If your question went unanswered, please ask it again.---sorry

I think that you should investigate more on the cat and boyfriend.
That message on the answering machine gave out a clue too. Maybe Joey had something to do with it. He sounded pretty nervice on the answering machine.
The one condom package was found open. right??? well maybe he raped her or they made out before she died. There is one way to answer that question is there not?? Did Valerie have any scars on her or skin in her nails??If she did that means she could have been struggling from a person, perhaps a male!!

Sun Mar 30 15:01:54 1997

How do you know that the weapon was really a knife?




Sun Mar 30 12:55:56 1997

Where was the victim when she was shot? If she was in bed, the angle of the shot would be diagonal instead of from the back, would it not?


Sat Mar 29 21:48:26 1997

I was wondering if you could tell me if you ever recieved any information on Valarie's reputation, and if so, what did people say that she was like. The matches found in her purse are bothering me. I might be wrong, hopefully you'll be able to tell me.


Fri Mar 28 21:49:00 1997

I still have questions regarding the recovery of
information from Valerie's computer. Her diary was
recovered from computer by Umiss computer students.
But what information did Northern Data Recovery
retrieve? The President of this company, Robert K.
Gordon, noted in 0895 that his company "will recover
significant amounts of data." What did he recover?
Where is this information? I believe that if computer
students at U of Miss were able to uncover evidence
from the files, certainly, Mr. Gordon's company
uncovered additional evidence.


Fri Mar 28 21:06:24 1997

Dear Detective Armstrong,
You stated that the person was killed in the
bedroom then taken to the tub and bathed then taken to the
kitchen, and ripped to pieces.1) the window was broken: was
the glass broken in or out; was it cleaned up? 2) the person
was killed in the bedroom; I don't think so, where is the
blood in the bedroom other then the pillow, there has to be
more blood. 3) you stated the body was bathed, then why did
she have her clothes on, or was the clothes wet, you never
stated. 4) why would the murderer want to risk
getting caught and bring the body in the kitchen where he/she
would have to walk by windows?5) was there missing money?
bank cards, check books, credit cards. 6) was there any
bruising that happen prior to death? 7) was the purse found
open or closed? 8)was there any blood skid marks/blood drag
marks leading from one room to another? 9) did the police
dept use the die that when you use a black light that the
iron in the blood shows up. It never washes away. 10) I
recall a play that resembles it case. could the made the
call on the answer machine to cover his tracks? Please
get back to me, I have a lot more ideas on this cases.

Fri Mar 28 18:56:20 1997

what is her boyfriends name


Fri Mar 28 10:28:42 1997

Have you people got any of the killers yet? Is this really real? Please answer my question and do not forget!


Fri Mar 28 09:59:39 1997

DID SHE HAVE ANY ENEMYS


Fri Mar 28 00:07:51 1997

Okay, before I get real in-depth here, let me just see if I've got all this straight.

Valerie Vilson leaves the bar with someone (NOT Greg Giblini, possibly Will Giblini) and is later found dead. Greg Giblini flees (also, his blood was found on the cat). William Giblini turns up dead. Then, GREG Giblini turns up dead.

Now we find that Valerie Vilson had a biological sister, Purity (aka Ariadne) Knight, who was a big part of her life for awhile. The Knight family is not under suspicion at this time (at least I can't see that they would be, as ballistics tests seem to show that no involved gun was theirs). Purity/Ariadne is now missing following a stalking incident and no one knows where she is.

So, am I missing anything? Are any of those statements wrong?

Thu Mar 27 21:47:38 1997

where is the suspect


Thu Mar 27 02:01:55 1997

1-do you know the business will had in miami or purpose of visit?
2-where is all of this mob/greg was a fed "specualtion??" coming from, is there more than
the rumors of net bookmaking to the mob thing. is the fed stuff pure speculation?
3.have you put the whole "puzzle" together, or is it just the val part?
4.I suppose revealing whether there is more than one killer before 4/1 would give too much away?
...

thats cool that you spend your time on this, i come here a lot.the site is intriguing, i hope when its done
you can find another case to put up ,although i think it would be hard to find one as interesting as this..
thank you. recidivst3@aol


Thu Mar 27 00:20:07 1997

Have they tracked down Gregg?


Wed Mar 26 19:35:04 1997

where was the boyfriend


Wed Mar 26 19:10:01 1997

possible scenario?: Valerie is seeing both Will and Greg. Will has had enough. He kills Val. Greg kills Will. Pherhaps Greg's death is a concidence. Purity???? Maybe she disappeared on her own.


Wed Mar 26 15:32:30 1997

Just one more:
Is the cat "identified"?
Are the persons onthe photographs near the cat identified?
(both on peeper7.jpg)


Wed Mar 26 15:25:05 1997

1) Who is Scott Mc Coy ? (-> Johnny Mc Phail)

2) Are you sure it is A.P.Knight on the 1000asa film? I have
doubts on that:
-> Dec 9th 1996: purity still missing
-> Dec18th 1996: in contact with parents
-> Jan11th 1997: not yet arrived on campus
-> Feb 2nd 1997: appears in peoples magazine, photograph
shows her short haired, pretty similar
to Ole Miss ID
-> Mar ... 1997: photographs show a person with 3 to 4 inch
longer hair.
THEY DON'T GROW THAT FAST!! WHO IS IT?!
Do the window frames and furniture match the common home with Lee?
Well looks like we're going for another mystery...


Tue Mar 25 05:42:15 1997

Did he love her?


Tue Mar 25 00:01:00 1997

Dear Dectective Armstrong,
Has anyone from your department taken the time out to study the play Marat Sade? The fact that
the victim was washed and mutilated
after death reminds me of the play-which has to do with death,murder &insanity.If I am correct there is a crucial scene in Marat Sade that evolves around a tub? Could the killer be giving us a clue through this play?


Mon Mar 24 11:37:02 1997

Detective did the victom ever report any problems with the boyfriend in the past to the yoknapatawpha County Police department?


Sun Mar 23 15:40:16 1997

You probably realize this, but NO-One with a computer and that much equipment would have a blank hard drive. Have you looked into reconstructing the hard drive and recovering that information? It can be done by a computer specialist.


Sun Mar 23 06:41:12 1997

Alibi for Purity's ex-boyfriend the rapist? Seems she suspected who the stalker was (hunch) and old boyfriend is first place to check and most likely suspect. Thomas Armstrong (nice last name eh?)


Sat Mar 22 03:48:22 1997

Are we going to learn any more about Tom Giblini? He seems to be the one person who profited from Val, Will, and Greg's murders, he owns Rosebud free and clear. Also, will you agree with the supposition that the murderer and the mutilator are two different persons?


Fri Mar 21 18:22:48 1997

Have you checked out Purity's parents alibis?


Thu Mar 20 22:22:21 1997

Was Brianna ever questioned? Maybe she was jealous of Valerie.


Thu Mar 20 19:28:55 1997

Did you ever consider the man who raped Purity may have done this, and Will may have been at the wrong place at the wrong time?


Thu Mar 20 17:54:24 1997

Who's DNA does the blood on the cat match?

Response: It's almost a perfect match to William Giblini.


Thu Mar 20 17:50:50 1997

Does the blood in the kichen match the blood in the bedroom?

Response: Yes.


Thu Mar 20 17:46:02 1997

Is the mysterious third person a male or female?

Response: The blood from the third person is like William Giblini's.


Thu Mar 20 17:43:38 1997

Were there any marks on the body?

Response: None other than the bullet wound and punctures.


Thu Mar 20 17:42:18 1997

Were there any finger prints on the body?

Response: No.


Thu Mar 20 17:36:16 1997

Who did she beat to get those parts in the plays?

Response: Good question. No one has asked before. We don't know. Probably several dozen during her three years at school.


Thu Mar 20 12:33:49 1997

What was her job?

Response: Student.


Wed Mar 19 00:29:59 1997

I am bothered re: the sequence of the attacks. Specifically, the splatter blood on the frig. If she was already dead and washed and brought into the kitchen, her blood would no longer splatter, right? whose blood on the pillow? Was a third person taken from the scene? Why the hostility of the Knights. I still don't understand the realtionship of Purity and Valarie.

Response: The victim's bloood was intentionally spattered.


Mon Mar 17 16:13:37 1997

The Police report a typo.
In the 12 pictures taken on the Olympus 0m2, there is a closeup shot of Purity (presumed)where she is holding a black object in her left hand. Has the object been identified? Is it a hand held tape recorder? Was it recovered from the apartment?

Response: Thanks for setting us straight on the error. Another look at the police report will show we've fixed it. An alias was inadvertantly revealed.

As for the item in Purity's hand. We'll check into that. Excellent tip. Thats what this comment area is for.


Mon Mar 17 15:36:16 1997

I think Johnny McPhail needs to be investigated further.

Response: True. We are checking his background. He is very cooperative.


Mon Mar 17 08:43:06 1997

Has Greg Giblini ever hit or beaten up Valerie Vilson before?

Did Valerie Vilson and Greg Giblini ever take durgs? If so how often?

Did Greg Giblini get along with Purity Kinght?

Response: 1-No violence.
2-Yes, with frequency.
3-No indication. Likely.


Mon Mar 17 07:37:30 1997

Please share what was unusual about Valerie's face. Also, please share any other information such as who bought the plane ticket and how that info fits into scheme of things. We get the feeling you've intentionally kept a few vital clues to yourself.

Response: We withheld the information regarding Vilson's face in order to positively identify the killer. Only he would know this. On April 1st that information will be available.

As for withholding vital clues...it's all there. Try the file list for items you missed.


Sat Mar 15 22:07:18 1997

Was Valerie's face mutilated with the knife?
Were her eyes-open or closed?

Response: No facial mutilation. Her eyes were closed.


Sat Mar 15 21:59:48 1997

Has William Giblini's estranged wife been interviewed? If yes, where are the transcripts?

Response: She was interviewed, but requested privacy.


Sat Mar 15 12:51:53 1997

In the biography of Judith Veeder Knight, it is stated that she gave birth to the couple's only child, Purity Marie, in September of 1996. Why was there no mention of the birth of Valerie, if she was indeed, the first biological child? I realize that she was adopted, however, shouldn't there be some record of her birth?

Response: That biography was written by Judith Knight. She, seemingly, doesn't acknowledge Valerie Vilson's birth.


Sat Mar 15 11:39:40 1997

Sounds like the peeper could have been a tabloid photographer. With low light film not exposed very well, probably not a good one :) Is it possible that PK just out of fear (other things may happen) that she bolted and is waiting till Val's killer is announced?? Hopefully by then she'll show up again.

Response: Excellent tip.


Fri Mar 14 16:28:37 1997

Armstrong
In the pictures Knight looks as if she was crying.
Have you or can you look at the phone record and see who she was talking to?

Response: We are examining those records. Expect to see them.


Fri Mar 14 10:55:18 1997

Is the suspect in jail right at this time or all the suspects dead? When I read this it seems that they are!

Response: The suspect(s) have been apprehended.


Fri Mar 14 09:19:18 1997

just one quick comment, do you think it's poss. Vals body was mutilated in that
way because of the fact that fanatical anti-abortionists were harassing her, and killer thought it might
"throw you off"? [email protected]

Response: Yes.


Fri Mar 14 08:47:19 1997

Ok i understand she is still missing,when and where
was she last seen at,or whats the time line look like
from the run @ her house,to her missing,you think she
might have just went underground to lighten up the
heat off of her from val wilson murder?

Response: She was gone the next day. No contact with family or friends. She may be hiding and might return after April 1st.


Thu Mar 13 09:53:00 1997

Dear Det. Armstrong:

Just like Val Vilson's case...bizzaarre! I have a hunch Purity knows all too well who it may have been or who was behind it. She may well be hiding out until the release of Val's killers identity on April 1st. Until then, you only have the camera and film to go by. The camera has serial #, of which can be traced to a point. If bought from private party, no luck. And the film is Kodak Ektar I believe. You may want to see how much was bought at the store you mentioned, because not too many people buy 1000 ASA film. Maybe for projects in class, but that is even discouraged if anyone knows photography...Ektar is too grainy. It is an old film technology. It's already obsolete. So maybe seeing how much was bought in area, and maybe then narrow down by check and credit card purchases. Same thing with the camera. An Olympus om10 is an old camera. Something again a student may have bought...possibly at a pawn shop. You may want to check the serial # with them as well.

I hope you guys find Puirty OK, and maybe this yahoo in the trees. From the one picture, it looks as if the cat is staring right at him. Too bad cats can't talk or you can't see reflection in his eyes.

See ya guys later. Keep up the good work.

Mike

Response: The serial number is traceable. Low light film is fairly common now. The Walmart sells several rolls a day. We aren't too hopeful there.


Thu Mar 13 04:41:05 1997

who is william giblin?

Response: Greg Giblini's brother.


Thu Mar 13 02:59:35 1997

Did Lee know Valarie? Did she ever attend classes
with Valarie or acted in any production with her?

One of the photographs recovered from the stalker
shows Purity sitting, leaning forward with something
in her hand. What is in her hand?

Have you contacted Purity's parents regarding her
whereabouts? Does Lee know any of Purity's college
friends? Do you? Have they been interviewed or any
of the people at the animal clinic?

Response: 1-Yes, Lee and Valerie knew each other. There may be a photo of them together. Lee is looking for it.
2-We are checking into the identity of whatever Purity held in her hands while being photographed.
3-Family Co-workers, and friends have been contacted. No one has heard from her.


Wed Mar 12 16:15:47 1997

If valerie bled internally from the gun shot then why then was there blood on the pillow?

Response: Not much blood for a head wound. Mostly she bleed internally. The small caliber bullet went in, leaving a tiny entry.


Wed Mar 12 16:08:00 1997

If valerie was found at 6am then wouldn't the cat have little or no blood on it because cats continually clean themselves, considering valerie was found four hours later, even though in one repeort it said that the time of death was four am.

marie, tacoma,wa

Response: The cat's name was Pig, named for its failure to clean itself. Seriously, the blood was dried and not plentiful.


Wed Mar 12 16:05:39 1997

1st What were the actual circumstances of the disappearance of Purity? Did she just not come home one night or what?

2nd Are there any other suspects that have surfaced after interviewing Purity's classmates and friends? Maybe a check with some of the tabloids to see if they had a stringer following her might help. (She did appear in People and one of the tabloids might be looking to sell some papers.)

Good to be back in the hunt.
[email protected]

Response: 1-She left early the next morning for classes and hasn't been seen since. No sightings of her by anyone.
2-A media person following her would have been noticeable in Oxford. We are, however, checking to see if any were in the area. Thanks for the tip.


Wed Mar 12 15:54:08 1997

It was said earlier that you interviewed joel shenton twice, but no where does anything prove that, why?

Response: Only one in depth interview was conducted. We have had several conversations with Shenton.


Wed Mar 12 15:49:45 1997

why did you say earlier that lisa wood was an "evolving" witness but then you said she has no motive or desire to commit the crimes? why did you suspect that and then do nothing about it?

Response: Initially, she seemed to be holding back. Her answers were evasive. Moreover, her iron-clad alibi during the Vilson killing took her out of the picture.


Wed Mar 12 10:28:03 1997

Why are you wating until April 1 to give the answer--some kind of April Fool's joke?

Response: Several reasons:
1-To allow the web viewer an opportunity to solve the crime.
2-The victim was found dead on April 2. We wanted to offer the solution on April 2nd--but found April 1st a more memorable date.


Sun Mar 9 14:45:47 1997

Her bio says Purity attended Reed College on Portland,OR.But her I.D. is from Ole Miss. What's the deal???

Response: Ms Knight attended Reed her freshman year. She went to a Kibbutz over the summer and attended University of Mississippi during the Spring semester


Sat Mar 8 14:02:04 1997

Was there something unusual about Valerie's face at the time the body was found? Clown or stage makeup perhaps? If so, what do you think of this. Do you see a link between the bathing of her body and the fact that W.G.'s body was found in the tub?
-kcole

Response: Yes, there was something unusual about her face. Perhaps its time to share what that was.


Fri Mar 7 14:54:42 1997

#1 Do Valarie and Purity look alike?
#2 Could someone think that Valarie was Purity?
#3 Did Purity have an affair with Greg and Greg get her pregenant?
#4 Were Will and Valarie messing around and Greg found out so Will had to kill Valarie, then Greg killed Will?

Response: 1-No
2-Not likely
3-They were not well acquainted.
4-That may be a possible scenario.


Fri Mar 7 10:48:20 1997

3-7-97
11:24 AM

----WHAT WAS GREG'S OCCUPATION AND WHAT WAS WILLIAM'S OCCUPATION????? --------KENTON RIDGE HIGH ---STUDENT

Response: Greg was a filmmaker. The other Giblini brothers ran an electronics firm called Rosebud.


Wed Mar 5 12:55:23 1997

When will you announce what the outcome is?
[email protected]

Response: April 1, 1997


Wed Mar 5 09:12:19 1997

Why was part of my "solution" to this mystery deleted from the entrys list on the read out? Initially, my entire solution was visible. Not for public consumption?!

Response: Correct. Sorry.


Tue Mar 4 17:28:21 1997

why would her boy friend kill her?
was she seeing any one else?
do you know his motive?
why was another person involved?
could it have been his lover besides her?
have you decided wether or not it was a man or a woman?
why was she in the kitchen of that lady appt.?
were they room mates?
did the lady that found her know her boy friend?
could she have known the third person?
were there any witnesses?
could he have found out about her haveing any other man she was seeing?
if so, did he know him?

thank you

Response: Too many questions. Investigate more.


Tue Mar 4 17:20:31 1997

how old was her boy friend and how exactaly do you know this.

Response: Greg Giblini was born May 1, 1975. We have his driver's license.


Mon Mar 3 11:21:08 1997

Was William seeing Val on the sly?

Response: Possible.


Mon Mar 3 07:06:36 1997

What's the possibility that her murderer could have been a email pal she met on the internet, say like in a chat room?

Response: Possible.


Sun Mar 2 10:27:20 1997

I know this sounds far fetched, but is it possible that Valerie had a relationship with William Giblini and Greg found out (possibly from Purity)? Val thought she was pregnant- by Will- and she told him the night she was murdered, after the two of them returned from Proud Larry's. Worried his wife would find out, Will shot her- after they had sex. Greg found out that she thought she was pregnant so he went to her apartment to confront her, only to find her dead. Upset about finding her dead and the affair, Greg bathed her ( I have no idea why) and drug her into the kitchen where he mutilated her. If he believed she could have been pregnant, that would explain the placement of the mutilation (womb area). He then splattered her blood on the refrigerator as a form of protest. Greg also suspected Will of shooting Val, so he followed Will to Florida, where he killed him. I know it's farfetched and full of holes, but is there any possibility?

Response: Yes. Very possible.


Sat Mar 1 21:25:26 1997

It has been determined that a different gun was used in each
of the three murders, is that correct?

What happened to Vaskin Kissoyan? Is he a suspect in Greg's
murder?

Thank you.

Response: 1-Correct
2-Kissoyan was out of the country.


Sat Mar 1 18:12:08 1997

Det.Armstrong
Why would boyfreind come have sex with victim then kill victim?That would be to easy.Look at all male freinds who might want a realationship with victim, and did not like current boyfreind.
