I had an emergency and had to leave. Listening now and hearing Pat saying that LE knows what they are looking at and the new task force is honing in on TH. Pat says there is clearly a person of interest and that is TH.
The problem is that if TH did this crime, she did the right thing by doing it all on her own. If no one saw her make Kyron disappear, then LE has a problem. If there is no blood, there is no evidence. If she drove him out somewhere and eliminated him there, they need more evidence. They can't go to court and say "we think", the jury wants proof.
In the Venus Stewart case, the perp left bread crumbs. If TH did this, there don't seem to be bread crumbs. They have a problem in this case.
Pat says they need to put a look out to every hunter, walker and hiker to keep their eyes out for Kyron. Usually this is how a body is found when the perp went off road to eliminate somebody. If someone drives in the mountains they put in a ravine, but this area is fairly flat and the body will probably be found at some point. TH couldn't take a body that far off the road because she is a woman. It is a remote area, but not that remote. He is probably not that far off the road.
Oregon weather isn't brutal and it is just a matter of time. Winter may come and go but a body would still remain. LE will have to prove how the body got there and what happened to the body. This is going to be a difficult case unless someone helped her out and got rid of evidence or something happened like little baby Gabriel's case.
Pat thinks it is hard to believe that TH is not still a suspect. LE may have removed some ideas they had from around TH, but they are still looking at TH. Significant movement in the case (per LE) is a good question per Pat. Maybe someone in the GJ gave information that gave them information is what we can hope for. It is hard to imagine what LE's significant movement could be. Or maybe LE just wants the perp to "think" they have significant movement.
Scaling back needs to be explained so we don't think they aren't looking anymore. And they may want to take pressure off themselves. They know what they know, but they don't have enough to take to the prosecution right now. They don't want a million more theories when they know what happened and are just gathering evidence.
Levi wants to know why we have to read between the lines with what LE is saying. Pat says some police depts. are more secretive than others. Pat was impressed they put out TH's pic and the van.
Pat said unless her lawyer ropes her in, she may just say something to someone that helps the case. Levi says she's very into herself and Pat says she's pretty high on the narcissism list and when her lawyer tells her to shut up it will be hard to give all that up to sit in your house by yourself with a muzzle on. LE might be hoping she can't keep quiet and step across the line.
Pat thinks LE heard things about the relationship between Kyron and TH is very sad or that LE might have some information about what really happened to Kyron and it upsets LE. Sometimes people allude to things in certain ways that might have painted a picture to LE.
Pat thinks TH didn't want to show Kyron off to people because he wasn't that important to her.
Pat says TH fits the profile of someone who could commit this crime against Kyron. She is narcisstic, she's moving on with her life as if he didn't matter, Kyron wasn't important to her. When a child goes missing and you know they are dead, it is annoying people keep looking and want everyone else to please move on. That's how they think.
THIS IS NOT A TRANSCRIPTION - THIS IS JUST ME HIGHLIGHTING WHAT WAS SAID ON THE SHOW. PLEASE LISTEN FOR YOURSELF TO GET THE ACTUAL DISCUSSION.
