Skyla Whitaker, 11, & Taylor Placker 13 - Found Murdered - #10

This is true. NA/European descent, I believe was the term used.

I believe that is the way Fox first reported it but I was under the impression when they released the composite at the PC they said an American Indian.

I know when they repeat the sketch view on either on line newspapers or on tv they do not add that the POI possibly NA/Caucasian. They repeat that he is an American Indian, apprx. age 35, 6 feet tall, with a slender build.

In the composite he does look NA to me.

Thats the way I took it also, as they came forward at different times.

Some may have been together but the way Brown talked in a period of time several witnesses had come forward. I tend to think they were not so much in groups as she made it sound like it was at different times that they came forward.

I went to Flower Child's link and there is a page with some of his sketches and the actual photos of the people when they were identified. The first one is amazing, but I don't know if I could have identified at least one of them because he looks so much heavier in the sketch.

I was thinking today at work, if we could get an aerial map of the area where the Plackers lived, would it be able to show any paths?? Maybe the girls were in the woods on a path and saw something?

Then started running and the POI and/or killers got into the truck and slowly drove down the road figuring they would have to come out at some point to get home??

I realize LE has said they found prints indicating that the girls had made it to the bridge and were coming back, but like another poster mentioned, those could have been from the day before. (Wouldn't prints stay on the road if there had been no rain)??

Thoughts??

· IIRC, Brown said during a press conference there were no more than ½ dozen witnesses combined.
· We know of 1 male who saw the girls walking together before the shots were heard (described as very credible)
· We know of 2 who heard the shots (Kelough and her son)
· The sketch was released Fri, June 13th and the OSBI said several people revealed during interviews in the last few days they saw this POI.
· In the interview with Pratt, the reporter says “Days after the murders, Pratt sat down with several witnesses. In less than two hours, he sketched the only man so far singled out.”

cloudajo:

If I am not mistaken, the sketch released on June 13th, was an UPDATED one??

I believe the first one was released on June 11th.

Let me say that there was some confusion on that. I don't have it at my fingertips right now....and don't have much time to search. Just checking in from work for any news.

Authorities, working on tips, have so far interviewed about 50 people in connection with the murders, and Rosser said, "We're still checking their alibis." "Reward is offered as agencies join hunt" (article name)

This is alot of people

Could it be LE is being told by witnesses they saw one vehicle and one man. No other vehicle traffic was seen during the timeframe they are concerned with.

Looking at the crime scene, LE thinks the crime involved at least two people. But they can't get two people to the crime scene.

Could this be why they keep going back and canvassing the area and why they brought in the dog.

And that article was done on the 11th, wasnt it?

Brown stated later they had done hundreds of interviews.

So with all the interviews & albi checking that should mean yes families & sex offenders have been checked out.

I think that has long been done now. I think those were the first they crossed off and then have gone onto others now.

Actually, I think I read that only a couple of the witnesses actually saw the POI. The others either saw the girls or heard the shots.

Does anyone know if any highlights of this case is going to be on TV?

Thank you for clarification. I, too, read this. There were not 6 actual witnesses to the POI.

I thought Brown said several witnesses have come forward saying they saw this man.

I must of miss that post TG I'll look around & see what I can find maybe on the family thread

The sketch artist told the reporter interviewing him that he sat down with several witnesses to come up with the composite.
Put it this way, if two or three independent witnesses saw the same guy and truck, that's a good solid lead, and very credible.

Absolutely and this is why I think the POI is the KEY to this case. No other witness puts anyone else acting suspiciously on that road shortly around the time the crime happened.

OSBI have got plenty of witnesses that saw/heard plenty of things ...this is what convinces me this guy is much more than a possible witness or a POI.
