Good. After how this case was handled in the beginning, this new task force is going to leave no stone unturned. They will scour every square inch of that house, along with the storage units and the property in SC, I’m sure. So far, I’m super grateful for them and the work they have done. How they were able to keep it so under wraps for almost a year and half is impressive.
I agree with you. I have wondered how he could be responsible for Shannon Gilbert when the house or area she called 911 from wasn’t his house.
I wonder if she has linked up with John Ray. I know he’s been an advocate for the victims and their families but he’s also been a showman and a wild theorist, IMOO

I do think his family served as cover. And, to be frank, he probably wanted someone to keep house, cook, shop, etc. I think his wife served a purpose. With her son, I think she made the perfect candidate for someone who would remain and put up with him, for the sake of having the son provided for. It's an arrangement that could work and be pleasant for everyone, but I don't think a pleasant relationship was his objective.
Interesting, because in the early days, I pretty clearly recall DS saying that the night Amber disappeared she walked away from the house and he never saw who picked her up.In the winter of 2010, shortly after police discovered the remains of his roommate and three other women buried on a remote stretch of Long Island shoreline, Dave Schaller provided detectives with a description of the person he believed to be the killer.
More crucially, Schaller told them about his truck.
The man they were looking for was a towering, Frankenstein-like figure with an “empty gaze” who drove a first-generation Chevrolet Avalanche, Schaller recalled telling investigators. The man’s size stuck out, as did his unusual pick-up truck, which he’d used to flee the house Schaller shared with Amber Costello.
On that night, Schaller said he came home to find the stranger threatening Costello, an occasional sex worker, who had locked herself in the bathroom. The two men came to blows, with the hulking intruder eventually leaving in the truck.
Prosecutors say Costello was last seen alive on Sept. 2, 2010, as she left her home to meet that same client. A witness saw a dark-colored truck drive by the house again shortly after she left.
“When they told me she was dead, he was the first person who jumped in my head,” Schaller told The Associated Press. “I’ve been picturing his face for 13 years.”
He came face to face with an alleged serial killer. 12 years later, his tip helped crack the case

Agree 100%, also her son has special needs and required almost all of her attention, instead of it being focused on RH
He (the roommate) didn’t see the truck she got into the night she vanished but another witness did. I think the roommate saw it the night before when they pulled their ruse on him but I guess the original investigators on the case didn’t take it into account or didn’t care enough to investigate further.
I see. Thanks for clarifying. The article was kind of confusing in it's wording.
IMO - I think he contacted her from a different number and pretended to be someone else (even though he told her the night before she owed him and gets credit for next time) and offered a large sum of cash. I don’t think she would have willingly left alone with him after what transpired the day before.
Excellent question and don’t forget ~ he was married once before, which I believe that marriage didn’t produce any children but I’m super curious what his first marriage was like and why it ended in divorce.
The problem with that idea, is she got in the car with him. She would have recognised him.
This is why I question WHEN the information was actually given to authorities. AC and her roomies were not living the lifestyle to indicate they would have readily admitted to LE their own activities. Not on the first interview. Maybe not even on the 12th. Plus, IIRC, they did not even report her missing. Is that right? When did the roomies actually confess the ruse? When did they actually give the info to LE?
