Hey everyone,
I've been reading up on Carol Lynn Sullivan's case, and something that keeps bothering me is the paint can her skull was found in. It's such a bizarre and specific detail. Does anyone know if they ever traced the origin of the paint can or the specialty automotive paint inside? It seems like that could be an important clue. I read that similar types of paint were used in local auto shops back in the 70s, and I wonder if they ever checked old purchase records or receipts from those businesses? I feel like every little detail could potentially unlock something new in the investigation, but maybe I'm overthinking it. Would love to hear your thoughts or if anyone has come across info related to this.
Has anyone else been following the Carol Lynn Sullivan case? I recently came across an old article that talks about the type of paint inside the can where they found her skull. It was described as a specialty automotive paint, which seems pretty unique. It's surprising that this hasn't led to any significant leads over the years. I wonder if they ever traced it back to a specific manufacturer or if it was a common brand back then. With so many cold cases being solved through new technology, I can't help but feel that analyzing the paint could still hold potential. It makes me curious about whether modern chemical analysis might yield more clues today than what was possible in the late '70s. Anyone have more info on this angle or know if there's been any recent development?
Hey everyone, I’ve been reading up on Carol Lynn Sullivan's case and something struck me about the specialty paint found with the skull. From what I understand, it was a unique type of automotive paint. Does anyone here know if this kind of paint was commonly used in any specific profession back in the '70s? Maybe someone restoring cars or working in a niche automotive field could be linked to it?
I can't shake the feeling that whoever did this knew exactly what they were doing and might have had access to materials not easily found everywhere. It could be a potential lead that got overlooked. Even if it's a long shot, diving into old industry catalogs or trying to track down suppliers from that era might turn up something.
If anyone has any info or resources on this, especially those familiar with the automotive paint industry in Florida during that time, it’d be great to hear your thoughts.
