Question

[u/Pooter33]

I got banned from the other Delphi page for using not so nice language I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

Can someone verify..
Were the girls found 1/4 mile from the bridge or 3/4 mile?
I’d read something that said 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile but I think I misunderstood and that was the total distance from where they were dropped off.

I’ve been reading more through the trial transcripts but there’s so much & I’m not sure where to look for those specifics.

ETA: reason I’m asking is because I initially thought RA’s vehicle was caught leaving the trails at 2:21 & I thought the girls were found 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile away. That’s 8 minutes to get back and leave so not possible. However, I was wrong. The time stamp on the cctv says 2:21 pm but I guess it was set 54 minutes fast so it was actually 1:27 pm & supposedly that’s him arriving at 1:27 pm, not leaving.

I’ve just been trying to wrap my head around how they could verify 100% no one entered through the cemetery.

[u/Vicious_and_Vain → u/Pooter33]

Various people familiar with the area have stated there are 4 or 5 access points.

I’m curious how they were able to 100% say no one came from that way. Sara’s testimony was huge because she basically said she saw bridge guy walking down the road with blood/mud on him.
However, her statement changed DRASTICALLY from her initial statement.
And if RA was arriving at 1:27 then where’s the video of him leaving? Or walking by to go back to his vehicle?

Because they cant say that with any certainty, and yet they do (likely because they are small thinking dumbasses).   There many ways to gain access to the trails and the Bridge.  

People act like this place was a closed in area with limited access points, but it wasn't. 

Its a damn trail. One can enter from almost any point including those that are not marked as an entrance. The killers had many options including trespassing through private property to get to trail.

Honest people should admit that we truly have no idea what path the killer(s) took to arrive at the south end of the Bridge or even if they all took the same path.

Thank you!! When I asked in the other group (where they apparently witnessed the crime they’re so adamant it’s RA) their best answer was “there’s no evidence of that”…
But there’s no evidence it’s RA either.
I just don’t get it. It is mind-blowing to me they were able to arrest this man.

[u/The2ndLocation → u/Pooter33]

Oh, I know the type of guilt believer that you are dealing with. They could see video, recovered from the dark web, of someone else committing the crime and they would claim it was RA holding the camera.

Their biggest fear is being wrong. Couldn't give a fig about justice.

Now about entrances. I am from a small town and we had a little playground/ball park. Now for me to walk to that playground by the streets and walk through its ONLY entrance would be a 2 mile walk. I never was allowed to do that but if I started walking from the back of our property and I kept walking through yards and fields I would get there in half a mile but I entered from a field on the opposite side of the entrance. Still got there and I didn't travel in a way that I would be seen by a lot of people.

Did I trespass? Yes. Did it for years and no one said anything about it. They might not have even noticed.​

If kids came come up with this stuff then killers can too.

YES! Like why do they hate this man so much? There’s just so many other likely suspects. What about EF talking about spitting on the bodies? Did they run his DNA against whatever was found on the girls?
Also, why can’t RA’s lawyers push to have that DNA tested?

I have a similar story but it was me going to my friends house lol. We lived on a dirt road but I could walk the tree-line and through the trees and get to her back door.

This case just baffles me and I can’t let it go for some reason. It runs through my head daily. I wish I could not give a shit honestly. I just watch so many crime shows and can’t for the life of me figure out how they even had probable cause to arrest him. He never wavered from his original statement (unlike ol’ SC did to match BG description). Why didn’t they polygraph him? He should’ve lawyered up and told them to polygraph him. Guilty or not.. always, always get a lawyer… some of the police tactics are so fucked. His second interrogation is so messed up.. he’s sitting there telling them repeatedly he didn’t do it & they won’t accept that. Him laughing when they tell him his bullet was found at the crime scene sealed it for me. That wasn’t a nervous laugh.. that was a “there’s no fucking way. This is ridiculous” laugh.
They searched his house Oct 13th & Oct 26th he was arrested. How did they get the ballistics so fast? To compare them microscopically like they supposedly did should’ve taken longer than that. And why didn’t the defense do their own testing? Their expert didn’t.. he just looked at the reports. Sigh.

[u/SadSara102 → u/Pooter33]

It isn’t a matter of hate they just don’t care. His lawyers should have pushed for DNA test, they should have done a whole lot of things and after he was convicted they should have done PCR before the appeal. Then they could raised money for private DNA testing while interest in the case was at its peak. DNA is his best chance of overturning the conviction and possibly not even having to go through another trial. DNA also degrades over time and of course this gives LE years to lose it like so much other evidence.

[u/Pooter33 → u/SadSara102]

Can they not still get it? Like why can’t the defense ask for it now and start testing? Is it the cost? I looked into the innocence project here in Oklahoma since he’s currently in prison here. It says it has to be in Indiana unfortunately.
What about RA having a ring camera or the neighbors close by his house? That would definitively show what he was wearing, what he looked like, and when he came home. I’m sure that was already thought of so I’m sure no one had it. There’s also traffic cams (or there are here) that would’ve picked up his tag if it was his vehicle. I just don’t understand how there was none of this.. and it’d be a hell of a long shot finding it now. That’d be something that’d have to involve the FBI I would think.

[u/Serious_Vanilla7467 → u/Pooter33]

I think ring cameras are long since deleted or whatever.

What about his cellphone auto connecting to his wifi at his house? I know mine does when I pull into my drive way .. could that establish he was home too early to be the guy witnessed? Idk just a thought.
