Yes, the report was clearly rumor, and also clearly did not have anything directly to do with her going missing, so I can see not discussing it in that context. And I did not see anything about the triggering incident -- just that *something* happened. I don't have the impression that it involved the brother, though there's something with a neighbor.
I seem to be seeing things that were moments of strong emotion to Lindsey, from her point of view, so it's not a factual sort of truth but an emotional one. At the point when I'm seeing her, she's not thinking about any family member or specific incident. She's just very, very, afraid of what's going to happen when she gets home. She's also really afraid of the cop.
That's the main thing I'm picking up -- that she distrusts and fears LE. And probably would not turn to them if she was in trouble.
Hi Carbuff, That is true that those comments we all read might have been a bit exaggerated but they were never contradicted that I read, except by a local or two who were extremely close to the case. I discounted their opinions as so much of what they said changed on a regular basis.
With the seriousness of what this gal stated in those very public comments, had they besmirched the truth I can't imagine them going uncontested. Police records for one thing, as every call to 911 is of record. xox
PS: The only dreams I've had are really waking thoughts at lull moments. Over and over I visualize a man who was drinking at the Nelson's that night and what he might have heard and seen re: Lindsey's disappearance.
The man living on the north edge of town, who along with his wife heard the dogs barking off an on all that night when they shouldn't have been and saw smoke rising from the old wine cellar cut into the side of a hill up above his house and on his property, the cellar said not to have even been entered to their knowledge for years, was stymied acc to a searcher who was approached by the couple and asked to be cleared of any involvement in Lindsey's disappearance.
Now isn't that simply a mind boggler? They also had a son who was a friend of Lindsey's brother and was forbidden to play with him because of something he had done in the past, so it is possible the local kids knew about this cellar, BTW, one of 2 in the immediate area.
I can easily visualize her being taken there on a ruse of some sort by someone she knew well, so well she didn't even lose a sandal getting into their vehicle! Relaxed, maybe even excited at a bit of adventure until it turned sour and she no longer could defend herself.
There is much more to the story - it is not a rumor but also is not widely published by the searcher who was approached by this couple out of the blue.
Of everything I have read and learned about in this case it strikes me as a vibrant possibility as to where she could have been taken and held, even if just for a while till she was moved elsewhere. I have also often thought this man overheard or saw something that evening of the 26th while drinking at the Nelson's, he being one of 5 men partying up on that Fri night.
And then with the most curious happenings of the evening surrounding the old cellar that had been carved out of the side of a hill during proabition, a door concealing it's entrance by foliage as like to one could walk straight up to that door and enter the cellar straight on and no one would realize it was even there unless they knew. . . . . . .
Plain spooky if you ask me and it haunts me to this day. :angel:
ETA: It is said that LE did not take the couple's statements to the searcher seriously, Officer Scott I believe saying the man could never be involved as he had known him for many years and I don't believe anything was done about a physical or forensic search of the cellar at that time. Go figure! IMO and hope I got all that correct. ;}
From what I read the FBI was finally sent all the info on the subject. My waking dreams see the FBI and forensic unit descending on the property and I think it was about the time there was allot of LE hubbub and activity up in that area NW of Montesano I believe.
