Has anyone been able to connect the killings to Bikefest? The article said the killings took place "just 14 miles from Bikefest". 14 miles is not close to an to an area. The killings could have taken place in another city. Was someone who attended Bikefest involved in any of the incidents that occured over the Memorial Day Weekend?
