You've just discribed my suspect "Jerry P."..
1. Loner
2. Social issues
3. Traverles the road quite often lives w/in a mile from the crime scene.
4. Violent temper, has quite a gun collection. Always, has a loaded gun handy in his car, or truck and has a tendency to use them to.
I wish, one of you would read all the charges against him in Okfuskee County...they range ..assault with a deadly weapon, to pointing a gun with intent ...to assault and batteries, restraining orders..you name it!!
Hello Weleetka1,
P's old home place is on the west side, both of his parents are deceased and he lives there alone. His sister Carolyn B. built a home on the family acreage, but needless to say, she was forced to vacate and move. You can see she has a permanent restraining order against JP.
I'd guess his shack would be about 1/4 mile S...SW...of the Plackers.
Again, he has ...and still is the only suspect that jumped out at me.
Back in the early 80s he was institutionalized...(attempted suicide)..at Carl Alberts mental hospital in McAlaster...while there he met a young lady ..with issues of her own...the two married...unfortuately they had 2 little girls. His mother finally couldn't stand the abuse anylonger...she called DHS and the girls were taken..the mother attended classes the DHS offered...and the girls were placed back into the home.
Later...because of sexual abuse ... the two girls were taken...and this time adopted out.
Sometime in the early 90s...Pamela P choked to death in the wee morning hours...while eating a WEINER.!!
Jerry P. is wicked.
I just had a thought. What if PP and the Uncle sent the girls to the bridge with money to pick up drugs for them? This would be a good reason for Tyler to have her purse (carry the money down to the bridge and carry the drugs back to the house). This would also explain why, after only 30 minutes, PP goes looking for the girls. He wants his drugs and wonders why it is taking so long for the girls to get back. The Uncle also goes looking when PP doesn't come back.
The killers don't produce the drugs but they know the girls have the money to pay for them, so they decide to let them start back and then attack them for the drug money.

This probably belongs in a different thread but it is a very interesting theory.
Some parts fit: Uncle J just being in the vicinity around the critical time; Uncle J driving past the girls but not stopping to say hi;
Uncle J in front of the news camera like a deer in headlights;
Uncle J allegedly holding court in an all-night diner after this most tragic event.
It also fits in with the idea that OSBI, after knocking themselves out for three months, recognized a drug deal gone bad;
but in utter frustration with the P family's lack of information, threw in the towel.
If YellowDog's theory is close, then the P's would have had to know who the girls were meeting, and probably who gunned them down.
What doesn't fit is why the P's would allow an 11-year-old girl from a straighter family background to be part of this.
Also, the undeniable rage with which this was carried out.
This was much more than robbery.
Could the P's have been in an earlier deal with the same people, which did not work to the others' satisfaction?
Then, this deal was examined after the girls left the bridge and found to be more of the same?
So the enraged merchants took off after the kids and used overkill to send their message?
Then they took back what the girls were carrying home and slithered back to the underworld?
It also fits with OSBI leaving town without a word to the families (that we know of), or to the community. Maybe they implied that, "If you don't tell us everything, we aren't telling you anything," and to the locals, "Keep your kids away from drugs." Meanwhile, the P's, already overwhelmed by grief, think they are facing more legal problems if they tell all, not to mention retribution from those they told on, and scorn from the community. Didn't they already have to move and lay low once before?
Not a pleasant scenario. No theory justifies what happened and no theory should demean the P's grief. But, as most wonder why the lack of progress and why OSBI has apparently given up, I also wonder if those closest to the victims were 100% cooperative......
I don't believe those girls were ever used as mules.
Taylor always had her bag with her. She carried her cell phone, her MP3 player, and a bottle of water in there.
They might have been killed, because of a botched-up drug deal or something, but I don't believe they were part of anything themselves.
