MoCity: I read today on the KHOU site where Biden signed the Homicide Victims’ Families’ Rights Act. Basically, the act gives family members of murder victims the right to have their cold case reviewed by Federal authorities, if I am reading the report correctly. It sounds like you might want...

It seems to me that if they have the DNA, this case would be another candidate for for an investigation on a genealogical web site. For $3000-$6000 they could probably have Parabon Nanolabs figure out who the killer was pretty quickly. I have always thought it was Hickock and Smith and I have...

I was looking for any updates on the internet and I found this: Missing Pieces: Police using new technology to help solve 'Lovers Lane murders' This is weird: they are talking about familial DNA back in November 2017, which was about 6 months before the Golden State Killer was apprehended...

"I will share a recent blog entry about this case by a chap who I think is known as the Q man" Yes, I found this independently (I have been following this guy-Gian Quasar-intermittently since he got involved in the East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer case). There are other posts up there...

" What we have been told is that they are following up "open leads" and there are alot of cold cases in Houston. Agree that is a LAME response but thats the one we are getting. There has been "some" movement in the last couple of months and the family is pushing. " Yeah, well while they are...

"She said they wont do that until all leads have been exhausted. What???? It's been 28 years!" Sounds like BS to me. What could they have possibly left uninvestigated over the last 28 years that would stop them from pursuing a line of inquiry that has probably greater than a 90% chance of...

I think the odds of him being the Visalia Ransacker just went up too, since it appears that he worked as a police officer in Exeter, which is very close to Visalia. I always thought that EAR and the VR were one and the same, but I also thought that the VR was a college student in Visalia at the...

You would think that the authorities would have attempted to DNA phenotype the suspect, particularly since the composites of him all seem to be different. After all, he left plenty of DNA samples for them to work with. At least if they did that, it would give us an idea of what he actually...

I don't know, maybe I just read too many mystery novels where either the criminal inserts himself into the investigation, or he returns to the scene of the crime (I don't know how much truth there is to that old adage). I was just curious, mainly because of the coincidence that there was a...

"It was a security guard patrolling for a nearby office building. Yes he was interviewed and cleared." Was there truly no reason to check his DNA? I mean, was he clearly not someone who could have been a suspect?

I have not posted on this thread before, although I have read about this crime in the past. I also have not read all thirty pages of the thread, so if I am posting about something that has already been discussed, I apologize in advance: in the original post that started this thread, I believe...

I have not posted on this thread before and I have not read all 53 pages of posts on the case, so if I repeat anything that has already been mentioned, I apologize. Nevertheless, I have read a lot of material on this case. With that said, here is my two cents: In my mind, there is no doubt...

To Kline: I agree with most of what you say, except the part about "the fact remains it wasn't Dick and Perry". We still can't say that, after all this time and testing. The testing did not rule them out, any more than it ruled them in: "Authorities said they were unable to match the...

I had the same problem with the articles. The degraded samples that they are talking about are the ones from the crime scene which, as I have pointed out does not make sense, since they should already have a dna result on those which has been used to clear many potential suspects, so why test...

Well, I think what we are being told is BS. The authorities already have a viable sample from the Walker crime scene otherwise they would not have been able to eliminate so many suspects over the last two decades. As for the samples from Hickock and Smith-if they weren't good enough they...
