I’ve been reading through the details of the Consolidated Road murders and something that puzzles me is the timeline leading up to the night of October 30, 1987. Melinda Newcomb had been at The Stable bar before everything went down. It's so sad thinking about how she was just doing a good deed by offering a ride home to Donnie Marker. I wonder if anyone at the bar that night might have seen or heard something unusual. Maybe there were conversations involving David Smelser that might shed light on why he appeared to be the primary target. It's been so long, and I feel for all their families who are still in limbo without answers. Especially thinking of Melinda’s sister Becca—when someone you love is taken so senselessly, the not knowing must be torture. I genuinely hope someone who was at The Stable that night remembers something, even if it seems insignificant. Every small piece might help connect the dots. If anyone knows anything, please come forward. It’s never too late to bring justice for Melinda, David, and Donnie.
