You guys. Here's a piece of related local news. More on the investigation into Julia Niswender's death. As most of you know, Julia was a friend of Chelsea's sister. She was murdered previously in her apartment and the case has never been solved.

No public evidence has arisen yet to suggest Chelsea's death and Julia's death might be related, but people have speculated about the possibility given the low odds of two friends in a group being murdered in a community like this one.

Ah..for Julia's case some of what was hidden is now out, breaking the case wide open. Justice for Chelsea is next. So happy the FBI is looking in on Julia's case, hoping the FBI will/is sitting in on Chelsea's case too.

It sounds like, according to Chelsea's tumblr, that the ex she is always talking about is someone that she worked with.

Agreed. A couple of us commented on this and offered some ideas about it if you want to scroll back a few pages to see those posts. Either way, we're pretty confident the police are aware of the relationships that played out at her work as they did interview several of Chelsea's co-worker friends.

Did anyone else notice a commenter on the article says JT was at BM's Halloween party where Chelsea went missing? Not sure if this is fact or fiction.

Yes I saw that. I remember there being speculation on him attending. When reading the comments, I never know what to believe. Some ppl go on there just to argue everyone's view points or get everyone riled up.

I also saw someone posted he was involved in Chelsea's murder and J. N. Replied saying he had no connection.... I don't get why the family is even on there responding when, in my opinion, nobody really knows the truth at this point but the ppl that did it. I know it's to claim innocence and "fight" for their family but I would not want to be exposed to some of the stuff on those comments if it was me.

It is interesting, isn't it? To my knowledge, no credible source (like the police or Chelsea's family) has ever suggested JT (stepdad) was at the Halloween party. I am sure that is something they've looked into.

I understand why a daughter would go on and defend her step dad. And I understand he may have had nothing to do with Julia...or Chelsea...despite press coverage. However, I also understand that when someone commits acts as heinous as these, it often derails their friends and family who never ever expected they could do such a thing. So I think it's fair for police (and for those of us watching) to ask the questions and look for evidence to confirm or deny connections.

No one here wants to see someone inappropriately implicated (some people were angry about the FREEP and MLIVE coverage, which they thought implicated JT). But as the reporter who replied in the comments said, the public has a right to know where the investigation is at and to understand if and why the police don't take further action.

Asking hard questions is hard, but it's part of demanding justice for those who can no longer demand it for themselves. Sometimes articles like these remind a newspaper reader of some fact they know that is related to the suspect or the case that ends up being helpful.

JT's attorney will tell the family not to comment soon on JN's or CB's case, I'm sure of it. He may be slick (meaning the attorney), but they are not. Lose lips sink ships.

Update: the Judge denied James Turnquist's motion to suppress evidence today.

He continues to be the only person of interest named in the murder of Bruck family friend, Julia Niswender. There is still no evidence, to my knowledge, which suggests Turnquist could also be a person of interest in the Chelsea Bruck case. However, there has been some speculation about the low odds of the two girls (whose sisters were friends) both being murdered that has led some locals to wonder if the same person (Turnquist or someone else) could be responsible for both. As far as I know, the police have never suggested the two are connected however.

Ugh. Chelsea's case needs to be solved. She deserves it to be solved for her justice. And I feel like the door is there, the key is there, it just needs to be turned.

I was reading back through Chelsea's thread and a few posts got me to thinking about the PXP/heavy metal scene in the greater Monroe area. Some are saying this crowd is very tight knit, and CB may have been more of a fringe friend/fan of the group/scene. How many people, estimating, could be part of this tight knit group in the area? Are they open to outsiders? If CB was a fringe fan, how did she get acquainted with the group? Only through parties or was it through other friends and did she even date someone in the tight group?

Good questions. It seems like her connection to this specific local scene may have begun or at least deepened through/with co-workers who liked the same type of music.

In this news article, HB, a coworker who attended the party, said they all went to the same parties. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2015/01/15/town-unites-find-one/21846011/

RA, pictured with Chelsea in the photos of the earlier PAP party (prior to the Halloween one), was also at the second party.
JP, another girl who worked with Chelsea, liked PAP online.
KG and her boyfriend AH also both worked with Chelsea at the time. Unclear whether they attended these parties.
There's also the girl who gave Chelsea a ride to the party.

I am sure the police has spoken to these people above, but they seem like they would be the most likely ones to know which heavy metal fans or bands Chelsea knew or was interacting with most...perhaps including whether Chelsea liked, had tension with, or was getting to know anyone new there.

If anyone has *any* information about suspicious people in Chelsea's life or has information about who she knew in this music scene, I hope they report it. Even if you think a person or group is not involved, please let the police follow the lead and ask questions as it could turn up new information. Every little bit helps.

Just an update for those of you who do not live in the area. The step-father of Julia Niswender (Julia was a friend of the Bruck sisters who was murdered) was found not guilty on *advertiser censored* charges. The police still seem to consider him to be a person of interest in Julia's death, however, he has never been charged.

Here's the article about Turnquist being found not guilty on *advertiser censored* charges:
http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2015/09/report_stepfather_of_slain_emu.html

Here's an article about the family's reaction:
http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2015/09/slain_emu_students_family_disc.html

As mentioned above, when this surfaced, commenters here noticed the connection between the Niswender sisters and Bruck sisters and wondered if the same person (Turnquist or someone else) could be responsible for both Julia and Chelsea's deaths. There don't seem to be any more leads on either case at this time.

Bumping for Chelsea. Still hoping and praying for Justice For Chelsea.

Invites were sent out last night for Big Mike's Halloween Whorror Bash. At least they're holding it at a different location, I guess. smh

 

[Scarlett1127]

I think about Chelsea every day. Hoping this case will have movement soon and eventually be resolved.

With Halloween approaching, and my teenage daughters talking about what they are going to dress up as for a party being thrown by an older friend, I can't help but think of Chelsea. It's sad to think that it's already approaching one year. Btw, as a side note, I told my daughters the only way they are going is if they are going in a group that doesn't split up...NO MATTER WHAT, and that I drop them off & picks them up, before midnight... and even then, I might just get a really good costume and "mingle" while they're there!
