From the start, Loofe investigators looked for electronic breadcrumbs

The police chief referenced cellphones, social media and debit or credit cards Nov. 28. "Those are all different avenues that we are looking at and should be looking at in order to identify where Sydney was, where Bailey Boswell and Aubrey Trail may be."

Bliemeister called it a valuable component of the investigation. Last Thursday, he said it led to Boswell's and Trail's arrests. Tuesday, he said it led to finding Loofe's remains in Clay County.

Larry Barksdale

Larry Barksdale, a former Lincoln police investigator who retired in 2012 with more than 40 years experience, said Tuesday the same way shipping companies can track online purchases and trucking firms keep tabs on semitrailers, so, too, do law enforcement use digital information to help in investigations.

But, for law enforcement to get the information, a judge has to review the process and approve warrants, said Barksdale, who now teaches forensic science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

LE has done a great job, imo, with this case. I like how they seem quiet, calm, professional, methodical....and then there are the criminal duo who are the exact opposite. Good job, LE!

Several here have questioned why the FBI is involved in this case. Here's a link to the FBI.gov website. They investigate cyber crimes. The initial contact (possibly involving fraud on BB's behalf) was made through an online dating site. That is my best guess as to why they are involved in this:

The FBI gets involved in a missing persons case when local police departments request assistance, as the FBI tends to offer more resources, especially with cases with close state borders. They're also called after a person has been missing for a significant length of time or if there's odd circumstances around the disappearance. "So in this case, you have all of these factors."

"When you have a case that starts to attract a lot of attention, along with that comes the media attention. Most people aren't equipped to deal with that. So our victim witness folks will help the families navigate that."

Closest state with legalized marijuana is Colorado.

I can understand involving the FBI as Saline and Clay County LE have little experience with kidnapping/foul play cases, especially with some of the unique circumstances. But would that necessitate keeping the POI's under federal custody? My apologies in advance - I'm not schooled on the way different LE agencies work together.

"Electronic breadcrumbs" - great quote.

So the phones as well as debit/credit cards and highway cameras it says. I guess the cards led them to the casino.

Maybe Sydney's card was used there too? Are these Casino's operated by local Native American Tribes? If so, another reason the Fed would be involved.
 
There's a lot of talk locally that the motive here could be cult/satanic based. Not sure how much truth there is to it but I've heard it from multiple sources. I've struggled to come up with a realistic motive based on the facts we've heard. I still lean towards drug use being the major factor but there could have been some secondary stuff going on that we haven't heard mentioned.

Wow that's a new one. I haven't heard that at all.

[h=1]Sydney Loofe&#8217;s Family: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know[/h]
<snip>
[FONT=&quot]Though she lived on her own in Lincoln &#8212; about three hours away &#8212; and worked at a Menards home improvement store, she stayed in contact with her parents quite often. So, when she didn&#8217;t respond to messages, George and Susie Loofe went to her apartment. They were among the first to enter her residence, turning over a laptop to investigators and noting that nothing unusual was found inside. Her cell phone, ID and debit card weren&#8217;t found in her apartment, and her car was in her driveway, they told police[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]That begged the question of how she got to Wilber, where her cell phone last pinged before powering off.[/FONT]
<snip>
[FONT=&quot]We&#8217;ve been trying to contact our daughter, Sydney, since Wednesday evening, 11/15/17. She went on a date that night and could have possibly been in the Wilber, NE area. Her phone is either turned off or has died, so please don&#8217;t try to contact her. If anyone has any information or has seen her since then, please contact us. Please pray for her safe return.[/FONT]

The heavy.com article says her parents found out she was missing on Thanksgiving at 5:00. That is just completely wrong.

Marijuana possession and use are both illegal in Nebraska.

I find it interesting no charges have been brought against the POI's yet. They don't seem to be the average low level criminal losers. Is the federal POI hold on them significant?

I am assuming the federal POI hold must be significant enough to keep them in jail. I wonder if they are waiting for the autopsy results to come in before making a decision on whether to file murder charges?

"Holy rollers" never started a "satanic panic". It was CRIMINALS perpetrating crime by murdering and or abusing adults and children in ritual fashion who started a panic.

True, but these two POI's are on a federal hold through the US Marshalls Office. To me, that suggests a federal charge or charges are anticipated.

I have no doubt that when more details come out, it will be quite bizarre. I went back and read some of the news articles on this case and it struck me that just four days after AT and BB were arrested, LE were able to locate SL's body. Prior to their arrests, I'm pretty sure the searches were in and around the Wilber area. I believe this is where her phone last pinged.

If I am correct on the above, either AT or BB or both verbally told LE where to find SL, or one or more of their electronic devices led LE to search Clay County. I'm doubtful that either AT or BB verbally gave up this information.

It could have been the car they were driving that gave up the information. Most modern cars have GPS built in with the computer systems in the dash and for connecting all the gadgets we carry around nowadays.

Good point and you are probably correct on that!
 
All that being said, this does not have the hallmarks of occult murder. It seems AT had complete control over BB....drugs and other methods of brainwashing seem to be at play. BB baited SL for some reason, possibly to create a 3 way sexual encounter with AT, less possibly to bring another female under AT s control, less possibly to sell SL to a trafficking ring. Another mentioned possibility of accidental death relating to drugs / date rape drugs is a lesser possibility as well. Something went wrong and SL ended up dead in a field. Robbery as a primary motive can be ruled out altogether.
If they are traffickers or serial killers, they are obviously amateurs...possibly first attempt.
FBI instant and heavy handed involvement may indicate some link between AT and drugs, trafficking, fraud, or stolen goods. Might possibly indicate some sort of cover up as well, but unlikely as of yet.
As far as satanic/occult connection....given the seemingly impressive mind control AT seems to hold over BB, it is POSSIBLE one or both of them came out of an occult or ritual abuse scenario at some point in their lives. There is some precedence for this in both missouri and Nebraska. However, this is only one possibility, and the SL murder does not yet show any of the hallmarks of ritual murder. Also, if elite organized traffickers were involved, SL would be gone and never heard from again. If trafficking is a factor, most likely it was an amateur attempt to kidnap and sell her to traffickers, and something went wrong before that point. By loose definition, you could say that BB is a trafficking victim of AT.
 
Now I'm interested to know what the two POI's we're up to before meeting SL. Days, weeks, a month before. What activities were going on? I don't believe the antiques selling but I think it's a code word for what they really do. Their drug fuelled relationship will help them slip up and going thru withdrawals while in custody won't help them either. For the police to say there is no threat to the public indicates to me the two POI's are it. No one else involved. Also if anyone else was involved like if they were working for someone, the video would not have come out from them. And in that video why mention the "Kate" thing. It's so random that they inserted that. There has to be more to that. They kept to themselves according to neighbours yet have several social media accounts and posted 2 videos claiming innocence. After they exposed themselves they were running "because of warrants". And because now the police know where they live. THat tells me that police didn't know where they were before while they had warrants on them. Which tells me they weren't registered anywhere? Did they have banks cards? Mail? Bills? What name was their phones under? Were they throw away phones? Are these long time crims that just got caught? I don't believe so cause they made those videos. The FBI are involved. Blows my theory that she overdosed so they dumped her in a field. I'm all over the place with this case sorry but it's moving so fast and the peices we have so far don't fit. I can't wait to find out what happened and to hear how the two POI's will be punished. Rest in peace Sydney. You did not deserve to die. My heart breaks for her family. All IMO only.

Pick one of the above....in fact, one just broke the other day regarding the long term ritual abuse and murder of children at a school in florida.
