My husband is a funeral director and has had police set up hidden cameras in flower pieces on the casket of a murder victim to try and catch the killer confessing as it apparently happens more than most realize.

Considering the girls location I doubt her phone (if she even had an iPhone) would have uploaded the video to the cloud since there probably wasn't a close enough cell tower to give her phone a full signal. I know that my phone doesn't even add my pictures to my Photo Stream until it's either...

Just because Longo is certain doesn't mean he has shared his reasons with the university. They might be doing this just to stop the endless calls from parents.

My husband is a member of a union that offers legal assistance (funeral director) and he was able to use his allotted attorney hours for anything that came up.

Except its probably pretty safe to assume that JM wasn't traveling 35 in a 15moh zone if his speed is what forced LE to abandon their pursuit if him. I doubt 35mph would be considered a high speed chase.

I'm guessing he was going more than 11mph over the speed limit if it forced LE to abandon following him. "Following the meeting at the police station, according to Longo, state and federal agents witnessed Matthew get in a car and "speed off recklessly." Longo said those state and federal...

To let LE know that he was lawyering up? That he wasn't going to be speaking with then unless they brought him in on a warrant?

Excellent point. Having spent many years on this forum and having long conversations with my Public Defender friend I have come to realize one thing - that sometimes the criminals you should fear most are the ones who you would NEVER suspect would do anything wrong in the first place. The gentle...

I agree. The damaged window was a huge red flag to me, but obviously isn't the kind of evidence that would trigger an immediate aren't warrant. I would love to know if police forensics can prove or disprove which side of the glass was damaged - inside or outside. Inside damage would prove that...

Hmm. JM was wearing all white that night - clothing that would certainly show each and every stain. Wonder if one of the search warrants included the apartment complex's laundry room....

He may have been concerned in the moment but he backed off after Hannah was approached by Jesse Mathew. Maybe 4-5 days passed before he came forward with what he saw, I would assume that his memory had faded over those days because he wasn't still worried about the girl he saw. His encounter...

Or were those the boxes of disposable gloves mentioned a few times on the last few threads.

Exactly. I also assume that since the other victims are alive that they have given some information a out their attackers that leads them in different investigative directions than Hannah's case.

Big news from Rockford today. http://www.wifr.com/home/headlines/More-Murder-Charges-Filed-Against-Todd-Smith-259300501.html?device=phone

I saw this on our local news earlier. Wonder if this was the motive behind murder - Could Katrina have known something that Todd didn't want the world to know about his fraud charges??

Since premeditation can be formed in an instant it could be that they believe he lead her to the basement with the intent to kill her. That's enough, I believe, to be considered premeditation.

I meant to say it was his mom, stepdad, and half brother who were in the home at the time of the explosion.

Todd was 17 when he caused the gas explosion at his parent's house. Here is the case his dad filed against the insurance company after the explosion: http://il.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.19890519_0000767.IL.htm/qx

The fraud charges were from his connection to Retirement Planning Services where elderly basically scammed by Todd & his associates...

Especially since if he does have an account with such a significant amount of money it's probably frozen due to the Ponzi scheme charges.
