Reflecting on Curtis's case, I can't help but feel for his family—especially considering how many unsolved cases Joliet has been grappling with in recent years. It's unsettling to think that someone could just vanish from the scene after such a brutal act. The mention of the brown Carhartt jacket sticks with me—it's a unique detail that someone might recognize. For Curtis’s loved ones, I imagine it must be unbearable not to have closure for so long. His legacy as a caring family man and dedicated worker deserves justice. If anyone from the community remembers anything from that night, now more than ever is the time to speak up. Curtis’s voice may be silent, but we can still advocate for his justice.
Hey everyone, I've been following the tragic case of James Davis Waddell, and something that's been on my mind is the description of the suspect. It's concerning that the suspect, seen in a brown Carhartt jacket, vanished so quickly without being identified. This happened at a fairly busy intersection—McDonough and Ottawa Streets—which makes you wonder how someone could disappear so fast.
I've read about the environment around that area, and it seems like there are quite a few businesses and possibly surveillance cameras nearby. I hope the investigators have checked for any CCTV footage that might help piece together where the suspect went after the shooting.
Curtis was loved by many for his big heart and dedication to his family. I can't imagine the pain his loved ones are enduring, and I sincerely hope that they find the justice they deserve soon. If anyone here has any tips or additional info, even if it seems small, please contact the authorities. Cases like these can sometimes hinge on the tiniest detail. Let's keep Curtis and his family in our thoughts. ?
Hey everyone, I came across the case of James Davis Waddell and noticed something that really makes it stand out—the witness reported someone fleeing in a brown Carhartt jacket. I keep thinking about how distinctive that might be, especially at night. Anyone from the Joliet area remember seeing anything that night, or maybe someone who matched that description? It's been nearly seven years, and it’s frustrating to think that such a key detail hasn't led to any leads. My heart goes out to his family who must be waiting for answers. Let's keep talking about Curtis’s story and share what we can to help bring some closure to those who loved him.
