Knowledge of Camp 18 would be a must. More info on Steve H would be nice to know but from Mrs. Alvey's statement he was in Quincy the night of the murders. Here is something else interesting:

From the PON list:

This is interesting to me because Scott and Steve were both arrested in 1975 for selling marijuana. Steve was listed as 18yr.old  and a student at Greenville High. Scott was listed as 18yr. old and from Quincy. The surely knew each other. And here is Scott supposedly at this "acid party" in MV. The "acid" party nobody admitted to being at - then you got this "Steve" who supposedly claimed to have been walking around Keddie high on acid. Now we've got the acid party probably being at Chuck's place in Keddie instead of his stepbrother Roger's in MV.

Here is one more post of his that adds some good points to his theory.

The Garment Workers BUILT Co-Op City (and other apartment buildings.) And there are other financial connections between Co-Op City and buildings like the Pratt Institute. Rosemary LaBianca's dress shop was stocked with inventory from a factory owned by the Garment Workers Union. JSYK, that union was as (if not more) mob controlled than the Teamsters or the Longshoremen. How many SOS victims and other characters worked in the garment industry? Berko worked for a HVAC installer. That's Plumbers and Steamfitters. Hollyweird was and is unionized inside and out.

This week's podcast will take a closer look at mafia links to all these cases (and more.)

Poweranni, you are right, camp 18 is probably the biggest clue. Start there and work backwards. Who had knowledge of that area? As well a possibly a proper vehicle to navigate those difficult back roads from Keddie to Camp eighteen. And as Pro Horan pointed out previously, the knots are also important.

From Sue's autopsy report:

"the larger cord shows a brown female plug in The other end is a male type plug. This cord loops about the wrists and extends over the right hand, between the thumb and forefinger and connects with a lead of the cord which connects to the ankle. This connection is accomplished with the female end caught in a suggestive double clove hitch type knot near the dorsum (top) of the right hand."

They could have just used a "granny knot" to tie together the cords, instead they used a double clove hitch knot. Seems like someone who is familiar with different knots and comfortable enough to use it at that moment. Does anyone know what type of work Steve did at the time?

Goldmintz also owned a venetian blind business that operated out of the same building. Interestingly, Kelly Morrissey (who disappeared in June 1984 from Lynbrook, NY, where two other girls were murdered shortly thereafter) worked at a venetian blind store. The larger cult case is bizarre enough for this to have been more than coincidence.  

Speaking of cocaine fiends, watch an old pre-Code movie called "Smart Money" starring Edward G. Robinson (as "Nick the Barber.") The girls working in the hotel (and the one who comes around to hit up Nick for a C-note to get an abortion in the first fucking scene) are exactly the girls "Cocaine Fiends" is warning teenaged girls not to end up as. If you follow me. A LOT of pre-code movies, and not only "gangster" movies, have female characters who fit that stereotype. Olive Oyl is one of those "fallen girls." That's why she's so skinny, and spends all her time around sailors. "Cocaine Chic" was already a thing way back when your great-grandma was shaking her money maker to The Lindy Hop--literally, a coke-fueled rave-style dance, like the Jitterbug. "Hop" (cocaine) gives you the "Jitterbugs" which makes you get up and "Hip-Hop" across the dance floor. Get it?) Between 1919 and 1921, the Ideal flips from plus-sized Gibson Girls to coat hanger-thin Flappers. That's when legacy pledges start showing up at Skull & Bones and other college fraternities with vials of their doctor and dentist and pharmacist dads' War Surplus cocaine to share with the sorority girls at jazz parties, where the music is also cocaine-fueled. Read Fitzgerald's first novel.

And so on...
