Where We Stand Today

What this episode covers

This case has so many different rabbit holes that it is important to remember the facts. Theories are just theories and as much as we can speculate on who this killer is it important to remember that only one person called Amy and in all likely hood one person is responsible for this crime. Too many theories and too many suspects, is the best way I can put it. If this case were built on theories, we would be near skyscraper territory at this point. As James Renner has said before on this podcast, this case is so frustrating because there were so many people with the means, motive and opportunity. To think that so many people fancied this young girl is disturbing on a whole new level.PAUSEWhy, in a city with a population under 16,000 people, haven’t they been able to find the killer or justice for the Mihaljevic family?There is a connection between Bay Village and Ashland County and someone in this area or the Ashland area knows the answer. In 2016, Special Agent Phil Torsney and the Chief of Bay Village Police Mark Spaetzel held a press conference where they released new evidence, new in the sense that it had recently been tested but had been in the possession of the police for over 25 years. It was when they tested the curtain and blanket that were found some 300 feet from Amy, they discovered similar, key word similar, dog hairs that had been found on Amy’s body and were similar to the Mihaljevic family dog, Jakey.The curtain was shown to the public for the first time in 2016 and was most certainly made by someone, it had been repurposed from a quilt or duvet type of cover but was cut to specific dimensions as to cover a door or closet. The big question that remains from that press conference, assuming that person is still alive, why haven’t you come forward with the information that puts this guy away? Are you complicit with this unknown male? If so, you will also be looking at the death penalty here in Ohio. If that burden has become too much to bear, its time to let yourself be free of the pain. Before we get to my conversation with Nic from the True Crime Garage podcast, I think it is important to refresh some of the basic facts of the case so let’s start with the five w’s of journalism.
