So if Sanborn didn't do it, who killed Jessica Briggs? We've been over April's theory that her father, Barry, may have been involved. But I can't find any evidence to support that at all. The looming question remains. The question that brought Amy and I together in the first place. Is Jessica Briggs a victim of the Connecticut River Valley Killer?

As I mentioned at the top, John Philpin and Greg McCrary have both gone on record saying that Briggs indeed looks like a Valley Killer victim.

I don't think John and McCrary ever actually testified, because Sanborn withdrew his post-conviction hearing in order to get out of prison. But that didn't stop McCrary from filing two separate reports in the Maine courts. Quote, Then, McCrary invoked the case of Barbara Agnew. who was abducted from a rest area off I-91 in January of 1987 and then murdered in Heartland, Vermont.

Agnew, wrote McCrary, quote, sustained a strikingly similar pattern of injuries to that of Ms. Briggs. While it would be premature to link this case without further in-depth analysis, these are the type of crimes that, in the interest of justice, should be cross-referenced and analyzed to determine whether or not they could be linked, end quote.

I've seen a video of Jessica Briggs when she was pulled from the water, and photos of her autopsy. I also have the autopsy report, completed by Dr. Ronald Roy, the deputy chief medical examiner. This is the first time I've actually had access to such materials in any of these cases. It was shocking. Horrifying, in fact. And I'm so sorry, but this is necessarily going to get a bit graphic.

If that's not your thing, you can skip ahead. When Jessica was pulled from the water, she was clothed in her black dress and jean jacket, but both garments had ridden up and bunched around her neck. Her stockings were loosely looped around her neck, not knotted or tied. Her underwear is pulled up tight into her groin.

In order to get her out of the water, Jessica was loaded onto a kind of sled on ropes, face down. Her body was rigid. In one of the autopsy photos, Jessica's lying on a metal table, her brown eyes staring up at the camera blankly. Her mouth is agape, as if she'd just taken her last breath.

The front of her dress has buttons going all down the front, but several button loops are broken, though it's unclear if they were cut or merely pulled off. Her underwear is multicolored and torn at the front on both sides. In her jean jacket, a pair of sunglasses is found, but not the butcher knife that Jessica had taken from home and stored in her inside jacket pocket.

There were two knives actually recovered from the seabed where Jessica's body was found. Though neither of these two knives were officially linked as the murder weapon, one of them was a long six-inch blade, and the medical examiner on the stand said that it possibly had made the wound to her neck and to her abdomen.

He also said it was possible that a smaller knife was used in some of the other wounds. So I'm thinking whoever attacked Jessica, say the Connecticut River Valley Killer, had a knife on them. And the Connecticut River Valley Killer is known to use a rather small knife, around four or five inches long.
