according to chat gpt, still an appropriate plug that would have been used in the type of vehicle you are searching for. Happy to post the full write up if that helps.
Plugged the last photo in chatgpt for some analysis and ... see below. wow.
What you're looking at appears to be a very heavily rusted old spark plug, partially embedded in some corroded material—possibly engine debris or soil. The ceramic insulator has the marking "TT8", which is a clue...
Going out on a limb here, but I would like to know if Liz or Sergio owned a valuable/rare/sentimental item that was NOT for sale at the garage sale, or that they owned at one point and later sold?
Could the killer be a deranged person who wanted that specific something they had and when asked...
I feel with cases like this they could release high resolution drone video of search areas and let the public help with the search. This has worked before. We need thousands of eyes up in the sky at least over areas with limited tree-cover.
Bingo. This absolutely looks to me like a new, inexperienced delinquent type. Loosely planned, pulled some outfit together. Prepared like he thought he should but didn't really have much of a plan or any real intention when he got there. Young and obviously a loner.
Has no attitude of...
I'm almost positive there is a wealth of interior/exterior cameras in the building in all public spaces. The building insurer likely has the tapes already. If the family of the deceased sues, we may see it from the defense. I think this will come down to - were certain areas that should...
I think impersonating someone in uniform is a thing of it's own though -- more anti-social than just larping as a civil war soldier.
There are cases of criminals using uniforms to get into otherwise difficult or secure locations etc. Given the seemingly pointless wandering he did in the...
Was Bowie found wearing a leash or was he running loose-leash in the park?
The fact that the phone was found a small distance from the Katie tells me that she might have been walking with her phone in her hand (as opposed to in her pocket) when she was ambushed.
I could imagine a scene where...
I wonder how closely LE has looked at the neighbors that had a view from their windows to the Barraza home. Were there any neighbor disputes, HOA issues in the past? Could a disgruntled neighbor have alerted the killer who was staged nearby?
Would love to know if the dash cams of responding officers were combed through for any sight of the truck. They were on scene within a few minutes, quite possibly one of them passed the suspect on their way out of the area.
We are getting into late summer here in colorado. I wonder if that follow-up search in the location where the boot was found has taken place - or will be soon.
These are all my own opinions and speculation.
LE could say Alan died during a (for example) drug deal trying to buy X drug or meeting up with a profile on grindr that we could not trace back to an actual person. Someone else who buys X drug or has met up with someone from grindr might...
