We will be relaunching this blog with some big updates. Since our YouTube features videos which must be read by the viewer and having little time to make those videos, the blog makes sense once again. Since there has been no public updates and little buzz about Amy’s case in the media, now is a good time. We will not let this case go quiet again. You will definitely want to be here to hear what we’ve discovered. It is time. Again, we are not bloggers, we are not true crime aficionados, we are not writing books, we are not a podcast. We are investigators and Amy Mihaljevic is the reason we exist. We do not benefit from this monetarily, we do not gain notoriety for doing this. Previous blog entries will remain here for reference. Some of the past entries are no longer valid, some are still relevant. See you soon.

*THIS POST IS NO LONGER RELEVANT*

This post is left up just to illustrate the many angles we’ve investigated. Our current position on the vehicle is behind a business on the Baskin Robbins side of the plaza and we suspect there is a complicit business that assisted the abductor by allowing the abductor and Amy to pass through to the back alley area

Here we are, 3 months into 2020, the goal of never seeing a 30 year anniversary without answers has come and gone. Originally I thought of 30 years as the end date for our mission as at that point, after logging tens of thousands of man hours, we would have turned over every stone twice and would simply run out of things to look into. Well, in the spirit of my family member who refused to quit and a 10yr old life stolen, we are pressing forward. Recently we started to really think outside the box. I sent a small group of team members to map out and photograph the entire Bay Square shopping plaza. For sake of privacy we will be using google images for illustration here. We said from the start we will investigate Amy’s case as the crime itself started. We have begun the process of moving off of Lindford Dr and onto crime scene number two. We do consider Amy’s address as crime scene number one if we give weight to the factuality of the received phone calls and also if we found anything that would make us believe that her direct area near her home was significant to the beginning of this crime. We have some incredible information on that but will not publicly share it just yet as it could jeopardize the investigation. Moving forward we set our sights on Bay Square. I’d like to preface this entry by saying we are not implicating any one individual or business with the thoughts hereafter. We start on known facts and build outward. It needs to be known that things discovered previously led us to look at certain areas of Bay Square. We start with this quote from Chief Spaetzel.

” Amy was last seen with the unknown male walking towards the parking lot”

With Amy at the plaza, waiting for her abductor, is the abductor sitting in a vehicle? Is he inside a business in the plaza? What might be his thought process as he waited for that defining moment to go and confront Amy? We entered Bay Square with the intention of becoming the coward in the planning stages of this crime. Where would we park our vehicle? What connections might he have inside the plaza working at a business? How would he leave the plaza? Many theories already exist about where the getaway vehicle could be parked. From Burns Automotive to behind the bowling alley but one location at the plaza really made a lot of sense, beyond the rest to our team. Our team is unanimous in the idea that the abductor unlikely parked his vehicle in the main portion of the parking lot. It would make the most sense to have the getaway vehicle hidden as it would be way too risky to show his face and the vehicle. This could also be why not one soul, saw Amy get into a vehicle and be escorted away. So we began slowly moving through Bay Square. We drive in the main lot and around the back of all structures. We also kept in mind how the plaza has changed over the years. We created a checklist of places where a vehicle could be hidden and debated each one based on pros and cons of each hiding space. We had a few objectives. Those were as follows.

1. Limited visibility from the main roads and people at the plaza.

2. How to exit the plaza without being spotted.

3. What business doors led to areas of privacy to park a vehicle.

4. How to avoid police.

One area was behind the bowling alley. Then we started thinking, well, the abductor is unlikely to walk Amy from the area of Baskin Robbins past all the shops and people to enter the Bowling Alley, only to pass through it to exit the Bowling Alley at the rear exit.

Next, we considered Avellones Pharmacy which is now Walgreens. This location would require going through the stockroom to get to a vehicle at the back of the building. This was also unlikely as it is extremely unlikely anyone goes through employee only doors with an abducted child.

Next was the crevice between Burns Auto and the end of the Bay Square building off of Wolf Rd. Based on James Renners writings of Patricia Draegar waving to Amy through the window of Sunkissed Tanning owned by Martin Sabo, we had this immediate thought. Yes, Amy could’ve wandered down there which we will guess as less than 30ft. But if she was with the abductor, wouldn’t Patricia have noticed she was walking with a man? Wouldn’t parking the getaway vehicle in that crevice be too risky? We think so. Too high of visibility.

Then we drove to the other side of Bay Square. We considered all we previously investigated. We considered what Chief Spaetzel said about Amy last seen walking towards the parking lot and a theory began to make a lot of sense. What if the abductor was friends or family with an adjacent business? What if the abductor watched across the parking lot from inside a business? What if the reason Amy seemingly waited for this guy was because he was watching and picking the best moment of opportunity based on foot and car traffic? When it cleared to his liking he exits the front of the business, walks across the parking lot, brings her back the way he came and passes through the business to a vehicle waiting in back? We will just leave it as that for now but as we mentioned, there is a reason we went looking into this specific area. Before we show the pictures, we want all readers to know we are not naming or implying any individual or business. We would also like to mention the dark colored van that called Amy over towards it briefly as she was walking to Baskin Robbins. We believe this van gave Amy instructions on what to do and who she was waiting on when she arrived at the preset location. Sadly, we do believe the occupants of this van were known to Amy. Psychologically, this might also explains why the abductor calls out “Amy!?” as he approaches her. At this point the vehicle to take Amy is already in place. Perhaps a second vehicle is in place in another area of the lot. We strongly suspect seriously foul play here. We believe a coordinated effort took place to manipulate Amy. Perhaps the employee of this shop is friends with the abductor and is shady or a criminal themselves, the possibilities are endless. Lets quickly discuss the two vehicle theory. The van that speaks with Amy tells her a man will bring her over to the vehicle waiting around back so no one sees and spoils the surprise. While the abductor is in the process of walking over to Amy, the van parks at this location. Then the occupant(s) known to Amy, exit the vehicle and proceed to a secondary vehicle waiting empty in the parking lot. The man might say, here’s our ride. Amy enters only to find that the people she knew are gone and the man drives away with her in the back. The people that were in the van then drive the secondary vehicle away. The other option is the van that spoke to Amy simply gave her instructions and who the guy was she was waiting for. This unknown male would have his vehicle waiting in the same location as the first scenario in the back of this business. Now this is a theory but the following pictures will show why this area lends itself best to this crime. We also need to mention that the business shown here may not be involved at all as the abductor could simply walk around the building to get to the vehicle. We like the idea of a business being involved for a few reasons but most importantly would be the 3:30 phone call to Margaret. Psychologically, it would make the most sense to let Amy make that call while she was still local to the plaza to keep Amy calm. Without further adieu lets take a look at some photos.

Here is the location we are starting to believe was where the getaway vehicle was parked. With little effort the vehicle cannot be seen from Wolf Rd or the interior portion of the plaza. If they knew the business or not this is easy to get to from anywhere in Bay Square. Risky if no business was involved but if no one walked out back while the vehicle was there, its clear sailing for the coward.

Here we see the accessibility and shielding from public view.

Now we identify two means of egress, the vehicle can exit here onto Wolf Rd or go straight through the Heinen’s lot to Dover Center

There is a reason we looked here. Everything investigated to this point by us tells a sinister story. We don’t believe Amy agreed to this without knowing at least part of the people involved. I will update this posting with more pictures illustrating why this location makes sense soon. Again, we arent finger pointing but at the same time we didn’t get here by accident. Think freely for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

Dr. Ed Green has discovered how to extract nuclear DNA from hair without a root follicle. This is not something that has to be waited for. We first heard of this DNA technique a few months ago and Dr. Green’s work is already being labeled as the ” Forensic Gamechanger”. We have said time and again that we do not care how this gets solved. Whether it is old fashioned detective work, DNA or both. We know it has seemed quiet on the Amy case as of late but this is the calm before the storm, we can assure you. The team continues to pound out long days and we are getting closer by the week. As the 30th anniversary approaches we said we would go all out with public disclosure but that was before this new DNA information became factual. With this technique we ask for more patience as our information could aid in the process. BVPD has stated many times that they are waiting for science to catch up as another test would destroy the samples. Dr Green has now successfully pulled nuclear DNA from hair and bone fragments. The waiting game is over. This really is the day everyone who cares about Amy has been waiting for. With that in mind, we will be holding onto our latest information just in case it is needed after BVPD gets the results from Dr Green’s team. Yes, we are assuming they will submit. If they don’t, there is going to be massive public backlash. We believe they will, perhaps they already have. Now you know what we meant when we said that the perps cannot outrun their own shadows. The shadows are their DNA. In the meantime we push fwd and even stepped it up a couple notches. Yes we would love to get it done before the DNA does, but this, is one time that we won’t mind finishing second. We want to publicly acknowledge Dr Green’s dedication and hard work. I also want to thank this team for staying by my side through it all. The answers are coming soon. We will be doing another live chat session soon so make sure you follow our Twitter @realamyarmy  for the date and time. 

In this entry we will discuss Auto carpet and why it is important in relation to the fibers found on Amy’s clothing. It has been said by Chief Spaetzel that the nutmeg colored fibers were traced back to a GM vehicle from the years of 1976 to 1978. I assigned a small group within our team to do some field work on the subject. This group spoke with carpet mills, auto restoration experts and the automakers themselves. Together we then analyzed the evidence photo of the fibers found on Amy. The goal was to form an independent opinion as to the origin of those fibers. In order to do this we must first get a good working knowledge of how automotive carpet is made, who was making it and what differentiates auto carpet made for GM vs Ford vs Dodge/Chrysler and others. In the early to mid 70’s auto makers had switched exclusively to two types of carpet. those two types are known as cut-pile and essex. Here are those two by their definition.

ESSEX (PLUSH) CARPET. Essex is a plush upgrade to cut pile and can be used in almost any model vehicle.Essex is composed of 100% Nylon yarn. Tufted to a 1/10 gauge cut pile, Essex contains 22.5 ounces of yarn per square yard giving it a luxurious and plush look and feel.

To appreciate the differences between the different materials of carpets offered, we need to understand how carpets are constructed.

By nature of the manufacturing process, all carpet is either Cut Pile or Loop carpet. The manufacturing of carpet involves sewing strands of yarn into a backing material. Left alone, this creates a Loop-style carpet. When these loops are cut, we have a Cut pile style of carpet.

What this all means: All Essex carpet is cut pile but not all cut pile is Essex. Essex carpet would most likely be be reserved for the more flagship models as it is thicker, more plush, better to the touch and also more expensive. Standard cut pile would be used on the mid priced to lower end vehicles.

Here are some examples of late 70’s vehicles that would have OEM Essex carpet.

Cadillac: Deville, Eldorado.

Buick: Riviera, Regency, Regal

Oldsmobile: Delta 88, Toronado

Pontiac. Grand LeMans, Bonneville

Dodge/Chrysler: Cordoba, Imperial, New Yorker

Ford/Lincoln/Mercury: Thunderbird, Continental, Marquis

Chevrolet: Conversion vans, Campers, Corvette

Now some examples of automobiles using standard cut pile carpeting

Chevrolet: Malibu, K pickup trucks, Chevy Van, Chevette

Pontiac: Grand Am, Firebird, Sunbird

Buick: Skylark, Century

Chrysler/Dodge: LeBaron, Aspen, Vans, Pickup Trucks

Ford: Pinto, Mustang, Econoline Vans, Pickup trucks

---

Now that we have some basic rough knowledge of the two types of carpet and their uses, let us delve into the mills a bit. Staying in the mind frame that we have only a handful of these auto carpet manufacturers, we must entertain that these mills were not used exclusively within the different automakers. Lets say for example, Mill 1 has received a large order for beige carpet from Buick. At the same time Ford is in need as well for a large order. Do we believe for one second that Ford would not use another mill to fulfill their demands? Nope, they will use whatever means is necessary to keep the assembly lines supplied with what they need. So if this means using mill number one or two, it makes no difference to them as long as they can get what they need in the time frames they need it by and that the carpet is the same from mill to mill. So with this in mind we start to see the uniformity necessary within the mills themselves. Do you think Mill 2 who is slow on orders from Pontiac is not equipped to handle and make carpet for other auto makers? Not a chance.

Uniformity

Now that we see that there are in fact very few carpet mills, let us now imagine just how few companies are actually making the machines to make this carpet. If you have only a handful a carpet makers making auto carpet, what is the demand for the machines to make it? These are fairly large and expensive machines. The answer is not too many. So what does this all mean? It means in order for these mills to stay in business they are equipped to produce carpet for any of the automakers and this requires uniformity. Buick can’t have a difference in carpet in half of their Regal models. The cars coming off the assembly line need to be uniform with each other. Just Imagine buying a car and saying, I like the white one but the red one has nicer carpet. It is highly unlikely. So to wrap up our findings based on common sense and some research with highly knowledged auto experts we must come to the conclusion that very few different machines made these carpets and that the mills ran carpet for multiple automakers at the same time with the only real difference in the carpet itself is in the color dying process. Now, much can be ascertained by the color of the carpet. The same beige is not likely to be installed in a Pinto as a Continental so different dyes are used to create different visual effects in the interiors of these cars. For example, a higher end vehicle may have more red hues in the beige to create a more rich appearance than a lower end vehicle.

Enter the Carpet sample found on Amy. what does it tell us. What information can we gather from this single photograph. Well, it tells us a lot actually.

When the BVPD talks of these fibers, they seem to insinuate that they are working with only a few fibers when in fact this is not a few fibers. This is a good clump of carpet. This also tells us a lot about the carpet itself. During our research with the experts in auto restoration and the mills themselves we have established a profile of the sample itself. Here is that profile based on all factors and understanding the durability and weathering of the carpet as well as other environmental factors and the typical life expectancy of the carpet itself before it begins to break down and deteriorate.

1. The clump: In order for the carpet to come apart as a clump, this carpet must be heavily deteriorated in the backing material. Staying with the idea that the carpet made in the 70’s is not as durable as it is today and had a typical life expectancy of 8 to 12 years, we find this sample to be consistent with FBI analogy of the sample and it is from a vehicle from the years 1976-1978, give or take a year on either side.

2. The sample is weathered AND/OR was pulled off the carpet by mechanical force such as clawing at the carpet. The sample appears to be interior carpet and not trunk carpet. If you look at the photo you will see the molded backing material. this backing material is uneven and torn.

3. The color of the clump: Coloring from the dye process is well preserved and not heavily faded from UV rays. This suggests that the sample is from an area low in the vehicle and shaded from the Sun’s UV rays.

4. The type of carpet in the clump: If this is Essex it is highly worn from a high traffic area of the carpet but that is not consistent with the coloring of the sample. The evidence suggests that this is cut-pile carpet from a more shaded, less foot traffic area of the vehicle.

5. The degradation of the sample. You might ask yourself that if this sample is from a lower traffic area of the vehicle then how is it degraded enough to tear as shown? The answer is weathering and moisture and/or mechanical force. The sample suggests it is from a vehicle that is in an environment consistent with weather change, high humidity and has undergone many processes of hot/cold. The sample is not heavily UV damaged, it is from a more shaded area that is degraded from weathering and subject to radical temperature and humidity changes.

The conclusion: This sample can be from any of the automakers. The clump is suggestive to being pulled from a flat area. The backing material being torn is also indicitive of being pulled from a flat area. This lower traffic cut-pile carpet, shielded from UV rays, subjected to repeated sequences of varying temperates and humidity levels is from a 4 season region. Based on side by side color comparisons this sample is most alike to a Ford or Chevrolet. When all things are factored in this sample is from the back of a van that was shaded but likely not garaged.

We continue to ask the public to let us know about any suspicious vans in the Bay Village area in the early fall of 1989.

We are grateful that the officials allowed this to be put in front of the general public for the ID Discovery special Who Killed Amy Mihaljevic. Up and till the time of the program there was limited knowledge in the public about the existence of this recording which states verbatim “My name is Amy Mihaljevic and I’m in Farmington Maine”. We have been very outspoken as to our disagreement of the audio analysis of the recording and results of which being a closed lead and a deemed hoax phone call. We contacted NCMEC via Twitter and asked what their phone number was in 1989 and if it was 1-800-THE-LOST. The response we received was ” Yes, it has always been that.” This of course raises the obvious question of, why wouldn’t Amy just call home? After meeting with the team we come to a few conclusions.

1. She may have been in a motel room and unable to make the long distance call but remembered the NCMEC number as during the time there was a flurry of abduction and murder cases and the number would also be used in conjunction with many of the Stranger Danger presentations and also on shows like America’s most wanted. So Amy would know that number and she would be able to dial a toll free number from the room if she had the time to do so. In this case, if her captor stepped out. 

2. He allows Amy to make this call just like the 3:30 phone call to Margaret on the 27th. The abductor knows letting her call home to a likely tapped and recorded home phone number is not an option. Even still for whatever reason, he feels compelled to allow this phone call.The most likely reason is to taunt all involved in the case in Law Enforcement and maybe even the Mihaljevics as well. It is worth mentioning here that Debora Kaye Smith was also said to be allowed to make this same kind of call while with the abductor. If that is 100% fact or not we do not know, but the info is out there if you choose to cross reference this point.

3. Yes we have thoroughly analyzed the two recordings as mentioned in previous entries and side with Mark and Margaret that this was actually Amy’s voice in the recording. The questioning of the audio analysis has been debated on social media with people asking us, ” So you think you’re better equipped than the FBI in audio recordings?”. The answer to that is yes, without doubt. One of our team members is an audio professional with many many years of professional recording experience. There is much to factor in with us making such a bold statement. This is not even apples to apples here. It is night and day and the reason is we used current pro grade high end wav analysis and the FBI used 1989 technology. Comparing the two recordings and forming a solid conclusion is tough and for the following reasons. Recording A, the classroom is recorded via an analog camcorder in an ambient noisy classroom using the mic on the recording device. Recording B the phone call was recorded using an isolated monophonic telephone. In order to accurately compare the two recordings, the vocals in both would need to be isolated. In other words, all background noise would have to be removed. The pro audio equipment of today can perform wav form analysis and plugins can be added into the signal chain to remove noise. Noise such as hiss,crackles,pops and droning sub frequency bass. In our test this is exactly what we did. We also must bare in mind that the phone call was recorded via a device that naturally accentuates the frequencies of the human voice. remember being a kid and saying to your friend while on the phone, listen to this, and you stick the phone up to some music speakers. Chances are when you put the phone back up to your ear and said, Wasn’t that great!? The person on the other end likely said, I couldn’t really hear it, it was too distorted. So we must acknowledge the limitations of the phone and bring the more high fidelity classroom recording to the monophonic level. Once you do this and listen to playback the two sound nearly identical. Furthermore you hear all the little nuances in Amy’s voice, such as the pronounced hiss in her S’s. Frequency wise, once isolated, vocal to vocal, they measure within a few cents of each other. No they aren’t exact and they could never be based on how they were recorded. What is a cent? It is a fraction of the musical scale of frequency. For example. If you tuned a guitar to A-440 and tuned another to A-439.4, few, if anybody could hear an audible difference. In the music business audio engineers are paid big money to make recordings sound their best so if you bring them a master wav file that was recorded poorly, they would likely tell you, I will try my best but you can’t polish a turd. It is our conclusion that since they are the ones in control of the official investigation that they might want to analyze that recording again using up to date modern technology. We side with Mark and Margaret, it sure sounds like Amy to us. Whether they were just being hopeful or not it is what it is and no one knows Amy’s telephone voice better than Margaret.

4. The location of the call. If Amy was allowed to make that call we have to believe that the goal was much the same as the 3:30 call to Margaret. To deter and shift focus from Amy’s actual location while taunting. As we mentioned in a tweet last month, if Amy makes that call because a window of opportunity presented itself. What if Amy was actually in Farmington Michigan and not Maine but misunderstood ME vs MI based on something she had in front of her next to the phone in the room? I asked 5 adults which state MI is an abbreviation for and four of them thought it was Missouri. And for the record Farmington  is in none other than Oakland County Michigan. Now we think of Debora Kaye Smith and all these abductions happening within a circle on the map as we illustrate in previous blogs. Jack Swint was definitely onto something when he made that map long ago. We aren’t saying Amy’s case is related to OCCK. we are saying you cannot rule it out. In the time being, we ask the FBI to re analyze those voice recordings with professional modern equipment. Once you compare apples to apples you might side with Margaret too, just as we do.

While child abductors and pedophiles are often planners, they are also the type to act on moments of opportunity 

We believe one of the most important clues and examples of this occurred at Holly Hill Farms. The week of the abduction when we hear of Amy being disheveled and upset, there was an incident at Holly Hill. This incident has been largely overlooked as Harold Bound was discounted as a  suspect. However, Harold may not have been the only adult male to witness this incident. We do not know which day this occurred but it played out like this. Margaret and Amy seemed to be having a disagreement inside Margaret’s off white Buick. Moments later Amy gets out upset and steps away from the vehicle. At this point the two are both obviously upset with each other and the interaction ends with Margaret tossing Amy’s boots out the window and swiftly driving away. Bound had spoken of this interaction and walked down to check on Amy to see if she was alright. Where are we going with this? We wonder who else witnessed this incident? Given the fact that some of Amy’s missing items are these exact pair of boots, we wonder if there is a correlation to this incident and furthermore we wonder if another adult male had also witnessed this incident at Holly Hill. This incident could very well create opportunity for the abductor as the argument creates an “IN” for the abductor as a way to emotionally manipulate Amy. Once the thought process begins with these types of predators it is generally full speed ahead. The opportunity comes first, then the planning follows. We won’t throw out names but there is someone else that could have also witnessed the incident that we are looking at very closely. During our investigation of this person we see some very odd patterns developing in his personal records and history. Some of you may have seen the tweet we sent out about finding something that is the case breaker, what I write about today could be intermingled with that case breaking information. Although our team largely believes some of the items of Amy’s that were missing from the body recovery site were simply left in the abductors vehicle, we also stay open that the horse related items missing were in fact taken on purpose and kept by the perps. So, the opportunity comes first. That first moment where the perps see a window of opportunity, second comes a plan on how to carry it out. We believe the abduction itself was not carried out by a sole individual. Going on, who Amy was, how she reacted to strangers in the past according to Mark Mihaljevic, Amy simply isn’t going with a stranger. We believe the van Amy approached with her two friends while en route to Bay Square is a key piece of information. If all had transpired as it was reported we believe the person that Amy knew was in that van and gave her instructions on what to do when she arrived at the shopping plaza. At this point the person she does not know actually abducts Amy. Amy is ok with it as the person she knew in the van told her what to do. She trusted that information. Ultimately, there needed to be that opportunity, perhaps it was the incident at Holly Hill that set a plan into motion to make it a reality. Given the fact that in Amy’s final weeks she was spending nearly every day at Holly Hill and the fact that she did so largely unsupervised, we see that window of opportunity develope. We will give you a clue on something that could possibly link the case breaking information and this incident. There was a woman who had an address on Bassett Rd who also ran an equestrian center. This woman also shared the address with one of Amy’s immediate neighbors. that neighbor was linked to the case breaking information of an individual of extremely high interest that we are still connecting the dots on. We are close to info submission with someone we know and trust in the FBI. There is more. Way more but we cannot disclose any more at this time. We see the van, we see the horses, we see the missing horse related items, we see the close proximity and access to Amy and the Mihaljevic family’s life, we see the opportunity that sets up the plan. We see the carpet fibers, we see the dog hairs and the case breaking person of interest has all of the above and more. There will not be another blog posted on this subject and we will not elaborate further. We encourage you to keep supplying your tips to the BVPD as those pieces of information could be potentially important in the big picture and could tie in to all that has been written here today. The team is working long hours and giving it their all. I’m very proud of this group and this selfless mission each and every one of us is on. We cannot promise that by Oct 27th you will know who did this to Amy as we cannot control the speed in which our submitted information is processed but we can promise that no one here will give up until the scum involved is behind bars. The information we have is the closest anyone has ever been to an answer. We are doing it all for Amy and the Mihaljevic family as well as the future safety of children anywhere near these scumbag perps. Be sure to follow us on Twitter for frequent updates on Amy’s case.

As with everything in this case having multiples, there appears to be 2 separate men named or nicknamed Bud that are related to each other. One of which is the factual uncle of Al Matlock. The update will go deeper into this connection in Nova and illustrate our latest findings as to who the pertinent “Bud” is.

Blaze and Riley

When you pour your heart into something and ask the universe for a sign or a little help, do you believe that it gives you answers in odd ways? While doing some field research work on a well known person in this case I discovered that this person lived next door to this house below. Look familiar?

Now where have I seen a house that looks like this before?

Maybe this one

Remember the possible curtain pic? In this article it speaks of a POI that was employed by Nasa. The original POI I was looking for before discovering the possible curtain pic is also employed by Nasa and just happens to be related to Al Matlock. Fact. Also included in this post are some other newspaper clippings.

As stated in previous posts I discovered a photo while researching a POI who is a relative of Al Matlock. This photo was submitted to Torsney a few months ago. This person who I will not name here is also a school teacher and just recently applied for new teaching licensure for teaching K through 8th grades. I found this man when looking for another person of the same first name. I discovered that this person shared the same address with a man who is related to Al Matlock and many people in the much discussed scum ring. This man posted a photo on social media and mysteriously edited the photo to white out what he didn’t want people to see. Ironically even his own wife didn’t know what this man was hiding in the picture and even commented herself on the photo saying What were you covering up? The POI did not respond to his wife’s comment. This man is also from the hot zone Lorain area where we believe Amy’s abductor and or killer is from. Ironically this man is also friends/relatives with the suspected truck owners from the Westlake house we spoke of in previous blogs. We will not reveal his identity at this time. We also will not show the complete photo. We will only show the portion of the photo that bares extreme likeness to the FBI photos of the curtain. We have had this photo analyzed and it shares similar material, thread patterns and color. We are also including a photo blown up and bump mapped to reveal shadows and material direction. Here are the photos

Photo 1: Cropped out is the man’s son who is approximately 15 yrs old in the photograph. Again this photo shows how he whited out a large section of the photo. Sidenote: The young boys belt is undone with the flap sticking out. We are protecting his identity by not showing his face. We also notice the white extensions drawn up top to possibly cover the tabs.

At first glance there is nothing to see here. Let’s zoom in on the segment above missed by the cell phone editing in white.

In this photo we have blown up that segment and compare it to a BVPD photo of the curtain

You will notice the 3 dots in the red circle. Left is the  POI’s photo blown up. Right is the BVPD photo showing the region of the curtain. We see the same top section, shading and key signatures that we are looking at the same piece of material or the other non faded half of the curtain. We see the same textures of the quilt used to make the curtain.

Next we will look at this A to B bump mapped to get a better idea of the material. These photographs are much different in age yet the same directional fabric patterns are clearly visible.

A=BVPD photo of curtain circa 2016

B= POI photo. Estimated as a photo taken between 1992 and 1995. This means if this is part of the curtain it is the other half and not the one Amy was wrapped in. We dated the photo by an appliance in the picture and the red box of pancake mix by positively identifying those two products

It is also worth noting that this Man’s mother was into crafts and sewing. Without speculating too much perhaps this is where those flea markets tie in. The big question is. Is this 1/2 the curtain? We cannot say with 100% certainty but what we can say is it sure as hell looks like it. Form your own opinion. With the close names to Al Matlock, The Lorain area and other things we cannot mention yet we really hope that both Torsney and the FBI took this submitted info  very seriously. On another side note both the POI and the original person I was looking at are also listed at Hoffman Estates Illinois as we talked about in previous blogs.
