Investigation discovery shows cold serial#
In 1984, Idaho State Police stated that serial killer Ottis Toole had "implicated himself" in the murder of David and was their "strongest suspect", but added that two other men had also confessed to the same crime. Authorities believe it is possible Pearsall witnessed their murders and was himself killed as a result. Investigators initially suspected Pearsall may have been involved in the Nelson-Miller abduction and murders, but later stated that all three had probably been in or near the theater at the time they vanished and were likely victims of the same killer. Investigators were unable to determine a cause of death for Nelson, but determined that Miller had been murdered. The remains of Nelson and Miller were found March 19, 1984, in a rural area 35 miles from Lewiston near Kendrick, Idaho. Pearsall and Nelson had also both attended Lewis-Clark State College. Nelson had worked as a janitor at the theatre before quitting, and Pearsall took her position. They only lived a few blocks away from his apartment, and on their way to the store, they would have passed the theatre and may have even gone inside. Pearsall was well-known to both women and had a "big brother"-like relationship with them. He also left an uncashed paycheck at his apartment and his car parked at a friend's house. Uncharacteristically for Pearsall, he left his clarinet at the theatre. He has not been seen or heard from since. He asked his friends to drop him off so he could do some laundry washing and clarinet practice. Pearsall, 35, also went missing from the Lewiston Civic Theater. Kristina Diane Nelson, 21, and her stepsister Jacqueline Ann “Brandy” Miller, 18, disappeared while walking from Nelson's apartment to a grocery store in downtown Lewiston, Idaho on September 12, 1982.

Several people who were travelling on Highway 95 the day David vanished claimed to have seen a woman who matched David's description being approached by a man in a brown vehicle on the west, or southbound, side of the road just outside Genesee, Idaho. Clothing, other personal belongings, and David's blue 10-speed bicycle were never found. The body parts were wrapped in pages from several local newspaper editions from April 1981, and the remains were hidden inside black plastic bags. The following day, some, but not all, of the bones were discovered somewhere down the river. David's dismembered remains were first found on July 4, 1981, six miles west of Clarkston, Washington, and just west of Silcott Island, in and along the Snake River. Senior student at the University of Idaho, Kristin Noel David, 22, was last seen on a bicycle on June 26, 1981, while travelling from Moscow, Idaho, south on U.S. Christina was also last seen riding her white ten-speed bicycle at the time of her disappearance.
