It would be better if the perp was turned in sooner rather than later. Now that the sheriff has announced that the reward will be increased to $100,000 soon, why not hold out. I think they need to choose a reward amount and stick to it.

Or could they have been looking for anything that might have dropped or been dropped off the bridge into the water?

Sexual assault can be done with an object, which is what I was thinking wouldn't leave DNA. How do you know the search warrants that have been served were on RSOs? I haven't seen that reported anywhere.

Granted there are only something like 2 true days that the sun rises and sets exactly east and west but the sun does not rise and set in the south in the winter. It rises and sets a little bit to the south of the true east and west line and in summer it sets a little bit to the north of the east and west line. That is what I was correcting is that it doesn't rise and set in the south. In fact because it's Feb and close to the equinox it's pretty close to setting truly east and west.

I think people need to step back and realize that in the grand scheme of investigations this one is still in its infancy. I understand the frustration and the worry, I do but losing faith in LE when they've done everything they can so far won't help.

Investigating is a lengthy and tedious process. Even when the killer is basically sitting on their doorstep it's still a long process. Unless caught in the act these things aren't going to be solved quickly.

I'd say anyone feeling upset enough to argue with strangers, belittle others (including law enforcement) needs to step back and stop spending their lives focusing on this. Take a breather. Watch for major updates but attacking others won't help. You control yourself, not how fast this investigation will go and calling others out about your frustrations won't help.

Someone knows him. If it's not you, don't be so invested that you're changing your life for the worst.


Ps whose BG? I need a drink.

In the Collman case the whole meth story turned out to be false. Her killer was found through DNA.

I've always been rather confused by the need to constantly up the amount of a reward in order to get somebody to call in and report the location of a murderer. It seems to me that most decent people would call it in out of a sense of duty and public safety, reward or not.

On that same note, for a person to be so driven by greed that they won't call in a tip on the murder of two young girls until the reward reaches high enough for their liking pretty much makes them just as bad as the killer himself in my book.

I believe it was discussed on these threads ( please don't ask me which ones...way too many to remember) that both homes searched thus far were the homes of RSO's. Also, object or not it is JMO that the intimacy required of a sexual assault would leave dna in abundance... you can choose to disagree... it after all is JMO.

Something I haven't seen much discussion about is the recent changes to SR 25. One of the reasons people are having such a hard time finding this bridge now is that they turned SR-25 into a much larger highway with limited on-off access. SR-25 used to go right through Delphi and now it goes around it. This road is now literally called "Old SR-25". The ultimate destination is the same (leading to 65) but SR 25 takes a slightly more southern path and is a huge time saver as there are less stops.

You used to be able to take a direct turn onto 300 N off of 25 and be at the park / trail entrance (albeit an easy to miss park entrance).

The bottom right road in these images is 300N which leads to the trail & also leads to the cemetery. Now to access this road you must make a loop. They also added a 2nd bridge going over the new SR 25 to continue allowing pedestrians from town access to these trails.

Point being, it's not an easy place to stumble onto and is even more difficult to find especially via automobile unless you know the area. You could accidentally find this bridge if you were coming from town, walk across the newly built bridge crossing SR 25 as it leads you directly into Monon High Bridge but that would assume that you're on foot and coming from town. I suppose you might see the bridge from SR 25 and think "I wonder where that path leads to?" and it leads to Monon High Bridge.

I've never heard of it! Interesting approach because it can reach people in their trucks or cars who commute or work on the road a lot.

My personal OPINION is that there WAS a sexual assault (on either one or both girls) that did leave DNA, but it didn't match anyone in their system. If it had, it would have resulted in an arrest by now. Remember that young girl (was she autistic or had Asperger's) that went missing a month or two ago, was found deceased in an abandoned house, and her killer was caught via DNA in like 2 days because his DNA was on file?

This guy will eventually be caught based on the 6,000++ leads to go through. I just don't have much faith that it will be soon, and I initially did.

All my opinion, based on no fact.

I think it was speculated that the homes searched belong to RSOs, but not reported as such or confirmed.

Personally, I think the motive for this crime was sexual assault so I believe there is a high likelihood that DNA was left behind. I'm just not so sure it matches anyone in the database. I think LE has a DNA sample that they can't match, but that's just my opinion.
