Some memory-refreshing, and newly released details, and pondering...

^ Murder victim Celina Cass / Mugshot of suspect Wendell Noyes (stepfather)
LE's been very tight-lipped about the investigation and Noyes only made public statements a few times after Celina was reported missing (he told her to get her butt home) and then after she was found dead (he said he didn't have a clue what happened to her).
Wendell Noyes doesn't have a terminal illness, but he was reportedly diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic in 2003 and was at a state mental hospital when he arrested on Monday. Mags could be right that he confessed to someone or he let something incriminating slip there.
It's also possible that Noyes checked himself in when he felt LE heat was coming down on him again, like he did shortly after Celina's body was found. LE reportedly searched the trailer he was living in back in February of this year.

^ Kevin Mullaney, the son of Louisia's ex, lived with the family and had a warrant out for drug charges in another county when Celina went missing. He was 22 at the time and told the media that he considered Louisia his mother and 11-year-old Celina his sister. Louisia and her other daughter Kayla moved in with Mullaney and his dad for a while after Celina's murder.
Nearly five years ago, Kevin Mullaney told investigators and the media that he wasn't home the night Celina went missing; he said he was driving around in his truck with his friends. He was indicted and convicted in June 2012 of forgery for writing a $250 check from Louisia and Noyes' account, along with illegal possession of a firearm by a felon, receiving stolen property, and reckless conduct. The judge gave him 4 to 6 years.
Now we know Celina drowned; she was not dead when she was submerged in the river. I haven't seen anything to indicate that she had signs of injuries or trauma to her body, but I'm curious about whether she did or not.
If Noyes' arrest wasn't prompted by something he himself revealed, I'm wondering if after a few years behind bars, Kevin Mullaney gave up some information (to LE or a prisoner) which led to Noyes' arrest. I've always wondered if Mullaney knew more than he claimed.
More waiting for details..........but I'm very glad to see movement in this case and hope there's some justice for Celina forthcoming.
