We were wrong

Well, it happens. Our pick for the curtain maker has been eliminated by the BVPD. This doesn’t mean that someone from within this family didn’t make the curtain, it just means the exact name we gave was vetted out. We want to thank the BVPD for their work in following up on our information. They moved quick once we put the facts in their hands. It’s all we could ask for.

We have always said we can turn on a dime in a different direction if we had to, so we will. We are not ashamed of our excitement turning into nothing. We are not ashamed for trying as hard as we did on that individual. We still feel the curtain maker is within that same group of POI’s, it’s just not the person we thought.

Here was the timeline and why we were so excited about it.

We received a tip stating a woman’s name back in 2021. We went to work on it. We quickly discovered very interesting connections. We dug deeper and started building out family trees, we went to Kentucky for documents. After all this, we discovered this person was family to both the child apprentice’s family and the 1989 owner of the farm Amy was found on and also related to the Runkle family through marriage. Her family remains a focal point for us. We also have a few more decent candidates for being the curtain maker that we are now working on.

In an email received today Det Elish stated this person was not the maker of the curtain. Like I said though, it doesn’t rule out her family. Just her. I’d personally like to thank Det Elish for giving us that information so we can focus our energy elsewhere. We hope this is a sign of the times for the BVPD. Releasing who’s been eliminated will only help the case.

We learn, sometimes we’ll be right and sometimes we will be wrong. We do not apologize for trying with this lead even though it is a disappointment for us, we will lace up our boots tighter, learn from the data we collected and keep at it. No matter what.

This is a humble but proud team, we are not afraid to be wrong and not afraid to be excited when we think we are right or onto something. We share small amounts of our information here on this blog to increase case interest and receive additional tips. We want people to know that there are still people out there fighting for what is right. We have done this with great sacrifice to our own lives on our own accord. lost relationships, time with our own families, spent thousands of our own dollars. We have been attacked time and again, both online and through email, followed in cars, shot at. We will not back down. So, with all this being said, tomorrow is a new day and we will attack it just like we do every other day. This will continue until everyone knows who killed Amy and Amy finally receives justice. This is our promise.
