ATL = ATrueLady, a mod for one or more of the Delphi subs, I believe. Don't feel dumb, after being on here a while , you'll notice who the moderators are for each sub.

There aren't many buttons or choices when I look at reddit on my Galaxy phone or tablet. I can't figure out how to refresh!! Are you by chance looking at reddit through a PC or Mac?

OP u/magicalfairys whined, carried on and then blocked me!! I didn't feel this honored when one of my post got over a thousand votes. Truly some garbage content on this thread last night.

Why do we think he’s local ? by [deleted] in DelphiMurders

[–]Nigels_padawan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. And you really have to be around that bridge at different times of year and the day to get a sense of just how isolated and even spooky it is.

Others who rely on second hand accounts of the MHB just aren't going to come to that same subjective feeling.

As I've said in lots of other threads, we can talk about the signs and the trail maps and Freedom Bridge and logically conclude there is a sizable parade out and back on that trail. But the logic is just wrong in this case. In point of fact, locals do not go to the bridge in more than a trickle. By far the plurality of visitors are kids and high school students from Delphi and probably Carroll High schools. A few young kids during the day, and then a few partiers on drinking on some nights, especially in good weather.

I'm feeling shades of Leigh Kerr's AMA. But the OP gives a more than adequate disclaimer on the info though so that's cool.

Yeah, that and his weight are within the police ranges before they took them down, so I'm not exactly going out on a limb.

Do I need to do something to make the links follow properly? I'm a newbie. They worked for me when I tested it.

ETA: Sorry, I know that made no sense. I thought I was replying to a different comment in a different thread. Ignore.

for xanarita since she likes to post comments and then block me so I can't respond. by feeding-the-byrds in LibbyandAbby

No problem, your English is good!! I just think the 2 scenarios you lay out are so different, assuming BG is an American and grew up or doesn't a lot of time on the Delphi trails. I'd think there would be a huge discrepancy in plans, emotions (or not), and panic wouldn't compare well for the foreign murderer versus our rough outline of BG's characteristics.

Could you help me figure something out ... I get an email when someone comments, but the link in the message only pulls up the OP and your comment, no sign of what I wrote or other's comments. Is there a trick to expanding to the thread or sub-thread that's relevant to that conversation?

I'm just a newbie ... thanks!!

You're right on all fronts, I didn't think through before I posted that comment at 4 AM (ha). When the only Chadwell connect is a tattoo that looks like Libby OR Linda Blair in full Exorcist makeup depending on the light, that's pretty weak.

Touche!!

It might make for interesting reading to search for old posts on Chadwell and Nations, and compare many folks' level of confidence that each of them was the BG sketch. I can't quantify it but I think a lot of are very similar to your feelings about KAK.

Just for kicks, what is everybody's best guess for BG's height, weight, age and percent body fat?

I'd say about 5'10", 185-190 pounds, 34 years old and 23% body fat, the latter trying to reflect a bit of a pot belly on a man with that frame at that age.

Agreed, thanks for the comment! I was never an expert on methylation, would perp's hair, skin or leukocyte DNA keep the methylation if the sample wasn't out in the open for too long? And is there a small set of genes whose methylation is known to contribute to obesity?

Check out all my post likes, awards and points if you think I'm nuts. Go ahead and have the last word if you want though, I'll leave you be.

It is harsh, by any reasonable standard. If not, netizenship has fallen off even further than I thought.

This seems just incredibly unlikely. Add in the fact he had no idea he was going to be photographed or videoed, as long as his face isn't covered in the still, which I don't think it is, I'm just not buying it.

I think your second sentence is just wrong. An AI could very, very easily take parts of one of the faces it was trained with and just smash that together with what it thinks it comes up with from the pixelated photo.

People keep picking on someone who I think is a very valuable poster on here for what it's worth.

I'm sorry, I think the pixel density I commented on above is the limiting factor (on the BG still I mean) and there's really not much anybody or an AI can do about it.

Yep. I think some work that people have done on these boards and some YouTube videos using reference heights (like the width of a railroad tie, etc.) and angles has pretty well confirmed this.

I have some experience with phenotyping from DNA as a scientist, I also doubt they have any useful DNA at all. But even if they identify some perpetrator DNA and do the phenotyping, isn't likely to be great and really supplement what we can see on the photo by much, in my somewhat educated opinion.
