Anyone know if the probable cause affidavit is available to read online somewhere?
"The girlfriend showed her a Polaroid photo that she said belonged to Welch and that she was keeping as leverage against him to keep him from killing her."
Call me crazy, but there's also the option of going to the police and then he gets locked up and can't kill you.
It really irritates me that the local authorities and the OSBI botched this case from the very beginning. How can you not even find a body and then allow the family to show up the next day to find it? There is no excuse for this blunder. If you read the affidavit you will discover that the two family hired private investigators had the clue to solve this case TWO DAYS after the murder, fire and disappearances of the girls. The insurance card solved the case! And when the card was found the girls were no doubt still alive! The old Sheriff's Department and OSBI should be ashamed!
What is it with Welch and Pennington being so freaking religious???? They got religion but didn't come clean about this horrendous deed? http://www.tulsaworld.com/homepagel...cle_0a07fa47-385c-57c0-b337-c838f8ff4450.html

Hmmmm.......
Also from your link -
"After Dugan died in 2009, his family attempted to turn over his investigation files to then-Craig County Sheriff Jimmie Sooter, who turned them down, the affidavit states. The family destroyed the files.Investigators who cracked the case said they received a crate full of reports and files in February 2017 from Craig County Sheriff Heath Winfrey shortly after he succeeded Sooter. Investigators described finding in the crate critical information that was not in the OSBIs case file, including the names of people they subsequently interviewed."
I'm reading through the court docs and I am SO ANGRY about all this. They knew in January 2001 that Welch, Busick and Pennington were involved. They may not have had evidence, but they were given a bunch of details by a witness. So ALL THIS TIME this has been some crazy unsolved case with SO MUCH speculation and they basically KNEW what happened. Ugh...
Possibly, they threw it while running. Courageous and desperate young teens.Anybody wonder if one of the girls managed to kick or throw that insurance card out of the car as a desperate clue for police?
