GUILTY IL - Antinette 'Toni' Keller, 18, DeKalb, NIU Student, 14 October 2010

BBM Agreeing right along with you on this one.

So why in the he!! have they not released the POI's name yet? They have charged him with 2 crimes already and he's being extradited, I'm thinking it's about time to give it up. I wonder if there's any way to search records in Lousiana for the arrest and possibly get a name that way? Wish we knew where in Lousiana........ sorry, getting impatient here.

BBM. I'm gonna bet LE wants more solid evidence, witness statements etc. thus to protect the integrity of the case they are looking for info which can be confirmed because it has not been made public. Especially because they can not get much from an autopsy.

It will be very interesting to know if the perp left his DNA on any of the personal items collected belonging to Toni.

Perp could have been saying, "Look in the woods while I run/drive in the opposite direction" which would make him/her somewhat like an arsonist who wants people to know of their mayhem and they get to "watch" via the news while thousands of miles away.
Ridiculously long shot: What if Toni stumbled upon this lunatic in the woods while he was covering up/burning a crime already committed and he abducted her? The remains have not been identified as Toni and her personal items could have been left behind in a scuffle. The media reported that dogs picked up her scent in the woods but the trail abruptly ended near the street which would seem to indicate the she might have gotten into a vehicle.

And I too am dying to know who IS this POI and what, if any, is his relationship to Toni?

BBM. Good point.... I hadn't thought about LE processing the car the POI took off with for evidence of Toni being in the car. Especially if they can confirm there was no reason for or previous times she had been in the car. Though that is iffy, because if she had an acquantance type relationship with the POI it is possible she had ridden in the vehicle previously, depending on if the POI had access to the vehicle on a regular basis from the owner.

Couldn't find anything online in regards to recent car thefts at NIU...just another hunch going nowhere.

Lol, the link thing happens. OT- but you wouldn't believe how many times I catch myself accidently hitting the edit button when I mean to quote a post. At least I usually catch myself doing that now before I hit update or enter than after.

The little guy is good, he had a good birthday. He ate more shrimp from Red Lobsters endless shrimp than I did! Dunno where he puts it! Thanks for asking.

I wonder if we can find anything on this perp in the DeKalb Cty Court records links if they have a court calendar online? If we can search by date and not name that is...... Hmmmm........

Not sure but I almost have to think that we'd have to wait until he's been brought here and the charges laid against him before there would be anything? Not real certain how the extradition works, whether he's officially charged down there when they pick him up or how that works. Let me go do a little checking to see what might be out there in this regard.......

ANY contact with LE so close in time to the commission of a crime indicates a disorganized killer.I have a feeling this POI is connected to this victim and LE is just getting all their ducks in a row. I'm feeling hopeful that this is the killer.

I don't know if I would call that an article. More like a complaining blogger.

I stand, er sit corrected.

I should have said an opinion article perhaps.

Sorry, just sharing what's out there, good, bad or indifferent. Didn't say I agreed.

Nothing to be sorry about. Thanks for sharing.

I AGREE! (In caps not because I am screaming, but to highlight how strongly I agree with you Joe).

I got this far:

Now to the suspect. The man or woman (we don't know because they haven't toldl us) is picked up in Louisiana and charged with obstruction of justice and unlawful possession of a motor vehicle. Translation--he fought with police and was driving a stolen car.

and I couldn't read anymore because clearly the blogger has no common sense when there has been no information made public on the obstruction of justice charges. The blogger made the very uneducated guess to assume the OOJ charges relate to the car. Perhaps it never occured to the blogger the OOJ charges might relate to Toni's case, and perhaps the POI had been previously questioned prior to fleeing. The blogger writes as if OOJ charges relate to the automobile and clearly we do not have that information yet. Anyone who automatically equates OOJ charges with fighting with LE clearly doesn't know what they are talking about and has done little if any research on OOJ charges.

That has to be one of the worse written blogs I have read while a WS member. (No offense to you TCO - You don't have control over what bloggers choose to write in this case. :blowkiss: )

Heh, heh, yeah, well I was supposed to be out looking for any arrest info on the POI and instead I go get sidetracked and next thing you know, I'm bringing back hinky-links. So yes Joe Friday, I am feeling sorry for that!

 

[Cubby]

lol on the term 'hinky-links'. I like that one!

The Daily Chronicle 11:45AM update has this new piece of info:

"Keller family spokeswoman Mary Tarling told The Associated Press that Keller's camera and sketchpad were found near the remains." http://bit.ly/dxrTeM

It leads you to believe that this may answer one of the very first questions in the case- did she know her attacker? Both press conferences by LE showed more of a concern with prosecuting the case. Feithen also said it was isolated and opportunistic, and never mentioned it being random.

link is not working. Also, fwiw, you don't have to use the tiny url as WS software automatically truncates links so they should never blow the margins.

Did Antinette know her attacker?

Are the remains found Antinette's or somebody else or both?

Who is this POI?

How did this person become a POI?

How did the POI get to Louisiana?

I agree. I really wish we knew why LE felt there was not a concern about the general publics safety with this case. There is something that is just not sitting right with me about this, in that perhaps they knew he (or she) was no longer in the area and had fled to Louisianna prior to determining the remains found were human. Even if LE believed the NIU campus and surrounding community were not in harms way, whose to say what kind of (alleged) killer this POI may be? Whose to say he (or she) isn't responsible for unsolved crimes elsewhere and info from those crimes might not help solve this case?

Oh I guess I am just ansy for the POI's name.... it's not like he/she can sue LE for false arrest or libel as this person has not yet been officially named a suspect.

I hope we get a name soon!

IMO Antinette likely had at least an acquantance style relationship with her attacker. I do not think she was attacked by a stranger, she had to have at least minimal trust in this person imo.

LE has stated they do not believe these are NOT Antinette's remains, however an official id can only be made via DNA, dentals or visual id (such as verification of known tatoo's or scars) with the state of the remains ONLY a DNA id can determine official id and an official id is legally required.

I think it is a long shot, but not impossible portions of other remains could be id'd- but very very unlikely, jmo.

What do you mean by how the POI got to Louisiana, I'm pretty sure by car- as they were arrested with a vehicle not owned by the POI, but do you mean what route?

 

[Joe Friday]

Did Antinette know her attacker?

Yes.

Are the remains found Antinette's or somebody else or both?

They are Antinette's. To much coincidence with the person articles found near by to not be her remains. No other missing persons in the area LE is looking for that I'm aware of either.

Who is this POI?

I think this person is someone known to Antinette. Possibly a male friend or acquaintance that was rejected by Antinette. Why do I think this? It was someone that cared enough to call in a tip having to do with fire about the case.

How did this person become a POI?

After giving a tip to LE about the fire in the park, LE might of asked this person to come in for questioning when it was discovered the remains were burnt, at which time the POI fled town. Most likely tracked through either cell phone or credit/debit card records or both to Louisiana.

How did the POI get to Louisiana?

He drove a friends car.
