I was thinking too about suggestions that if the JD was part of a gang of robbers and that his cohorts would not come forward as to not draw attention. I can see that but think that no one operates in a bubble-- even if you were connected to some car theft group you would also visit a pharmacy , corner store, go to a laundromat, pass the mailman Etc. People with casual contact would not be wary of calling in if they saw the news story back in the day. Were there any tips at all at that time?
Agreed 100%.
As far as tips, what I was told was that there wasn't anything substantial.
I think one of the biggest issues is that this case crossed state lines. As far as Gurnee (IL) PD would be concerned, the stolen car was located (case closed) and the body/identity is a Waukesha County (WI) issue because the crash and death occurred there even though our guy clearly was in Illinois looking for work, and possibly housing. From prior conversations I get the impression that there wasn't a lot of collaboration on this case between jurisdictions other than a few initial inquiries about his identity and the property found in the vehicle. I'd love to find out what Gurnee PD has on this case...if anything is still on file...
