Hello All,
And Artie, you wrote:
>>Also, in regards to the "wire" did anyone mention that it could have been a wire from a composite hunting bow? <<
While you were writing, I was researching some things -- have been for the last several hours -- was working on writing something here. Artie, you are thinking in my brain. This is what I had written, getting ready to put it up here while continuing some research.

Hello All and hello Rosie (dang I miss Medusa!)
The following has been plaguing me -- is piano wire similar to bailing wire? Also...the scrubs, now that seems that it would be something that people would notice, grass cutting is a pretty regular thing in Illinois, right? I think that seeing your neighbor mow the lawn in scrubs on a regular basis would stick in your head. Additionally, the following notes "bloody scrubs" and "neighbor down the street found" -- wasn't it LE that found scrubs in the trash, was it blood, was it red paint -- well, I suppose we will learn more about this (and throw up.)
Interesting comment on the stltoday.com site. BBM

Greetings all. My source from Columbia said the ligature was something similar to "piano wire", which is able to cut through the windwipe and artery. Causes a lot of bloodshed. Maybe they can find security tape that shows CC buying thin wire at the local Walmart along with the spray paint.Also, CC was known by everyone to wear hospital scrubs whenever he worked in his yard. Morning of killing, a neighbor down the street found bloody scrubs stuffed into his trash can. Hmmm, just a coincidence?"

Bailing wire: 18 and 20 guage?

>>Piano wire is a specialized type of wire made for use in piano and other musical instrument strings, as well as many other purposes. It is made from tempered high-carbon steel, also known as "spring steel". Music wire is another name for piano wire: it is used for the cores of strings, which may be wound with other materials. Music wire is used for a variety of stringed instruments that use steel strings, such as guitars.<<

>>These "bale type things" that were mentioned being brought in at the conference...just how might those connect to anything?
My first thought would be, do you use a spray paint to paint targets on those? Could that spray paint at a target at the home be linked to the spray paint in the crime?
Which one of you sleuther's found that littlesheric bow hunting thing? Might you have given them a GREAT tip to have looked at?
I recall asking, were there targets towards the lake, maybe something the children shot at? Or maybe these were somewhere else and picked up -- on a Coleman property?
What could those bales be used for? The paint, a hunter wouldn't leave a bow hanging on one of those would he -- not outdoors? Maybe one with a string missing?<<
STRING MISSING... Remember my mention? I wonder...
I was looking to see wire and gauges and then...yes, bow string, do they make it out of wire?
