Agreed. And for the shooting theory, it would also mean if more than one person had the same ammo and Dickie's gun was never found, it clouds if he was shot and by whom.

I wonder if anyone ever followed up on areas from the anonymous letter. Taking that kind of 'tip' with a large grain of salt, it'd still would be worth a look as all else failed. The roads, the mileage, the left turn and 'suitable' clump of trees seems specific enough to narrow it down some and...

I wonder if Tara often asked her mother to come look for her if she wasn't back by a certain time. I get that she didn't want to miss tennis with the boyfriend later that afternoon, but as a young woman with a pretty packed schedule it seems curious to ask if it was just this one time...

Indeed, that may have been my post. My sense is one was killed or injured beyond letting her go, and another or both of the remaining girls heard it, saw it, or came into the room/building/woods where it had happened and that was it. I think if one were killed after telling the others "I'm going...

Other than all 3 girls unwittingly finding themselves witness to something involving someone/s they could then identify, I've never come up with a motive to killing 3 young girls at the same time. There wouldn't be piecemeal motives. I can, however, think of several scenarios where two and...

Does anyone know the coordinates of where the car was found? I'd be interested in what the view was from it, and what kinds of pictures he was known to take. Because as a photographer, it would make sense if he saw something photogenic, pulled over and popped out to take a picture. The lens...

OPP: para 2 - " Initial estimates placed the time of death July 1, 1971, and spring 1978. This window was eventually narrowed to approximately two years before the remains were found" Barrie Today: para 11 - ""Further investigation narrowed the estimated time of death to approximately two years...

It sounds like they need to narrow the year of death down - these two both say 2 years prior to being found in 1980: OPP news Barrie Today

If he left home in October of 1973, but was estimated to have died @ 2yrs prior to being found in 1980, where was he for those 5-ish years? It's possbile he traveled as a nomad and used a different name. Perhaps he wasn't around many people who would remember him in the first place. For his...

Every time I see this specific tattoo I think of an intake manifold, a very simplistic version, possibly unfinished. Or an 'old' electric transformer. And I wonder which direction he intended it to be seen. By himself he would look down on his left wrist so perhaps it represents some sort of...

My first question is when the 'party' started? A late afternoon soiree comes off differetly than a New Year's multi-day rager, so had he been partying for days, or got there at 4pm and was last seen at 6pm? I suppose he could have died at the party, but not necessarily via foul play. He might...

Sure sounds it. On an otherwise healthy young person, you'd need a significant impact to fracture femurs. So either a car accident or a fall, possibly a high-speed skiing accident. Based on right knee and left ankle, I'd say car.

Was she wearing running attire and sneakers at the confirmed shop sighting? In July, it would be light out for awhile...but if she was noted checking her watch several times it says to me she was either late for something, or was concerned she would be late for something (beyond getting her run...

I see a passing resemblance in the bone structure of the face and fairly impactful blue eyes. But I'd think it unusual, assuming Andy was able to achieve a non-orange blond, that he also changed his part. But what seals it for me is the upper front teeth are very different, even in one unclear...

I think it'd be difficult to have black hair come up light enough to then dye in what looks like a blond, naturally lightened from dark blond roots. And especially diffcult then with what was available. But I also believe this is one of Alcala's photos that was released as a cropped version. The...
