So I do it, comes back with four numbers. Holy smokes, that's awesome because most of the geofence warrants come back with nothing. I'm like, all right, positive results, four numbers. So I start tracking down the numbers and one by one, everyone had a legitimate reason to be there.
And that would mean a home run. Unfortunately, that did not happen, and we're just stuck with the name. And as you can see, I have plenty of names, and it's difficult with just a name to approach someone and say, you know, I want to talk to you.
People are afraid of, you know, the person that did the crime coming back and, you know, getting the snitch or, you know, rat. That type of code, if you will. And it's not just this case, but a lot of cases, you know, people don't want to snitch on anyone for fear of retaliation or retribution.
He's a good football player. His face would light up when we talked about football.
Pretty much every investigator who's come in on the case, we think what likely happened is that they had left the party together. Robert likely made a move to Susie, which she probably did not like, which either caused an argument or he continued to come on to her. And obviously, when they did not go towards her house, probably asked to get out of the vehicle.
We think that she probably did not get out of the vehicle at that point. And whether a struggle ensued or they continued to drive or if there was an altercation or fight or something in the car, or if she did get out and they did try to force her back in the car, we don't believe that she had ever actually gotten out of the car and left that area.
The theory is that she was likely sexually assaulted and dumped out in the forest.
The case kind of, it's never not, it's never just like done. It's not done being investigated, but it does ebb and flow with technology information. So there are times where nothing happens for a few years.
We sent those to a private lab to do rootless hair DNA. And they told us that they have like a one in three chance to get DNA from rootless hair. I think we sent like six or seven of them and struck out on all of them. So we got no DNA from those hairs. They may have been Susie's hairs, we don't know.
Reading back on the evidence reports and then now sending evidence, you know, years later, it just seems like we just need that one break. And it just seems like we haven't got the chips to fall our way. We had to talk about, do we try to do stuff with DNA now or do we give it another, you know, five years, another 10 years?
Because think of all the DNA advancements that have happened over the last five to 10 years already. How much more sensitive, how much less DNA you need? Is it possible that, you know, continues to happen? And are we going to ruin whatever DNA that we are looking for now and be able to find that five to ten years from now?
Really, all the rumors that have gone around, I think, hasn't really helped bring factual information. I guess 34 years later, it is like a game of telephone and people's memories probably fade over the years. And over time, those stories probably get a little bit more foggy. Even if people do remember certain things that happened, that information isn't as fresh anymore.
We went into the residence and noticed that everything was very well kept, neat and orderly. The cupboards still had food in them. The refrigerator still had food and other items in it. However, the toilets appeared to have been sitting for a while with cleaner in them.
The residence appeared to have been undisturbed and it did not look as though there had been any form of altercation and there was no forced entry to the residence. We did observe that inside the residence in the master bedroom, there were four dressers, all of which were empty of clothing. The closets still had clothing, shoes, and other apparel inside of them.
We were unable to determine if the residence had been cleared by Slater moving items out.
When we entered the building, we were met by a male walking down from the second floor. The male would not provide his name and stated he tries to stay out of people's business because of the location where he lives. He was shown the photo of Slater and he stated that he has seen her around the complex and walked us to her apartment door.
The male stated that he has not seen her in a few weeks and that was out of the normal. I asked the male where the mailbox bank was located. He stated it was on the second floor.
If you want to define a routine Commonwealth Manic, it's pretty much that. We got a medical at Ashen Towers. They go there all the time for medical emergencies, all the time, all the time, all the time.
The initial officers go in there and they immediately know that he's deceased. There was large amounts of blood on and surrounding William. It was obvious that there was some kind of violent struggle or violent attack, I should say. In plain sight, there was no obvious wound. There was no bullet. Usually when you go to some of these scenes, you could tell if it's a gunshot victim, a strangulation.
You can see sometimes the ligature marks or cordage or something that was used. For this case, you couldn't really see anything. They just knew that he was deceased and there's a large amount of blood. In fact, it wasn't until we called the medical examiner and they started moving William that they noticed the stab wound.
