I don't believe drugs had anything to do with it either. First I can say he was not high when he walked in the store as he was conversing with the employees for about 8 minutes after he walked in. I would think they would have noticed if he was high. He seemed organized, but not very organized...

It's never been clear the extent of the sexual assault. That could be why she called 911. Maybe she stopped the assault before it could get worse, only for him to catch her on the phone. Like I said before, I don't think she makes call unless she felt it was their last hope. I do believe it was...

I don't believe there has ever been anything showing the layout of the store. I do remember someone making a video of TJ Max and they were standing outside of the breakroom where the murders happened. Nothing from LE though. I agree about the 911 call. She would not have made this call and...

My theory as to why he stayed so long is that he got greedy. He didn't get satisfaction with what was in the register so he decided to stay and get as much as he could. Just my theory though. I am 99.99% sure that he had at least 1 more person helping him, possibly more.

From what I have always understood, they were looking for an African American male with green beads from the get-go. As far as I know she is the only living eyewitness who saw him up close. What I believe is that we only know a small fraction of what she told them. We are pretty much on a...

I have been saying this exact same thing for 12 years now. I would think that if there was any urgency to solve this case there would be constant publicity, as in tv shows or documentaries or books. Nothing but crickets over the last decade.

She is still anonymous. She hasn't said anything public in 18 years, as far as i know. This case is dormant if you ask me. Other than the 10-year anniversary where they released an updated image of the suspect, there has been nothing in this case for many years.

It is sickening seeing President Trump being compared to Hitler or what is going on in our country being compared to Nazi Germany. I suggest you visit a holocaust museum and educate yourself on what happened in Germany under Hitler. Unless you are Jewish, like i am, you have no idea what we are...

Funny the first question I asked when I first started posting here was why this case wasn't featured on ID or any other crime shows. It blows me away how many cases I see profiled on the various crime networks, some cases are profiled on like 10 different shows. Some have books written about...

Well 17 years now and still no closer to a resolution. As of right now no news articles about the anniversary. I have seen many more cold cases receive far more attention that this one and this incident resulted in 5 deaths.

<modsnip - quoted post was removed> As for TP police, 2 possibilities come to mind. 1, this case is not a high priority anymore after 17 years or 2, they have a suspect and have not made the arrest yet. I am hoping for option 2 and someday soon we will get the news that there is an arrest. I am...

The headline for that article was misleading to say the least. When I first saw it, I was kind of excited but then as i read the article I realized it was more of the same that we have seen over the last 16 years. Perhaps there is something brewing that we do not know about, but I have doubts.

In Clearwater, Fl. For those familiar with the area, I am around NE Coachman and 19, a Non-Evac area. I am going to hunker down here. I thought about leaving but I feel safer here at home. It looks like landfall is trending south of here which means we will get the wind and rain part and not...

I once had hopes of seeing this case be solved but those have waned over the past few years. The silence from LE has been deafening. I could be wrong and I hope I am. I have been following this case for over a decade and compared to other cold cases, this one just does not seem to get the...

We don't need him to repeat things. We are smart enough to make decisions for ourselves and form our own opinions.
