Little farms edition just outside new rome. Dispatch. I believe it was an evening paper but then went to mornings? That paper route was in the family for years between 3 boys.

Two males, 17-20, with possibly an older male 25-30, in charge if you will. Students at high school and living in neighborhood, or close by. Something provoked in Bill's first couple weeks of high school that made him a target. Targeting escalated because of perceived weakness of victim and his unwillingness to talk. Very fast start and rapid ending, four months later. Now as adults, unknown males, still in contact locally at functions, but keep their distance from each other. An uneasy truce between them, you tell we both go down, that creates a bonded silence that helps hide their actions. Ties have been broken with the older male, who is no longer in their circle. They are married, have kids, and middle income jobs locally. They may have had some LE contact, DUI, domestic, etc.
Disclaimer:This is just an unproven, ungrounded theory with no specific facts to reinforce ideas. IMO
I can only guess Bill aspired to be in music. I think he took piano lessons. Papers were dropped at house. No interaction with other paper carriers. Buying a piano, Im sure my parents helped pay for some of it too. No particular paper customer stood out as odd. No heavy tippers. There were always one or two older guys around maybe 20-25 who had a following. Like you said cause thats where the party was. Bill was two weeks into high school when this started. He didnt have time to make those contacts though I believe their were students trying to intimidate him, freshman piano player and who knows why.
Only 2 weeks into school, yes, but what was the scene all summer??? My (at the time) just-graduated Eighth grader got his first speeding ticket one week after school got out. Who gave him the car keys to their car? A 21 yr. old weirdo I never even knew about.
He met the weirdo in auto-shop. The school allowed outside "customers" to get minor repairs done on their cars, while the students got to learn.
Bill dated girls at different times. He was well liked in middle school.No know relation to LE or teachers. Tulessa I'm sorry for your loss.
RE: People on Bill's paper route being big tippers - For me, this doesn't equate and has no bearing on the case. I remember when my brother was young and had his paper route. He used to rake in the tips! The little old ladies LOVED him and they tipped big! Sorry, just not seeing that as being suspicious at all.
I don't really see the situation as being Bill knowing about a few older people getting high and taking some drugs. That's pretty common - I'm sure it was in 1980 too. I just don't see how that could possibly be a motive for scare tactics or murder. It just doesn't fit to me. All MOO.
