That would be a good thing to check. Let's see if such a fb page or something similar exists!

There is such a facebook group it’s called Save Monon High Bridge

Yes. Exactly the first thing I thought as well. Then as I read I see we’re all thinking the same thing. I need more time in the day to start searching.

Whatcha finding?

As far as I know, this angle and geocaching both were discussed Very early on. Unfortunately we are not aloud to discuss any of it here. In early threads people began discussing individuals from these groups and even posting side by side pics of BG and random individuals. My best advice for anybody who wants to dig deeper, google is your friend and secondly never mention anything you find there unless it’s been brought up in MSM or approved by a moderator. Moo

Oh sorry, i wasn’t aware of any previous discussion about BG possibly having an Illinois accent as per the recording of his voice.

Yes- I followed this part of the thread pretty closely and remember both of those angles being shut down by mods. Albeit they were interesting, nothing in MSM could back them up.

There are a couple of things I find particularly interesting about Michelle’s case in relation to Abby and Libby’s murders. One is the sketch of the suspect:

“On June 19, 1980, police released a composite sketch, developed based on descriptions provided by two witnesses, of the man they believed stabbed Martinko. The sketch indicated a white man in his late teens or early 20s, weighing between 165 and 175 pounds, and standing about 6 feet tall.

During the original investigation, detectives compiled a list of more than 80 potential suspects. More than 60 were tested and cleared.”
DNA evidence leads police to charge Iowa man with murder in 1979 killing of Michelle Martinko

Maybe it turned out the man the witnesses thought had stabbed Michelle was someone who just happened to be near the scene and didn’t have anything to do with the crime. Or perhaps the composite just wasn’t very good

LE also released phenotyping composites in May, 2017, and that did not connect Burns to the murder, either. It was only after genetic genealogy was used that they were able to identify the suspect:

Also interesting, IMO, is the fact that the suspect lived only an hour away from the crime scene at the time, and continued to do so until he was caught 39 years later.

It doesn’t sound like he was eccentric or reclusive:

“When the father of three did stop in, Wright said they would make small talk, chatting about work and plans for the day.

Burns co-owns Advanced Coating Concepts with his son, a powder coating business and turf equipment dealer just south of Manchester.

‘He was in here (Wednesday) morning,’ Wright said. ‘We talked about how he had just dropped his cat off at the vet and about his work, and he said he had a busy day ahead. When he left I told him ‘Have a good day Jerry, I’ll see you tomorrow.’’

[SBM]

A retired teacher, John Curran, of Manchester, said he knows Burns from Bob Stephen Motors, a Manchester car dealership where the men occasionally would see each other and talk.

‘It seems awful shocking to me, the way I’ve known him,’ he said of Burns’ arrest.

[SBM]

Likewise, Mike McElliot, of Ryan, who has known Burns since they were freshmen at West Delaware High School, said he finds the news impossible to believe.

[SBM]

‘He’s a quiet, respected guy,’ he said.

McElliot said he felt bad for Burns as he listened to news accounts of Burns’ arrest Wednesday.”

Manchester community shocked at Burns arrest in Martinko murder case

As others have suggested in recent days, maybe BG is closer to Delphi than one would think.

I don't know whether he's connected to the Delphi case, but I hope they're looking closely at Libby and Lyric's case in Waterloo IA, and other Iowa cold cases and disappearances. He would have been in his late teen in 1970, around 24-25 at the time of Martinko's murder. It's possible Martinko was an isolated action, but so many of these older cases are turning out to be serial murders...

these guys are hardwired to kill..look how JWG killed again and again, 30 bodies piled up in his basement.

He murdered a boy who lived across the street from me, and also a boy from my high school, during my first year.

Gacy fully enjoyed his little hobby, all under the nose of his wife ( literally).

sexually motivated murder is probably NEVER this one time thing.

serial murderers all over the place. mOO
 
  • #879
Martinko wasn't sexually assaulted though.
 
  • #880
but there could still be a sexual component, I'm wasn't sure in the case of Martinko, reading more now. mOO
