Do you think this case will ever be solved?

[iluvmua]

I really hope that one day someone finally confesses to the horrible crime.

that is the only way I can see it being solved. I sure have not seen enough evidence to convict however I am fairly new to this crime in particular. IMO

I know what you mean, at first I though KJ might be guilty, but now I'm not so sure. even if Kevin was the one who killed her, He cannot be retried for her murder.

So in a way, I'm hoping that it was not Kevin who killed her.

I think if you can wait long enough and pay attention closely enough, the truth will usually emerge one way or another.

I really hope you are right. She was a wonderful person and deserves justice but maybe I am being pessimistic. I just do not see it IMO

[FDInLaw]

Yes, it is my hope and belief that this case will be solved. . . whether or not justice is served is another question.

I really believe that KJ is the murderer and that he will get away with this. I hope I am wrong but I just see too much evidence that isn't meshing with his story.

LE often times deals with probabilities...
the probability that Nona was murdered by her signifigant other is much greater than say that of a total stranger...I think that was in the mind of the RPD when they began their investigaiton....when they found the palm print it solidified that for them....and they got a little sloppy. I remember reading an article where Det Frost was interviewed and he compared working a murder scene like that of working a burglary....burglaries deal with probabilities as well...the chances of a burglar committing the crime again is very high...so they round up the usual suspect and more than likely that same person had committed the offense again....
although i have always felt that Jones was the murderer, I have since considered the probability that someone other than Jones did it...and while the odds are not good there is still that slim chance that someone with an unknown motive could have killed her. I don't think current investigators will have an easy time proving someone else did it....started with a tainted crime scene and ended with reasonable doubt...

I believe whoever did this KNEW NONA. There was too much anger in this case (in my opinion) for it to have been committed by a strander

[FDInLaw]

A good question to ask again.

How true this is.

Perhaps the killer has a depraved, sadistic hatred for women.

I haven't really posted on this thread before (said lots of prayers for all those involved or not, though ) and read here off and on but something that struck me odd as I read - Is it possible it could be a combo of all of the above?
As a neighbor, Nona may have known her attacker in a casual sense? She may have been neighborly to him and he took it a step further? (I'm thinking on the basis of this Dunn fellow being the guilty party).

I can't help but think back on one of my own experiences, living single in an apartment -I had a neighbor (not much older than me) who was odd and out of sorts. I felt sorry for him and tried to reach out but it was uncomfortable. Anyhow, this guy that lived below me used to bang on the walls all hours of the night and curse his mother to no end. It scared the crap out of me. I complained on end to management and finally decided to move. Just as I gave notice they came back to me and said he was being kicked out. Little to late.

Maybe Nona felt sorry for Dunn and tried to reach out to him? Is this even a remote possibility?

What is known about this Dunn character other than the previous attack?

Thanks for answering and I apoligize in advance for not doing my homework.

Kevin was taking his mother to a Christmas party. Nona wasn't answering her phone so Kevin called his friend, the pizza delivery man, to see if he was in the vicinity of Nona's apartment. He asked him if he could drive by and see if her car was there. His friend called back and said her car was there. Kevin asked him to knock on the door and she didn't answer but the light was on upstairs. Kevin told his mother he wanted to check on Nona before they got to the party.

There was no building super at the apartments.

This is a very good point, One2Snoop. Very plausible.

Dunn was on probation for breaking and entering/burglary when he visciously attacked a woman he did not know on a local jogging trail. He was charged with attempted murder but convicted of assault. He was released from prison after serving two years of his six year sentence a few months before Nona's murder.

So they were on their way to a party and he's calling his girlfriend and getting no reply. Did he see her before he and his mother left or did he pick his mother up on the way?

Dunn had attacked a woman jogging previously. Why didn't the police home in on him straight away?

The sliding glass door at the rear was jimmied open by Kevin after seeing Nona laying on the floor. Kevin was at his parents house and hadn't seen Nona since the night before.

Detective Frost stated Kevin was not his first suspect. I assume Dunn was. Also, Frost may not have known Dunn lived there till the next day. Dunn's mother alibied him and he passed a lie dectector test. Next suspect, please Dunn recently admitted he was at the complex at the time of the murder.

Still hoping!

Grateful that Nona's case got a second look and I'm anxious to hear what they've got on Dunn. I hope in the end we will all know for certain.

R.I.P. Nona

Welcome to the forum Joseph!
The main thread is a good place to ask more questions about Kevin Jones. There is also a thread for Gary Dunn. This is the perfect time to jump in! With the new arrest, we are all waiting for more details. We could sure use some folks that are new to the case!

This is what threw me off the track. I never suspected a stranger or even casual acquaintence for the reason stated by sweetgranny. sololobo, I'm now thinking you may be right (again!) From the little we've heard, Dunn's attack on the stranger at Bona Dea sounds very similar to the attack on Nona. I would love to know more about Dunn's personal history with women.

I think One2Snoop's suggestion that Nona might have reached out to Dunn is entirely possible. I'm also wondering if perhaps Dunn's jogger victim was someone who jogged there frequently. If so, it's possible that Dunn had been watching/stalking her for some time. Maybe tried to make contact and was snubbed? Maybe something similar happened with Nona?

The superficial knife wounds did not imply anger. The previous, visciously inflicted, wounds indicate the knife wounds were not "hesitation" wounds. I see more hatred than anger in the attack.

With sexual assault now on the table, I'm sure the PA will argue that the knife(?) wounds are evidence of the perpetrator trying to control his victim. JMO
