OK I guess that answers the question of why they didn't start speaking after the two died!
https://www.fox23.com/news/exclusiv...1999-case-of-missing-oklahoma-girls/742163656Sources confirmed that someone fired shots outside the home of one of the witnesses in the case Monday.
FOX23 has also confirmed that the witness received several threats online in the days before the shots rang out. The threats were reportedly in connection to the girls’ disappearance.
Bible’s family members talked to FOX23 about the threats in an exclusive interview Tuesday.
They said people who have information concerning the missing girls are still scared, and they believe some people do not want any potential witnesses to come forward, even though one suspect is in custody and two others are dead.
They also said the possible connection between the girls' disappearance and drugs could contribute to witness' fear.

hahaha! Word. But in this case i believe the reporter ...simply because of the blatant mishandling!
Yes, it seems like if you want to commit murder, Oklahoma's the place to do it.

“By 2006, 450 of those mineshafts remained open, and of those numbers, 186 mineshafts are located within Picher’s city limits,” Keheley said. “Some of those mineshafts close to the Welch home were closed in 1986. Others were open in 1999 and have since closed.”
[/FONT]Also in the mining field are hundreds of old cellars, many of which have collapsed, Keheley said. Those cellars were 5-by-7-foot structures with wooden roofs, roughly the size of an open mine shaft.
Unless there is a very specific tip, is it possible there can be a search for the girls? It sounds like a very dangerous place to be poking around.
I honestly believe they would have to know exactly the location. There isn't just a possibility to gather a search party and walk around Picher. What land is in the area is now mostly swamp, and who knows if the places covered with water is a cave in or not. Very dangerous!
Why is it now covered by swamp? Is it covered by water from the tailing ponds? Don't mining companies have to restore the land?
I find your questions are a lot like mine and others who are following this case. I have never heard names being said about the two men who showed up earlier to the Freeman's house. I am anticipating if LE will release how exactly the 3 POI knew the Freemans in the first place. I have heard Danny grew weed, but I don't know for sure if it was a booming business that brought in money or if it was a hobby. Nothing was ever said about how many plants were on the property after the fire and if he was a business grower we would've heard all about it. I am really confused on all parts of their stories about the night of the murders and fire. We have heard different scenarios, I don't think that the parents would do a drug deal with their daughter's best friend there. I just don't see that happening. Especially, since the family had CPS called in the past. Then one story is that 2 of the POI were only the look out while Welch killed the Freemans and took the girls, and they set the fire. I wonder why different witnesses have different stories that were told to them. I think given the fact that the witnesses were so scared of them to believe the story that they would remember every detail that was told to them. It's the varying of the facts that happened that night could be answered away in a trail. Any good defense lawyer could poke holes in the people who came forward stories. I am sure there is other evidence that they are holding on to that connects the 3 to the scene besides Welch's girlfriends insurance card.
My theory is Welch might've been one of the guys who visited the home days before. One of the three has to be connected to the Freemans at some point. They didn't just drive up on the house. I think they intended to rob them and then something went wrong.
Maybe someone went for a gun or one of the 3 just flipped out. I don't see why they would all have to die because the girls walked in on a drug deal. Maybe Danny did owe them money and they came to collect and things just got out of hand.
I just would like to know how the POI knew the Freemans.
Why is it now covered by swamp? Is it covered by water from the tailing ponds? Don't mining companies have to restore the land?
