I am a newly registered member to the boards but I have been reading the boards for years. I have wracked my brain on just how I can get more help in this matter and finally I decided that perhaps this would be the best place.
These cases are quite different to me than to most because I am not a family member or loved one of the victims themselves. I am actually a family member to the one I believed murdered these women and is continuing to murder women to this day. How do I know this? Because he is my father-in-law and has admitted to these crimes to both myself and my husband. After the news article came out (I'll post a link to it) we decided that we could no longer live in fear and went to the detectives with what we knew. My husband was actually present at one of the murders as a little boy and since that time he had lived in shock and fear but could no longer do so. We worked with detectives for a long time. We wore wires capturing confessions and put ourselves at great risk at the behest of the police department. We were outraged when it was decided that they did not want to arrest FIL until they could arrest him on ALL the murders they suspected him of and not just the 3 that we knew of for sure. Shortly after working with the police department, our home suddenly started to become vandalized (we lived next door to FIL) and blatant threats were made by him to me such as "I see you outside and I'll shoot you dead" and "You'd be smart to keep the kids in the house from now on". I believe that he found out we were working with police. I informed them of the threats and was told "Then I suggest you stay inside." Within weeks of this, we were told that the case was not being worked on any longer and that we'd be smart to just move away. We did.
This still haunts us everyday. We think about it constantly. We feel shame that we KNOW who killed these women and yet nothing is being done about it. IF anybody even knows the names of these women or is familiar with the cases or families or can help us in any way.........Please! We are only 2 people but maybe if we can get others to help then something can be done and these families can possibly have some type of closure!
You will notice that in the article it is stated that the suspect died of natural causes.............this is not true. He is alive and well and the police told us they did this as a tactic to lure FIL into a false sense of security.
