Regarding Tammy Lynn Leppert and her Mom’s claims he traveled to Brevard County in an attempt to let him photograph her, according to this sheet, Wilder literally drove through her home town of Rockledge 3-4 weeks before she disappeared. (7/6/83) There is literally no other logical way you...

100% It was more prevalent in the 20th Century but certainly not common anymore.

If it’s true that her boyfriend lived directly across the street from Chapel Hill Baptist Church (at the time) and the police searched there, clearly the tip was that he or someone close to him had buried her there. According to Wikipedia, that section of 417 was two years old at the time but...

Sad case - My mind went to Billy Mansfield Jr.; he murdered Carol Ann Barrett the month before and was known to drive all around Central and North Florida.

18 years and nothing that I found from the local media.

This is a very interesting suspect

I haven’t seen any news locally on this in quite some time. Not only does Leslie need justice but so does her family and boyfriend; god only knows the grief he’s been through. I still can’t believe this perp wasn’t identified at the time but hindsight is always 20-20.

Bump… This case needs more attention - someone needs to be brought to justice.

You’re assuming they would hear/see someone ‘trying’ their door. These are college kids in a party house; they have the ability to sleep through things most people can’t comprehend.

You have to imagine the neighborhood operates at all hours of the day. You have students studying/pulling all nighters, kids partying, and other students going in for early jobs. It would be very easy to act suspiciously and go unnoticed. I do think it’s highly likely the person left town and...

We had one in both cars at one point; we live in Florida and had them ready if we needed to cut the kids out of their car seats. (Water crash) They’re great knives and very inexpensive. I used one recently on the interstate to cut loose ground cover off the bottom of my car after I hit debris.

This thread’s getting posts fast and furious, so I apologize if I missed this over the weekend; has anyone mentioned the police bringing tracking dogs in? I don’t remember anything on it last week and it seems crazy to me they wouldn’t have brought them in quickly after the crime.

That threat assessment reminds me of Israel Keyes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Keyes
