Message is found at girls' memorial near Weleetka

WELEETKA — It's unclear whether a message scrawled in marker on a roadside memorial cross was meant to taunt investigators or be a joke. Either way, it is a stark reminder why people in a previously low-crime area of rural Okfuskee County started locking their doors last month.

‘Interesting new things' may be coming next week
Brown said investigators do not think the message means anything or is of any importance. Brown said the number of people visiting the site makes it doubtful that forensic tests on the cross will reveal anything.
Brown hinted that she hopes to be able next week to share some "interesting new things” and "new techniques” investigators are using in this case, because she said the public should be reminded how hard investigators are still working to find the girls' killers.
"Not every crime is solvable,” she said. "I think this one will be.”
