Once they find out who they are it might be able to piece together why they were killed and by whom. Unless this turns into a case like the Rhoden murders in Ohio.

This is a town of.only 900-ish people and fewer than 0.2% AA demographic per wikipedia (which my phone will not let me link)

 

[meanmaryjean]

For clarification the AA demographic is mentioned as driving the mystery car in some media reports but not CNN. 0.2% in a town of 900-ish is only 2-3 individuals.

Shades of Chad Izaak - multiple innocent victims, Unlike the ND case, I hops there will be some explanation of motive. Not that there is any legit motive for this, but it somehow closes he loop if you will. Wonder if the perp is who called in the 'car with an African American driver speeding away' report?

 

[cenazoic]

Oh, good question @meanmaryjean !

There was lots of meth-rumor-milling on FB last night, but the victims seem to put lie to that (not to be ageist )

 

[cenazoic]

“[NE State Patrol Colonel] Bolduc said Jones was not the male person-of-interest seen driving a silver sedan out of town that state patrol had pursued earlier.”

 

[cenazoic]

This story says Jones is white, to clarify.

This story says Jones is white, to clarify.

I would bet money now that the perp called in the tip.

Timeline but no 'why'. And the article doesn't really indicate how long after the first crime was discovered that the second 9-1-1 call came in.

What is the relationship between victims and Accused?

 

[cenazoic]

He lived across the street from the Twifords, a couple-3 blocks from Ebeling. We don’t know if there was anything more at this point.
