There is a case back when I was first involved with the Weleetka girls that just totally shocked me. I had formulated a theory based on other cases that were unsolved. I was up for fourty hours straight at the computer. Coffee and cigarettes. Denise Stice, the weleetka girls, Joann Stephens. (s.i.c.). American Legion Posts and VFW posts were all in the vicinity of these killings. But, I based this on what I knew about my suspect, Dan. MMD has his name. I had contacted the OSBI 3 or 4 times over the course of a few weeks, originally because Dan showed up here in my corner bar right on the heels of the weleetka girls murders, after a two year abscense. I knew enough about his habits up here to assume he was living the same way out there. Sure enough, the day I called with my theory, they pulled Joann Stephens out of a river still in her truck after missing for a year! It is one of the first questions I asked MMD when I got on here, "was your dad a member of the American Legion or VFW. Ask her youself.
Joann Stephens left her house without her purse, or cigarettes for a job at a warehouse up in Oklahoma city. She was missing for a year. Officially, they say two kids found her car sticking out of the river. Very similiar to Jody. Denise Stice was on her way to work. Found in Water. Her wedding ring was intact. Very similiar to Jody. This is why I don't think bo is involved.
All I can say is, the police, etc, need to get their game face on because there is just too much of this out there. I can't even begin to tell you how far some of this stretched. Dan's ex girlfriend was busted a few months after my tip in west branch mi, for selling cocaine out of Bucemis' pizzaria, right across the street from the Ogemaw county Sheriffs. They apparently were the only ones in town who didn't know she was a drug dealer. Everyone else did. There, I vented.
