Actually, saying what I just did about how many members we have that have already discovered some degree of link has me thinking...
Two joined last August - also the month Alexis Murphy went missing.
I'm guessing we've likely got many others that are locals that joined during one of these other VA cases that have some similarities (locations, time of year, young female victims/MPs, at night, possibly under the influence of something, in some cases suspect or POI descriptions, etc.) because of concern if they could all be connected and because perhaps one was in their relative area.
Meaning I bet in this case we may see even more WS members realize they too have some degree of 'tie' (mutual friends, knowledge of, interactions w/ etc).
Because aside from "regulars" or "die hards" who tend to follow and post on a bunch of cases or most or high traffic or high publicity ones, we've obviously got a bunch who tend to follow and post less frequently, or follow those more in their 'area' (region or just area of interest case feature wise) it seems like we've likely got even more who stick to just things that are local and so joined during another similar VA case and will pop back in with this.
Assuming he stays the POI (at least in the short-term) I think it'll be interesting to see if it plays into the discussion dynamic or mindset in any way!
