I highly doubt the amputee theory, you can see that his ankle torques when he starts to kinda turn toward the girls or so it appears. He walks like every other 40+ male in the world to me.
Thank you! Do you think the killer could be someone that they know/not random? Can you speak to the theories of the handicapped leg? I disagree 100% about his leg. I feel he is very healthy/agile,Hi All,
I’m from Australia, it just so happens I’m in Law enforcement and have experience with the Policing side of Homicides.
I can across this case from a podcast a few weeks ago, since then I’ve followed along to see how it progresses.
I’ve read a lot of responses from contributors on this thread. Fortunately I can clear a few things up, but unfortunately most of the cyber detectives are over analysing.
Remember this, ‘finding’ out who did this crime is half the process. The main process is ensuring a criminal conviction for police.
Therefore, the general public and even the victims families ARE NOT entitled or should be presented with evidence or possible suspects under any circumstances.
All evidence released, including sketches, audio, video, and in this case car siting, is to be done with a specific outcome in mind. e.g produce leads, further evidence, new suspects etc.
I saw people post, “why not release all the audio?”
Well... why, it obviously won’t help produce new leads. And/or the remaining audio evidence could taint jury if released. I understand you want to here and see the evidence, but bluntly, you have no right and all general public are to be treated as possible suspects/witnesses. Remember you aren’t trained investigators.
Finally, I watched the press conference and found it fascinating.
The press conference was directly aimed at speaking to the killer. My guess would be they have a short list of suspects or may even know 98% who it is.
Everything said in that press con was scripted by a FBI Profiler. It is designed to agitate and provoke the killer in to acting differently or saying something to someone that makes them stand out.
I’d also guess they may even have suspects under physical surveillance or recording devices.
Remember again, ITS ALL ABOUT THE CONVICTION. So they may only need some final concrete pieces of evidence.
That would fit in perfectly with the fact it was only 7 weeks ago they had the anniversary press con.
It’s sounds to me like things are very close.
- new audio, need another witness to come forward after recognise.
- new video, same reason as above.
- press con, push killer to say something on phone or start acting erratic, people notice.
- car siting, May need another witness to place killer in car earlier or leaving car. DNA.
My guess is that it was a random event, killer was probably driving past and saw them. Car won’t be registered so that is the reason it can’t be traced back to him and he dumped it. Killers act on impulse, very rare they plan.
Hopefully that helps! Be confident in the police, they are the experts. Let them do their jobs. Time to celebrate will be after the court hearings.
Thanks from Aus!
I agree. I think he most likely has a knife and not a gun. I am leaning towards a person transient in nature. Once again, I notice that Lafayette does not have homeless. There are two ways out of Lafayette into the country. US 26 and US 25. US 25 goes to Delphi. Just a few miles off highway 65. It would be a very likely place for transients to go sleep at night . Lafayette has big drug problems. The police are not friendly in Lafayette. I got stopped for a traffic violation. The road and signage was weird. I didn't stop completely before turning right. The officer actually asked me what I was doing in town. It was stupid. I played the nurse card and got out of the ticket. Then I called my attorney and let him know. It was a weird question to ask. If this guy truly is transient, or the people he runs with, they are not going to come forward. I do believe there are people around him that suspect him. But they are not going to trust LE.

That is true indeed.
Why is that obvious ? You are right that releasing the entire audio might be harmful for the investigation/trial but more information (= more audio) generally tends to be helpful.
How do you know this ? I am a criminologist for example, maybe some people here ARE trained investigators, even if not, I have seen a fair amount of less qualified "trained" investigators and some talented amateurs.
You conclude that based on what ? There is no general rule that the single purpose of a press conference is to provoke the killer/use it for strategic means. Of course the mindset and reactions of the pertetrator are always factored in but in quite a number of cases the press conference does not explicitly target the culprit. My guess is too, that this press conference had some strategic elements, yet it is only a speculation, as is your interpretation.
So you base this speculation solely on the general statistics of violent crimes ?
What is that supposed to mean ? It sounds like the classical appeal to authority, one of the notorious logical fallacies. Of course one should not interfere with the police and yes "hobby detectives" produce a lot of nonsense yet it doesn't hurt unless it is a real interference. And sometimes it even helps.
You might be well meaning yet I dislike the tone of disdain that shines through some of your sentences.
Peace
Just thinking if the girls did reference a "creepy guy" then I think that removes any thought that they might have known him.
I heard a scream as well!
Yep. And memories are fading fast after 2 years, folks. Have no idea why they are sitting on ANY pertinent info at this point.
I don't think transient at all, though I understand there are transient people and they often frequent parks.
It’s coming. Carter is this mad because this person is known and he betrayed many people. Sadly, as I will keep saying, more pain is coming for the families. And now I believe they continually said “little girls” (about 7 times in PC) because he is probably a dad to someone.
IMO, it's to weed out false tips.
