The Aspen Murders Suspect Donny Lee Odell Still at Large

ASPEN. Donny Lee Odell is still at large, despite concerted efforts by a dozen law enforcement agencies across the nation to find him. He appears to have vanished.
“He’s probably in Canada,” said one source, who wishes to remain anonymous. “He used to live in Hayden Lake and Wellfield, and there are plenty of folks up there who would hide him. They’d sure as hell help him get into Canada.”
Wellfield is known for harboring groups with anti-government sentiment, including the white supremacist/secessionist militia group, Defeat Tyranny! Both Donny Lee Odell and Ray Arquette belonged to the militia, although it is unclear whether or not they were in the group at the same time.
Sheriff David Blenman of the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office, gave a press conference earlier today, holding aloft a plastic bag containing a Bowie hunting knife which had been found buried in the carport of the house Donny Lee Odell rented.
Initial indications are that the knife could have caused the wounds to the victims. “We are now awaiting DNA results,” said Blenman. “We’re optimistic about the outcome.”
Luck played a part. Early last week, the water main to the guest house belonging to Doris Clarkson broke, flooding the house. During the ensuing repair, plumbers discovered the knife wrapped in burlap buried in a shallow hole beside one of the carport posts.
“It’s amazing we didn’t find it before,” said an unidentified source with the Sheriff’s Office. “It was only buried about two inches deep. If he’d wanted someone to find it, he couldn’t have found a more obvious place.”

They’re never going to catch him now. He’s probably in Canada laughing at everybody!
I’m reserving judgement about his guilt or innocence.
I still think it was a political hit. Maybe they hired Odell and Arquette to carry out the murders, but frankly, the motive people are putting out there is weak. So what if Tanya Williams and Justin Balough were sleeping together? Is that really an excuse to kill everyone in the house?
Besides, they were taping the show. It wasn’t yet on TV. So it was kind of under the radar.
I think it was a put-up job.
Who’s “they?”
