Interesting Comments Regarding Pastor Carol Daniels

As a rule I am very cautious about allowing comments that identify specific people as being suspects in the murder of Pastor Daniels. While I have a legal background and some formal training in criminal investigations, I am not nor have I ever been involved in police work and have no interest in it as a career. I do not believe that this blog will in anyway lead to the arrest or conviction of the murderer in the Pastor Daniels case and do not write about crimes usually unless they involve financial crimes and I can back up what I say.

Having said all of the above, I have just received some comments from my original post that I believe are worthy of being repeated. The short of the comments was that there was a serial killer in Alaska who would travel to other parts of the country and had some tendencies that fit with some of the things that happened in the Pastor Daniels case. I had never heard of this person and did a quick check to make sure that he deserves to be considered and he does. In addition, he is dead so he is not being defamed by being considered. Here is what was sent to me"

"Pimpemel, very interesting blog and perspectives on Pastor Carol Daniels tragic murder. I am a firm believer that Good triumphs over Evil and that the light will eventually shine through..
I live in the north GA mountains and am a member of the Websleuths crime sleuthing community. My Nickname on this forum is Foxfire, previously & on other forums; Wolfscratch. For the past 6+ years I have been researching cases where sexual predators/serial killers are indicated.
We have been researching an Alaskan serial killer; Israel Keyes. I am very confident that IK may be responsible for Pastor Daniels heinous murder. There are many threads on IK on the Websleuths Forum. One focuses on the Carol Daniels murder; http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88118&page=9&highlight=israel+keyes

See Wolfscratch's posts on this Topix forum thread. Pay attention too the Discovery ID Dark Minds episode season 3; http://www.topix.com/forum/city/oklahoma-city-ok/TPLAK039MLUU2A033/p5#lastPost
________________
AK SK Israel Keyes traits, etc;
Arsonist; 2 suspicious fires
IK's Preferred firearm 38 Cal-38 cal firearm found in the grass by the gazebo across from the Anardarko Daily News(found by owners of the ADN who gave it to APD) the day of the fire(one day before Pastor Daniels murder) APD did not connect the dots, imo.
IK used chemicals on his victims(forensically aware)
IK's weapon of choice; Knife.
IK was organized and would place kill kits across the US years before committing the murders.
IK, also robbed banks to support his travels(construction co was only a front)
IK was very brazen; ran half marathons, bicyclist, avid hiker.
IK had no victim profile and was bisexual & necrophiliac..

"Israel Keyes was the Devil's Deciple"! IK was an Emulator; a serial killer that copied many prior & added his on twists of creativity to prevent being patterned by the FBI BAU2. The FBI has requested the public's help to identify his many unknown victims. IK was arrested for the abduction/murder of Samantha Koenig(AK), but later committed suicide in jail and took this info to the grave rather than share it..

Now, I have always believed that the killer was from Anandarko; but, Mr. Keyes could be the type of person who could have planned it while driving through town based on his history. I will watch the video and read the articles and come back with my opinions.

UPDATE:

I want to thank the people at WebSleuths for taking an interest in this case and I know with my heart that the family of Pastor Daniels will also appreciate their efforts. As this blog is not a crime solving blog, I have not reported some of the more graphic details; but, I have read the autopsy report online. I have received a few views and comments from people who are members of the WebSleuth site over they years and have found them to be concerned and courteous. For members of that site that visit my poor little blog, I send my best wishes. I do not usually provide links to other sites which discuss the case because many of them degraded into Christians attacking Atheists or Atheists attacking Christians, I find the WebSleuth site to be better than many of the others and yes, I have visited the site in the past to see if there were any updates.

After receiving the most recent comments, I started this post and then paused as I was going to dinner with the leader of the church that I preach at and didn't have time to go and read the links that were provided to me before dinner, so, I came back and read them all. I am posting these comments as I do know that Pastor Daniels family has read my blog in the past and I also know that the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation knows about this blog. I believe the issues raised by Foxfire deserve to be considered and found many of the details interesting.

Of particular interest was the Mr. Keyes going to far away places to commit the murders, his use of chemicals, his use of a knife, his arson and his following natural disasters. While I find Mr. Keyes worthy of consideration, I have to remind myself of a couple of things. Firstly, for years Zodiac Killer researchers openly stated that the Zodiac was a man named Arthur Leigh Allen and the evidence was all circumstantial. By the time the DNA evidence was analyzed it showed it was not him (same for the palm print). Secondly, nobody believed BTK was still alive when he resurfaced and all 40 years of profiling by the FBI was all wrong.

Here is what I believe. I believe that crimes are not solved by understanding motive, I believe they are solved based on evidence. In the case of Pastor Daniels we are talking about a very small town in the middle of nowhere. While there is a casino on the road, it is also very small and miles away. Why do I mention this. Well there are some very small towns (like Baker California) that are on the road to Las Vegas and because of that are constantly being driven through by hundreds of thousands of people, I don't believe that is true for Anandarko. I find it hard to believe; but, not impossible, that the killer was from outside the area. Having said that, the case cited by Foxfire could just be that exception and deserves being considered.

The well being of the Daniels family is always on my mind when I post about her, in fact it is my priority. I don't see my blog as contributing to solving the crime and do know that the OSBI has put a cold case expert on the case, they have not forgotten and care. I don't expect them to release all the information that they have and understand that. The issue is not figuring out who did it, it is in proving it and getting a conviction.

UPDATE 2:


Nope, I have thought about it and Mr Keyes is an unlikely candidate. One of the problems begins with the 38 Police Special. Pastor Daniels killer used a knife exclusively that we know of, no shots were fired. It would be very difficult to hold a gun in one hand and kill someone who showed defensive wounds with a knife in the other hand while they were screaming in pain. The gun found after the arson in Anadarko is not related to the killing and I am not even convinced that the fire is related. The biggest problem is how Mr. Keyes would have known that the church Pastor Daniels was at would be empty on that day, on a Sunday. He couldn't know that just from driving through town once. The person who killed Pastor Daniels had been inside that church and knew that it was very possible that nobody would be inside other than Pastor Daniels.
