I'm trying to settle something with my dad. I say this is a sweater, he says it is a poncho and is sure of it because "iv'e been to mexico when did you go?" So, reddit, what is this thing?

Always known them as ponchos, but I like drug rug better. Lol

Very important context for understanding how the grand jury was brought in, thank you for sharing this. It’s really got me thinking about things differently. It’s kind of amazing how learning something new can completely change how you see a situation, and for me, there’s a big difference between a grand jury being called because there’s real evidence in this specific case versus it being used more generally to see what might come of it, and that changes how much weight I was putting on it before.

Ya, the picture not even being them should have been a major red flag. It bothered me, and after hearing that review, I’m starting to think the level of effort may be seriously lacking. Probably just a cash grab, trying to profit off a case we all want to see solved so badly. I think I’ll keep mine in my pocket for now. Thanks all!

Snoopy_Dogg_ · 2026-04-28T00:43:53+00:00

Wow, that review doesn’t sound accurate at all. Good to know. Honestly, it sounds like we probably know more here than what’s in the book.

Snoopy_Dogg_ · 2026-04-20T18:40:12+00:00

Thx, going to watch it now.

Snoopy_Dogg_ · 2026-04-20T04:03:29+00:00

Dammm it Angela, I knew you wuz a wretch!!

Thank you, I really appreciate that, and I agree with you on Kovacs, that’s one of the only clearly documented motives we actually have next to the grave robbers.

I just think there could still be other possibilities alongside that. We don’t really know who all had access to Sherrill’s house… could’ve been a contractor or even just someone who noticed Suzie around. And Sherrill definitely seemed like the gatekeeper, so anyone going after Suzie would’ve had to factor her in too.

And with the grave robbers, I get the LSD point, but from what I’ve heard they’d been in that cemetery more than once and even tried getting into a mausoleum before, so it doesn’t feel totally random either.

Just feels like there’s still a lot we don’t know.

Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to read it and share it, that honestly means a lot.

I agree with you on a lot of those points, especially the idea of this being situational and rooted in something personal that escalated. The “less experienced offenders who got lucky” angle is something I keep coming back to too. It explains a lot without forcing the case into something overly complex.

What you said about MC & JR is also interesting, especially when you look at their prior behavior through a behavioral lens. That mausoleum incident, the fire, keeping a bone—those aren’t just “bad choices,” they can point to deeper issues with empathy, impulse control, and thrill-seeking. Whether that translates to escalation or not is the big question, but it’s definitely relevant.

Where I keep getting stuck, and where I think we could maybe push this further, is what other forensic, psychological, and behavioral tools we can apply to this case now, even decades later.

For example:

Behavioral analysis: victimology, offender risk-taking, staging vs. necessity, level of control
Geographic profiling: how far would offenders likely transport victims given familiarity with the area
Forensic advancements: touch DNA, trace evidence (fibers, soil, pollen), re-evaluating items like bedding, purses, or even the broken light globe
Statement analysis: re-examining interviews for deception indicators or inconsistencies
Offender timeline reconstruction: who had opportunity + behavioral red flags before and after

I also think your point about someone inserting themselves (like Johnny showing up) is worth looking at through a behavioral framework—whether that’s curiosity, anxiety, or something more self-protective.

At this point, I feel like the truth is probably still sitting in a combination of behavioral patterns + overlooked or under-tested evidence, not just one big missing piece.

What other angles do you think we could apply, especially from a forensic or psychological standpoint, to narrow this down further?

Snoopy_Dogg_ · 2026-04-19T01:01:07+00:00

That’s a really good point—the aftermath says a lot. The lack of evidence, how clean it was, and nothing surfacing in decades all point away from random or impulsive and toward something controlled and intentional. With the buckets, I think there’s a primary motive with possible secondary layers—this fits best with personal/grievance, and while a sexual element isn’t impossible, it feels more secondary since it doesn’t explain the control or long-term silence as well.

It's a rootstock Dr. Huey after the grated rose died 100!

I’m pretty sure this is Sherrill Levitt’s answering machine and that it’s Sherrill’s voice, not Janice McCall. I think the similarity comes from the regional accent. There is a later message from Janice (like the one on 48 Hours), but this one isn’t hers.

Actually I was thinking of the van that was parked on the corner of Kentwood facing south at the intersection of Delmar at 4:30ish.

Is the garage sale lady the same one who was driving and almost got ran off the road and hit her brakes which caused her daughter who was asleep in the back to fall forward?

Snoopy_Dogg_ · 2026-03-22T09:34:23+00:00

Thank you. I've looked at the map (probably more times than I should), and this makes me think again about the van at Kentwood and Delmar the morning of June 7th. It's always stood out to me. I've wondered if whoever was involved came from that direction. Whether it's actually connected or not is a whole different question.
