Thanks for posting this, UK. Been away for quite some time, but still check in on recent posts from time to time. Your diligence to the case, especially to newcomers is admirable. My memory might be fading, but I always thought JB'S weight at TOD was 45 lbs, and was surprised to see it...

I don't think she was in the star top the whole time. I think PR put her to bed in the Red Turtleneck, because she wanted to be that much ahead on getting ready for the morning flight. It's even occured to me she might have had to bargain with JB...allowing her to wear the Wednesday Bloomies...

The Mackle case happened in Atlanta a week before Christmas 1968. She was 20 years old and said to be beautiful. JR was 25 at the time, married to Lucinda, and would become a new Dad in 1999 to Elizabeth, just as they were settling into a new 8 year Navy Reserve assignment, based in Atlanta...

Good to have you back posting DeeDee249. I was sorry to hear of your husband's passing and know you miss him. I was once widowed also. This case will stick in the craws of some of us until we learn of a resolve...though I am no longer hopeful there will ever be a Boulder DA that will...

Last photo of JBR recently released shows her with one top pony tail in a hair tie. Autopsy and crime scene photos confirm second bottom pony tail secured with blue band. Autopsy also states blue band under tie in top pony tail. Seems more likely to me SAME PERSON made both ponytails, going...

My post on Feb 8, 2013 in thread "JDI - A Possible Prosecution" has more info on this. Also, Google led me to another WS post that references a Rocky Mountain News article in 1997 with this claim.

Maybe in one of Singulars articles?

I have never seen the "obscure fact" about John's bathrobe that you posted. Funny that piece of evidence was never discussed with John by LE, etc. Certainly fuels my JDI theory. Ick, just ick.:(

Thx for this. I agree there are some similarities, especially in the "s" and "d". The info on Elowsky in acandyrose.com says his alibi was that he was in Michigan at the time of the murder. Whhaaat? And there was no record on his SUSPECT report of him producing handwriting samples...just...

Does anyone know if the Barbara Mackle case was mentioned in "Mindhunter"? I agree with your opinions DeDee, and, yes, there was an old article, IIFC, that talked about Beth's flashbacks. Perhaps a statement from one of her college friends?

Points taken. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that the process used by the Boulder ME was not as thorough as it might have been....much like the botched police work that prevailed, and has been duly noted by case reviewers. I can't help but wonder if JB's death had occurred under the same...

The Journal of Chemical and Experimental Pathology, ISSN2161-0681, states that using vitrous fluid to determine time of death has been a postmortem practice since the 1960's. The process was introduced by HN Nauman in 1959. Your comment, archiel, came across to me as being contradictory to the...

I have no problem believing that JR could have preplanned JBs murder thinking that her molestation would soon be discovered and either place him (or JAR) in a devastating position. After reading TOSOS it became very clear to me that JR suffered a grave emotional disturbance after Elizabeth...

Excellent point....the chances of the Rs having flying conditions at that time of the year to insure they would be able to stay on schedule to get them on their cruise would have been very iffy. Of course, they had the means to ditch the small plane in favor of a big commercial flight, which...

I am with ya on this one, SD!!
