Sunshine, which of the sightings of the girls that night do you think are good or do you think none of them are?
One thing's for sure. If a cop stopped, and offered the girls a ride home, they might take him up on that.
FYI, Sunshine, you need to read the cold case on here out of Illinois where the LE had been actively involved in a cover-up since 1948. The reason I say this, is so you can compare the runaround cops there gave the brother of the victim with the things you've had to deal with from ECSO.
In some ways, though the circumstances of the deaths and ages of victims are different, the hassle with the police sounds like your story, Sunshine. I'll post the link in a minute. You'll be directed to another website which holds all the info on the case and the battle to get to the bottom of the case. There you'll be asked for a password, and the password is Oldsmobile. Please do read this. I think I had you read it before, but the site has been updated with the outcome of the story. Everyone's dead, but it came down to a cop had done it, and he was a relative of the female victim, her uncle by marriage. Patty was younger than the girl in the Illinois story, but I'm not sure that matters at all. She was old enough to have gotten pregnant, and that could have been the reason she was killed as I believe you've thought all along. In that other case, the truth was covered up by the coroner, the entire sheriff's dept, and guess what? The cop who killed the couple was the one put in charge of the investigation. Can you believe that? It blows my mind to think that they knowingly put the murderer in charge of the investigation.
Be back in a sec.
I'll make it simple. Go to
www.maryjanereed.com Click on the icon that reads investigative overview, enter the password, "oldsmobile" and you'll have a shortened version of the whole story. It's a fascinating read btw. Also compare the trouble your dad got from ECSO when he wanted to exhume Mattie with what happened when they did the exhumation in Illinois of the Reed girl.
Hope you've survived the cold. I guess you've still got snow on the ground?
