Anonymous asked: Barrister Hall set on my flickr account kathy63, you can see there is a window screen missing from the front lower left apartment, what was the vacant apartment I believe, when Lauren was discovered missing. There was speculation that the torso was pushed out the window and into the roll away trash can ( to avoid being seen ). I took these a few weeks ago around the 1st of Aug. Not sure how long...

Anonymous asked: I mean this to be completely complimentary, but has anyone told you that you have a sort of Wednesday Adams streak to you? Not that I know what I think a zombie prepping, zealous forensic psychiatry student would be like. Your range of interest are so interesting!
Anonymous asked: As someone who knew Lauren, I really appreciate your blog. We, some friends who graduated from Agnes Scott in 2006 with Lauren, have been constantly running through the few details we have of the case. Of course our biggest questions are why anyone would do this and how they did it. We wonder how because of course we hope she didn't experience much pain or terror. It's heartbreaking....

Anonymous asked: With your knowledge of criminals of this type, and your impression of McD so far... if he is the killer, what do you think of the possibility that he may have buried/stashed the head somewhere he knew he could retrieve it later?

McDaniel Mass Email Exchange With Mercer Students:
*The following is an email exchange prompted initially by McDaniel’s proposed hypothetical construct, which appeared to many as a veiled indictment of Obama and possible “communist” affiliation. He sent this out three weeks into his first semester, years back. This is unrelated to the murder of Lauren Giddings but provides a glimpse into the mind/intellect of “person of...
Ostensibly Stephen McDaniel's Mass Emails From...
I have received copies of what is purported to be Stephen McDaniel’s mass email exchange with the Mercer student body. This was unrelated to Lauren Giddings but gives one a glimpse into both his personality and the student body he was dealing with when he walked into Mercer. Let’s just say they are a prickly bunch?
I am formatting them and will post them tonight…

Anonymous asked: Since it was just brought up on WS, I'll post my thoughts on this:
The only thing they said they couldn't find was LG's Mercer Student ID.
I find this interesting because of her affiliation with the hashers run club.
As I understand it, it's common for students to only carry their student id card
on them when they go running. I still wonder if she...

I still see two possibilities for bringing in the national media spotlight.
1. They couldn't find the evidence they need to charge McD,
so their case is going cold and they could have a killer at-large
2. They know from talking with the FBI that they have the evidence
to charge McD, they're just waiting for...

Anonymous asked: I've been reading your informative, and impressively accurate, posts both here and on the WS website in the wake of Lauren's shocking murder, and I'd first like to applaud the analytically neutral tone of all of your posts. Analyzing and theorizing about something this awful is inevitably emotional and people too often allow those emotions to obscure their ability to rationally...

Anonymous asked: Have you heard anything about the rumors that Lauren's body was burned? I haven't seen anything more about that for a while, so maybe it was just a rumor. It would fit with the "desperate to find some way to dispose of the body" theme, though.

Now that we know the torso was found in the trash can, wrapped in
plastic. And, I believe I read where it was rumored earlier that it was
triple bagged - and at this point, we could reasonably assume this.
Judging from the videos of the crime scene that morning, and the
reactions of the officers, etc... the remains were apparently pretty

Tip: Did McDaniel Buy Multiple Ponchos?
*I received a bit of information from a source who has had all her tips subsequently verified, but this is still just an informal tip so take it that way. I found it too possibly significant to go unmentioned.*
Have policed learned that “person of interest” Stephen McDaniel purchased ponchos, “as many as they had,” from a Walmart prior to the discovery of Lauren...
Anonymous asked: I just had a thought, is it possible that the killer dropped the torso out of a window in the apt. so that no one would see him leaving the front door with something in hand? Maybe he even jumped out himself and then went and tried to cover it up? This case is such a mystery to me and I cannot stop analyzing what could have happened- without the torso outside, it would not even be much of...
Update on Lauren Giddings: Tracking McDaniel's...
Well, the media has officially been in a holding pattern in terms of reporting on the Lauren Gidding’s case ever since Macon authorities sent in the evidence to the FBI. Authorities are very careful not to openly condemn Stephen McDaniel, but they are now tracking his purchases. This is crucial. The victim’s torso was found wrapped in plastic in a garbage bin to the left of her...

Anonymous asked: Is it rumor or fact that McD collected knives, machetes, or weapons? If yes, then how do you know for sure? When you visited the apt. was their blood anywhere? Why do they think it happened in her apt. if there is no sign of a struggle? Did they detect blood with lumenol? Will they look at his bank acct. to see what was purchased recently?

Anonymous asked: Now that all this new news has come out about the master key, removal of refrigerator, and the comments from his mother. What do you think? Please give your updates b/c I am soooo confused now. I heard he had scratches on him when arrested, obviously he had a friendship with her. Are there back entrances to these apartments? Stealing condoms when you don't even have a girlfriend?

But, I'll just say one more thing about this.
It is unfortunate they didn't share more photos, or properly date/order them.
However, I would think it would have been obvious to any reporter on the scene that morning if the body was found and collected from one of those trash cans. In which case, they would...

Anonymous asked: Are you still in Macon? I have Family members that work for the Macon Fire Dept and the MPD and I have been told the same about multi-parts being found( not Laurens). Have you been able to confirm this?
Anonymous asked: Very nice synopsis on Lauren Giddings. May I postulate that the torso may have been a refrigerator in one of those apartments for some time before its discovery on Thursday after her last contact on the previous Saturday? This would have forestalled decomposition to some degree. Then a nervous someone dumped the torso.

Anonymous asked: I actually found your blog (or tumblr or whatever this is) through google, so ha. But I don't so much have a question as I have a comment. I was searching for insight into the Giddings murder (as information is pretty scarce) and stumbled on you. Thanks.
