I am not buying the mental illness argument. Certainly there is some level of mental illness and it played a factor. I think there has to be some level of that illness in most crimes where one human being took the life of another but, as in most cases, he knew exactly what he was doing. It is...

I just finished the three episodes of BIll Jamison's case as it was just republished on the podcast. I am relieved that I am not the only one that thought Mr. Walter's "profile" was complete horse manure. By his own admission even the family did not know much about WJs personal life and having...

Soon to be 43 years. There was a mention of a new initiative and testing of items from the scene using new technology not available in 1982. That would lead me to believe that they are trying to test potential DNA samples. If so, I wonder if they have had any success creating a profile.

“I know we have not been successful in talking to the shooter’s mother yet at this time,” O’Hara said. “But there continue to be efforts made to get that done.” This is concerning.

My thoughts exactly.

I think this guy just wanted to kill himself and make as big of a news splash as possible. He targeted everyone and everything that would check the box to ensure that his name stays in everyone's mind for years to come. I have a brother-in law who could be considered supportive of his kids. In...

What court order? Just curious.

This guy was just all over the place with the mental illness. I am trying to put reason to his actions where likely no reason is to be found. Citing Nazi rhetoric seems to go against everything that this guy built his life around. None of it makes sense. I agree with the premise that most of...

Just listened to the Vanished episode on this case. That podcast is, at times, very frustrating. There seems to be instances where they gloss over seemingly important details. In this case, they mention the sister of Vickie being at the fishing camp at the same time but there is just not much...

Another thought just struck me however it would likely not lead anywhere. I wonder if this guy was work seasonally at one of the farms in the area? Perhaps the farmer thought that one of there folks just decided they didn't like farm work and move on. I remember living in that area as a kid and...

Just somewhat random thoughts. I am not 100% sold that this was an attempted child kidnapping. I agree that it is a plausible scenario but there are so many questions. Why choose a summer, weekend day in a park well populated with people? Why choose a family of four? Certainly, common sense...

So, perhaps it was the person sent to help that police heard screaming for help. That makes more sense. At first I thought targeted, however, I hike a lot in North New Jersey where we have a lot of bears. I can sadly say, that I feel people are far more of a threat, even out in the woods, than...

I did not see one way or another in the earlier posts that I have managed to comb through. That makes more sense.

So, I haven't read all of the posts so forgive me if something I say was already mentioned/disproven. The girls ran to the visitors center. The troopers searching the main trail heard screams from the lower trail ( I presume from one of the victims however this may have been proven a false...

This is kind of odd. I guess the first child / young man yelling Michaels name could have been a sibling looking for him while not seeing him laying in the neighbors yard? I wonder how this could have happened? My first thought was that he was choked unconscious and then aspirated stomach...
