<rbbm>Been a while, gang. I forgot my logon/pw/email used but have been lurking regularly and checking up. Like everyone, so glad to see some significant progress in this haunting case.
Wondering about motive. Was Speaks in the NO area circa 2005-2006 or did he come into the picture later? I recall an earlier post(s) with some timeline on his past travels. That he used an alias (Rice) of an artist that paints very dark and disturbing scenes is interesting. The whole situation, including the connection to Addie Hall, just seems ritualistic...like there are too many sinister elements there for her murder and postmortem treatment to have been just a heat of the moment and cover-up thing.
I had forgotten that part.
I can buy one coincidence, but two is pushing it.
"Speaks also has used the names Leslie Allen Rice or Leslie Allen Sanchez, Grannan said."Leslie Rice also happens to be the name of an award-winning Australian artist, whose more famous works include paintings of decapitated and dismembered people. The paintings feature a decapitated head on a plate, body parts strewn about and morbid-looking works depicting death or pieces of human corpses.
It is not known whether this artist was the inspiration for Speaks alias or whether the painter is known by Speaks at all.
On Friday night, WGNO e-mailed the images of the paintings to the head investigator in the Lockhart murder, Detective Steve Saucier of the Hancock County Sheriffs Office.
Saucier said the images are undeniably intriguing, but that the sheriffs office learned Speaks stole the name from someone he knew in his home state of North Carolina to commit identity fraud.
