I live in Columbus and I'm very familiar with the area that lady died. The story about her chasing a dog in the river makes no sense if you know the area. You can't even see the river from where her car was. Definitely something else going on here.
I'm not an expert on psycho-analyzing serial killers, but I have watched an episode of Criminal Minds.I saw an article on this story where the author implied a connection because they were "close" together. I'll see if I can find it.

I've been reading the articles on it just now, and it all sounds like foul play was involved, but I see nothing where anyone official has connected it in any way to the two girls in Delphi. I think the media is making this leap on their own. Just because two incidents occurred, doesn't mean there is a serial killer on the loose here. We had a murder here in Starke County Friday, but they already have the suspects in custody.
My mind keeps going back to Jeanne Gilbert's murder that was 28 years ago and never solved and pray that the two girls' deaths don't end up like that one did. They had sketches and a vehicle description for the guy that they thought was responsible for Jeanne's death but have never found him. Her story has been on all of the TV unsolved crime shows, etc. and still no arrest. When Jeanne was killed, there was another Day's Inn clerk murdered around the same time also along I-65 (I think at Merrillville) that was connected to her death. I worked with her sister-in-law and will never forget her getting that call at work that morning and her running out to race home. It was awful.

For the family's sake, I hope they can catch the person(s) responsible for all three of these recent deaths. I don't know how you deal with knowing that the person responsible is out there on the loose to do this again.

The victims don't seem similar. 2 young girls and a grown woman. The only similarity is the state in which the crime occurred. I doubt it's the same person. If the FBI put 20 agents on the Columbus case then I may believe they're connected.
I'm pretty sure there was an episode like that. So, probably, yeah.Copy cat attention seeker...???
Columbus/Delphi, same thing...
Come on people, don't even bog this thread down with such nonsense.
I don't know the news media came up with this or if there is actual evidence to support the idea that this was the same person.

Agreed. No idea if they're actually connected. Obviously the media wants a story and click bait.
But this lady's death in Columbus has foul play written all over it.
I hope there is an arrest soon, as more time goes by, the more concerned I am that this predator might not be caught.
Wife's friend is a friend of the family of the woman in Columbus. They don't believe it was foul play as she was quite known to rescue any dog she could.
As for why no announcements, do we really need them? We don't need authorities to tell us to be safe, do we?

My suspicion is that the Columbus situation was a suicide. A note or something would be about the only way I can think of to rule out foul play so quickly. Or some sort of immediately recognizable medical issue that I can't think of.
The longer the Delphi thing goes without some sort of public break, the more difficult it will become, I'm afraid.
I agree. (In fact, I think I was the one who mentioned it.)If LE has a short snip of him walking they should release it, if possible. It was mentioned earlier that a persons gate can be very identifiable and that is quite true.
Creepy video. At this point I hope they release more audio/video.This video gives a layout of the land and a probable explanation of how the events went leading up to the murders.
I don't know why the narrator has a creepy british robot voice.
