This episode of The Dead Life delves into the haunting unsolved cases of Lindsay Wells and Mikel Biggs, emphasizing the emotional toll these cold cases take on families and communities. Allison DuBois shares her investigative experience regarding Lindsay's disappearance, highlighting the challenges posed by the original police work and the complexities of gathering evidence. She reflects on the chilling details surrounding Mikel's abduction while she was simply waiting for an ice cream truck, underlining the vulnerability of children in such situations. Throughout the discussion, Dubois hopes that renewed attention and advanced forensic techniques could finally bring justice to these cases. As she recounts her encounters with law enforcement and the families involved, she urges listeners to remain vigilant and aware of the dangers that persist in society.
We don’t know if convicted rapist Dee Blalock had anything to do with Mikelle Bigg’s disappearance. He did have opportunity living in the same neighborhood as Mikelle. He had motive because in 1985 he sexually assaulted a child at knife point, so we know he’s a pedophile. Many criminals commit violent crimes and decide not to leave a victim who can testify against them the next time. Often, assailants start with a vulnerable victim that they can easily overpower like a child or elderly victim. Once, they know how to successfully subdue a weaker victim they move on to more of a challenge. Months after Mikelle’s disappearance, Susan Quinett was attacked by Dee Blalock, he tried to kill her, maybe he even thought he had because she lost consciousness. Blalock’s crimes were escalating, perhaps rape was no longer enough to satisfy his deviant urges. We can only pray that Dee Blalock told another inmate in prison what he may have done or perhaps his family comes forward with what they might know. Either way, mortality will eventually equalize this injustice.
