Found Deceased PA - Linda Stoltzfoos, 18, Bird-in-Hand, Lancaster County, 21 June 2020 *kidnapping arrest* #3

Like the speed limit is 40 and they were going about 30 and slowly up occasionally when the dog would sniff.

Thank you for posting this, Jrsnader. How terribly sad.

I was thinking it could have been her bra. MOO.

I take back the white cape, that was misinformation I received. I don't think she had one with her on that day. Maybe it was her white apron or like you said the bra.

I think it was a bra with possible DNA of some sort on it (e.g. blood or something else) which is why the authorities have said that they think she was harmed, Pennsylvania man charged with kidnapping missing Amish woman; police believe she ‘was harmed’
or even could have been harmed: One month later: Everything we know about the disappearance of Amish teen Linda Stoltzfoos

Obviously they/LE has WAYYYYY more info than we know/have. And obviously they have some kind of credible evidence that she was harmed. We’re just not privy to that info right now. MOO.

I mean think about it for a minute. A bra would send up a red flag. A bra with blood (or something of the like) on it would send up a HUGE red flag, even to a casual bystander. This is just my line of thought and my .02 cents.

Per the affidavit, the white object visible on the passenger side seat of JS's car was seen in the camera footage captured at 12:42 on June 21st. That was immediately after LS was abducted.

I don't think the white object is her bra. Some have said the white object is LS's white apron that she was wearing the day of the abduction.

Maybe the original plan/ploy was to have her walk home from Harvest Dr by following the RR tracks. MOO

 

[GizzardMan]

The harvest dr location could be where she met her demise.

She could have been carrying the bra and stockings in preparation for the walk home.

My opinion only

If Linda was seen at the Amish Road/Buena Vista Road area going north and then also suspected to have been in the area of Harvest Drive on June 21st, does anyone know which location should of been 1st?
Hello to everyone by the way. I've been following along quietly, but not much to say.

It's always the cornfield.

My opinion only

Hi!
I am a new member reading up on the case. Why in the world would a young woman (and a very conservative one at that) be carrying her bra when she was walking on a frequently traveled road? My opinion is that Linda is not the one who removed her own bra. I apologize if I've missed something along the way, but I think this is highly unlikely. What about a the most common reason a female is abducted? It isn't because someone wants a traveling partner.
I am posting the following statistical article because Linda looks like a young teen, not an adult. It's possible the perpetrator thought so too. I found these statistics regarding abductions of young women. I apologize if this doesn't come out right. Read the instructions in the new member area. Still learning!
Child Abduction Statistics for Parents
Stranger kidnapping victimizes more females than males, occurs primarily at outdoor locations, victimizes both teenagers and school-age children, is associated with sexual assaults in the case of girl victims and robberies in the case of boy victims (although not exclusively so), and is the type of kidnapping most likely to involve the use of a firearm.
Here's another one:
Teen Abductions Are Most Common | MoCHIP
Nearly 2,000 children are reported missing or abducted in the United States each day. Contrary to what most people believe, young children are not the most common victims of abduction. Reports indicate that teenagers are the most frequent victims of both non-family abductions and stereotypical kidnappings-81% were children 12 or older.

Welcome! I agree IMO there has been too much talk about LA carrying her bra or it being the white object in the still photo. We do know she was wearing a white apron, which was likely what appeared in the video. Sadly I , like others, believe her bra and stockings found are evidence that pure, innocent LS has been a victim of the worst kind of evil and my prayers go out to her family for closure

Hello to everyone by the way. I've been following along quietly, but not much to say.

I believe that she was seen on Amish Road twice around 1:30 PM. Justo Smoker's phone pings indicated that he was at the Harvest Road location from 2:32-3:35 PM. He was not actually seen at that time, so we don't know if Linda was in the car (or her condition) at that time.

bring her back to the land that she was born into, and bring her back into the lands of the people that she was raised, the life that was, is no longer. This young woman, this young spirit, this young woman, please come home to the land that the blood flows through your vains, even in death, you will not be forgotten. Rest in paradise, next to the people that created you, forever an image, forever with strength you survive. Linda Stoltzfoos, we love you.

The “white object” seen in the passenger seat was immediately after Linda was put into the car, wasn’t it? I think it was Linda, dressed in tan with a white apron over it. The video footage wasn’t all that clear, and the white object was seen through the open driver’s side window. My understanding is that it was mentioned in the affidavit to establish that there was indication that LS was in the car as it left Beechdale Road and therefore was the one seen in the car by the Amish people in Gap almost an hour later.

 

[Rosiebones]

Does anyone know how long LE searches for a victim before they move ahead and charge someone with a homicide? Does it weaken a kidnapping case if a body is never found?
If LE feels they have a strong case against him now, how long will they look for her body to complete the evidence?

You can come home now Linda Stoltzfoos, JS can never harm you or another innocent again. Your family and the community is waiting for you to return so they can love you once again and let you go to your resting place. Please show yourself today.

FWIW - We have Amish close to where I was born and raised, and I've seen Amish women covering their faces when traveling. I believe this is done so they don't observe the evils of the world.

I could be completely wrong about this; maybe someone can verify? TIA.

Hello to everyone by the way. I've been following along quietly, but not much to say.

Amish Rd. and Buena Vista Rd. is in Gap. At 403 Amish Rd there is a massive cemetery with a building near it. I can't make out what sign in front of the building says. At 404 Amish Rd. directly across the street there is another cemetery. Maybe he buried Linda Stoltzfoos there. Someone driving by would think he worked for the town, digging a grave. He could be digging up a really old old plot. Who would question someone digging in a cemetery. Not many.

I live in Linda’s area, and I’ve never seen that. Most ladies I’ve observed and those who’ve ridden with me enjoy seeing the sights and chatting during the ride.

I think it’s Millwood Mennonite Church. They wouldn’t dig a grave on a Sunday though.
