View submission: My cousins cold case
Wait what, as of 2019 the Clement’s had been unable to locate their grandson[1]! Has your family been able to locate “A” since then? Did Todd ever give an explanation about the child’s whereabouts, did LE ever confirm his well-being?
In 2009 a grand jury[2] returned a true bill on April 13th, finding probable cause for Ball’s arrest. But the charges were dropped in 2011 after the video evidence was resubmitted to the FBI and determined insufficient to stand up in court.

I’m reading that the video evidence was last enhanced by the FDLE in 2011? As of 2024 there has been major advances in technology. Has the video been resubmitted more recently to the FBI for additional testing?
I don’t think Kim’s case is cold, I think it’s considered “solved”, although unprovable. Most likely LE understands Todd did this but the lack of evidence is making them hesitant to take to it a jury. What about the two eyewitness accounts of Todd’s very unique vehicle being seen in front of the home Kim was cleaning on the day she was murdered? This is outrageous.
If you can get a digital copy of the footage captured by the “Happy Store” you may want to consider asking independent Forensic Imaging technologists to have a go with the data that’s available. You can actually find people on Reddit who are pretty skilled at this work. I would share this information on multiple crime subreddits in hopes of finding freelance resources.
I’m sorry I don’t have more to add. I’m local to the area where this happened, and this is the first time I’ve ever read anything about Kim’s case.
There's nothing here!
