I think if you read back twenty posts on anyone who posts on this forum, a picture emerges of their basic attitude. For some it is always negative, for some it is a know it all attitude. (That would be me)

You have a very positive attitude about the Villages, graciegirl. That's great.
I have enjoyed the almost eleven years we have lived in the Villages and it has been a quiet safe place to work on my 224 613 Project. And I believe I have made wonderful strides with this mainly because of my being here in the Villages. Google Taltarzac725 if anyone has forgotten about what this involves-- mainly the now 40 year murder investigation in the slaying of Michelle Mitchell near the University of Nevada, Reno on my birthday of 2-24-1976 when I was one of her mother Barbara Mitchell's teacher pets at Earl Wooster High School. It does look like they have the right suspect in Rodney Halbower now.
City of Reno : Newsroom Halbower seems to be the main suspect in about 6 to 9 other murders as well in various states.

In the summer of 2014, the Washoe County Crime Lab informed Detectives Fox and Bishop that there was a match to the DNA evidence samples from the homicides, and that the suspect was currently in custody in the Oregon State Prison System. The drive and tenacity of Detectives Fox and Bishop did not diminish with this discovery, rather, their pursuit of justice intensified.
It was discovered that Rodney Halbower had been convicted in multiple states of sexual assault related crimes, kidnapping and attempted homicide. Further, Detectives Fox and Bishop were able to conclusively determine that Halbower was in Reno at the time Michelle Mitchell was murdered.
On September 8, 2014, based on the new evidence and investigation done by Fox and Bishop, Cathy Woods was released from custody after serving nearly 35 years in a Nevada State Prison.
On January 21, 2015, Rodney Halbower was extradited from Oregon to the San Mateo, California jail where he is awaiting trial for two of the Gypsy Hill Murders. Vic Lee, a veteran Bay Area reporter said in a recent newscast that “it was the brilliant work and tenacity of cold case detectives, along with modern science that led to these cases being solved.”
I would also like to recognize members of the Washoe County Crime Lab, particularly Brittany Baguley, for their incredible forensic work in this investigation.
It is with great pleasure that I present the Reno Police Department’s Chief’s Commendation Medal to Detectives Allan Fox and Kathleen Bishop.
