What happened to the camera and the purse it was in and why was David's wallet not taken?
It is scary to think that the perp is still out there somehow avoiding having his dna taken for other crimes he may have committed.
Is he living a" normal, respectable life" now, someone seemingly beyond reproach?
Was this someone whose relationship ended and the sight of a happy young couple singing and playing guitar together, incited uncontrollable rage, or is he what would now be labelled an "incel", one who is angry at the women he desires, but cannot attract?
Maybe he was resentful of students who attended that university for some reason?
random thoughts and speculation, imo.
The Childs and Metzler murders: Five years later
rbbm.
"Police said that within two hours of arriving at the fields, an unknown suspect shot the young couple with a 30-30 caliber-hunting rifle. A man walking his dog the next morning, on August 27, discovered their bodies. Childs’ was found outside of the car, while Metzler was found still inside.
Officials have remained almost silent on the case since March 2012 when they announced two major pieces of information.
Childs’ purse was taken following the murder. Her cell phone, camera, Hokie passport and credit cards were inside.
Also announced at the March 2012 press conference was the development of DNA evidence collected in the form of fingerprints. According to the Montgomery County sheriff’s office,
investigators have obtained DNA samples from residents that frequent the area."
