People have a tendency to try to link every crime they can think of to a serial killer whenever a new one is discovered. I highly doubt Bar-Jonah had anything to do with Deborah's case. Unfortunately there are plenty of others, adults, who had it in them to murder an innocent teenage girl and dispose of her body where it could never be found.

Distance from Townsend Ma to Vernon Ct...........84 miles
"" "" to Mystic Ct...........113 miles
"" "" to Tolland Ct.........76
"" "" to East Windsor......89
"" "" to Boston ............approx 30 (thinking of Angelo Puglisi)
The distance between these towns is much less than the distance to Townsend (except for Boston). Granted these are not great distances, but why would this person all of a sudden come to Townsend a much greater distance out of the way when they have been staying the ct. area?
I don't see it. shrugs..
how do you control a child on a bike and what do you do with the bike later...Debby was not a tiny weak child-do you hit the bike with your vehicle and it disappears to prevent disclosure of that method? Do you coax the child into the vehicle with the bike, or do you go back and pick up the bike later?
