AZ - Jerry, 62, & Susan McFalls, 62, homicide, Littlefield, 11 Jan 2018 *reward*

From post # 437 and the link in this thread :
Community wants answers in murder case

According to the Mohave County Sheriff’s office, they are suspects in the case.


This is from the sheriff's office and is not considered to be
only his own opinion ; at least according to the LE press release in said article.
Hope that helps.
It's sad that it's nearly four years and still no answers.
MOO.
The day after that newsletter article (Feb 5) you link was posted, ABC news (Feb 6, which I linked) contacted the Sheriff's office and they stated they have not named any suspects.

Ie they flatly contradicted the claims made by the writer of that article.
 
Ita.

Well one would suppose that relatives close to Jerry and Susan would have been cleared by now ?
But nothing yet.
Crickets.
And so we wait.
Imo.
LE do not 'clear' anyone in a homicide investigation. As long as the investigation is open, no one is 'cleared'.
 
I know I've said this before but, honestly, Littlefield is so tiny. There's NO WAY this wouldn't be solved by now if it was a local.
IMO, solving cases has nothing to do with the size of the community, it's about evidence.

But I can see how local people would strongly prefer it was not a local/locals who did it. I mean, who wants to live in a place where that happened, and maybe some people would not be so keen to buy real estate in a place like that.

It's so easy to try to blame outsiders, try to create online conspiracy theories, etc.

But the only thing that will resolve this case is evidence, facts that can prove homicide in court.

If proof doesn't exist, LE can't manufacture it, and I'm personally glad about that. Because it cuts both ways, right? If LE can manufacture evidence against your enemies, they can also manufacture evidence against you.
 
Hiya SuziQ! I actually don't feel it's a messy case. Like you said - follow the money. LE just continues to drop the ball. If they don't have the resources needed to put the murderers away, they should man-up and ask for assistance. Coming up on four years. Jeez!

Hi back at you! Four years is way too long.

My point about it being so small is that people talk. Also, I wouldn't exactly define close family members with a contentious relationship with the victims as "outsiders."

I would also venture to say there aren't droves of people interested in purchasing land in this area.

And, finally, I don't believe evidence needs to be "manufactured" in this case. I think LE needs to get off their lazy a$$e$ and do their job.
 
It's coming up to 5 years for Abby and Libby in Delphi, and they have camera footage/audio of the perp.

It's almost 15 years for Maddie McCann, and UK police spent the equivalent of $15 million investigating it, not to mention the enormous expense by Portuguese and now German police.

Jon Benet Ramsey? The Swedish Prime Minister murdered in 1986?

The Golden State killer committed his first murder in 1975 and was only arrested 43 years later.

Give it time.

Yes, ita. ^^^
This isn't a complicated case and it's solveable.

I disagree that there's any conspiracy theory connected to the murders.
Occam's Razor would apply in this case and the answers are the ones that would be the most obvious.
There had to be someone feeding and watering the pets after the McFall's were murdered.
That stands out as the biggest clue in this case.
Someone knew the McFall's would not be returning to care for the dogs -- so they performed this task themselves.
Who was at their home ?
Why wait for many weeks to report them missing ?

Are there cameras at the neighbors on either side of the McFall's who would've picked up any comings and goings of anyone ?
Doubtful it was the former owners of the house whom Jr. and Meridee cast aspersions upon.
And isn't that called slander and libel ?
Imo.

All true. And not a ringing endorsement of LE the world over.

BBM. Let's go with "deflection."
 
So sad because people were hoping the new Sheriff would do better by this case. It is a messy case but solvable. Maybe the new Sheriff doesn't want to get his hands dirty working it.

Moo.
Its actually the same lazy sheriff . Its his last term so hopefully a new one will one the case back up.
Source for this allegation?

I had to laugh at property values being hurt. No offense to people that live there. But you have to see the area to understand. The weather is good in the winter though. A good place to winter on a budget.

The locals themselves have been vocal about wanting this crime solved.

Every time I drive past I think of Susan and Jerry.

Moo.
 
Its a sad case any way you look at it. These two old folks were just cut down and snuffed out for ones greed. Think about how they must have felt when they knew they had been betrayed.

And 62 isn't very old even! :) I agree that this case does seem solvable. I wonder why it is taking so long, really?! What benefit is it to local LE not to solve it?

This case reminds me of the Lost Hills Sheriffs station in Los Angeles County. They just do not run a tight ship. Time is not of the essence, mistakes are constantly made, policy isn't followed, crimes are not investigated, etc. etc. They flat out do not care about anything but getting their paycheck. Until the press and public gets involved that is.

Moo, based on the many cases I have followed that involved Lost Hills Sheriffs.

Quoting my post to say that people have been cleared early on in criminal investigations.

The two case that stand out that I've followed fairly closely were the abductions and murders of Amber DuBois and Chelsea King .
According to the Dateline special, the bio parents of both girls were cleared fairly early on.

The stepdad took somewhat longer to clear and imo John Gardener, the perp, caused this innocent man untold suffering. :(


According to LE, there weren't questions until they (LE) were advised against searching the area by Jerry Jr. and Meridee ; and as it happened, that's where the bodies were found.

Not a good look , but not a smoking gun, either.

Community wants answers in murder case

One area that was never searched was the area where the bodies were found.
Meridee and Jerry claimed the area had already been searched.

Eleven of the weekly search members confirmed wanting to search that area but Meridee or Jerry said, “searching it further would be a waste of time.”


Nobody, not even Fugitive Recovery Specialist David Bounsall, had reason to doubt or question what they were told until after the bodies were found.

emphasis mine.


It would appear that questions didn't arise from the rest of the family but from LE first, after finding out that Jerry Sr. and Susan were exactly where J. Jr. and his wife said that, "...searching it further would be a waste of time."

Imo.

It will be solved n time. This sheriff has to go first. A fresh set of eyes will turn the case over. There is plenty of circumstantial evidence for a grand jury to indict. But when your ego is so big because you F'ed up the case from the start, the police won't take it in front of them. At this time. Also the guilt must be horrendous for the killers. One will crack, get caught doing something else and sing. Time is on our side.
