Is this a law we really want to overturn. That opens the door for fully automatic assault weapons, hand grenades, etc.

It's been way too quiet on this topic. Has anybody heard anything new in the past couple weeks on this search location or info about the soil samples taken?

The good news is that there must be "compelling" reasons in order to keep Drew locked up under the law. There is a lot of evidence under seal that we don't know about and I have to believe that it has something to do with a case against the murder of Stacey. I base that all on the Peoria...

I like a lot of your thinking. But I would put these to thoughts back to you to try to work into your theory. Again, these are just MY thoughts and I could be wrong, so don't take this as I'm a know it all: 1. I've thought about multiple burial locations, but ruled it out in my mind because...

Because fellow police are like family, and families have each other's backs. I'm not saying that's right or wrong. It just is what it is.

I strongly agree.....great assessment. I think they have something and they are testing. It would be a HUGE blunder if they stated they thought the HAD something that proved Stacy was there then lab results proved otherwise. The defense would have a field day with that. They need to be 100%...

Good logic. The one thing I have a hard time with is that D.P. would leave the car parked somewhere with a body in the trunk. I believe that since he is a control freak, he would have "needed" to be in complete control of where the body was. I believe it was in the house until he was able to...

I agree with you. Either DNA or chemicals that could be used to dissolve a body, or some other trace that ties in with the new lead that led them there. Or hey, it could be that LE is telling the truth and they are waiting for special equipment. What I don't believe is that they are stating...

Anything is possible However, to your first point (again, this is only my opinion), why take any chance of starting a chemical reaction in the house. Plus, he was away long enough to dissolve the body in chemicals. The only reason he would want to begin the reaction early is so he wouldn't...

BBM......a body is nearly 100 degrees and cools very slowly. If recently deceased, the body wold be retaining the heat, especially if concealed in a closed container. Imagine how hot you would quickly get inside a closed barrel and you can imagine how the barrel may feel warm. You would...

bbm.....To be clear, I don't think any chemicals would have been added to the barrel before it was moved from D.P.'s house. It would make the barrel too heavy and the fumes would have been over-powering. The barrel being warm to the touch would be the case just from having a "just deceased"...

Not sure what happened to all the areal views, but I believe the "burial" site was near a creek or river. If the theory is correct about dissolving the body and pouring the remains in a shallow area just inches below the surface, any floods over the past three years could have washed away all...

The cynical side of me says he was working on his contingency plan for years. As psychopaths go, I'm pretty sure he would have thought of everything, including teeth, etc. But what he didn't plan on is being in prison while his accompliss grew a conscience. In prison, he can't "control" or...

Unfortunately at Stacy's young age, not likely to have gallstones, though.

oh ya, for cya reasons, those are just my opinions.
