Rorrer is as guilty as OJ Simpson. However, that first theory very neatly allows the cops to further theorise that the gun she once owned (which had a history of jamming after the first shot) was the one used at the murder. It was just assumed to be crib death. His father confirmed his alibi that they were doing construction work together, putting an addition on the house of friends Tom and Kathy Holschwander, at the time of Joanns disappearance. Trash-talking ex. There is way too much doubt in this case for my comfort. More likely it reflects a relative reluctance to execute females as well as the pendency of what will be the last episode of DNA investigation. Well, at least you managed some sense there when you say that, especially when you take into account the amount of evidence and witnesses which were withheld from the Defence and what appears to be a clear case of evidence-tampering. How about the mix up with the hair and the fact that it was not forensically tested (outside of the one man who compared the hairs through naked eye). And your contention that you (me) as ONE person are wrong, let me say that while you seem to be determined in singling me out as someone whos opinion is one against the rest, is hopelessly exaggerated. A person tried in a court of law and then found guilty is not the be-all and end-all to the case. This is the most ridiculous take ever! But I suppose you havent a clue about that. Microconidia DNA, as long as the strand is one inch long they can pull the DNA from that. That documentary points out that, despite the bodies of the two victims supposedly being exposed for several months, their condition remained relatively undisturbed by weather or animal activity.

Andrew also stated that when Pat called and Joann answered she had instructed her not to call again because they were married and they were happy. DNA tests showed that strands of hair at the crime scene and in Joann Katrinak's car matched Rorrer's hair. False. A lot of these documentaries feature most of the theories suggested by the cops and prosecution which were most damaging to her case, but not a single person to substantiate Rorrers side, or to challenge their versions. She returned to North Carolina in 1991. They retested the hair for DNA evidence with updated technology definitely Patricias hair case closed. It has very bad energy. I hope she suffers and goes insane from loneliness. Mrs. Katrinak had been shot in the face and . I would have liked better her being put to death! Rorrer killed these two people in cold blood and the jury got it right! You have permission to edit this article. Wow. She didnt need to have owned all the guns she ever used, nor to have owned the gun she in fact used. We should be skeptical of those, like you, who suggest its obvious a jury got it wrong that you know better than 12 people presented with the evidence. Search is on.

Red-faced and crying, the tall woman wore an orange-and-white prison jumpsuit, flip-flops and ankle chains. Some two years into the investigation of Rorrer, a court order was obtained to remove hair specimens from her. The hair evidence is not compelling because theres a very good possibility that the evidence was compromised. How is it that these women are paroled? Also why if beaten with a gun or with whatever, why was there no blood on the clothing? Username. Her alibi about going to the club, called Cowboys Nitelife, got fuzzy when investigators discovered she hadnt signed the guest book on that day. They allege that the North Carolina resident stealthily drove 500 miles to Pennsylvania and killed out of a sense of deadly indignation. Your email address will not be published. Stop trying to prove that everyone who is prosecuted is rightfully prosecuted. Fact is she wasnt and all of her alibis were proven to be lies. So whats your point (other than many people are stupid and you arent)? The evidence was all there. Its definitely getting rougher every day, Andrew told the Morning Call. And then in their zealous efforts to show their ire, feel the need to suggest anyone who supports her is deluded. PS Speculative lies is meaningless. Nope. What has that to do with the point youre trying to make? Theyre more than happy to exaggerate and speculate the details of the crime, which serves to attract more viewers who (like you) seem to be happy to believe it all.

The phone wire was located at the opposite end of the basement, which was dark. I deduced my opinion to be fact because of what Ive read and seen and is supported by evidence which was never disclosed at her trial. Anyone who thinks this psycho isnt guilty needs to take off their tin hat. They noted houses near the murder scene would have heard a gunshot in December, when no farm equipment is making noise, and question why the murderer didnt just kill Joann inside her house instead of risking being seen in public in her car. Im inclined to think both Rorrer and Routier are guilty. Hoist by my own petard! Its his hair (dirty blond and roughly 8 inches in length) that was found in Joanns hand. The police considered the possibility that Joann ran away, a theory disputed by her family. She got 12 months of probation for shoplifting at a Walmart in Lexington, North Carolina. Hashtags such as #FreeTopG and references to Matrix opposition have flooded social media since the influencers arrest in December. Some lawyers call microscopic hair analysis junk science that today wouldnt qualify as evidence in a trial like Rorrers. She will be in jail for the rest of her life and rightly so. No other suspect has existed that would have a motive to kill Joann. Charles Robert, the 3-month-old son she had with Gary Gabard, died of sudden infant death syndrome; Patricia found him blue in his crib. However, while sticking solely to the Rorrer case, the issue of the husbands alibi is very much open to doubt if one takes into consideration what the documentary, STARZ-The Wrong Man (in two parts) has revealed. Oh, and she was so obsessed with him that she started dating and found herself a boyfriend that was not only younger, but much more attractive than Andy? As to blood splatter, at a far enough distance, a .22 isnt going to leave much blood splatter, and there probably wont be an exit wound, it will just bounce around the skull, and you dont have to make someone bleed to beat them, and several months in the elements is plenty of time to wash away some evidence as well, although luckily not all.

He gave an audio interview to the Wrong Man investigators when they made a surprise visit to his house, but he declined to appear on camera. The fact that Joanne was found with a hair clutched in her hand that was inconsistent with both her and Patricia (that they conveniently didnt bother to test).

Joanns first husband, New Jersey construction worker Michael Jack, who had reportedly abused her during their marriage, also had a solid alibi. . Even though Joanne was supposed to take her mother-in-law for Christmas shopping, she never showed up. From my point of view this is an extremely similar case, with less class and style, and without the luxurious details that Interpols case had, such as the involvement of an extremely expensive Alfa Romeo car, and a revolver bought at a lush auction in Paris, which had belonged to a duke before the incident. Patty was soooo obsessed with Andy that she moved away to North Carolina some 5 years before this happened, right?

I attack only those whove considered themselves not only judges on this case, but go on to vent their spleen aimed at a person who in my opinion is innocent of this crime, based on all Ive read and watched without fear of retaliation If they so freely attack someone in the most vicious way, why should they be off limits?
