Forget about all the scapegoats. They are meaningless and only serve to distract. This happened from the inside, not tthe outside. The seeds were sown and watered long before the event.

From April, 2021
Who killed Katelyn Markham? A girl goes missing, skeletal remains found, but no arrests

 

[dantespurgatory]

Eliminate the fiance, Ellie Weik's killer, the friends and all those mentioned since August 13th 2o11. Who is left. Who else had access to Katelyn and the town house.

If you are implying DM had something to do with it, I'd be interested to hear your reasoning. in the 10 years i have been following this case, i have not once seen something that leads me down that road.

 

[dantespurgatory]

Not implying anything. Don't know what DM is.

 

[cocomod]

I am completely shocked that this case is not been solved. Once her body was found, and the location in which it was found, I thought there would be an arrest made before now.

 

[dantespurgatory]

Put Saturday night aside. Dismiss all those accused.

Retrace Katelyn's interactions from Friday night and the week before.

It is there that the answer lies.

I finally watched the "Still a Mystery" episode, 'Brides and Murder'. I've also listened to a podcast (the name escapes now) by a private investigator who looked into her case. Her fiancee is certainly a person for LE to look into. But the podcast revealed there are others that LE should have looked at. And now the TV show on the case comes up with Ellie Weik's killer as another possibility. I wonder if the state investigation agency could take the case files and the PI's files and get to a conclusion. I get that the fiancee is looked at, but at the same time I'm not entirely certain he is her killer.

Not implying anything. Don't know what DM is.

I believe DM (Dave) would be Katelyn's father.

DM would be at the very bottom of my suspect list.

DM would be at the very bottom of my suspect list.

mine as well! which is why i was trying to parse out if that's what they meant. but i've also never seen anything to convince me that JC isn't the top - and only - suspect. so maybe i have tunnel vision.

 

[JnRyan]

I was trying to remember the podcast on the Katelyn's case and it was "Gone at 21" by PI J. Ryan Green. I haven't looked at it recently for updates, but when I listened to it the Ellie Weik case wasn't being considered. Green had other suspicious characters in addition to JC.

 

[dantespurgatory]

Someone else brought up the acronym DM. Don't have an understanding of what that is, but it doesn't matter.
Erase all those mentioned publically, throw away all the speculation, and start from scratch. Instead of looking for who killed Katelyn, look for the reason why she was killed. Profile, not personalize.

What will it take to solve the Katelyn Markham mystery after 11 years?

It's been 11 years since Katelyn Markham went missing from her Fairfield home during the early morning hours of Aug. 14, 2011. And nine years since her skeletal remains were found in a remote wooded area in Cedar Grove, Indiana. But what happened to the 22-year-old art student and how she died...

So what is it going to take to solve Markham’s homicide case?

“A confession. Someone walking in and having a guilty conscience,” said Dave Markham, Katelyn’s father.
“Nobody is doing anything about it anymore. I don’t think Fairfield (police) ever really tried. Butler County (Sheriff’s Office) tried for awhile ...”

From your link:
Snipped: Police on Friday arrested a man named Jonathan Palmerton on one count of perjury, according to the Butler County Prosecutor’s Office.

The prosecutor’s office says Palmerton’s arrest is “associated with the investigation of the Markham case.”

There is more to come soon, but, wow. It's great to hear of real progress in a case this old.

They never gave up. Kind of gives me hope.

 

[AliceInPain]

I've thought of Katelyn a lot throughout the years, I hope she can have justice and her father peace...

Jonathan Palmerton is a friend of John’s (the boyfriend). He was called to the townhouse by John the day he “discovered“ Katelynn missing. You can hear him on this podcast at the 36:00 mark.
