He was found on a Dairy Farm, iirc Libby and Abby ended up by a dairy farm.
Both incidents happened in a Carroll Countys, though not the same Carroll County.
Victims are all the same age range.
Both happened on a 14th.
Sheriff's offices are Dellroy and Delphi.
I'm sure I'm just reaching, but what are the odds?
I think the odds are pretty good.
Farms are plentiful in both areas so if you're outside the town's limits, chances are that there's going to be a farm nearby.
There are 13 Carroll Counties in the country, and I bet if we researched we'd find an unsolved crime in each one; I also bet that if we broadened that search we'd find similar crimes in other counties as well. Every county in my state has at least one big crime, solved or unsolved, that people still talk about and most of them involve young women or children.
Teen homicide rates are 8.7 per 100,000 as of 2017 and that's an increase from previous years. Indiana had 210 teen deaths (accident, homicide, suicide) in 2016. Ohio had 282. According to the CDC's website, youth violence is a leading cause of injury and death for teens. Violence rates (fatal and nonfatal) are higher among young people than any other age group. In 2010, nearly 5,000 young people were homicide victims. That's an average of 13 teens a day who are murdered. That's not counting the ones who accidentally overdose or who commit suicide. Unfortunately, while teen deaths are horrible and tragic, they're not totally uncommon.
The circumstances surrounding the deaths are not the same, and we're also looking at different genders.
Sometimes coincidences are pretty freaky (like the Kennedy/Lincoln stuff), but most of the time they are just coincidences.
