So what do you guys think about the Oakland county child murders and the north fox island camps are related? I know frank Sheldon was the owner of the island and the pedo ring that happened there. But they have never been able to tie him the the actual Oakland county murders. What do you guys think?

Ps. I’d love to hear from anyone who is from that area of Michigan and how it affected that area and any personal info you could add. Thank you very much.

cold cases only!

Roughly two years I posted in this subreddit about the bizarre disappearance of the Romer couple. We have a new development. It appears their vehicle (and possible remains) have been found in a Brunswick, Georgia retention pond after vanishing from their Holiday Inn hotel room 44 years ago.

https://people.com/human-remains-found-in-georgia-pond-possibly-linked-to-couple-s-1980-disappearance-8751603

SYNOPSIS: An elderly couple, Charles and Catherine Romer vanished on April 8th, 1980 after checking into a Holiday Inn in Brunswick Georgia. They were traveling from their winter home in South Florida to their residence in Scarsdale NY. At around 5 pm, a Georgia highway patrol officer spotted their 1979 Lincoln Continental parked near a group of restaurants. The Lincoln and the couple were never seen again. On April 11th, hotel management contacted the police after the couple failed to check out. Their luggage, a bottle of scotch, and some financial documents were found in the room. An extensive search of the area concluded with no findings.

Does anybody have an explanation why Steurmann and his son were never tried to this day? Why is Marty not pushing for they to happen?

I’ve only finished the first episode so far, and I just can’t help but feel anger towards the family for not rly focusing on jonbenét but just themselves, again I haven’t finished it but I would also like to know others opinions on the case. I made up my mind a while ago that it was the family that did those awful things to that poor child and I don’t think it’ll ever change and I hope that one day somebody will come forward with the answers we have been needing for decades. Please PLEASE let me know what y’all think I’m seriously curious.

I know it's a long shot since I would assume investigators would have had to look at this...but so many things in her murder match up with the I-70 Killers MO

First of all, her murder occurred in the day time...just like the other I-70 victims. Next, her murder happened right next to the interstate.... except hers occurred right off of I-80...and not I-70 as the other victims.

He also stole very little...getting 150 dollars from the register...cigarettes and a soda and then left...to his vehicle...and then presumably hit the interstate. Which game him the moniker Soda Killer. Whereas we dont know what type of vehicle the I-70 killer drove, Soda Killer was driving a Pontiac Grand Am.

It occurred in 1997...which would put it after the original murders...but put its before Billy Brossmans murder in 2001.

Finally, it's heavily speculated that Soda Killer did not murder her for the money...and may have grabbed it just because it was there...or to throw the police off. But his real motive was he just wanted to kill. Detectives also stated they were convinced he was from out of town.

Which brings me back to the highway portion of the mystery. The I-70 killer obviously used I-70...but strangely enough...I-80 runs parallel to I-70...and you can actually get from one to the other passing through Denver.

The one thing going against this theory (for me anyways) is the gun type was different. Leah was killed by a 9mm...where the other I-70 victims were killed by a .22

I did make a map of all the canonical murders as well as the ones detectives are not sure of...like the 2 in Texas...as well as Billy Brossman in 2001...and I added Leahs in Nebraska so you could get a better visual. I also attached an image of the sketches of I-70 killer and the photo capture of Leahs killer.

Like I said, I'm sure they've looked at it...but it's just something I've been thinking of.

I am reviewing the case of Brenda Harden Peters who was found murdered in Mobile, Alabama in May of 1981. Brenda was a married mother of three who was stabbed multiple times. Her nude body was located off Todd Acres Road in Mobile. Her case remains unsolved.

A suspected serial murderer, Louis "Lovie" Riddle, was later arrested for her murder but was never charged due to conflicting evidence. He was released and ended up back in prison for other crimes, but was later released again and is not currently incarcerated.

If you have any information about this case, knew Brenda, or have information about Lovie Riddle, please visit murdercreekmedia.com/contact and let us know.

I have heard about the public helping solve cold cases/unsolved murders and I would really like to do this too. However, after some research I have only found base level information. I was wondering if there is a certain way you have to go about to get the proper case info or if you need any special permission. I saw somewhere that you have to make a FOIA request for the information(??), but apart from that I'm in the dark. if anyone has any knowledge about this kind of thing I would be very grateful

I knew her but not very well. I was 13 then. I'm 51 now. I grew up in Wichita, KS. Before we caught the btk, he was suspected of Shannon's murder. I've heard other causes too. I heard that they were involved in satanic worshipping and Shannon was sacrificed.

Oddly enough, I knew a girl that was one of Shannon's best friends. I recently found her on FB and I asked her about Shannon murder and see if she knew anymore than I did. I also sent her a news clipping picture. Before I send that picture, she was fully engaging back and forth with me. It took 10 mins before she messaged me back. She says that she had something medical happened (like loss of oxygen) and it cut out of lot of her memory. But she says she doesn't remember her and tells me, how sorry she is that I lost a friend... then later asked me if I just looked up that news article picture I had sent her or if I had it all this time.

It just felt very weird.

Also with technology nowadays it seems like it's harder to commit a "perfect crime" and not getting caught after plenty of years like serial killers

On September 2, 1974, serial killer Theodore “Ted” Bundy abducted a young female hitchhiker from I-84 on the outskirts of Boise.

During an hour-long confession tape with Idaho investigators before his execution in 1989, Bundy said the girl seemed to be a runaway, possibly making her way to Montana. He believed she was running away from the Boise area. Bundy described her as approximately 16-18 years of age, white, about 5’6”, with light brown hair. She was carrying a green backpack and wearing a simple beaded necklace with black and light-colored beads resembling spaghetti. He had possibly picked her up near the Eisenmann exit, in view of ranch-style houses.

Ted Bundy later murdered her and disposed of her body. Her remains have not yet been found, and we do not know her name. One challenge we face is the difference in technology and records retention from that era; it isn’t as simple as searching a specific date or timeframe for a missing persons case. We need your help.

If you remember someone who went missing around September 1974, or if anything in this description resonates with you, please contact us at 208-577-3102 or lmontague@adacounty.id.gov.

“I would love to know more about what you remember and what you have to say,” said ACSO Cold Case Investigator Tim Cooper. “I think this is one of those cases where we’re fifty years down the road, where the public is going to be a big part in solving this.”

In October 1992, Diana Vicari left her community college drama class and went out to a local bar and the parking lot of a concert at the Tucson Convention Center. She did not show up to work and her family became worried and reported her missing. A couple days later her severed arms were found in a dumpster and her car was found abandoned on the same block at a house connected to her drama teacher Robert Encila. That night there was also a party in that neighborhood. And nearby lived a registered sex offender Lemuel Prion.

Diana's body was never found. Prion was convicted of the murder and sent to death row but later had his conviction thrown out in 2003. There was no physical evidence connecting him to the crime. In addition, his defense team provided the name of an alternative suspect who was a coworker of Diana's.

Diana's sister Debbie Vicari died in 2009. But before she died Debbie wrote a tribute song to her sister and a statement in the video discription about the state of the investigation which I am copying and pasting here...

*I wrote this song for my sister Diana Vicari three months after her arms were found in a dumpster. This video is more intense. The Vicari name was already famous for a very bad reason. I had to take a break as life got too difficult. Murder's aftermath can bring great hardship. But I am becoming active in the victims rights groups and being an advocate again which is one reason for my becoming involved in the public arena again. There is a guy that is missing that is a huge suspect in my sister's murder dismemberment case. JOHN MAZURE. I am thinking that maybe.. just maybe.. if I can get THIS video out.. with the news article and his name JOHN MAZURE - maybe somebody will know where he is. Maybe somebody will know who murdered my sister. Maybe it was somebody else but people have been contacing me about HIM A lot lately. Her murder is unsolved. The internet can work miracles. I am praying youtube can help solve this cold case. Please help. It only takes ONE person to know. Please pass this around. Please. Another suspect was LEMUEL PRION. Diana was also dating her drama teacher. My Mom was searching for Diana at both his place and his fiancees' house. Consequently, the house where Diana's car was found was a house in escrow belonging to the fiancee's MOM. Pretty interesting eh??? Yeah a who done it if I ever saw one! Diana's purse was in her car like she was only there for a minute and only took her keys in. I always suspected him but the police said he passed a lie detector test. I am not convinced. It was the night of drama class she disappeared and they had an affair going. Yup a who done it! HIS name is Robert Encila. When I met him years later he never said he was sorry about Diana.. ONLY that he remembered the day was the anniversary becauae he was a murder suspect. I still suspect him because he never said anything kind about Diana to me her own sister. Others have mentioned the fiancee being a suspect. Good point. The DNA that is new COULD be male or female. We are still waiting as of September 6th. Welcome to my world. These, in my opinion, are the three (four) prime suspects. I put my money on Encila. Everybody else does John Mazure. The detective still believes it was Lemuel Prion but there is room for doubt. The cops convicted Prion and it was overturned and he is a KNOWN serial rapist possibly murderer out walking the streets.. OUR streets. Yes.. could be a who done it movie - sadly it is real life.

It's terribly painful to go through. For anyone going through a murder or anything similar. I am so sorry. My sister's murder is status unsolved. I FINALLY said what I have wanted to say FOR YEARS!! Now please help!!! Please??

In the next week I will be making a oersonal video and adding info. I will also find out about cold case or AMW. Time to get this my sister's case some coverage again. Thank you EVERYONE so much for your incredible support. It has meant and means so much. Debbie Vicari*

The most recent news coverage in this case was ten years ago, an interview with Diana's last surviving sister Angela.

It would be really nice to see this case get some news coverage. It really needs to be solved. Dismemberment would indicate whoever did this was a serial killer and could have killed others. By far one of the very worst murder cases in Tucson history.

"Lindsay Buziak," a young real estate agent from Canada. In February 2008, Lindsay was found dead in a house under construction in Saanich, British Columbia. She had been stabbed, and her body was discovered by a friend who was waiting for her to show the property.

The circumstances of her murder are disturbing. Lindsay had received a call from a potential client who wanted to view the property, but she had also expressed to her friends that she felt uneasy about the meeting, mentioning a strange atmosphere. Despite a thorough investigation by the police, no suspects have been arrested, and the case remains unsolved.

Lindsay Buziak has become a symbol of the need to solve her murder, and her family continues to push for the case to be reopened and for progress to be made. This case has also garnered media attention, but it remains largely unknown to the general public.

The Branson Perry case of Skidmore and my theory + information you can’t find online

the Branson Perry case

The disappearance of Branson Perry in April 2001 is a haunting case full of strange clues, dark suspicions, and eerie coincidences. Perry was last seen outside his home in Skidmore, Missouri, where he was apparently putting tools away in a shed. His grandmother, Jo Ann, stopped by his house days later and found it unlocked and empty. She knew something was wrong, and when she couldn’t reach him after repeated calls, she reached out to Branson’s mother, Rebecca. Rebecca confirmed that she hadn’t heard from him either. On April 17, with no sign of Branson, they filed a missing person report.

As the investigation unfolded, it became clear that Branson’s life had taken some complicated turns. He had reportedly been experimenting with marijuana and amphetamines and was carrying a bottle of Valium the day he disappeared. The police questioned people in his circle involved with drugs, but they all passed polygraph tests and claimed they hadn’t seen him recently. There were even rumors that Branson might have owed money to drug dealers, adding a potential motive for foul play. His father, Bob, thought that maybe Branson had hitchhiked to Kansas City to stay with friends, as his car wasn’t working at the time.

The case took a disturbing twist in 2003 when Jack Wayne Rogers, a minister and Boy Scout leader, was arrested on unrelated charges. Rogers, it turned out, had a violent and dark side. Online posts linked to him described a horrific incident where he picked up a blond hitchhiker, then raped, tortured, and killed him, later burying the body in a remote part of the Ozarks. Although Rogers denied knowing Branson, law enforcement found a turtle claw necklace in his possession—a necklace that closely resembled one Branson owned. Despite this disturbing link, Rogers continued to deny any involvement in Branson’s disappearance.

Branson Perry’s case remains unsolved, with only fragments of unsettling evidence. His family is still left with questions, and the town of Skidmore continues to be haunted by the mystery.

I happen to live near skidmore and can name two ex drug dealers of the town one named Kenny and the other David I believe he owed these two money was attempting to flee Kenny and David. Kenny or David maybe both could have known Jack Rogers and was hiring him or getting him to do their dirty work with Jack being as twisted as he is seen it as a win possibly doing it free or could have just been passing through and seen Perry attempting to hitchhike and did it alone the only reason I believe that Kenny and David reached out to rogers is because they are roughly 251.1 miles apart what are the chances the one day Perry tries to flee rogers is just so happening to be in Skidmore which also means since Perry was in Skidmore when rogers picked him up he had to have been the first person to find him on his hitchhiking journey

If you would like to see what I have backing this dm me I will send u some screenshots entailing this information

https://www.yahoo.com/news/19-old-disappeared-her-illinois-210926505.html

I'll copy the Wikipedia below. It tells the whole story with all of the details.

I just watched an episode of 48 Hours about this case. In 2008, Lindsay was a real estate agent who was murdered in a house she was {supposedly} showing to a couple.

The case is still unsolved. I want to know who do you think did it? Honestly despite lack of motive, I am suspicious of her parents.

30 year old Barbara Jean Lewis lived in Penn Hills, a suburb 20 minutes East of Pittsburgh, PA. On the morning of November 19, 1976 she left for work around 6:15am, but did not make it to the bus stop only several feet away from her home. Whether she was forced into a vehicle, or willingly accepted a ride from an acquaintance is unknown. When she did not show for her secretarial job at Rockwell International in downtown Pittsburgh, her coworkers became alarmed.

Around 9am, a maid showed up to begin work at the Blackridge Civic Association, only a mile from Barbara’s home, she made the grim discovery of her body in a trash bin outside. She was still warm to the touch. Her hands were tied with one of her stockings and the belt to her overcoat. She had been manually strangled. Despite her bra being in disarray and her panties inside out, there was no evidence of sexual assault. There were no defensive wounds or bruises, and her mouth and nose were packed with gauze, which was believed to have been done post mortem. Her overcoat, blouse and purse were missing. They were later found in the woods by a schoolboy a mile and a half from where her body was discovered. In a time before DNA or doorbell cameras, police set up a check point, but unfortunately nobody heard or witnessed anything.

Police hit a dead end and her case still remains unsolved. There was a series of strangulation murders of women and girls in the area in the late 70s. A few were solved, decades later to advances in DNA technology. Hopefully with even more advances in forensic science and genealogical DNA-which helped solved the case of The Golden State Killer, Joseph DeAngelo, Barbara’s case can be finally solved. She was laid to rest in Good Shepherd Cemetery in Monroeville, PA.

Barbara lived a 1/4 from me, and I drive past the site where her body was discovered everyday. As a Girl Scout, I had events there; and I remember my mother telling about the girl who was kidnapped and found there. I often think about whether her case has been solved or if there have been new developments when I drive by.

note that Doug's actual last name was Costello, articles got it wrong

if you don't know who Doug is you can visit my page, I have lots of information me and others on Reddit have gathered about the case :)

It wasn't Laura (Doug's girlfriend), at first I thought maybe she should be considered as a suspect but after talking with some people we realized how unrealistic that would be. If Laura wanted to kill Doug, she wouldn't have done it in the TGI Friday's. She would've done it at home where there was a very little risk of anyone seeing anything. She also loved Doug more than anything, and although in most cases you would say "well she still needs to be considered as it's usually someone close to the victim that does the crime" but Laura really, really loved him. And she still posts about him in her socials years later, that's not something a murderer would do. So it's very unlikely that she did it.

At first glance, it looks like it was obviously the 20 and 21 year olds who were causing trouble in the store in the previous months. After talking with a person on Reddit who lived in that area at the time and some of my friends about it, it's unlikely it was a disgruntled person or group that killed Doug. Unless someone had serious grudges and anger issues, it's unrealistic that they would meticulously plan a break-in and murder.

It could honestly be any of the other employees. Akeem Holland, the waiter that was working with Doug the night of the murder, claimed there were 4 employees still working when he left at 2:30 AM. Doug was found at 5:15 AM. It could've been Akeem, he could've lied about the employees still working, he could've committed the murder and went home. The thing is, a time of death was never specified by SPMD. No one ever said if Akeem was cleared as a suspect, nothing was said about anything. That's why there's so many speculations and opinions floating around, because that's all we have to go off of 😭.

It could've been one or more of the four employees Akeem was talking about. As it would be hard to gain access to a fully locked building, murder someone, and then leave without any DNA or CCTV footage of them being left, it could've been someone who had access to the building. They wouldn't even necessarily need a key if they were already in the building. I spoke with some people about this, and a really good point came up. What if an employee was caught by Doug trying to steal, and they freaked out and killed him? The blunt force head trauma would make sense, because if it wasn't planned the weapon would've been quickly chosen from the surrounding area. If it was a planned robbery, wouldn't they want to carry something more effective, such as a knife or a gun? It would've been nice to learn if any of the four employees were cleared as suspects by the SMPD, but again, it was never said.

As me and my parents were discussing this, my mom suggested something I haven't seen anyone else talk about. What if it was an ex of Laura's? It would make sense, seeing Laura being so happy with Doug, it's possible someone was spited by this and decided to get revenge. I will reach out to Laura soon and see if this could be an actual possibility.

And then of course there is what the San Mateo Police Department assumed the murder was, an attempted robbery gone wrong, but these are just the theories that I and people I've conversated w have come up with.

Background: 11 women’s remains found buried in 2009 in the desert in the West Mesa of Albuquerque , NM. Suspect believed to be part of a s*x trafficking ring.

One of the victims, Syllania Edwards was a runaway from a group home called Parker Pointe in Lawton, Oklahoma. If you look them up on google, there are a couple of testimonies saying the place is terrible and “scary”. It makes you wonder if they are involved in the ring as well… anybody else notice that?

A suspect in a 25-year-old homicide case on the Western Slope is now in custody.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation said in a release that 68-year-old Dan Bishop of Naturita was arrested for first-degree murder Thursday and booked into the Montrose County Detention Center in connection with the 1999 disappearance of 42-year-old Dale Williams.

CBI said it opened a new inquiry into Williams' disappearance in September 2023 with the help of the Montrose County Sheriff's Office after previous investigations into the cold case concluded without criminal charges.

At the time of Williams' disappearance, he owned an auto body shop in Nucla. An investigation revealed Williams and his wife helped Bishop's wife leave him and resettle in Texas, the release said.

The release said Williams was last seen on May 27, 1999, after he received a call to help a stranded motorist, possibly near Bedrock, northwest of Naturita near the Colorado-Utah line.

Williams's truck was found nearly six weeks later, on July 4, submerged in a river, according to the release. Investigators found a rifle in the bed of the truck with a spent shell casing in the chamber. Firearm purchase records show the .22 caliber rifle belonged to Bishop, the release said.

The release said based on the investigation, it's believed Bishop acted together with his now-deceased cousin to murder Williams. A warrant was issued for his arrest on Monday, and he was taken into custody on Thursday.

“There have been countless interviews and hundreds of hours of investigation poured into this case," Montrose County Sheriff Gene Lillard said in a statement. "It has taken an entire team effort of law enforcement, family and concerned citizens to bring the case to where it is at today. We are grateful for the in-depth investigation over the last 25 years by the Agents of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and Investigators and Deputies of the Montrose County Sheriff’s Office.”

Bishop is being held on a $1 million cash-only bond.

Caitlin Denison was last seen in the Odessa/Midland, Texas area in 2017. Caitlin boarded a flight from Reno, NV to Texas with an unknown male subject. Her family heard from her a few days after she went to Texas, but she was never heard from again.

In Monday (10/14/2024), the Texas Rangers finally released an image of the suspects vehicle and trailer. However, there is no license plate number affiliated with the vehicle. The vehicle allegedly had Nevada plates but was located in the Odessa/Midland, Texas area since the suspect probably worked at an oil field. The link to the image of the truck and trailer can be found in the below press release:

https://www.dps.texas.gov/news/dps-seeks-publics-help-2018-midland-co-disappearance-west-texas-region

Are you able to identify this vehicle? If so, can you report it to the Texas Rangers? They ask that all tips be reported online via the following link or to (800) 346-3243.

I wanted to make a post as I've notice there's not a single thread on this cold case from 1973 Dearborn, MI. Ruth Postif was a Dearborn High School senior in 1973, and went missing on October 18th, 1973, when she suddenly disappeared from a mall around 3:45PM. She was reported missing at 5:00PM when she failed to show up for her serving shift. Her car was found two days later in Superior Township in a rural area, and a few weeks later, her body was found 1/2 a mile away from where her car was abandoned. She was stabbed several times, and her body was found with her hands tied.

I know that Daniel Anders was initially accused of committing the murder as he had been found guilty of r*ping and assaulting other women. But as it says in his trial he was found not guilty and due to evidence, it was proved he at the very least did not leave any DNA at the scene if he was involved. Other than this lead it seems there hasn't been any further developments in her case, and I'm trying to see if anyone has any other information that's not already out there.

If you or anyone you know has information on this case, remember to reach out to the Michigan State Police, there's currently a podcast called "Cold Cases with Cassy" about Ruth's murder and it says to contact Sgt. Larry Rothman at the Michigan State Police.

note that Doug's real last name was Costello but when writing articles of his murder, it was misspelled

So Doug was my dad's friend, and I'm kinda young and I don't know where to start so Reddit ig.

My dad and Doug both had been living in rural Eastern Oregon until one day in 2006 when Doug packed a few things on his motorcycle and drove to San Mateo California. He went to go live with his friend Shawn Weemes. For a while he just stayed in San Mateo, working in manager position at a TGI Friday. Fast forward to January of 2008, Doug is closing the store. His girlfriend/fiance usually came in to visit, but that night he was working late and she didn't. He didn't come home that night, and in the morning Doug was found by a daytime manager dead on the store floor. At first the police department thought he had been shot, but it turned out that he had died of blunt force trauma. The even sadder part of this was that he was planning on marrying his girlfriend, they were planning on shopping for a promise ring, and she was pregnant with Doug's child (she unfortunately had a miscarriage after his death). That's what is making me want to solve this case so badly, he was such a sweet guy and he didn't deserve to die that way. Anyway, the San Mateo Police Department was very iffy on a lot of the details surrounding what happened. They never said where in the building he was found, they never said if there was surveillance in the building, and when a police spokesperson was asked if there were any possible suspects, they said "we are not currently in the position to rule out any person". They never said if there was any DNA evidence either, and they never said if a murder weapon was found. All they said was that it was a suspected attempted robbery gone wrong. All im saying is that if someone is dressed for a robbery and then kills someone, there's gonna be some sort of DNA evidence. Marji Fields, a person who frequented the store, said that over the past 6 months there had been some 20 and 21 year olds coming in and having altercations. Doug was a manager, which would mean he would have been the one to break up the fights. I think this was on purpose, and someone had a plan to kill Doug. Anyway, I don't know what to do and once I'm able to be in San Mateo i don't think the PD would be willing to help. I'll link some sources and articles if I can as well.

Hi so i got part of that wrong and now I have even more questions. The article I read states that "Waiter Akeem Holland said he worked the night shift at the restaurant Sunday and saw four employees still in the restaurant when he left at 2:30 a.m." when did the others go home because Doug was found at 5:00 AM?? That's a crazy small time frame.

I recommend reading the articles because they do a much better job explaining than I do

Also I will be posting this on multiple subreddits, upvotes, comments and questions help a lot with pushing this further into the Reddit algorithm and help Doug get the justice such a kind man like him deserves!

Georgetown, Ohio Recent Case

“Terror of Georgetown” An anonymous writer of cryptic letters throughout a small town. It’s really intrigued me and people have been scared in my town because of it. Somehow this person has gotten away with handwriting letters and putting them throughout town, at our Library and in Mailboxes. As of what I know personally, and what they have said, there are like 8-11 letters, 7-10 of them being in one night. But there could be more, I just don’t know and maybe they don’t either?

There are apparently no witnesses, no cctv, no cameras, no physical evidence (that the public knows of anyway), etc. And mind you, our Library is in the center of our town. 🤷‍♂️

“Terror of Georgetown” Cryptic Letters | Possible Serial Killer?

1 letter goes something like this:

“This is the 4th Letter. Hey, my Seige of this town has just started. This town is my domain. Bodies will fall but none shall be found. Terror struck thy town. Who am I? Ask yurselves whos missing? Die they shall.”

Another letter says something like this:

“The library is not in troble. But the town must (know?) my Name! The Terror of Georgetown! Blood will () the fairagrounds. Remember Oct 1! (Pendle?)! October 1979 Eyes. Fall 1979 (_ ? ___ ?) The fair is gonna be fun! Run!”

(I typed it the best I could to be as similar to the letters as possible. The periods, & exclamation points have dots that are a circle within a circle. Which each letter has a bigger version in the middle of them. Like his or her “signature”?)

This is all I know as of right now, or at least all I could think of as of now. I’ll update of any other letters or if I figure out what certain words say. I’ve gotten my info from the community in my town talking about it on the original Police Office posts on Facebook, as well as the 4 so far News Channels & articles.

Oh, and a lot of the actual letters and words are written in a mixture of cursive, print, and backwards letters. Most likely with non-dominate hand.

Anyone that might be able to help in the case would be cool, if not at least providing some insight. I think it’s a Halloween Prank but there’s a small part of me thinking it could be a Serial Killer.
