MOD NOTE:

There has been a major cleanup on this thread tonight due to numerous TOS violations. Here are the RULES we all agreed to upon joining this site.

We have a thread dedicated to KAK HERE. If you have an update specific to any of his current charges, pending charges or news, it is to be posted on that thread. For example, dismissals, court appearances, etc.

This is an example of an article and subject matter that may be brought up for discussion on this thread. This pertains to KAK and Abby’s and Libby’s cases. Although sources such as this are approved, you personally have the right to decide how much credibility you give to them. Nevertheless, they remain approved sources here on Websleuths.

Regardless of what is posted in ANY approved source, RA’s family (to include photos) are completely off limits as of this post. They are victims. PERIOD.

If you’re going to reference or discuss a topic (even if it’s been brought up before), a link to an approved source must be provided. Otherwise, don’t mention it.

Decisions made by officials may not sit well with us, but they’re most often made for a reason.

And lastly, STAY ON TOPIC. Please and THANK YOU!

ADMIN NOTE:

Gray Hughes has obtained Richard Allen’s voice from social media that we would not normally approve, so here’s how we are going to handle this. This is really a Gray area (yeah, I said that )

Obviously as RA is the accused, his voice is of great interest to all, and we would not be relevant in the true crime community if we disallowed it when it is so highly relevant.

After discussion with Tricia, the decision is that we will allow members to fully discuss the voice as heard on Gray’s podcast.

We will NOT allow direct linking to the wife’s social media accounts.

ADMIN NOTE:

Websleuths is basically pro-LE. The general LE bashing in this thread has to stop or permanent thread bans or TOs will be issued.

With respect to the witness who saw a man in all black versus a man in light blue jeans and a navy jacket, I don't think the real issue is around whether or not she accurately saw the color of the jacket. If I were on the defense, I would want to know if the man in all black was actually a second man in the area of the bridge around the time of the murders.

And where and when was the man who inspired sketch #2 seen? I am very concerned that the witnesses' accounts are skewed by the video and photos from Libby's phone. The wording of the PCA leads me to believe that the witnesses had seen the video before describing BG, and that's an issue if it's accurate. I am hoping that is a function of how the PCA was put together and not a reflection of the facts.

The three girls saw the same man at one time. One thought he was wearing black the other two remembered he wore blue. MOO her memory is from a glance on the dark part of the trail.

 

[Detective Willy]

I wonder if relatives of RA were aware that he admitted being on the trail at the same time as the girls?

IMO they must not have been aware, otherwise you should or would have highly suspected him of being BG once you saw the video!

If he was a regular at the trails, you would imagine that he would wear similar clothing in similar temperatures.

I am also wondering how many tips came in from people who believed that RA was BG from the thousands of tips that came in?

Surely LE would have connected the dots earlier if people called in a tip that they thought RA was BG after he admitted being there?

I would want to know at what point their recollection became certain that the person seen was RA? I hope the 2 sketches don't come back to bite them. Unless they have DNA evidence, AND it's tied to RA with a search warrant secured with actual probable cause, I think the state may be in trouble here.

The color discrepancies are evidence that they weren't letting the BG photo guide their descriptions of the man they saw on the trail, if they had seen those pictures. (At least one of them had. She said they appear to show the man she saw. That does not discount her testimony, IMHO. No more suspect than a witness picking a man out of a lineup.)

Can someone tell me if the FBI came up with the height estimate? TIA

It's suspect because there was no lineup. It was a six pack of 1 person. MOO

RA confirmed he is the man the three girls saw.

Will someone please be so kind as to explain to me why/how Disney was involved in the beginning?
I didn’t follow the case until 2019 and I cannot remember the reason(s) why.

@Forpsy Your question from the previous thread Re: the phone(s)

According to more than one family interview, Abby did not have a phone. She had access to other devices including a Kindle that was her own. But supposedly at the bridge that day only Libby had a cell phone.
