Delphi, IN Murders

[GrandePdre]

The story says they're looking for evidence that will either link him or exonerate him for the crimes.

Indy news just reported 10 minutes ago that police are searching this guys home right now.

Man, that would be something if they found evidence against him. It's certainly going to have a lot of focus put back on the case as the investigation drags on over a month into it.

 

[herodotus6]

Yeah, but if they don't find anything this case is getting ready to go cold.

 

[Bill Derington]

Yeah, but if they don't find anything this case is getting ready to go cold.

The authorities probably had him as the prime suspect from the get go, which is why he was arrested for something else in order to keep him from bolting.
They were also waiting for DNA results to return, now they have probable cause so now they are searching his farm.

Does anyone know if he showed his land to the news before the police released the photo and audio?

I don't know the timeline, but it was probably close. The news clip of him showing the land to the media was just a few days after the murders.

 

[NewHock15]

Seemed very strange that he was so willing to show his land.

When you have huge tracts of land it's only natural to flaunt them once in a while.

What exactly is that supposed to mean? Evidence that would "exonerate" him? How is that even possible?

They might not find anything, but that's not the same as actually finding something that "exonerates" him. Either they'll find incriminating evidence, or they won't. If they do, he's the guy. If they don't, they'll still be suspicious.

Those are the only two real possibilities. Implying that they're searching to prove this guy is innocent is just silly.

That's what the officers said to the media. Just repeating what was reported.

 

[GrandePdre]

^^ Hot, BTW.

Yeah, that wasn't directed at you. I figured you were just repeating what was actually reported. I just think it's dumb and somewhat misleading.

 

[GrandePdre]

Yeah, I agree. I wasn't sure what they could've meant by that, either. Half that community thinks he did it, now, I'd bet.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Any news?

 

[GrandePdre]

So, the property owner has been sentenced to serve the remainder of his time from a 2014 DUI conviction (3rd time) plus another year for a new charge for admitting he drove his truck (prohibited) to a trash dumping station the day of the murders. Essentially, his alibi got his probation revoked. Yeesh.

Small towns now have a drug element that's not been there like it is now. Oxycontin, meth, fentanyl/heroin, and pain pills are prevalent everywhere.

This is very true and very scary. As recent as about a year ago, in the small town I live in, a man in his 30's broke into a house where a woman and her 2 boys were in bed for the night. He wore nothing but a buttoned shirt and was trying to abduct one of the boys. He got her keys for her SUV and carried the boy out of the house which woke their mother up and she gave chase. He dropped the boy, got in the SUV and sped away, later to be caught after wrecking the SUV. He was drugged out according to the police and was not in his "right state of mind".

Glad to see this is back in the news. Has the land owner been cleared? If so, probably a drifter and will never be solved.

 

[Mossip]

Yep, if you ever want to get away with murder, just travel somewhere you have no ties to kill someone you have no ties to. This sicko will probably get away with it.

 

[Mossip]

From ..nail..'s link:

The sketch is "an artist's composite of the information" collected by all the agencies involved in the double-murder investigation, including the FBI, said Indiana State Police Sgt. Kim Riley. Riley said investigators consider the sketch a "very important" development in the ongoing investigation.

I'm always amazed on these crime shows how accurate these sketches end up being. Like how do they do that?

 

[screwduke1]

Surely the friend or family member probably hiding this person turns them in for the money alone.

250,000 is a lot of money to turn down.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

That's no excuse. Back in the 50's/60's when Smalltown, USA was basically Mayberry, that would fly. Those places don't exist anymore. I'm from a small town that the biggest crime you gotta worry about is the town drunk peeing in the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly, and there's no way in hell I would allow my child to do what those did.

We gotta parent of the year over here !

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Any chance the voice from this video is Peggy from the Rivals site when you call to cancel?

DNA can nail people still. They can tell a lot about him if they have any.

Guy looks like a creep.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Blame is accurate. I used the word I meant to use. Who is to say the killer does a thing if a parent is with them. The fact there would likely be a struggle and noise having to deal with an adult might be enough deterrent to make them think twice. So yes, failure to do the responsible thing as a parent warrants blame. Guilt is the consequence and by product of the action that should be blamed, or at least I hope. I have yet to see anything from the parents in all of this, for all I know, they could be grade A POS.

Just no...

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Was there was cell phone coverage where the attack took place, wasn't it a remote area?

As a parent, this is always a consideration whenever my kids travel and/or ask to go somewhere for this exact reason. Can they make contact in case of an emergency.

Well
The one girl posted on Instagram so I think they had at least some cell service

 

[FrankUnderwood]

OK, Sherlock, and who do you think populates small town America? It isn't a melting pot in Bumf***, Egypt. Most are settled by entire families that live in close contact with one another. Mayberry doesn't exist, Andy Griffith is dead.

You seem really angry in a lot of your posts. You ok man?

 

[GrandePdre]

New info on this case. Sounds promising.

Interesting. I hope they catch the SOB.

That being said how could investigators just "now" all of a sudden find Audio from the girls phone ? They've had to have it awhile and are just now releasing it ... at least I would think

I think they've always had it, but they're giving more details as they get closer to making an arrest.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Can you imagine if you're the dude that's in the video still/ clip "picture " but you have absolutely nothing to do with it ? Talk about wrong place at the wrong time ...

Looks like a big development could be breaking in the case. A sex offender that was living in Indiana, was arrested after being accused of threatening a bike riders with a hatchet in a Colorado trail. Reportedly he is now being looked at as a person of interest in the Delphi case after being arrested in Colorado driving a car with expired Indiana plates. The side by side of this sick SOB and the composite of the Delphi suspect are strikingly similar.

Here's hoping they fry the bastard if true.

The son of a bitch certainly looks the part. If the DNA matches, hopefully he meets his maker in a way similar to his victims.

 

[CUJO_1970]

That is incredible

 

[CUJO_1970]

Well, he is at least guilty of having a very punch-able looking face.

 

[Bill Derington]

How in the hell can a sketch artist draw a pic that close to resemblance with the video we saw? That is amazing

 

[mbKat]

We have a guy in Somerset Jail, Dwight Bell, that I think they should look at if they haven't. He killed a church lady that was trying to feed him and he stole her car and went to Indiana. He supposedly has contacts there.

I hope Dwight Bell burns in hell.
