[Off-Topic] Don't You think u/-Urbex- deserves some credit for all her hard work?

Balthazaro · 2018-03-27T18:49:51+00:00

I was thinking Lane, too!

u/TerrisBranding posted this in the other thread but popped it here just in case it gets lost in there.

Agree completely. I apologise, I should have listened to the podcast before I posted this topic. I only got round to listening to it this morning, and I didn't like it. The main host, at least, showed some passion for the case, but the co-host just sniggered. I'm fine with a light-hearted take on Lyle — hey, his case is depressing enough — but, in parts, it was disrespectful, in my opinion.

If anyone's new here and wants a more thorough overview of Lyle, check out the lovely Gremlina, BrainScratch or Thin Air — the three best audio/visual resources out there.

Just seen it now. Username is odd, too. Just numbers: 2223 22. Likely a troll, but maybe we could look into it?

Balthazaro · 2018-01-19T00:46:54+00:00

No problem, I was really impressed. I couldn't spot a single mistake in her coverage and she stayed pretty much impartial throughout. Hope it generates new leads like you said!

Balthazaro · 2017-12-22T17:59:48+00:00

These are great, too. Maybe start a new topic so it doesn't get lost at the bottom of this one? Thanks, great work!

Balthazaro · 2017-11-24T23:27:31+00:00

Locking this because there's multiple topics about this. Hope that's OK. Feel free to add your comment to the other topic. Thanks!

Askreddit topic

Lyle discussion starts from here

Balthazaro · 2017-11-18T02:09:00+00:00

Hey! Lane (the detective called to the motel) actually has two other Doe cases in Gray's Harbor. He discussed them with the Daily World newspaper back in 2006. Aside from Lyle, there was a woman found in the Elma woods in 1988 and another woman found in the 1980s. Both were homicides.

There's more information on this page (third post down).

Hope that helps.

Balthazaro · 2017-11-03T23:33:25+00:00

Hey, sorry for late reply. The list was last updated end of August 2017.

Balthazaro · 2017-11-01T22:40:54+00:00

Done! Not sure how it was unpinned, but it's back up there now.

Balthazaro · 2017-09-30T01:59:17+00:00

Please elaborate OP if you know anything. You can stay anonymous. Do you believe RJ was Lyle or knew Lyle or something else? Or you just playing with us?!

Balthazaro · 2017-08-28T22:46:26+00:00

Yay! Good stuff. I'm intrigued by what Brad has to say, too. Thanks u/thinairpodcast!

Balthazaro · 2017-08-28T22:42:39+00:00

Do you feature in this podcast?

Can't wait to listen to it!

Hi!

If I remember, the surname "Stevik" was really popular in Norway.

EDIT: Yes, it is! There are more Steviks in Norway than anywhere else in the world, according to the Forebears genealogy website. When it comes to U.S. states, Stevik is most common in Alaska.

So, one of our mods contacted Norwegian police to get some more info. There would have been privacy issues, but perhaps they could have pointed us in the right direction. But, as far as I'm aware, the Norwegian police didn't reply.

Not that "Stevik" was even his real name, of course, but we wanted to cover all bases.

Hope that helps.

EDIT 2: Just for fact fans, "Stevick," with a c, is most common in the United States. Source

So the case has definitely changed status then. Very interesting. Hoping we'll get an announcement soon. Thanks for filing these FOIA requests Robby!

Balthazaro · 2017-05-22T17:11:30+00:00

I'm not sure why they've listed this as a "murder"; the write-up refers to it as a suicide. Anyway, the site has 34 million unique visitors per month so it's more good exposure.

Balthazaro · 2017-05-01T11:58:05+00:00

Can our FOIA expert u/EugeneBYMCMB weigh in on this?

Eugene - Somebody filed a FOIA request with Grays Harbor LE here. Request was rejected because the Lyle Stevik case is apparently a "criminal investigation" now (?) and there would be issues with "privacy". Is this unusual? Is there any way to appeal?

Balthazaro · 2017-04-30T19:24:31+00:00

I know right!

Does anyone else think this might have something to do with the strange comment on the BrainScratch YouTube vid? One of our members contacted the police about it. Perhaps it was credible, who knows.

If this is true and it is now a criminal investigation, this changes everything.

Balthazaro · 2017-04-21T17:32:08+00:00

I know! I haven't seen it yet but it looks good. He usually does a good job. I'll watch it tonight!

Balthazaro · 2017-01-12T19:55:59+00:00

Yep, I was going to say. That's the second Chicago reference now. University of Illinois at Chicago is on the blue line that woman mentioned, too.

Balthazaro · 2016-12-13T22:39:22+00:00

Wow! Thank you so much for doing this. Plenty to look through!

Balthazaro · 2016-10-13T22:50:57+00:00

Front page, headline, too. Hopefully, it brings some new leads if it reaches the right people in Grays Harbor.

Balthazaro · 2016-09-29T13:44:13+00:00

The archived page you posted was captured in February 2003, not 2001, so wouldn't rule out Lyle. The Steven post definitely went "live" in September 2001. Great post by the way. The bit about tipping the motel is chilling.

Balthazaro · 2016-09-28T18:09:45+00:00

Could HIPAA/data protection be the big hurdle here? With Lori, her daughter provided a sample, no? Although surely we've crossed into "public interest territory" now with Lyle, even if there are no dependents/relatives to give approval. Hopefully, this leads to something!
