Scott Ratigan Case: Detailed Analysis

Does anyone else get chills thinking about someone watching this who might recognize the suspect?? 😳 He definitely has some unusual characteristics.

Unless it was faked/exaggerated, that person has a very distinctive walk/run and that typically doesn't change, outside of physical injury/decline. I saw an old coworker from 6 years ago out of the blue the other day and immediately recognized them due to their walk and mannerisms. I'm confident this will be solved.

This person must be known to someone with such a distinction walk. I hope they can be identified quickly and brought to justice. Such a great upload and super impressed with the sun calculation. As always, above and beyond - great work xx

I have total confidence to immediately give a thumbs up before even watching one of your videos because I know it will be outstanding. 👍

I was so thrilled when I saw you put out another one. Always look forward to seeing your work. Well worth the wait.

Just my opinion and observations This person knew Scott and knew him well This person knew Scott was home This person didn't walk in the front door This person knew the cameras were not working This person knew his sister was at work This person knew what Scott's plans were for the day. I think once they got into the building they found a place to change with the extra clothes in the backpack, left the backpack somewhere and then went to Scott's apartment. I don't see Scott opening the door to anyone he knew wearing those type of clothes unless they have a habit of dressing up like an assassin. I find it interesting that Scott was found on the bed. This person made a surprise visit and got Scott in a compromising situation and slit his throat. This is probably why Scott was unable to scream but still had enough life in him to struggle for a bit which would explain the cuts on his hands. The weapon in this case a knife could have been hidden under the mattress on a previous occasion. There would be no reason to use bleach unless you were leaving behind your DNA. A small bottle of bleach could easily been carried in with them. I suspect the knife was also cleaned with bleach and taken with them upon leaving. I'm sure that the police know where the bleach was used. This was a very well thought out killing. I doubt this person had a cellphone with them. I think whoever did this was also running behind schedule because of how they were running after leaving the scene.

I really wish you'd do some photographic/video corrective work of the audio/video captured in the Delphi Murders. Your work on Missy Beavers was incredible.

Since Scott normally worked on Fridays, doesn't that mean the suspect was aware he took the day off? He would have known Scott's schedule. There's a lot of implications there. The suspect on the cameras definitely has bowed legs, causing his feet to turn in. That's an orthopedic problem. I don't think he could get rid of it without surgery. That particular feature is a hard one to hide. People would know him. The police REALLY should have released the footage earlier.

Thank you for your time doing this case (and all cases). I still can't believe after all this time, no one has been arrested. I worked in the block at the time, and though I didn't know Scott, it made me incredibly sad and I have great interest in this case.

I'm only 8 minutes in and I'm SO ANGRY! Why did it take them 1 full year to release this footage? I can't imagine being Scott's parents/family knowing that not even a basic surveillance would be put out there for help from the public. If any of Scott's family is reading my little comment, I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.:( Arrin, THANK YOU for bringing this to light. Even if there isn't much information for creators to put out there, well, they should actually DO the work of digging instead of just reading a Wikipedia and finding easy sources. If you can do it, so can they. It's a shame that this is not better known! If Scott were, instead, a blonde girl/woman, it'd be everywhere.

Just heard of this case through a podcast, can’t believe I never heard of this one before. I used to live up the street from here in Colonial Village. This case is crazy! I can’t believe it hasn’t been solved yet. SO creepy. Thank you for covering this!

So happy you posted. Been wondering how you are and hope it’s all well.

Glad to see you making more videos, Arrin!

That guy has one of the most unusual gait I've ever seen. 😳 You would certainly expect that had that surveillance footage been released much, much closer to the crime, it may have been solved already. 😢 Such a travesty. Arrin, you do AMAZING work 👏, and I appreciate your time and effort to get reports out there to possibly assist in solving these unsolved cases. 🙏💕

Absolutely outstanding work on this! And thank you so much for sharing the method of calculating the time of day in the videos. You have undoubtedly helped many an armchair detective!! Your commitment to these cases is beyond impressive. Stay Safe, Arrin <3

Extensive coverage? Understatement, you’ve been absolutely amazing!

Arrin - I am beginning to want to write down any time I see a person dressed in all black with a mask - and walking or running with an unusual gait. Very intriguing case.

I have a bowed leg, much worse than the individual in the video (Results of a botched knee replacement) and I can tell this individual is not faking his gait. If you look closely at his right leg, you can see where is is actually bowed a bit, trust me, one cannot fake a misaligned bone(s). That would be permanent and distinctive.

I saw this case covered by Sl04N as he went to school with the victim and haven’t seen the case anywhere ever since. Thank you for the great work, I wish there was more pressure to solve.

so amazing work bro. Seriously. All the thoughts and questions I always think of watching stuff that never gets reviewed… you do. So clutch.
