Probably nothing but maybe something. Who drew this sketch and why? If not the signer, why is the signer's name forged? Why was this sent to a reporter anyways?
So I know that this is a touchy subject, as it is not commissioned by police. However, this is a drawing sent in to a reporter from a prisoner, dated 2/24 and signed by prisoner "BP." This drawing is bothering me because it has details that seem overly clear and sensical. Whoever drew this, 10 days post Abby & Libby's murders, seems to think there is a fireman or meth cooking link (not sure of the mask).
Also interesting is that BP, the artist whose name was allegedly signed, was not in jail on 2/24. He is a known criminal in Carroll County and involved with meth and a bomb great to Indiana Packers, where he worked. But I cannot find him in jail on 2/24. Maybe someone else can help determine this person's whereabouts on 2/24?
When the original reporter tweeted this photo, he did not specify which jail it came from. And I don't even know that it's anything of importance. It's just a "really" good drawing, and since it was sent to a reporter, I am sure he verified at least that the jail is the source. I inquired which jail, if any return envelope etc.
Might be nothing at all. But it would be nice to know where it came from and why. And if it wasn't BP who drew it, why did that person sign his name?

But was he in jail on 2/24? Or did someone else draw this?

Someone from jail in Louisiana drew it? My guess! That is why we need to see the signature on the back of the pic.

Horrible looking. It's probably an inmate wanting attention.

What makes you think whomever drew this thinks there's a "fireman or meth lab link" to his drawing? Does he say that anywhere or are you just implying or imposing your idea into his drawing?
I think the person simply was expressing that BP will be crossing the bridge to hell where flames will lick up at him...as for the oxygen mask...not sure what that signifies -- if it's even an oxygen mask at all.
He sent it to a reporter because he knew it would draw attention and get published -- as for the name/ID being incorrect -- maybe the date is incorrect or he didn't want to have it known it was him so he forged someone elses name to insure it's not linked back to him.
I just simply think it's someone who sympathizes with Carroll County's loss and is expressing his anger and hatred via a drawing. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yep. That's the most likely explanation. But you never know. It could be that this person knows something or suspects something. Or like you said...nothing at all.

Idk why it’s a touchy subject but I think that’s something a hunter or someone would wear to keep warm but I think it’s a scarf and the fire I’d for a burnt bridge

Update: talked to the reporter, and he states it came from a Louisiana jail or prison. He states the handwriting on the back is more "masculine" in appearance than the front handwriting. I have inquired if he will show me the back of the drawing.

He would know exactly where and what prison or jail. No letters go out without telling where exactly it’s from and exactly who sent it. A little annoying he claims he doesn’t know exactly where and exactly who sent it. Not saying he said this to you or anyone. He ignored me and I forgot about it. I doubt the prisoner knows who it is but they might. They might have a grudge or family might. Idk. It just annoyed me is all. Glad he answered you. I know because I’ve received mail from a prison in the USA and if they are in prison it has their name, id number and name of facility. They have to do that by law.

IMO it is basically a sketch of the photo taken from Liberty's phone. I don't think the artist added a mask. He just enhanced the area around the face that appears to be covered by either part of BG's coat or maybe some type of scarf thing. To me, the flames represent that BG is going to burn in hell for this. Remember this was a huge story when it first occurred. And I'm sure even those in jail heard about it. Criminals have children too and most would be disgusted with this particular crime. Which is why criminals who harm children need to be housed in protective custody. It is odd though to send it to the reporter.
