Bracelet discovery links Bohrer to Allen case in Oswego
Defense argues the unexplained return of Heidi Allen’s gold bracelet, allegedly from suspect Michael Bohrer, ties to three possible suspects in the 1994 disappearance. Melissa Searles says a bracelet appeared in her mailbox 10 years ago, later given to Allen, with court papers seeking to have her testify. Allen, 18, vanished after being at a New Haven D and W store. Thibodeau has served 20+ years for kidnapping and presumed murder.
