I-70 Killer

[macbeth06]

Supposedly he was never caught night be 70 or 80 also the person really hated woman or had bad relationships with woman. Do you think it was a truck driver bad cop. He has not been caught for a very long time.

the stuff I read about on here from before theorized that he worked at department or retail shops in his past and had inside knowledge of how they are managed. I think his crimes will remain unsolved. I wonder if law enforcement had any decent suspects. I know there were some theories online. This case was featured on another network back about 7 years ago or so.

I've always had a theory and strong suspicion that the culprit worked in a traveling job for retail at the time the murders were committed. I don't think I ever shared it on here, but I believe that we were dealing with someone who had a job as some sort of retail district or regional manager who traveled the I-70 corridor for work.

I could see that. I've speculated he might have worked for a distributor, or had some type of job that involved a transfer from the midwest to the south around mid-1993.

That a very interesting theory.

It sounds like a interesting theory cause the killer would have to travel alot so maybe he was a traveling salesman or a truck driver . And he did know the layout of the stores well so maybe it was a inside job why do you think he stoped killing.

There's this common assumption that serial killers only stop because they are either caught for a different crime or they died. One thing that never seems to enter the equation is that they quit on their own.

However, there is a common thread in serial killer profiles that they are quite often people lashing out because they are timid individuals in their personal and professional lives. I think fear motivates some of them to stop. I think the Zodiac Killer was a prime example of this. He stopped killing after the murder of Paul Stine in October 1969. During this attack, he was witnessed by teenagers across the street and possibly spotted by police who drove by him. I think he panicked because he'd gotten too cocky going after the cab driver, and he held back after that. I think the same could be true of the I-70 Killer. It's possible that some close call put him off doing it again. The media like to portray serial killers as people with an uncontrollable compulsion to kill, but that is not particularly accurate. While their crimes are acts of compulsion, that compulsion isn't necessarily an uncontrollable one.

That very true when I was in criminology class we learned that they never stop on their own accord unless they want to after a certain number of kills.

Ugh so I was looking up patsy wrights cold case profile on the Arlington Texas website and Amy Vess had a page on there as well. The place she was murdered was directly next to a Mexican restaurant I used to eat at back in that same time. Glad I never knew that as a kid. I guess this is why Arlington Texas is mentioned at the end of the segment.

I have not posted on here in some time, but I just read about an unsolved murder of Janette Roberson in Michigan in the early 1980s. While it is off the path of I-70, the composite sketch is a dead ringer for the composite of our i-70 killer. I can't find any mention of a connection on line, but the similarities are shocking to say the least. The main difference seems to be the actual method of killing. Been a while since I've seen the case profiled, but as I recall, I-70 killer used an automatic pistol that resembled a small machine gun (this stood out because of the unique look of the weapon). But anyway, Janette Roberson was killed by blunt force trauma and there was sexual assault. I don't recall if any sexual assault had taken place in the i-70 cases. But with those two exceptions, the case seems to be identical.

For comparison, the I-70 killer composite:

And composite of the suspect in the Roberson case

Very similar. Especially the one on the right. These things are never spot on of course, but these seem extremely close in appearance to me.

Oh yeah. When you add up all the stuff in the 2 cases that are completely different and then add up the one dubious similarity, I can see where you think they might be related

Regardless of what other folks may say, I appreciate your insights.

Glad you're back posting!
