36 victims identified by FBI and they still went with a state plea deal. Let that sink in.
The "message pads with names" from the 2005 search warrant is key evidence. That's how they identified many of the victims.
Can you add links to the source documents? Would help verify the dates.
Adding sources now: - Palm Beach PD records: Released via FL public records request, 2019 - FBI 302s: Disclosed in 2019 federal case, available on PACER - Search warrant: Palm Beach County court records, case 05-CF-XXXXX
