These two bits of information don’t seem to line up at all. Based on the comments of the father, this is pretty clearly not a human trafficking situation but rather a girl living at home who ran with a rough crowd and was killed by people she knew over some personal grudge/issue.

Seems odd that coins were found on the body but those haven’t been used (or at least released, in the NAMUS profile) to create a PMI estimate of ‘after 19xx’.

It's certainly possible (or even likely) that the killer was an amateur paid a small amount by someone involved in the planning dispute to pay a visit and try to intimidate the victim, and that things unexpectedly escalated. But people pushing the 'hitman' theory uniformly tie it to his banking...

NBL is pretty big there and they have several prominent players in the NBA. It's obviously much less popular than AFL/NRL but it isn't like cricket in NA or ice hockey in India or something. The jerseys just look like the sort of basketball format : BELL 8 AFL uniforms (and pretty much...

Could be? Those nameplates are what's getting me. Something much longer is written over the 11 than the 8. It's the same jersey ... but different. And the more I look at the design, the more I wonder if these are basketball jerseys. It looks more like an NBA or NBL jersey (or some lower...

There's no way in hell this was a professional killing. This was someone with a personal issue with the victim who went there to threaten or negotiate with the victim and then things unexpectedly escalated. You don't go to someone's house to kill them and talk to them at the door for several...

My daughter hasn't worn hers since the summer and I honestly can't remember what they look like after only a couple months. Maybe others have better memories, haha. If you look at the white blur above the numbers they're a different size. One looks to be 3-4 letters and the other 6-7 letters...

Almost certainly homemade. My daughter has those sorts of things too. Problem is that these sorts of multi-coloured bracelets are incredibly common and it’s pretty unlikely that someone could specifically remember seeing that exact pattern over a decade ago. The giant uniform wall mount is a...

Most of these are pretty benign and/or common but the double-framed AFL/footie uniforms are an utterly unique/recognizable item that should be the easiest thing on the list to track. Photo should be given to every custom picture framing shop in the country.

Based on their statements from earlier this year I wouldn’t be surprised if law enforcement have already identified the killer in the 2nd murder (the one with DNA) and are currently going through the much harder process of trying to link that likely long-dead perp to the other killings in the...

That tie looks more black than blue and is of a pretty generic style. I’m still at about 98% that Barry George did this.

Shouldn't this be in the 'Identified!' section at this point?

Yeah, weird. If they could prove the bag was ordered after he'd worked there in 1992 it's an absolutely airtight case, but if the bag had been there in 1992 the fingerprints aren't really evidence at all and if that was the key piece of evidence it's amazing that it went to trial.

Between her very posh name ('de Vere' is an old/significant surname in the English aristocracy), the fact that she had been studying English Lit. at university before dropping out, and the fact that she was referencing 'going to Switzerland' in conversations with her mother, it's a pretty safe...

Jeez, grow out the beard and that age 55 approximation is absolutely dead on.
