MI Rudy Bladel, "The Railway Sniper" killed from 1963 to 1978, MI and IN

Bumping this thread up. Bladel's known killings went on for 15 years, and the first (known) murder took place a little over 60 ears ago.

Although all of the victims generally believed to have been shot by Rudy Bladel were Railroad men, it is possible that there were others as well.

I think looking at and testing any remains found at railroads or within reasonable distance of his timeline should be pursued. Chances are this man made at least one mistake in killing someone at a railroad who was not employed there, and another likelihood would be that clearly he was violent and his frustration could have been taken out on anyone who gave him the opportunity. I also think his persistence and ability to find a new gun whenever he needed to points to him being responsible for several other murders. Is there still an investigation on going? or since he's passed away they aren't looking to tie him to other possible murders.
