Wow - serial killers/sex offenders who use poison as a murder weapon are exceedingly rare and to have a known offender who used strychnine in a sex crime in the same state and the same time period is pretty telling. Occam’s Razor would say this is the guy. Wonder if they know he did it but...

The central thing about this case, to me, is that that the double-meetup has to mean that this wasn't a planned murder. If the murderer was just there to kill the victim, you do it right away and you aren't handing him an envelope and letting him walk away and hoping he comes back. The reason...

Oh, there's absolutely a possibility that there could have been some small personal motivation connected to his job that led to this crime. But there's no way in hell this was organized crime or some sort of 'professional hit' to 'send a message'. The occupation 'banker' has a huge range of...

I'd never heard about this case until the 'police update coming tomorrow!' post last week and, like, 5 minutes of reading about this case and this guy had me expecting that he'd be named as his wife's killer. The notion that his wife would ride along to a mysterious meet-up point in the wee...

There's no way in this case. 1) As someone mentioned already, there's no way the killer could have know that anything about 'Paul' or the envelope would be told to the wife. There's no way he could even have know that he'd come back to the door a second time. Nothing about this says 'messaging...

Slightly eyebrow-raising that a truck driver was driving a late-model Cadillac.

It sucks when everyone knows who committed a crime but they managed to get lucky and do it without leaving any witnesses or physical evidence.

Yup. When a celebrity is attacked it's pretty much always either a domestic violence situation or a stalker situation. And we have numerous similar crimes to this (Rebecca Schaeffer, John Lennon, Eddie Waitkus) and it's always a lone obsessed oddball committing the crime. And then in this...

If she actually knew Bellfield, Bellfield is probably the killer. Most people probably never meet a single serial killer in their lives and the odds you could know one but get murdered by another are astronomical. Same deal as the murdered little girl who was a neighbour of Ted Bundy’s when...

Yeah, it’s really weird. The thing they showed doesn’t look like a Mustang logo. Their description of where it sits on the car isn’t accurate. The actual Mustang chrome pony is nowhere near big/heavy enough to kill someone with. The Mustang was basically a brand new US car model in 1966...

Weird documentary. Interesting case and worthy of a deep dive but the series basically just goes off the deep end into conspiracy theories and Big Pharma fearmongering. Literally zero evidence that Johnson & Johnson did anything wrong, just a whole bunch of vague insinuations. Like, the...

I posted back in 2023 that I expected this case to be solved in a year or two via familial DNA and sounds like that’s on track to be the case. Fascinated to see what happens because this is one of the strangest cases there is.

If this was in North America it would already be solved but the UK/Europe they don’t have the same laws regarding forensic genealogy so they’re still stuck where Canada/US were back in 2010 where they need the suspect to be arrested for a different crime in order for their DNA to be in the...

What a strange, sad case. So close and yet so far from a resolution. And how jarring is the juxtaposition of the obit photo of the kind-looking, well-groomed old lady with the newspaper articles about her as a teenage delinquent? I bet she had some stories to tell that never ended up being told.

I suspect the dog will turn out to be a red herring who was just unluckily in their crate for innocent/normal reasons when a whole bunch of other weird stuff happened, and then starved.
