Facebook of wooden floorboards that appear to be soaked with blood, if it's still up.


mOO and I respect other opinions here.

Looks like he was the defendant in a few court cases in Iowa, as well, but they were dismissed. Sioux and Clinton county. 2010, 2015, and a late January 2017.

i was wondering if the little girl was fighting him off her and the dog attacked her to stop her attacking its owners? in a protective way maybe?

also, how far back does his facebook page go? can't see it goes back that far, wondering if he has any other accounts

Where was this guy July 12, 2013?

[mainemom376]

Just putting this up for reference. Sioux Falls to Vermillion, to Evansdale, to Delphi.

Yes. Thank you for this. JMO

 

[minazoe]

wait wait...isnt there something about a carwash with lyric and elizabeths bikes or where they were last seen?

he mentions the trestle and the carwash!!!

 

[Barbieshell]

Noticed the dude has a wound in some pics on his FB, the kind that may require a wound draining thingamyjig that may be housed in a "fanny pack" or "bumbag" as us Brits call them - interesting stuff, JMOO xx

Dear @minazoe,

You mention animal cruelty as well in this post.

The F.B.I. have been documenting animal cruelty incidents because these, as indicators, have shown up in patterns of murderers/serial killers.

Not that it's part of this case but law enforcement takes it very seriously. JMO

Tracking Animal Cruelty — FBI

"The National Sheriffs’ Association was a leading advocate for adding animal cruelty as a data set in the Bureau’s collection of crime statistics. The association for years has cited studies linking animal abuse and other types of crimes—most famously, murders committed by serial killers like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the “Son of Sam” killer David Berkowitz. The organization also points out the overlap animal abuse has with domestic violence and child abuse."

“If somebody is harming an animal, there is a good chance they also are hurting a human,” said John Thompson, deputy executive director of the National Sheriffs’ Association. “If we see patterns of animal abuse, the odds are that something else is going on.”

One of the free people search sites shows that at one point he lived in Rock Valley, Iowa. This is right over the border from where he'd been living and working in South Dakota.

So many creeps on social media are friends with themselves if you know what I mean. A social media twin may be out there somewhere. moo

Just because he had never been charged with any sex crimes, does not mean he never took part in any. Many victims never say a word about it, until years later. Others are too scared or ashamed to ever say a word.

and others are dead so they cant tell anyone. mOO
