$1.5 m bond?

I thought it said $500,000? Pretty high either way.

UPDATE: Bond set at $1.5 M in 2015 trail attack

I've seen that mug shot somewhere before.

Here from the Delphi page as well. Hoping this family gets some closure. Not at all farfetched that it could be a IK-style serial killer in the midwest.

Bump

Did she go fishing from the Iowa bank or from the SD side? Did they find her car or did she walk there?

SD side.

I presume they found her car because it's never mentioned as missing.

This article South Dakota authorities looking for cellphone of Sioux City woman who died says they were looking for her cell phone and another vehicle that was seen in the area, but I didn't see anything about whether they were located.

Quickly approaching the 5 year anniversary Thinking of Alicia today.

IMO, Murder-for-hire cases are very hard to solve. In some cases a person's alibi is almost too perfect. Things that happen after the murder tell a story and show the motive. It's sad that this will probably never get solved. There's a famous saying that goes like this..."It's not what you know, it's what you can prove in court".

Do you believe this was a murder-for-hire? If so, what leads you to believe this? I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. As you said; this is a very difficult case.

Alicia's story will be on Still A Mystery on Investigation Discovery on Tuesday, August 18th at 8 pm central time. The episode is titled Eyes On Her.

 

[MntnHiker]

I just watched her episode on Still A Mystery tonight. There were a couple things in the episode I hadn't heard before (maybe I just missed them). One was that her body was found around 2:15 PM. They said, if I'm recalling correctly, that some people in a boat found her at that time. Previously, I thought an employee found her after or around 3:00? So that makes the timeline even tighter. They said she sent her last text at 1:45 and was found dead within 30 minutes.

The other new info I heard was about that text message. She texted a friend at 1:45 laughing about a couple having sex in a car there. That's super interesting to me. If that's the case, someone else WAS there either right before she was killed or possibly when she was killed. It also makes me wonder - could that couple be involved? If they weren't involved, it's interesting that no one has come forward to say they were in the area around that time. Now perhaps the people having sex were having an affair and don't want to admit being there because of that. But I hope they do the right thing and contact police. They might have valuable info and not even know it. I know it's been over 5 years, but still.

I really do feel this might be a random/stranger crime, unfortunately. That she just crossed paths with the wrong person. I think the only way this will be solved is if someone comes forward who knows something, and I do think someone besides the perp knows something or has an inkling. Hopefully they do the right thing. MOO

Or 6/1/2015 could be 9 added from left, then 9 added from right.

flip it over 66 route 66

this is what i mean...once you realize it's likely a stranger murder , it changes the whole stage.

it's a person who is just out there. whether it was a spur of the moment attack , or a long planned and premeditated serial killing , it's a person who is out there and perhaps he is moving around , or he drives that straight shot truck route, and he likes to find places to pull off and just kind of wait and see..maybe he does it weekly, patiently waiting for his moment or maybe he is always watching, waiting and looking.

but once you start looking at a stranger, you have to ask...one guy? one guy did all this?

or a stranger in every corner everywhere?

i wish there was a way we could know.

mOO

 

[luvs10z]

straight route up 105 i worked in a motel near there and one man paid his room for a whole week then disappeared the next day, he had a loud suv blackalso in his friends room sprayed on the wall it said snitches die

 

[luvs10z]

shortly after this a black suv was found burnt up with two men and a 2 year old boy inside, said it was suicide i doubt it

Joining the discussion for Alicia (thanks for the link @margarita25)!

I agree that there are some similarities between the Delphi case and Alicia's. Especially this (from Margarita's link above):
Early that Monday afternoon, she’d sent a selfie— her with her fishing rod in hand — through Snapchat, a social media platform, the Journal reported.

“According to a Sioux City Journal article dated June 24, 2015, Hummel had gone fishing June 1, the first day of a vacation from her job at Siouxland Family Center in Dakota City, where she taught Early Head Start classes for infants and toddlers.

Early that Monday afternoon, she’d sent a selfie— her with her fishing rod in hand — through Snapchat, a social media platform, the Journal reported.

An autopsy conducted in Minnehaha County, S.D., concluded Hummel died of drowning, with contributing circumstances of blunt force trauma to the head and incision wounds to the neck.”

Re: the above last sentence, post 1 describes the neck injury as follows:

“and an incised wound on her neck. “
