Thank you, Aimee. You did answer my question.....heroin and meth. My brother was formerly a Madison County prosecutor, and he said 6 years ago that the heroin issue had become overwhelming. I guess I never thought about the downstream impact of the heroin crisis to the entire community and...

Hi Aimee, I am a former local. I grew up in Alton, which is of course Madison County. My Mom grew up in Staunton, so I spent some time in Macoupin County as well. My Dad was from Carrollton, so Greene County (I think), and so spent some time there as well. I moved cross country 30 years...

Warning: Graphic gruesome question alert. I haven't kept up as much lately on the detail posts on this forum lately, other than knowing that YY has not been found and that (alleged) 🤬🤬🤬 is still breathing. I am not a local, but a UI alum (a few decades ago) and this case has haunted...

Thank you, kittythehare; I appreciate your kindness. I am (just a tiny bit 😀) emotionally invested in this case, for obvious reasons. I don't really have an inkling of where he could have taken her, though I am dubious that she was ever in his apartment. I agree with you and the...

DSM, FWIW, knowing the area, (though I have been gone for a long time......😀) I totally agree with you. There is literally nothing except for cornfields (and Allerton, which would be another "area of interest" if I were LE) for 50-60 miles south, until you hit Decatur. Poor BC's...

I agree with you on the plastic. The realtor told DSM that the house had been abandoned for some time. That plastic does not look like it has been there for a long time. If it had been, I would expect it to be very dusty and dirty, particularly in a garage......nope, not that I can see in...

I believe that they are staying in UIUC provided housing. <modsnip> This is truly heartbreaking; as a parent myself, I cannot imagine the agony of not knowing where their daughter is and what she went through. Heartbreaking.

IQuestion, I am an alum of UIUC, but have been gone for 30 years. When I was there, Boneyard was a verrrrrry shallow creek (I mean less than six inches deep, if that) with little water "flow" at this time of the year, unless it had rained A LOT all at once. (I lived literally 50 feet from...

I am not smart enough yet to know how to copy text in responses. Owl4, I agree with you that BC looks pissed off as hell im his mugshot. (Even though we know he said he never gets angry...as if!) I have young teen twins, and the best description of his countenance is what my kids...

I wonder if the recording device is in her purse? Interesting how she has it over the opposite shoulder and looks like she is hanging on to it for dear life.

Looks like blue bullet proof vest to me, but hard to tell from a distance. I can safely guess that it was not a sweater vest, given the temps in the MW this time of year.

I don't think so. I think he admitted picking her up on the 14th or 15th. This rally was June 29, so the day before the arrest.

Chanute Air Force Base (may be closed by now; I am old) is about 1/2 hour away, IIRC.

It would be in the neighborhood of 3.5 hours from MO, and I think slightly less to Indiana.

ITA; it is completely illogical and does not follow AT ALL the first few statements. If I were in jail for a highly publicized crime, and had nothing to do with it, I can assure you that I would be crying like a girl (I am one, so not trying to offend anyone), certain it was all a mistake, and...
