While no suspect has been officially named, former investigators have leaked several potential suspects like Robert Howard, a convicted violent offender with a history of abducting and assaulting women, and John Crerar, who was convicted in the case of Phyllis Murphy and may have connections to other cases in the Vanishing Triangle. Lastly, the infamous felon Larry Murphy had connections to at least three of the victims.
