Hi, all. I've been getting something out of just listening these last few days. (And I haven't had anything to contribute that hasn't been said many times before.) But I have a few thoughts now.
BBM1: Or, I wonder if the PI ran into what we have run into: That these were SL's only "close" relationships? Remember, SL even brought "Red" home. I think if there were other close GFs (I'm not counting people she hung out with in groups at school), I think her mother would have met and known about them. So whether these were marching orders or what he found, the net effect might be the same. JMO.
BBM-Did Sylvia bring "Red" home? I didn't recall-to tell the truth, I had forgotten about him entirely. Is that because he was described as a casual relationship, and therefore not a factor in Sylvia's universe at that time? I really wonder about that...Could a young woman with so few close relationships really have such a casual thing with a guy she'd been pregnant by? I realize that we're back in a circle here, but there is an answer here someplace. Does Sylvia's brother suspect the fiance for any good reason, such as prior evidence of abuse of his sister, or did he just not like him? For some people, not liking a person is enough of a reason to think they're capable of anything-but we can't look at it that way. Still, being the last person seen with someone who went missing is pretty powerful, and BF/F must have understood that he was seen in that light, guilty or not. In order to eliminate him from consideration, I would like to know that he made some kind of effort to answer some questions, or search for her-something like that. By the way, I think the "3 variations" of his story are inconsequential differences, too-probably nothing.
BBM: Well, there's no evidence of any formal search by anyone really, just a few hours of MMQC and EL making the rounds the day after SL disappeared, and EL hiring the PI to look for her. To my eye, that expectation is a little high, especially when you factor in that (a) he would have had to start or lead the search, (b) something passed between him and SL that upset him, and (c) we know very little about what he did.
As to answering Qs, I think we do have some evidence of that: The three "stories" show he spoke to the PI and LE, and his conversation with MMQC suggests LE was calling his house (at that age, I highly doubt he refused to speak to them, as that
surely would have made him look suspicious). JMO. I know it's thin, but in terms of the available evidence in this case, it's considerable. Also, JMO.
