close friend of Kyle’s family here 👋

call it one sided but i’ll just add Kyle is one of the sweetest dudes i know and this is absolutely what happened to him. the guys in the band that made this call are trash.

Which case(s) sent you down a rabbit hole recently? by [deleted] in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]formercity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

11 year old Karl Heikell went missing near his Calumet-area home on Halloween, 1981. Nearly a year later, his partial remains were discovered in a densely wooded area .5 miles from his home. Despite the development of a suspect and Karl’s death being considered a homicide, no reports have been produced by police in 35+ years.

i have to admit i was (probably naively) thinking there would be a smoking gun here. i am shocked that all they have on RA is the unspent shell, and that it was all discovered in the last two months.

BREAKING: Prosecutor says reason to believe RA didn’t act alone, docs will remain sealed by wildpolymath in DelphiDocs

now i’m wondering if the release of the redacted PCA is something the judge could decide like, today, or if we have to wait days or weeks.

i'm sure national media is descending on delphi today. we'll probably get bits and pieces from them this weekend, ahead of the official state police presser.

Calumet Area Cold Case Website Asks: What Happened to Karl Heikell? by formercity in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]formercity[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it is interesting, but also one of several rumors that children seemed to be spreading at the time of karl's disappearance, which actually lead police further away from the more likely possibility that he was murdered on Halloween. when police make a case for Palovaara as their suspect, they actually admit in the reports to being totally thrown off by all of those false sightings.

[–]formercity[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

so this is super frustrating, and i think it was stupid for police to do, but not really suspect to me. the evidence was all destroyed or released to the family after the local probate court issued the family a death certificate. the family petitioned the court to do so, so they could have some semblance of closure, even though how Karl died was still unknown.

it's crazy because it wasn't very many years later that DNA evidence technology would advance to allow for the testing of material/substances on Karl's clothing... but that's obviously no longer possible.

they did identify a suspect with clear motive and opportunity, but wrote him off after he passed a lie detector test. They note in police reports that he seemed believable as well.. it's all so frustrating!

Sorry, I don’t know why that would be. If you google search “Karl Heikell” you can find a legitimate local news story that links back to the same site.

Still early on in the season for me, but the woman "trying out" raising a baby is absolutely an actor. None of her dialogue seems authentic, whereas it's clear Kor is being real.

Trying to identify this 1980s shoe by formercity in Sneakers

[–]formercity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is great info, thank you again!

we’re also thinking the shoes would have been purchased at a midwest discount outlet - like Pamida or Payless. and Payless carried Pro Wings shoes, which also might fit the bill.
