@randalthor6872 Agreed, Doug Carter is a total buffoon, who has no more idea who killed Abby and Libby today, than he did on day one. The killer left DNA at the crime scene, so the fact no one has been charged confirms loud and clear the murderer is still at large.
This 'Anthony Shots'/Kegan Kline sideshow is a total waste of time. The killer is clearly a middle aged man. And police have had no contact with him.
Libby gave police a golden piece of evidence, a video and audio of the killer, the best possible clue on a silver platter - and they still messed up! Law enforcement should have shared that fantastic video far and wide and in full with the media from the start, when people's memories of that day were fresh. But they hesitated, didn't put it out in full, and held back just about every other detail of the crime from the public - which was counterproductive to solving it! Contrary to what Doug Carter seems to believe, it's usually the public who ultimately solve crimes and identify killers, not police officers, no matter how smart!
The first two weeks after a murder are known as the golden period, when the perpetrator is most likely to be turned over to police by someone who suspects him. In those days when the murder date is still within memory, the killer's relative/work colleague, whoever can put two and two together and recognise the significance of something they said or did, or maybe a visual anomaly like a scratch on their face or dirty/torn clothing, that stands out.
But a month or two later, and they won't recall something so trivial anymore, or link the killer with the crime. Five years on, and this is very much a cold case, regardless of Supt Carter's bravado. That guy is as clueless today as he's ever been, and his replacement as the head of this investigation is long overdue. Two children deserve justice - and no female is safe while their killer remains at large.

This was a miscarriage of justice, no question.
If Jeffrey Dillingham got the death penalty by lethal injection (he was executed on November 1st 2000, aged 27), then his two accomplices in the brutal murder of 40-year-old Caren Koslow and attempted murder of her husband Jack Koslow in their home, should have been executed too. That's the couple's stepdaughter /adopted daughter Kristi Koslow, and her boyfriend Brian Dennis Salter.
Kristi Koslow masterminded this crime aged 17, along with the man she was sleeping with at the time, her then 19-year-old lover Salter - he brought his pal Dillingham on board, also 19, on the promise of a $1million fee. Apparently Salter lacked the balls to kill two unarmed, sleeping people in their beds, alone!
Salter was a coward before he committed this crime, and he remained a coward afterwards - as did his scumbag girlfriend Kristi Koslow, who started the whole, revolting sequence of events in motion. Without her, there would have been no crime committed, and Caren Koslow would not have been violently murdered by two young males, her life horrifically ended at just 40. Kristi's motive? She was angry her adoptive dad divorced her adoptive mom. Boo-hoo!
It's irrelevant that Kristi Koslow wasn't present at the crime scene, during these deparved, bloody murders. Kristi came up with the double-murder plan, she directed events, and she gave the two killers the security codes and floor plan to the home, to enable them to commit the crime. She very sensibly didn't physically take part, so she could convincingly play the innocent after her parents' deaths (though despite her intentions, her hated adoptive father miraculously survived). In many people's view, Kristi Koslow's sly cowardice makes her worse than the killers!
If you had to apportion blame for this heinous crime, the man who wound up executed for it was actually the least culpable!
In the view of any reasonable person, it's clear all three were at least equally to blame. So why did one, Dillingham, live with the shadow of his execution for years before being killed? The other two languish in prisons to this day, allowed to live and given taxpayer funded bed and board until they die of natural causes. WRONG!

He's a manipulative narcissist, like most domestic abusers and killers. Notice how he started off telling his son "It's good to see you". He's grooming the kid, hoping he can still exert influence on him and his testimony, as his father.
There's no doubt he murdered his wife and daughter that night in premeditated attacks. It's unlucky for him one child survived to tell the true story. O' Neal is claiming his girlfriend attacked the children, and he killed her in an impulsive revenge attack. It's the oldest story in the book for family annihilators like him! The jury won't buy it - you could see he was capable of the crime from the aggressive way he addressed them. The guy is crazy!
The child has been adopted by one of the detectives on the case, and he is finally living in a loving, stable family. Not surprisingly his father had a history of domestic abuse, and had fathered a baby with another woman.
It's wrong this 11 year old has been forced to have this direct communication with his father and would-be killer. Poor kid was only 8 years old when his dad tried to kill the whole family, and set fire to the house to destroy evidence. This little boy has spent the last 3 years physically and mentally healing from his father's knife attack on him (when police arrived, his intestines were hanging out), and the loss of his mother and sister. He witnessed him murder his 9 year old sister with repeated axe blows to her face, head and neck.
Having to speak with O'Neal again, even over Zoom, could badly traumatise this child, and set back his recovery. The law is an ass! Where is the consideration for victims of crime - and especially child victims?

@edwinacaparelli9911 Richard Allen looks exactly like 'Bridge Guy' (the killer Libby recorded stalking her and Abby), because he IS 'Bridge Guy'. He came forward to authorities within days of the crime in February 2017, and identified himself as such!
Allen said he was at the Monon High trails and bridge at the exact time of the murders, wearing the exact same clothes as the man on the smartphone footage. He was spooked at seeing a still of himself from that video on TV news, and decided to get in front of the police by claiming to be a witness, not a suspect. He knew several witnesses saw him there that day too. What's more, he was the ONLY man seen by witnesses. Allen effectively locked himself down as the killer, with his own words.
There's also the small matter of his multiple confessions. He did it, no question. But sadly the Keystone Cops under buffoon Supt Doug Carter ballsed up the investigation and failed to identify Allen for 5 YEARS through sheet incompetence. That appalling delay has inevitably weakened the prosecution case, and boosted all kinds of crazy conspiracy theories (including - laughably - that an obscure religious order/sacrificial cult was responsible, yada, yada).

Yes, I think sadly Kathy got in over her head with an abusive man whose violent crime would taint her reputation and eventually leave her so terrified of going to jail herself, that she could not go on. He may well have told her he killed Victoria, or actively involved her in the cover up. He comes across as a controlling narcissist who expects the women in his life to prop him up, and do his bidding. So I think it's entirely possible he told Kathy about the murder and sought her help, in lying to police etc.
Or she may simply have worked out for herself that he had murdered his wife. The circumstantial evidence - eg the timing of their affair before Victoria vanished, which was central to his motive - was probably as compelling to her, as it was to the jury.
Prokopovitch's poor wife Victoria is the victim here, murdered by the man who had made public wedding vows to love her 'in sickness and in health'. But it's hard to escape the feeling he also has his girlfriend Kathy's blood on his hands. Her daughter, who cried for her on the witness stand, obviously thought her relationship with Jim had indirectly caused her tragic death by suicide, while in police custody. It was a sad end for a woman who was by all accounts a gentle soul and homebody, who loved her menageries of pets.

@KH-dm9zm Great posts. Anyone with a modicum of common sense and critical thinking skills can deduce from their extreme behaviour Chris and Roberta Laundrie knew their son had killed Gabby. If he's told them a fiction about her, eg that she went off with another guy, they would have shared that with her family. And they would not have felt any need to hire a damn lawyer!
It's patently obvious the mommy's-boy drove home to mommy (in Gabby's van, stealing $1,000 of her money en route), and as soon as his peanut head was through the door, spilled the beans about killing her. He put the most positive spin he could on it of course, with a ton of victim-blaming, and his parents supported him - as he knew they would. It's clear they'd over indulged him, and cleared up his messes all his life, at 23 he was a man-child who'd never held down a job or lived independently of them!
The Laundries deserve nothing but contempt for their disgusting disrespect of Gabby and her family, a young woman who had shared their home for the last two years. It can't be proved, but it's pretty obvious they knew her body lay abandoned by their son to the elements, rotting and possibly being eaten by animals. Yet they zipped their mouths, and helped Brian escape on foot before whatever was left of her remains, was found by police.
As parents, and as human beings, they should have had enough basic decency to speak to Gabby's desperate family But it's blindingly obvious to all, why they did not. They were protecting their killer son, from the consequences of his sickening violence against a defenceless woman. They over protected him his whole life - that's how he grew into such a disappointing and dangerous man-child.
It's sickening he's cheated justice, and let his folks off the hook too by dispensing with a high profile murder trial and a lifetime of visits to a maximum security prison. Gabby deserves some small morsel of justice, even if it's only the Laundries being prosecuted for harbouring a fugitive and hiding evidence.

Glad @CourtTV discussed the brutal reality of Jorge Torres' prolonged and horrendous suffering, locked inside the suitcase as his oxygen ran out, while his girlfriend mocked his distress and repeatedly denied his desperate pleas to release him. This crime is right up there among the worst categories of sadistic, cruel and depraved murders.
I've followed this story for the last 4 years (and seen Sarah Boone's outrageous, entitled conduct in custody - which judging by her dramatic weight gain, sure didn't put her off her food). But until watching this report tonight, I wasn't aware the suitcase flipped over and moved some distance from its original position on the lounge floor, between the two Smartphone videos recorded by the defendant. I think Boone will have a very hard time explaining that away in court.
The flipping of the suitcase and it's progress around 2 feet across the room, could not have been achieved by Torres himself. It had to have been done deliberately by Sarah Boone, and it had to take a significant amount of effort on her part, to achieve. 4 years ago she was a slight woman, I'd guess around 30lbs lighter. She must have expended considerable effort, and I am guessing mostly used her legs/a combination of legs and upper body, to overturn that heavy suitcase containing an adult man.
Let's not forget she was drunk at the time too, as her slurred words on video confirm. Why, in her drunken, unsteady state, was it so important to her to turn that suitcase over? The answer is sadly obvious, and utterly chilling - she was getting pleasure from torturing Jorge Torres, and escalating his suffering inside the horrific, zippered tomb from which she knew he could not escape. She had him totally defenceless and at her mercy, and she planned to enjoy every minute.
The starkly different position of the suitcase between videos, proves that this murder involved prior, sadistic torture. It also supports the Prosecution case that it absolutely WAS murder, and not some 'unfortunate accident', as she claims. Her motive was obvious, to make her hated boyfriend suffer her deadly revenge, for his prior alleged sins against her of domestic violence and infidelity.
Jorge Torres' autopsy revealed multiple injuries, most notably a severe and heavily bleeding wound to his head, plus other bleeding cuts and abrasions, severe bruising, and black eyes. During her initial police questioning, Boone pleaded total ignorance of those injuries. Prosecutors concluded they occurred when she pushed him down the stairs, inside the suitcase. That was likely her first, serious assault on him, before filming the subsequent, infamous cellphone videos taunting him.
Boone denies pushing him down the stairs, claiming he got into the suitcase on the ground floor. But the fact she flipped the case with him inside it, as proven on the video images, again supports the prosecution case that he sustained his nasty injuries from a prior tumble down her stairs inside the case, which she did not film.
We will never know how or why Jorge Torres made the deadly mistake of climbing into that case. The evidence of torture captured on video suggests to me this was a premeditated crime, and that Sarah Boone slyly tricked him into the suitcase on some lighthearted pretext, with a very sinister, hidden agenda.
I believe he entered the case upstairs, not downstairs as she claims (suitcases are typically stored in bedrooms after all). Once he was zipped inside and she was satisfied he was trapped and helpless, she committed her first assault on him, pushing the case down the stairs, from the very top to the very bottom, with all her might. It was such a violent and forceful descent, a neighbour heard it and thought Boone was moving heavy furniture. That alone could have killed him, had he suffered a neck injury for example, banged his head, or had any kind of cardiac event on the way down.
Sarah Boone's blatant lack of remorse immediately after discovering her partner's body next day, and her ongoing lack of grief for his terrible suffering and death, confirm exactly how ruthless she is. Her number one concern, first, last and in the middle, is always herself. It was only too predictable she asked the officers in the interview room if she could get back the 'expensive' ring she'd given Jorge (at the time he was wearing it while lying lifeless on a slab at the morgue). When told no, she expressed anger that his family, who she hated, would get to keep it. This was not a grieving woman begging for an item of jewellery for sentimental value. It was all about the ring's monetary value. You got the distinct impression if she could have visited his lifeless corpse and yanked it from his cold, dead finger, she'd have done it in a heartbeat.
Boone really thought she could not only torture and kill her boyfriend, but film herself doing it, and walk away a free woman just by telling cops: "It was unintentional". Her arrogance and delusion are off the scale, and will be on full display at her imminent murder trial. She's so far removed from reality, I'd bet money she'll make the huge mistake of taking the stand, assuming she'll charm the jurors. It's gonna be a wild ride!
This is a woman who cynically uses the fact she's a mother, to present herself to detectives (and others), as a responsible, caring and decent human being. But she's fooling no one. She's shown scant concern for her only child since her arrest for this now infamous suitcase murder. The homicide aside, Boone is an alcoholic, domestic abuser and chronic narcissist. Frankly it's no mystery whatsoever that her son's father, won full custody of him. Thank God he did!
Jorge Torres' death was an unimaginable tragedy, which his children and other loved ones must live with for the rest of their lives. But if there's one silver lining to emerge from this vile crime, it's that Sarah Boone's innocent little boy will be forever spared her toxic presence in his life.
Jorge paid the ultimate price for his abusive relationship. But he was an adult, and he made a choice to be with Boone. Her son however, had no choice. I bet his life has much improved in the 4 years she's been held in custody. Poor kid likely receives a ton of mail from Mommie-Dearest the serial letter-writer, in that same, crazy oversized scrawl she harasses the judge with. But mail can be burned, trashed or returned to sender. An abusive parent can show-up on your doorstep any time, and ruin your day.
I think Sarah Boone's imminent Guilty verdict and Life sentence for murder will be a huge relief to her son and her ex-husband. They will be totally free of her, for the first time ever. I wish them both speedy healing, and all the very best for a brighter, Boone-free future.

Ladies - pay close attention to how a man treats you as you move out of the early honeymoon stage, and really get to know him. Financial meanness is a huge red flag you should not ignore!
Shanti was a beautiful, successful, intelligent and much-loved woman - she was highly eligible, for many reasons. But this parasite (as her first husband rightly called Tronnes), was primarily after her money only.
Shanti was a smart woman, but she was not wise to this creep's true intentions - he didn't love her. Sadly the smartest women can miss, or wilfully ignore many red flags in a man's behaviour, because they don't want to face the disappointing reality of who that man is. Far too often women think they can/should fix everything that's wrong in a toxic relationship, and take far too much responsibility for the fact it's failing.
After one year of marriage, she was living like a squatter in a house her husband had gutted and made uninhabitable. It didn't even have a working kitchen! What's more, Tronnes owned the house outright, and never added her name to the property as co-owner. If that wasn't bad enough, he never worked a single day throughout their union - and despite having persuaded her to marry him by falsely claiming to be a multi millionaire, she was the sole breadwinner.
Shanti began to notice every time groceries had to be paid for, or a restaurant bill arrived at the table, Tronnes took a step back, and it was always her credit card that came out. Why did she tolerate that? She even switched the beneficiary of her $350k life insurance policy from her beloved only son Jackson, to Tronnes - no doubt at his persuading. Total madness!
The relationship was so bad, they clearly weren't even having sex any more, living not just in separate beds, but in separate wings of the house. Police discovered Tronnes was a member of a same sex sauna/bath house, a fact his wife was unaware of. Poor Shanti must have been desperately lonely and unhappy with this man.
The trigger for the domestic murder is only too predictable - Tronnes knew Shanti would not tolerate the miserable life he had given her for much longer. On the day he brutally beat and strangled her to death, I suspect she told him of her intention to leave him. Divorce would have meant dividing their assets, but murder would get rid of the woman he'd never loved (narcissistic abusers care only for themselves), and get him a big pay-day.
Shanti made the fatal mistake of sleeping at the wheel, and clinging to an abusive relationship long past its expiration date. She's not the first woman to make that mistake and be killed because she stayed with her abuser too long, allowing him the access and opportunity to kill her - and sadly, she won't be the last.
I am so sick of hearing of domestic murders of fabulous women, by inadequate, toxic males. Please ladies, watch and learn from these tragedies, and don't let it happen to you. Pay close attention to how your partner treats you, and how the relationship makes you feel. Are you happy and secure, do you feel loved, valued and respected? Do you laugh together, talk together, enjoy simple shared pleasures like a walk in the park or a home cooked meal? Shanti was living with a lazy fantasist, who wouldn't share his one asset with her - the marital home - and expected her to fund his lifestyle. He didn't even provide a nice home for their married life - for the last 18 months of her life she was living in a building site.
If all that weren't bad enough, it appears the marriage was celibate, despite his lie to police that they had sex on the night before her murder. Forensics proved otherwise. Shanti was getting nothing out of that marriage but misery and expense - not even sex or affection. Don't make the same mistake girls - get out without delay, and never look back. Stay too long with such a man, and you may not live to tell the tale.

@EclecticG A huge and hugely sincere THANK YOU to YOU and every other wonderful, courageous and decent person who has written positively in response to my consistently honest, good faith online posts.
To be clear - I am grateful to every response under my original post here, supporting truth and integrity, in the face of appalling, cynical and self-serving LIES.
We, the honest and truthful witnesses, know most people, are good people, who oppose every fake, disingenuous, post you typically see here.
In closing, I must stress: Please value and share, the TRUTH. So many important, honest and profound outcomes depend on your courage and honesty. Go for it!
God bless you, my friend. XXX

Yes, easily - those girls were just 13 and 14, nothing in their young lives had prepared them for the terror they experienced that day, at the hands of a sex predator. It's a very common reaction to freeze with fear if confronted in such a way, and comply with everything the perpetrator orders you to do, in hopes that's the best way to stay alive. But it rarely is.
I feel we should teach our teens self defence and survival techniques for such situations as part of their school education. Girls in particular are raised to respect adults (especially men), never say 'no' to them, and to be 'nice' and compliant.
We should instead be telling our girls to do the opposite of everything a would-be attacker tells you to do, plus make as much noise and effort as possible to escape him. Scream "NO!" as loudly as possible to attract the attention of passers by, kick, bite and FIGHT if needs be. The crucial point is to resist going with the perpetrator to what the FBI calls; 'the second location'. Because the second location is the quiet location, away from other people and the hope of escape, where he plans to do his worst to you. The second location may be his car. In Abby and Libby's case it was 'Down the hill'.

You talk about Brian as if he's in the same category as Gabby - He is her murderer! She is the only victim here, along with her heartbroken family and friends, and they are the only people deserving of sympathy. I doubt anyone but his warped parents will mourn Brian the fiance-strangler.
Brian has taken the coward's way out, which is to be expected from a cowardly domestic abuser and killer. Gabby's loved ones have been cheated out of the closure they deserve from a full trial, and justice for their murdered child.
As far as Brian Laundrie's parents Chris and Roberta are concerned, his death is a little bit of karma - they will experience some of the pain her family have. However, they have the comfort of knowing their child died at his own hands and by his own choice - he was not terrorised and brutally murdered by someone he loved, trusted, and planned to spend his whole life with! Gabby's death by strangulation at his hands, was infinitely crueller and totally unjustifiable.
The Laundries should now be prosecuted in Brian's place for withholding evidence, aiding and abetting a fugitive and every other offence that can possibly be thrown at them. They are scum. Maybe now they might have a little empathy for the suffering they put Gabby's parents through, in barring their doors and windows and refusing to answer their pleas for information. But I doubt it, those two care about no one but themselves - and in their killer son they spawned an evil sociopath in their own image. Good riddance to Brian Laundrie - the only good domestic killer is a dead one!
