Do we have a (better) rough idea of where Critchley was last seen?
I know she was hitchhiking-- the cold case file on NH's website says the last place was around Exit 13 from Rt 90 in MA, where she was dropped off by her friend. But...this is a bit far.
Either way, I decided to expand the "search" range and parameters for where, how long, and in what way our killer may have been active...especially if they may have been going up and down I-91 or I-89. They knew the area well enough to have put the bodies in the remote locations that they did, and operated cleverly enough to seem to have avoided any trace of being identified. As such, I've been wondering if there may have been more victims that either haven't been found, or that were found and just weren't linked due to lack of evidence or because they were out of the original suspected range.
I've been scouring through all the cold case files in NH, and may go through VT and MA. I'm eyeing for similarities in disappearances, the time period, age and gender (if those even might have been part of the pattern to begin with, the ages are a bit scattered), and if the bodies were found...in what condition and how (if determined) they were killed.
I obviously don't want to get ahead of myself and just start pinning any similar murder on the same person haha, but I figure it's worth it to leave no stone unturned, especially at this point. I'll post my progress, hypotheticals (as that's what most of this is anyways), and potential further questions once I've finished digging...and digging.
I've already found a couple that might be related...and a couple that more than likely aren't but caught my intrigue as separate cases to work on. xD
