Are they kin to each other?
How are they intertwined other than Mr. Chancey is an employer of the Farrows and Mr. Chancey rents the house to the Plackers?
Thanks in advance. Maybe I missed what the link is.
imoo
Not related as for as I know
They BOTH have immediate family members in prison/jail
The Plackers rent from D Chancey who employs Claudia and Jimmy Farrow
The Plackers and the Whitakers both have roots in the area, even though they lived elsewhere most of their lives
Rose was raised by her Aunt, Taylor was being raised by her Grandparents
Both the Plackers and Whitakers moved to Weleetka to escape a big city and all the crime/bad influences there - both families made sacrifices to give their daughters a safer, carefree, simpler life in the country
ALL of them, the Farrows the Plackers and Whitakers had things in their lives they didn't want the community to know and had probably hoped to keep secret
Rose was at the Chancey Farm when Skyla was killed, just a short distance away
All of them are simple working people who are ill-prepared for the media and the attention of a case so much in the public eye
Skyla and Taylor were both kids from broken homes - Skyla's mother was twice divorced and had children living in Kansas and Okla and Taylor, as we all know, was living with her G-PArents who she called Mom and Dad. Both had siblings MUCH older than them. No wonder they gravitated to each other
I don't believe the Whitakers and the Plackers socialized a lot except for their children's sake and there may have been some pre-existing tension between the Plackers and the Farrows before the girls were killed. Now It seems no-one is getting along, and even families are being split over what happened and the aftermath. I think the Plackers and the Whitakers are somewhat similar - and have similar issues within their immediate families. Rose is dealing with her son going to prison, far away from her and the Plackers have kids and siblings and nephews who are in prison, have been in prison or who are dating or married to someone in prison. Both families are poor and were working very hard to give their kids something better than they had, a better education, a better life and better future.
I don't believe either family has any connection to the the killer(s) - at least directly...but I do believe that the killer(s) may have felt in some way connected to them or the girls or was at some time brought into the girl's world - even if it was a brief encounter. The very remoteness of the crime scene just makes it all seem very unlikely that it was just some random crazy person from OKC or Tulsa who just happened to find two girls walking along a country dirt road and shot them. Sure seems to me that a real crazy person who wasn't local or tied to one of the families could have found tons of anonymous people (or kids) to shoot down closer to home.
What I hope is that the PC gives out NEW information and puts this case on step closer to being solved. People are ready and willing to help, they just aren't being told HOW to help, or even what direction to go in to help. If the OSBI wants the public to find their killer, then we'd better be given something more than a sketch and 6 weeks of silence.
