IL IL - Lane Bryant Murders, Tinley Park, 2 Feb 2008

[lareportera]

I mean, I have to imagine she still bears a lot of trauma from this crime. And yes, there is a possibility the perp is dead or locked up for another crime, but it's also equally possible that he is still out there. I can't imagine the fear of knowing that the person who almost killed you, who DID kill five other women, is still out there, and police seem no closer to solving this crime than they were nearly 20 years ago. Add in the fact that, as you say, her information is available online with not much digging, and I would be hesitant to put myself out there.

So they don't want to talk because the killer is still out there, mind you there's never been a recorded case where a killer goes back to kill his stranger victim over 20 years later. If anything the fact I could pull up her address would mean the killer could have it found it too but seems like he's not interested in reaching out. And wouldn't it be all the more reason to speak anonymously if needed in order to solve the case and make sure this guy doesn't have a chance to do it again? And if the bullet went through her neck but just happened to miss vital signs wouldn't she been in hospital longer than a few days. We saw what happened to Kirk, a bullet through the neck is not an easy thing to recover from. More questions than answers at this point.

What makes you think she didn't tell the police everything she knew?

I'm sure she did. Some of us believe that by her doing an interview with media or a doc (which the brother of Wanda has attempted to reach out to her) and concealed her identity could generate the buzz needed to solve the case. Also it's 20 years , police are not doing their job clearly, complete secrecy, she could put pressure on the case by at least speaking on known facts of the case. So many things to do. I'm less inclined to believe she was involved but there's enough for a theory where the description given of the suspect is made up or misleadingly off.
