Assuming the perp is local, let's take a look at the numbers.
According to the 2000 Census, there were 11,731 people living in Dacatur County, TN. 48.6% were men = 5,701. Assuming the perp age is 20-45 (31.6%), the number drops to 1,801. That is the number of potential suspects assuming the perp is a local male between the ages of 20 and 45.
If everone of them is a suspect, I wonder how fast LE and eliminate the other 1,800 to find the 1?
Still catching up the last couple pages so forgive if already addressed.. am wondering if this number could be shaved or narrowed even a bit more..
1,801 males in Decatur County ages 20-45..They can shave down the number by removing all African Americans[since LE has verified he is white male] but with the distance of the sighting I would be hesitant to narrow it down further as to the skin coloring such as Latino or Mexican as examples..IMO given the distance I'd say that would be too quick to assume..But definitely could rule out all African Americans from the 1,801 pool of possibility...
One other detail that could be used to lower and narrow that pool of possibilities is if LE is certain that the perp is of say atlas 5"8-5"9[And yes i know what LE's description of the perp is] and the number depends on if you go with LE's first describing the detail of height or the second description they released..and that is why I safely went with perp's height atleast being 5"8-5"9..Therefor LEwould be able to narrow the number of possibilities to any even smaller pool of men in Decatur County from the pool consisting of white males, 20-45yoa..by then removing all those who's height is under 5"9..
I am not sure of the percentages in Decatur county of what their make up of race is, but no matter how slim a percentage of differing ethnicities from that of the perp[whose been stated was indeed white/caucasian]by removing any males that are African American it would, regardless of how small, atleast narrow the scope of the investigation somewhat..That combined with removing any males of short stature[under 5"8 to err on the side of caution]..Would prove to atleast have forward movement in Holly's case..
For now I continue to pray for Holly if by some miracle she is still alive that she be spared from the evil of that which took her and thus far has kept her for unknown reasons[yet I know we all have the horrible thoughts of what his sick motive was for taking her[..I pray that God put a host of Angels surrounding Holly and keep her safe until we can find her..
ETA: one other thing while this topic is on my mind is that another possibility to help narrow down is by removing many handicapped such as wheel chair bound, removing anyone who on the day of April 13 had a type of injury that would've been clearly seen by the eyewitness..such as a broken leg with large cast and/or crutches, etc, etc..
I think if sat and pondered on details such as these that would almost positively rule out a good number of those 1, 801 men as possibilities.. if thought through I sincerely believe that number could infact be significantly smaller..
Just a few of my thoughts on various ways to narrow down the 1,801 males that are in the pool of possibilities..
