A lot of information has come in during the last week. I'm still sorting through it right now, so be patient.
I have found the Accountant. And his story will creep you the hell out, soon.
I have also found the Fireman. Fans of Robert Resslers book Whoever Fights Monsters may remember he closed his chapter on Amy by mentioning that a police officer and a fireman were once suspects in the case. More on him, soon.
I also got a great tip on a fella from Ashland, who was questioned by police in 1989. Turns out this guy came up to Bay Village quite a bit back then to visit his kids, and lived not far from where Amy's body was found.
Three more interesting characters, but remember, they didn't all do it. So, since they remain uncharged, I'll probably not reveal their names (except, perhaps, the accountant). But I'll give enough info so that it will hopefully generate some new leads.
Also, I will be talking about the autopsy report sooner than the anniversary, I think. Too much speculation about what's in it. Too many people getting it wrong. I think it's better we were all on the same page. So, I'll do so in a respectful manner in the near future. Don't pin your hopes on the details, though. There's more questions than answers, there.
Finally, the five-part story on Robert Buell and Ralph Ross Jr. should be up in the next two weeks.
In the meantime, if you're looking for something to read, check out Silent Witness by Richard North Patterson. Patterson spent time in Bay Village researching his book, and the result is a very intruiging mystery that sort of combines the Sam Sheppard case with the Mihaljevic abduction (using different names, of course).

I bet the guy who was from Ashland was the same guy I posted in a previous post. The nutjob who had all the gear in his cellar.
Did his ex-wife also work in Bay Village? I worked with her. She told me about it in 1995, shortly after Albert Belle became a 50/50 man.

Who were the fireman and police , were they from Bay, or Ashland?
I went back and re-read James' book and this blog recently, and something occurred to me. It's not significant, but when I lived in Bay Village in the 70's, I went to school with a girl called Cindy London, and she had a brother named Jim-Is the Jim London who lived next to Billy Strunak in Fairview Park the same one who lived in Bay village?
James -
Do you ever hear from Amy's Dad or brother Jason? I know you interviewed them for your book, but I wonder what their ongoing thoughts are on the developments in the case and your blog updates.
Just curious.
Answers to a few of your questions:
-Not sure if the guy from Ashland is the same one. Feel free to send info to the email at the top of the page.
-I don't believe either the fireman or police officer worked in Bay Village or Ashland.
-I don't know if Jim and Cindy London are related. Jim's a good guy.
-I do keep in touch with Mark Mihaljevic, but I don't really send him questions about the case. I recently reunited him with a long-lost photo album of Amy's that was being kept by a very friendly psychic who once helped Margaret. I don't have much contact with Jason, but I think he's doing well.
James-I hope you didn't think I meant to imply that Jim London wasn't a good guy-if he's the same fellow I knew in Bay Village, he is a good guy. Like so many things in this case, it was something that made me curious.
yes its the same nutjob.
Jim,do you know what the red substance is that was found on her clothing?
Just using a little common sense!
WHY Were soo many FBI agents involved? Did anyone examine the red "blotch" on the gold colored carpet in "Harvey" house that was pretty close to the plaza? I thought your book was a really fast read! Keep up the great work
Are they sure that the gold fibers are in fact carpet fibers? Or could the gold fibers be the type of fibers from something like a BACKPACK?
