Murder of Joyce LePage

Flowers reported that Joyce's brother Bruce LePage has largely given up hope of learning who killed his sister.

“he told us that he's kind of given up hope. He isn't really expecting to ever find out who killed his sister”

Flowers found it notable that one of the only tips describing Joyce as distressed came right after she was with Steve Solley.

“one of the only tips in the case file that says Joyce was distressed in the days leading up to her disappearance. is one where she had just been with Steve”

Flowers argued the Bruce theory has holes because a crime involving him would more likely have happened at the apartment than Stevens Hall.

“to me, it makes a lot more sense that if something happened involving him, that it would happen at the apartment”

Flowers noted that Joyce told Patty on Thursday night she would not return to Stevens Hall, contradicting Bruce's early account.

“So Joyce is telling Patty at 10 p.m. on Thursday that she's not going to Stevens Hall”

Prawat suggested the untrusted man Joyce described to a tipster was likely someone like Mike Finch rather than Steve Solley.

“it kind of sounds like she's referring to someone else, like maybe like Mike Finch. It doesn't sound necessarily like she's referencing Steve”
