Perp Profiles

As of early 2004, there were roughly 140 "possible suspects" in the JBR case (Shapiro 2001). As of August 2006, Boulder DA Mary Lacy asserted "I’m guessing between the BPD and our office, we’ve probably looked seriously at 200 people...." "Seriously. At 200 people. Uhm and done investigation into those 200 people. That’s not saying that we’ve done buccal swabs on all of them. We haven’t. There are DNA samples taken on a lot of different suspects." (Transcript by Internet poster Jayelles.)

 

Click on Perp Profiles to view the debate over a) did the perp know the family? b) how old was the perp? c) was the perp a sexual predator? and d) was the perp experienced? Internet poster oneeyedJack has reported that "Dr. Robert Keppel, who worked the Green River Killer case, brought a lot to the table in that case because of the way he dealt with the voluminous files. He became a consultant on dealing with these huge cases in later years, and he said that in over 90% of cases, the name of the offender was in the police files within the first month or so." Thus, it's far more likely than not that the killer is someone already identified by police, but not all the 140 "possible suspects" alluded to above are necessarily known to the public.
