my prayers for the victims and their families.
it's horrible, someone was in the back seat of their car and shot them both execution style in the heads.
does anyone know anything about the area of town they were found in?
who would be able to get them to drive there?
how remote was the area? would the killer be able to walk somewhere to transportation, or would he have had a ride pick him up?

not much new, they were wearing their seatbelts still and the car & heat were still running.
obviously whoever killed them; they trusted enough to let into their car. unless they were carjacked from elsewhere.
whoever killed them shot them each with one bullet to the back of the head. that's impersonal and execution style.
the sheriff mentions that they were inspirational to the young people in the town... how were they inspirational to young people there? would someone be jealous of them?
they weren't robbed.
i hate to bring up such things, however was either of them involved in either drugs or debts?
as for the coolio rap lyrics that cord left on his facebook in jan. i wouldn't read much into them; unless he was living a gangbangin lifestyle.
in clarke and straub's case they were suffocated with plastic bags. in that case, i believe whoever did it knew that straubs parents would be out of town and had been watching them. the ransacking of the home would be only a mere attempt to suggest robbery as a motive, when murder was the motive.
the things these cases have in common are they are both young couples, would a serial killer change his m.o. as to not get caught?
in straub and clarke's case, clarke was on the phone with a friend and dropped it. le has interviewed the friend about the call and this guy is still not caught, my guess is that they didn't know their killer(s).
possibly in either of these cases, the killer has inserted himself into his victims' lives prior to their deaths in order to build a facade of "trust" if you can call it that.
the area where mehall and cox was found is very rural, i just googled it. bishop road, harpersfield township, ohio. it's also very close to interstate 90.
bishop road also seems to be township hwy 132
i would think the killer would have had to have either
a. his car or getaway vehicle (atv, dirtbike not excluded)
b. someone ready to pick him up
c. made his way out on foot to the interstate (then of which he caught a ride or hitchhiked)
my guess is he had his own vehicle near or had someone ready to pick him up.
waiting for a ride and risking people seeing him near the interstate would be dumb. especially if no one picked him up.
was anyone jealous of cox and mehall and maybe had an obsession with mehall?
