Connecting The Two Attacks
Many times, detectives from different counties, and even states look to other departments to help with their cases. This time, Jinx Jones, an Albuquerque detective called the Corvallis police department to share his thoughts. He had cases of other kidnapping and rape victims that were blonde and blue-eyed, just like Brooke, but that was too little to go on. But there was a crucial piece of evidence that was able to tie Courtney to Brooke. In 1991, Courtney had a previous record for sexual assault in Washington County, so he had been in Portland, Oregon before returning home to New Mexico. He had been working a job that required him to travel to different states, and the car he drove was a green minivan, exactly like the one mentioned by the two witnesses.
