"Gannon and another NYPD detective, Anthony Duarte — along with the other investigators — believe a gang of killers has been trolling interstates from New York to Wisconsin, staging the drownings."

This is the only hint that this may be attacks on gay men. Anyone know something else about this?

[durasell]

All signs point to a Wal-Mart connection...

[lesser_satan]

I don’t know why it necessarily has to be a gang. Why couldn’t it be a lone nut? If it was a gang, somebody would’ve turned and ratted by now.

Lots of info and video here:

The detectives have run out of money to continue their work. One of them mortgaged his house to work on this. Here is their web site:

Though I’ve often wondered if the cases involving male college students involved gay men, I can’t necessarily assume this is the case. As for trolling interstates, I’ve heard that these kids are often in bars when last seen and while anonymous sex is more popular with gays than straights, if you’re ALREADY IN A BAR, no need to go to some rest stop, if that’s what you were implying.

Could just be lone kids being too trusting or too drunk to stop one or a few killers.

homosexuality can be deadly in more ways than one, apparently.

"They're telling you here that they're into evil, they're very happy...."

My speculation is devil worshipers.

Ping! I’m just sayin’!

There is now some suspicion that this gang or individual may be connected to the disappearance of a Middlebury student and the drowning of a SUNY Plattsburgh student.

Jenkins' body was discovered in the Mississippi River about four months after he disappeared in 2003. To police, his death looked like an accidental fall after a night of drinking.

There were some articles in the news around that time that four students had disappeared from various places in Minnesota and Wisconsin within a very short period. I always wondered if anything more was discovered about them.

Some information about it on this link. Sorry I don't have time to look up anything else right now.

I’d guess gang initiation. MS-13 or Crips - kill a white boy to get in.

Up & down the Mississippi River valley. There’s an excellent Interstate Highway system that runs the same route. EZ-On, EZ-Off.

I’ve been speculating on this situation for a very long time. There IS something afoot. (However, if FOX breaks the story, I’ll eat my hat, LOL!) What I don’t understand is all of the MOTHERS of these young men remaining silent. If MY kid was one of these victims, and there are LOTS of them, I’d be raising Heaven and Hell to figure this one out.

I still say we need Ann Rule on the case. She’ll have this wrapped up in the time it takes to read a mass-market paperback. ;)

[hosepipe]

One of them was found dead in a pool of milk with a banana in his mouth,.,

A Cereal killer is suspected..

[Tzimisce]

Hm - all white men, in their twenties from good schools with high grade point averages and athletic backgrounds.

I’m thinking a feminist gang, a gang of angry Islamic “youths”, a black gang angry about slavery....

[struggle]

Buckley too?

[Toespi]

A year ago this month a local Ohio State medical student went missing in Columbus, Brian Shaffer. He was last seen at a campus bar, certainly fits the MO. Two days ago a body was found in a local river, the Olentangy, so far have not heard about any ID of the deceased except that because of decomposition, they could not immediately determine gender, race, age, etc.

[anonsquared]

It’s more likely that the killer/killers are gay. Maybe targeting young males after seeing a photo in the sports section of the local paper and then stalking them. Follow them to a bar and then spike their drink. Wasn’t there a few cases in the past of homosexual pedophiles stalking and killing young boys after seeing their pictures in the paper? I think it was Florida.

I saw on the news tonight that the FBI is denying these murders are linked. Is it because this has been going on under their noses for years and they didn’t have a clue?

[Hyzenthlay]

I don’t think it’s necessarily targeted at gay men, mostly because of the mention of the ‘impressive athletic records’. For some reason, gay men and athletics just don’t seem to go together. Think of how many openly gay actors or musicians there are... now compare that with the fact that there has never been a professional athlete who was ‘out’ during his athletic career, last I heard at least. I know it sounds stereotypical, but I don’t think I’ve ever met a gay guy who played any sort of sports that didn’t involve a video game console.

‘Trolling the interstates’ could also mean attacks on hitchhikers, guys with broken-down cars, guys who pulled over to the side of the road to pee in the bushes, etc.,

"40 Drowning Victims May Have Been Murdered..."

We need an assault water ban.

Liberals are calling for a ten day waiting period before bathing.

Oh wait. They wait that long before taking baths anyhow.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Serial killers that don’t exist ping.

We wuz jest talkin’ about this here thing not long back...
