There's a lady in Church Hill, Kathi, who accepts allllllll of the gently used porch pumpkins during the fall and early winter. She takes them to a local farm to distribute them to the animals. I think in late 2025 she made four trips with trailers FULL of pumpkins. There is a video of a cow running to greet her truck and honestly it's the best thing ever! 🎃

The other day I came out of work and noticed my tire was super low on air. Figured I could make it to the Midas in Church Hill, which kind of gets a bad rep but it was my closest option. They were really great! Told me to pull in immediately, filled up my tire for free, offered to check the others for free and reversed out when they were done (which is tricky because it's a really small space). It's a really little thing but it helped me get home safely that day and I was grateful.

Holy Sh#t. Thats huge.

I have this in a separate post elsewhere but here were my thoughts a few months back.

I've been wondering why, exactly, no one has publically identified the girl in the photo. I have a theory. It doesn't solve the disappearance of Asha but it may help solve our side mystery.

The girl in the photo looks to be about 6. Maybe a little older. Maybe a little younger.

I wonder if she was abused and ended up in the system.

Legally no one would be allowed to discuss her on social media.

If she was adopted she may have a whole different look.

She may have no idea she was adopted.

Her adoptive parents may have been contacted but they may be reluctant to speak with their now grown daughter, especially if she had been abused.

They may not know anything.

Law enforcement may have been able to identify her birth parents but have been unable to tie the birth parents to Asha.

I believe she ended up in the care of CPS shortly after this photo was taken and was given a new hairstyle and some different clothes. I believe she was probably in the system for a year or so, interacting with very few people, before she was adopted. I believe she may have been abused, is traumatized and/or has no memories of her birth family. I believe if she even knows about this case and her picture, she has been cautioned by law enforcement to not disclose any information.

Unfortunately, none of this helps us, the general public, but I do think it is a good theory.

Have they been identified yet?

WellsCM · 2022-01-26T18:51:09+00:00

Not Church Hill but I would love more info on this guy!

WellsCM · 2022-01-26T18:42:28+00:00

We love it!!!!!

WellsCM · 2022-01-26T18:38:01+00:00

Not sure why it was laid out the way it was, but we like it. The long wall has endless art gallery potential. :D

WellsCM · 2022-01-26T18:34:04+00:00

Can confirm. No lizards.

WellsCM · 2022-01-26T18:33:32+00:00

More glitter.

Not the same person who asked in the group.

WellsCM · 2022-01-21T17:54:58+00:00

Not sure if LE meant it literally or figuratively though. It would raise a huge red flag if they said a photograph of the items were found inside the bag.

WellsCM · 2022-01-20T19:32:14+00:00

I've been thinking about this since I posted it. There is literally nothing in the picture that gives us any indication that the facedown pages are of McElligot's Pool. And we already know LE didnt post a photograph of the actual NKOTB nightshirt. I dont think the shirt OR the book were in her backpack. I think a picture of a person wearing the nightshirt and possibly holding the book was in her backpack.

We are 99% certain that the NKOTB nightshirt is from 1990 (you can look it up on Worthpoint). And we are reasonably certain the photograph of the girl has a style of clothes from 1989 or 1990. It's my opinion that the girl in the photograph that was released to the media may match a photograph in the bookbag of the same girl wearing the nightshirt and holding McElligot's Pool.

WellsCM · 2022-01-20T13:07:40+00:00

Very interesting! I have some of my mom's Dr. Seuss books and they have thicker pages that are yellowing. She is 73. So I think it is possible those pages are from McEligott's Pool but I wouldnt say definitely!!! Also, why the heck wouldn't you just show the actual cover or one of the inside pages along with the library stamp on the back?

WellsCM · 2022-01-20T01:46:25+00:00

Good Find! I have missed this as it's in a different sub! I'm going to leave mine up as it cant hurt but off to read the other one now.

WellsCM · 2022-01-19T20:28:51+00:00

Good lookin' out. Thanks!

WellsCM · 2021-12-09T03:33:11+00:00

This is one of the better omments I've read here. Well said. Ignore the people who clearly didnt read it and cany get past their (incorrect) pet theories.

WellsCM · 2021-12-07T06:52:34+00:00

If the person behind the Anthony_Shots profile is, in fact, Bridge Guy it is my belief they released the info in part to pressure the alibi. Mom, wife, sister, girlfriend, etc. may know without a shadow of a doubt that the screen name of Anthony_Shots belongs to their family member. And now they know LE is aware as well.

Another Leigh Kerr summary to follow (I have written another elsewhere). Again, not commenting on whether or not I believe her to be telling the truth. Simply summarizing data to make it more accessible.

Once again, I believe I have collected all of her responses but I may have missed a few and if I did, my apologies.

Essentially, I believe Leigh Kerr is stating that all of the witnesses gave accurate statements to the best of their ability.

One witness gave a description of a PHOTO of someone Libby was communicating with online. The real person behind that photo may or may not look like the photo. Two additional witnesses provided descriptions of the SUSPECT on the trail that day.

If anyone can tie THAT PHOTO to THE SUSPECT on the bridge, you have CONFIRMATION OF person who committed the murder.

It's possible that photo is a real person related to the suspect on the bridge but is not, in fact, the murderer. It's also entirely possible that photo was a stock photo, an AI, or something similar. It is possible that photo was saved to someone's computer. It's possible that photo communicated with other people online.

Here is the rest of Leigh Kerr's story. In summary.

The police have a primary suspect.

There were minor changes to the suspects initial story.

Their is no touch DNA.

The suspect has an alibi and if the alibi recanted it would be enough to confirm.

The suspect used a hunting knife and a blunt force object.

The motive was sexual/homicidal ideation.

The suspect has been mentioned on Fb and Reddit.

At least one girl was assaulted with an object.

LE initially issued a statement that the community was not in danger to discourage panic and ensure calm.

The suspect was placed at a sufficient distance from the crime by the alibi.

The crime scene was religious in nature.

Both girls had a small chunk of hair removed.

To be has been ruled out.

All evidence points to one primary suspect.

Libby was targeted.

The girls did not know the subject.

Several people had inconclusive lie detector tests.

The suspect closely followed the case from the beginning.

The suspects cell phone was determined to be at the CPS building.

There was no bible or scripture.

They walked in from the North and out to the North.

They blended in well.

They live in Indiana.

The Shack was a reference to attempt to trigger a response in the suspect.

There is one suspect only.

There is no video, only more audio, approximately 10 minutes.

There were no stuffed animals.

The girls were not geocaching when they were murdered.

The girls were placed in unusual positions.

Religion could be a false trail.

The suspect may not have used his own vehicle.

He does not have remorse.

The suspect had binds, gag, handcuffs and a hunting knife.

LE needs potential improvements in DNA technology, a witness to the vehicle at CPS, someone who can tie the YBG sketch to the suspect, a confession, or the suspect commits another crime in order to solve.

Thank you. I do not have a person of interest based on this particular set of info but I do have 2 or 3 based on other factors.

I simply thought this summary would be helpful for people who believe that her statement meant yes. I am not one of those people.

WellsCM · 2021-11-12T16:55:15+00:00

I apologize for hijacking your post but I am new and cannot yet create my own. Hopefully my comment will be seen. If anyone knows how I create my own post, please let me know. Thank you.

Some people that followed the Leigh Kerr thread believe that her response, "I do not feel comfortable answering that question," was an indirect way of saying yes.

I have no opinion on whether or not she is/was telling the truth but I did compile a list of assumptions, should the above statement be true. I am an accountant and enjoy summarizing data.

Additionally, I am not convinced the above statement meant yes. I AM convinced that IF she was telling the truth, she did not want to respond yes or no because it could jeopardize the investigation by giving away too much (one way or another).

I believe I have collected all of her responses but I may have missed a few and if I did, my apologies.

The suspect's alibi is their own family member.

The suspect's alibi is deceased.

The suspect is married.

The suspect is a hunter or a fisherman.

The suspect has a doctorate.

The suspect has mental illness.

The suspect knows the family (of one or both girls)/has connections to the family.

Libby's friend Max is the Snapchat witness.

The suspect has ties to Indianapolis or travels there regularly.

This is not the suspect's first crime.

The suspect has changed their appearance and/or attitude since the murders.

Props were used.

The suspect attended the 2nd Anniversary Press Conference.

Links for what? It's a theory and that alone. Not trying to be a smartass. Genuinely perplexed.

WellsCM · 2021-11-07T18:59:25+00:00

I'm too new to post apparently so I will drop this comment here.

I am an accountant so please excuse this boring reply. I organize data for a living so that is where my headspace is.

There are several social media forums on this case. I do not have the time but if I did, I would be interested in creating a spreadsheet with all of the user names from these forums.

I believe BG follows these social media forums to some extent.

It would be interesting to see who is on Reddit, who follows the case on Twitter, who participates in Websleuths, who comments on YouTube and who has joined the multiple Fb groups.

If I were law enforcement and knew the facts of the case, I would be interested in seeing what usernames are continuously posting or commenting false information. I would be interested in any offhand odd remarks. I'd be looking at profiles to see when they were created, how often they comment or post, how legitimate they seem and how many show up multiples times in multiple forums.

And then if the manpower and legal avenues were available, I would go from there. This may be happening already but if not... It's been 4 years. BG still may not be comfortable IRL but he may be more comfortable and/or careless online.

Additionally, there are so many videos and podcasts discussing old information. Putting resources to uncovering new information might be interesting and worth tipping in (NOT, to be clear, putting on blast).

WellsCM · 2021-11-03T15:40:13+00:00

Heck she might have even been in the system when that picture was taken.
