There is some evidence that there were two perpetrators involved. Witnesses reported seeing two men in the shop after everyone else had left, there is degraded DNA the is believed to belong to a second, as of yet unidentified male, and the problems inherent with one assailant controlling 4...

There is some compelling evidence that 2 perpetrators were involved; (a second more degraded DNA recovered, 2 men seen together at closing time and the obvious difficulty one man would have controlling and tying up 4 victims). More analysis of the other DNA using latest technology is an obvious...

I have followed this case from the beginning and I believe it was one of two situations. #1: Lindsay was murdered because she was suspected of having been a drug informant. Lindsay did have “associates” who were involved in a drug operation that suffered a major bust shortly before her murder...

I am familiar with this case and the area the murder occurred. It is basically open rangeland about 25 miles out of Sacramento. It occurred on a road leading out of the town of Wilton which is a rural hamlet of homes on large parcels; some nicer, some just trailers or shacks. Communities like...

This is a very interesting list. Most of the cases I had never heard of. Very few are believed to be foul play. Realistically, it is hard to make a car disappear; even in a body of water. A car, hitting the water at a high rate of speed might travel some distance to where the water is deeper...

In order for the FBI to get involved, certain criteria had to be met. Murder for Hire involving multiple state jurisdictions would justify FBI involvement. Obviously, in an unsolved crime, nobody can be certain what criteria are actually met but, but the FBI must justify all involvement based...

I suspect they didn’t go directly to Danielle’s home. The Ben Franklin bridge was the only reasonable route there but CCTV did not pick up Richard’s truck. There are plenty of bodies of water in greater Metro Philadelphia. Where might they have gone? I’m willing to bet the Truck will turn up...

Apparently there was enough biological material available to create a Y-SRT profile with 16 markers in 2010. At the time, this was considered sufficient for a “match” if a known subject had the same 16 markers on their Y-SRT profile. Apparently, the FBI has a database of Y-SRT profiles that it...

There is no Salute of Limitations on murder so a murder case will theoretically stay open forever and will not be eligible for FOIA. Law Enforcement Agencies are free to release any information they want for any reason but they can not be compelled to if a murder case remains unsolved even if...

Apparently there were a series of murders of gay men in the Dallas area between 2001 and 2005. Samuel Lea, Keith Calloway; Bobby Berry; James Stephen Watts; Agustin Fernandez Jr.; Lawrence Wheat; and Craig Ceson were found murdered in their residences with no signs of forced entry. All of these...

There is a fundamental problem with witnesses in a criminal investigation when the object of the sighting is not known to the witnesses and the witnesses is not aware that he is witnessing anything related to a crime or anything else out of the ordinary. Memories are formed by something...

I always thought Perry Hernandez was a better suspect than David and never understood why he was ruled out so quickly.

The likelihood that BG or anyone intent on killing JD could have gone to her house at that time and found her entering would be extremely low, yet improbable events happen all the time. They are called “flukes”, “black swans” etc. They cannot be ruled out completely but, they must be...

Per rvivr: I’m not dismissing your analysis, I’m not wedded to any particular theory, but I’m curious as to why a claim of responsibility would need to be made in letter form, rather than by telephone? Or why an official claim would even be made at all. Imo the symbolism of such a killing needs...

This case is frustrating because it is so high profile and somehow, a “possible” is worse than no suspect at all. I am inclined to dismiss this as an organized planned assassination because her death would have had no value to any cause except as a “symbol” and a symbol has no value unless the...
