Skyla's video had a ton of photos with her family - in fact it was MOSTLY of her with the family. Taylor's had not a single photo of her with her family or taken anywhere but at school - and there were photos taken at school events like the crowning of a "King and Queen type event with Taylor all dressed up wearing a crown - where surely her GP's were there and surely someone (the school, the boy's parents?) would have gotten a pic with Taylor and her family in it. I think it was intentional to exclude every single family member from the public video for a reason.
And yeah, the perp could be anybody, but I don't think it was. Stranger killings of children not associated with sexual assault or kidnapping are very rare - especially "execution style" killings of TWO girls in a rural area 300 yards from home.
The lack of progress says it isn't a local or someone known to a local.
And I am wondering if the girls were used as "bait" to get to someone else? Did the perp "wound them" so they would call GP and then have to kill them because people drove by and saw him. GP was looking for the girls pretty quickly...why?? Did he get a call? Is that why he found them so fast and said "they killed them"? Was the perp after someone else and only holding the girls as bait? Is that why they didn't run and were found lying 5' apart? Is that why a smaller cailber gun was used 1st and then a "kill shot"? I just have to speculate, but I think we (the public) are NOT being told the whole story here and I don't think this was some local nutjob running around looking for someone to shoot because he was playing a real-life video game either.
The Placker Family may be the key to why this happened - but it is NO FAULT OF THEIRS that it did. They were not doing ANYTHING that warranted Taylor and Skyla's deaths and by all evidence were not living a criminal life or involved with criminals in Weleetka. I am in no way accusing the family of responsibility or guilt here. If they were associated with the Bandidos ONCE, they did ALL the right things - they left and took the family to a better environment and away from the criminal influences. Criminals are just that tho - and there is no honor among thieves and murderers. Sometimes you cannot run far enough far enough to escape no matter what you do.
And Witness Protection is FEDERAL not State - there is no WP program (as in new identity, support etc) for state witnesses. They can be given protection or held in a safe house before trial, but they do not get a new identity or support after. WP (like on TV) is pretty much a myth except in rare cases, usually BIG cases, not testifying against the Bandidos on a cigartette and gun arrest in OKLAHOMA. If the Plackers did testify or were involved it would have been up to THEM to relocate and start over the best way they could.
The reality - and my gut and logical mind tell me this was not random or a "crazy unhinged killer" scenario.There is not one iota of evidence the girls "saw" something or did something that a stranger would have felt endangered him to the point he had to get in his truck and drive down the road a half-mile, stop the truck in the middle of the road and shoot them a dozen times with two guns - including a "kill shot" requiring him to get out and stand OVER them. The POI LET passersby see him and his vehicle clearly without reacting the THEM at all. Mr shoot-em up would have shot at the witnesses too if he was so afraid of being seen.
And I am still not sure the main witness in this isn't GP Placker....any word on where the GP's are?? Is ANYONE living in the Placker house? I have a feeling they are in PC or "gone away".
