"Why This Scientist Keeps Receiving Packages of Serial Killers’ Hair Getting sufficient DNA out of a rootless hair has long been considered impossible. A scientist, better known for work with ancient fossils, has figured it out. It’s a game-changer for crime and surveillance." -New York Times...

I keep coming back to the same conclusions. This case is going to resolve when, and only when, one of two things happens: (1) the police are able to release more video and someone recognizes the guy or his voice and calls in with a tip; or (2) a DNA match with a family member. Unfortunately, in...

Having information that "only the killer would know" does not really help them trip up a suspect who is in for questioning, it helps discern which people who are giving a confession are for real (if it ever gets that far) and, also, whether notes sent to the police or FBI are coming from the...

Every single reference by any one of us will be from the outside looking in. I said nothing about it for two years but I am now--why? Because historically these investigations catch someone quickly or 10-20 years go by before a break. The fact that it is two years on indicates that they still...

I think I understand what you're saying. I guess my point is that I'm not really sure what they mean by "new direction," but I wonder if the original bases for keeping information confidential apply anymore. After two years, it's time to get the public involved in helping ID the guy. Not like...

The article I was referring to, as I said in the original post, is from four months after the murders--June 2017: Delphi lead investigator: "We're close"

From the RTV6 story four months after the murders, discussing why more information is not released to the public about the crime scene: "Sgt. Holeman says it is difficult for someone outside of the investigation to see, but there is a reason for the limited public information. 'We use this...

Video: THEY NEED TO CHECK THE VIDEO FROM THE DART BUS that stops 30 feet from the Redbox at the Walgreens. It is route 60--I checked the DART website. DART installed video cameras in 2013. I feel that it is a strong possibility that this guy gets off the DART bus at that stop, and there will...

Seems like this guy could be good for it, but you would think they would have run his DNA by now, right?

I don't think this guy has anything to do with prostitutes. I have this hunch that he frequents the topless clubs just south of 80 on Victoria (which might be where he got his thong underwear), then he leaves and heads north toward campus. The Bri attack was not, in my opinion, premeditated...

My thoughts exactly. I provided the information to RPD detectives and they have not yet followed up. Even with the dates and times of the purchases, you could get the word out again and refresh the public's recollection about the underwear. i.e. Who bought the day after Christmas this...

Not Kohl's. It's Burlington Coat Factory. They have one in Reno on S. Victoria where two pair were sold, and two more in Vegas where two were sold at each location, for a total of six. Unfortunately, there was only one credit card purchase. There were three cash purchases and two debit...

I tracked the manufacturer of the underwear and obtained the transaction history for that thong garment. It turns out that the distributor sold six pairs in that size in the entire state of Nevada, all in 2007. I got my hands on the dates and locations of the sales and passed it on to LE. I...

Thanks, SS. Have enjoyed reading your posts for some time. Certainly the underwear may have been mass-marketed. But in finding the manufacturer, you can identify retailers in the area who sold the garment in that size. I simply cannot imagine more than 100 or so small sizes of that...

P.S. I did read somewhere that Kohl's sold this underwear (or underwear like it), but I have not been able to confirm that fact.
