Your question above -- "How about now?" -- referenced a post of mine from a little while back in which I said I was still not convinced that SM is guilty.
And I'm still not, no. Please understand, this is not to say that he is not under heavy suspicion here! But no way am I convinced yet. I may very well be, at some point, and if I am, forthcoming forensic evidence will probably have a lot to do with convincing me.
About that kind of evidence, I wonder if it is lacking, but ... that is another thing I am in no way convinced of! That evidence may be there in plenty. We just do not know at this point. (I don't, at least.)
As far as the postings are concerned, they are probably the "evidence" that I weight least in my thinking. I see the similarities, of course, but I also see some major differences. The context is way different, for one, and for another, they don't match up exactly, from what I can tell. I don't mean that I don't ponder the postings and go hmmmm sometimes ... just that I am not sure they really are significant to what has or hasn't happened with SM and Lauren.
Thank you for your reply. I was really just curious because I felt we were on the same page for while there, and still.........for the most part, are. I agree with your posts 100%, mine waiver and I wonder if I'm debating myself. LOL.
I agree wholeheartedly, however, his actions in regards to his postings just flabbergast me at the similarities. I also wonder, "how can you go be with your family on fathers day and be so damned normal and plan to or suddenly, sneak up on and kill or dismemeber your neighbor whom you've always been friendly to, to a degree. There may certainly be two sides to his personality, schizophrenia or something as people have mentioned and that I wondered early on as well. But he has been one person with his family and yet another with his peers, as seems to be the case from what i've read. How do you do that if you have a personality disorder that you cannot control. THiese actions, if he's guilty, seem to be controlled, I dont' think you can control your actions so in personality disorders that can be helped with meds.
HOWEVER, Psychopaths KNOW where and when their actions are acceptable or not. And act on it. Look at the others like Bundy etc. Just pure sadistic. I understand psychopaths cannot be helped with medication.
No, I do agree with you and others, we really dont' know about forensics or anthing else that LE may have, as I stated a post ago, I am not thinking positively, I am no expert but I feel that media or someone/something would have been linked if not but a HINT, and I do feel that if they don't have anything significant, this guy is innocent or will walk. JMO!
I go back and forth in my mind too, "surely HE didnt' do this, someone yes, but HOW, without a trace of evidence practically, not possible...... then.......oh yeah he did it! (after reading blogs and other evidence) Hell I have a split personality these days with my own views!!!! LOL
I really do feel for both families. They've both lost someone. It's really sickening to think of what Lauren went through, it's as equally sickening to know that her mother said things arent' getting better, but get worse by each passing day, soemthing to that effect. I imagine for SM 's mother, it's the same, she can still see him though
