Given the ugliness in Oba's main thread, I opted to start a new one instead.


We now know he was at the very least a two time killer and a serial rapist. I'm trying to nail down when he moved to Florida to see if he could be a suspect in other central Florida cases, such as Little Miss Panasofkee or Tammy Leppert or even Amy Billig (Oba Chandler was once an informant for the Customs Depart, albeit in the early 1990s, but it's an interesting coincidence.

These article may be interesting to some.

Thanks Necco.

Here's the info I shared earlier:

News reports published today, say that DNA has connected Oba Chandler to another cold case murder from 1990.

Ivelisse Berrios Beguerisse, who was 20 years old, was found murdered on the side of the road in Coral Springs FL on November 27, 1990. She worked at a mall. Her car was found in the parking lot with the tires slashed. Police believed Chandler used his helpful good samaritan routine to offer her a ride after she got off work and discovered that her car had been disabled.

I thought you were just giving me a chance to grab it and bring it over here. :)

Linda Lois Little is listed as a possible victim of Oba Chandler. She vanished from Daytona Beach in 1991 on Oba Chandler's birthday.

This link has Oba being at Camp Lejeune from 12/25/65 to 1/11/67 as a Marine. That's a 2 year hold cleared up.
