No problem Thor. My knitting group is going to do a few more private searches over the next couple of months. We have a few prime places Dale could have gone. He had about 42 mins or so that he tried to erase when he "lied" I mean "misspoke" about when Michelle arrived...
The only trouble is he was also missing for hours after supposedly arriving at his parents and he had almost the whole next day to get rid of evidence. This has given us multiple possibilities. Any prime locations you suggest Thor?Any prime locations you suggest Thor?
I'm impressed with your willingness to go out there and actually look for Michelle, and I know this is not the first time ...I wish there were more people like you and your group searching, that to me is the single most important thing one can do to help find Michelle.
Brava!!
Like you, if there is something that I'd be very interested to know it would be where DS was in the hours following Michelle's disappearance starting from when he dropped off the twins, surely one might deduce that he did give an account to the police although he could not corroborate it or he would have had an alibi and therefore not be a suspect. The fact that his lawyer has not hinted anything on this issue makes me wonder although I may understand the
legal logic behind it. However, I also wonder
if did refuse to account for his whereabouts in those crucial times. If so that may explain being a suspect notwithstanding any lack of further evidence ... and with good reasons.
However I don't know it this is actually the case therefore I can't make a judgement call on this issue.
"
he "lied" I mean "misspoke""
LOL Jazz ... I don't think the issue here is whether he lied or misspoke but what
exactly he said, in what context and under what circumstances ... all of which are not known to me to this date other then a
recollection coming from only one side, the various media characterization of the same, and our take on it in this very thread ... certainly none that can be characterized as much in the way of even a circumstantial evidence absent corroboration, or listening to contradictory recollections if available, and perhaps most importantly without an official police account of a statement made to them that can be construed as having been recanted, contradicted, or both. Besides I seem to recall arguing in the past that one may make contradictory statements without intending to lie or that two people may have different recollection or the same events with neither of them purposely lying about anything. In any case, all of it would need to be put in a bigger context and be part of a larger narrative that would include tangible facts to then be able ... say for a jury ... to make a determination on whether that contradiction is indicative of guilt or not, all of which are conditions not present at this time and therefore that is why I remain agnostic on this entire issue.
"
Any prime locations you suggest Thor?"
For people living outside of Florida or even those in Florida but not living in the area where Michelle went missing, I think it's very problematic to pinpoint a location because it's one thing to look at a map and quite another to actually be there and be familiar with the surroundings. However, feeling responsible to not just blow air out of my mouth or as it's more precise the case here, to simply type words on a keyboard, I did volunteer to design a website to be used as a reference point for people interested in doing searches, and I thought that might have been a good idea but apparently wasn't in this instance since I wasn't taken up on it.
ALL JMO
