I think it is just a typo.
However...
Melissa was the first of the 4 they've found so far. 2007. Then 2009, 2010, 2010.
So if he DID confess to more than one and he was telling the truth... they WOULD have more bodies to find.
That might explain why they are SO sure there are more bodies.
LE has said
they believe Melissa was dead before the first phone call was made. I don't know. There have been a couple other cases where the family was taunted like this. Generally if the person was alive, they were heard on the phone call to further torture the family... if they weren't alive they weren't heard.
Okay.... slightly odd thing here.
Last victim in September 2010.
Amber LYNN
Melissa's mother's name is
LYNN
Melissa's little sister's name starts with
Am.... what is her middle name, is it LYNN too?
Because that would be a little creepy.
See, I thought it a bit odd....
Melissa,
Maureen,
Megan....
Amber? WTF? Must be a coincidence, but personally it just bugged me to have a pattern and break it.
Unless Amber Lynn was very close to Melissa's sister's name and set him off for that reason?
Since we know that for some reason he focused on Melissa and her little sister, for 6 weeks after he took Melissa. Maybe he DID want to take her little sister but decided it was too risky. So he "settled" for Amber Lynn in her place? Do they look anything alike?
It seems crazy... but so does only killing people with double initials (PP, TT, CC, MM, WW, CC) some of which are also from a town starting in that same letter. :waitasec:
