    Found Deceased CO - Adam Gilbertson, 29, Denver, 14 Dec 2017

    I find it interesting that his phone last pinged at 12:53, when he departed the bar at 12:50. That seems...quick. If he ended up in water, I don’t think it would have shut off from water damage that quickly (unless it’s an old phone). It seems to me that it was switched off/destroyed by him...

    My husband and I said the same thing, and we are alumni. We were there when the international population really picked up on campus, and while I do think there are a few orientations and things, there need to be far more resources for these students. If the university wants their international...

    That was one of my biggest fears as a local too. What a shock for you, omg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    They have not recovered her phone as far as they have shared. All that has been recovered that has been shared with the public is the Saturn Astra. And the ping near the terminal doesn't necessarily mean it was thrown out as I BELIEVE that just happens to be the nearest cell tower, but it's...

    I agree, I think there could be several reasons for it, and I think we'll know more soon. Just wanted to make an observation in the event that it's useful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Seems to me that this adds to the theory that they have narrowed their focus and are building a case. They are being very, very quiet about this beyond the necessary PR statements to assure the public that progress is being made. I hope I'm right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I can definitely see what you're saying. On the other hand, though, if they have no idea who the driver is, wouldn't they be imploring the public to come forward if they know anyone who's been driving that car recently? It just seems like they should be begging the public for info if they...

    For sure. I would be interested to know how far they were able to track his path. Depending on whether he headed to the interstate or not and which street he took, there are several heavily populated streets that probably have cameras...Lincoln, Springfield, and University to name a few. One...

    Deceased/Not Found IL - Yingying Zhang, 26, Urbana, 9 June 2017 #1 *Arrest*

    Totally agree. There has been speculation that he knew her or spoke her native tongue because of how quickly he approached the car, but I think if he called out to her something along the lines of "Excuse me, Miss!" And then dove right into a convincing spiel, I can see her (or any young woman)...

    In that vein - does anyone have any thoughts on what we know of LE's handling of this case so far in relation to where they think Yingying was taken? What I mean by that is, do we think that LE's lack of searching for her on foot locally (as far as we know) and the fact that billboards were...

    I just read a pretty poignant post on Facebook where someone remarked that if this had happened during the school year, or to someone who had been in our country long enough to have more friends and connections, this case would be receiving more national attention. I sadly have to agree. This...

    I'm with you. I think he either has access to multiple cars, or it was the same car and the earlier targets didn't recognize it in the pics from Yingying's case. One report I saw said that she thought it was a black car, but couldn't provide further details. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
