Theories - Ranked in Order
Thank you all for the interesting discussions the past few days. I think the anniversary of this terrible crime has many of us thinking, and several people brought up points I had never considered before. It's a testament to how confusing this case remains.
I've said it several times, and I'll repeat it. Anything is possible with regard to this case. I wouldn't be surprised to find out the perpetrator was someone completely off the radar; that is, if we ever get any resolution at all.
With all that said, here is my ranking of current theories of who was responsible from most likely to least.
- One or more of the grave robbers, plus an additional, unknown perpetrator (s).
- Associate of grave robbers, with no direct involvement of the three grave robbers.
- Relative/Friend/lover/associate of Sherrill's, who had a beef with her for some reason.
- Relative/Friend/boyfriend/associate of Susie
- Stalker of Susie and/or Sherrill
- Relative/Stalker/boyfriend/former boyfriend of Stacy
- Someone, or someones, from the graduation parties, arising from a recent altercation
- Contractor/worker related to the recent move into the Delmar residence
- Neighborhood peeping Tom
- Someone unknown living in the neighborhood
- Random perpetrator, possible serial killer, perhaps spotted them on the way home
- High school friend group
