AZ AZ - Allison Feldman, 31, Scottsdale, 18 Feb 2015 #1

[MaryS]

Has LE ever stated whether or not the neighbors camera showed the BF leaving AF house the night she kicked him out so he could go study? I was wondering if he possibly left at 1am and thats who the camera filmed leaving her home. The camera seemed to show the BF when he did the welfare check and the camera may have shown the perp or maybe the BF leaving her home at 1am. Maybe I'm mixed up...this is quite the puzzle.

Boyfriend is NOT been ruled out

Well, that is interesting. He's been interviewed multiple times stood out to me.

Yes, it stands out to me,also. What was it that they kept reinterviewing him? Inconsistent statements perhaps.

 

[enzeder]

Well by the looks of it, they have absolutely NO suspects or any idea who did this. OR this is another game their playing with the suspect. I don't know what to think anymore

I'm no expert, and I could be totally wrong, but I tend to think that they have a person of interest in mind. They're just not calling that person a POI publicly atm. IMO.

Here are some articles regarding the subject.

What's the difference between 'suspect' and 'person of interest'?

Dilemma of Interest
Many law enforcement officials now use the vague term “person of interest” to describe people caught up in their investigations. That poses a challenge for journalists, who must try to convey a situation accurately without unfairly tarring someone’s reputation.

Would be nice if there was a press conference, at least it would give us something to talk about here on WS.

Family and media aren't pushing for a pressr, and LE is not looking to tell us much... so we are at a standstill, a sleuthing point of frustration...

LE is holding all the cards... they have the 911 call to analyze that, lots of forensics, surveillance, questions they've asked and have gotten answers to compare...

According to that article from FOX10 news SPD still has DNA to process. Does anyone know how long that generally takes?

Scottsdale Police Department Commander Tom Henny says Allison's murder is the top case at the department. Over three dozen personnel are working on it and DNA evidence taken from the home will take another two weeks to process.

"It could be someone who lives in the neighborhood, it could be a random act of violence, we simply don't know right now," he said.

"We have nothing to make us believe that she was targeted in this case, but we also don't have anything that tells us that she wasn't," said Henny.

The bottom line here is more than a month after the murder there is no suspect, and nobody is under surveillance.

Well, that has got to make the neighborhood feel safe.......................right.:facepalm:

I wonder how many neighbors have acquired dogs, guns, and security systems in the last month?

Now the department is releasing an update on the suspect. Police believe the suspect may live in the area, have taken a few items from her home and obtain a Tiffany bracelet taken from Feldman.

:gaah:

Agree, does not sound like a burglar, sounds like a sexual attack. Taking her cellphone and credit cards does not make sense - those are the last things a wants to be found with after a murder. So why take them? - to make the attacker appear to need money, when in fact he really does not. So, seems like person of means, and inexperienced in crime.

I agree. Taking the credit cards has no plausible reason, in my opinion, other than to want to deflect the purpose of the crime thereby deflecting it from the identity of the perp. When I put that together with the fact that we know he was most likely in there for at least 3 hours and trying to clean it up (smell of bleach), in my opinion, he's not only inexperienced, but this was not in any way planned, and so all I can come up with is a crime of passion. IMO

 

[KALI]

I think the murderer left dna at the scene if Allison fought back. But, then the killer poured bleach. So hoping they're able to retrieve dna.

 

[Luvrosco]

I agree,Kali.

http://www.patc.com/weeklyarticles/dna-timeline.shtml

A timeline for DNA processing.

Obviously, this time-line is a rough estimate of how long it would take to analyze a relatively straightforward case based on my experience in the laboratory. The total time adds up to approximately 54 hours and 15 minutes. Along with the other tasks mentioned earlier—cleaning, documentation, and quality control—it is probably closer to 60 hours. As can be seen, the forensic DNA analyst has many responsibilities, from quality control to actual technical work in the laboratory to technical reviews. There are other responsibilities such as testifying in court, training other laboratory personnel, etc. The analyst usually has to juggle multiple cases as well. There is no short-cut to speed up DNA testing. With lives and liberty at stake, the forensic DNA analyst has an obligation to produce the highest quality of work and with this commitment comes the cost of time.

........and SPD claims it needs 2 more weeks..........what? You'd think it would be placed at the top of "Things to do". I've watched other cases around the US fast track DNA and get the results in 4 days..:facepalm:

Would really like to know the extent to what was stolen from the house. When SPD said "credit cards, iPhone 6" was that because her entire purse was stolen? Tiffany bracelet, was that among an entire jewelry box full of jewelry?

One shows intent of taking souvenirs by a murderer (but seriously, an iPhone, credit cards and a bracelet?), the other, a burglary gone bad.
And we still don't know if she was sexually assaulted. Wouldn't that give a "head's up" to women living by themselves?

 

[Luvrosco]

I wonder if the stealing of the cards,phone and bracelet was to throw LE off into thinking it was a burglary gone wrong,when it was a crime of passion in reality.

Just turned on the tv and a true crime story is on similar to how they found AF... Detective was commenting that the head being covered or wrapped in his 30 years as a detective has always turned out to be the victim knew and usually had a very close relationship with their killer. Stated that wrapping or covering the head/face shows some remorse and that the killer doesnt want to look into their eyes. Something I never realized that I thought I'd share.

Yes, I've also seen that mentioned. That's why the BF is in my sights or someone else that she knew well.

........and here in lies another dilemma.

Was she coming out of the shower with a towel around her head? (cloth around head)
Was she shot in the head and the "cloth" or whatever used to stop the spread of blood? (cloth around head)
Was is a large caliber, hollow point bullet that made a huge mess that the perp wanted to keep from ending up on everything? (cloth around head)
Did the perp know AF and couldn't handle looking at her face or what he had done? (cloth over face)

SPD has given bits of information that can only bring assumptions.
Found naked in main hall way with cloth wrapped around head .........was startled by a noise while showering and came out or perp put it there, or was it used to muffle the gunshot.
AF might have come out of the shower with soap still on her, or perp was cleaning up the scene......white powder/residue substance on floor around her.
She may have done a load of "whites" in the washer or the perp was cleaning up the scene............bleach smell.
No forced entry..........unlocked door(s)/open window(s), security system not on, opened door for someone, person was known/unknown.
She was shot.........was that the cause of death and where was she shot? Was she shot once or ?

And just what if her credit cards where NOT actual plastic cards but the CC app on her iPhone 6? Did SPD actually know, for a fact, that she used plastic recently?

Who gave her the Tiffany bracelet? And when was the last time anyone saw it, or did she possibly loose it prior and think it would "just show up"?

 

[Luvrosco]

Prior to her current BF, has the name of her former BF been released?

Respectfully BBM -
Not to be gory, but covering the face is done in cases of necrophilia, or near necrophilia where say in this case someone she had interviews to do work for her came back to sexually attack her, but she fought to the death to prevent...

ETA - I mention this because this is a good example of tunnel-vision that can happen, figuring the crime has to be committed by some the victim knew; whereby focus is then placed upon those close to her, without looking at others.
