Looking at similar cases nearby is paramount imho to a case like this. I would feel better if LE would come out and eliminate the family but they've said nothing to indicate the family is even on their radar. So that means there is someone in the area who kills small girls.If it were family , one could assume it was isolated. But since it is not family and we know so much on WS, we have to assume it is NOT isolated. If this is the only time, then I'm sure it is the FIRST of many times for this perp. The fact that within this metroplex, there are 3 unsolved cases of similar girls has to be looked at. I hope LE is looking and if they have, it would be nice if they'd come out to say they don't think there is any relation. Heck, to my knowledge I don't think any LE or anyone has ever said the first THREE cases, Ashley, Amber, Opal Jo, are related or even that they might be. But for Ashley and Amber, there was DNA at the scene, so their killer is at LARGE . We know this, because if their killer was caught on another charge , his dna would be run through , right? Taking Opal out of the equation because we do not know if her killer is in jail and because I am unaware of any dna found because her body's condition I believe was ....skeletal
....when she was found, then we have at least ONE and possibly TWO killers of young girls on the streets for over 10 to 15 yrs , locally. What are the odds those one to two perps never killed again? I'm not going to say zero, but I think the odds are pretty small, especially since we know they got away with it . This is why LE doesn't broadcast what they know...... Imagine this headline :
Heads up Dallas / Ft Worth . There are 4 child killers loose in the area. But you're perfectly safe.
No LE would ever say that and if they did, I doubt any MSM would print it because people would panic, but the reality is now with Alanna, there are at least THREE and possibly FOUR loose on the street. I think it's very reasonable one of these girls may be connected to each other. Even in other states, when a young girl is found I wonder if this perp might be Amber's perp. I think one day someone will get caught somewhere and clear up one or two of these cases. Maybe it's Alanna's.
