Scandi, now you've added a new -- and valuable --idea to those that were started by Jules 71: Lindsey might have seen her predator, recognized him as a danger or at least someone who made her uncomfortable, and didn't want to have to keep walking past him. I didn't know until this week that the dogs had picked up her scent going up the hill on 6th Street, and what you've added makes me wonder if she turned around and headed up the hill on 6th when she saw him in order to avoid him...and he followed her.
We just don't know where DG was from 9-ish, when the neighbor said he left the BBQ, and ~10, when his car was reportedly back in town. MOO.
I hope LE keeps an eye on him tomorrow during the search!
Thanks!
Hi Track, It is a corker, isn't it? Did Mr Oakes have 2 dogs, a tracker and a human recovery dog? The reason I ask is if she went S up 6th and was also scented off a logging rd from Beck St {where a death scent was alerted to}, that is going in two different directions. Maybe if she walked up 6th it was when she was alive and taken up off Beck when she wasn't. How far up 6th was she scented?
I think the whole mystery hinges on that area of Maple between 6th and 5th. She was witnessed right there walking past the Beehive. It takes up the whole block between 6th and 7th. From the area between 5th and 6th one can look up the street and see anything happening on Maple, looking W.
If you take a right on 6th from Maple, half way up the block is the entrance to the Center. It could have been where she was picked up. I think she got in the car of her own will as her shoes were not found. The perp would not think to see if she dropped a shoe outside the car, right?
It's real close in that area. You walk to the end of that block of 6th and kiddy corner across the street {or the next house down from it}, is where Jim Mullins lives, and where Fir St on the other side of his house doesn't go thru. We saw that on one of the first TV spots in the case. Why would she walk up 6th? That is a big question.
Could she have seen someone inbetween KK 's house and the Center and got scared, turned up 6th walking fast and stopped at the Beehive to ask Libby N if she could spend the night at her house and was told no, walked back out to the street and back to Maple when she saw a car coming she recognized and was put on the spot when he nicely asked if she wanted a ride home?
I also think the witness who saw her walk down Maple holds the key to what Lindsey saw that might have frightened her. We have read that alluded to and by her own words she was afraid somethng bad was going to happen to her.
I feel so positive that LE knows the answer to this puzzle, who that witness was, where she was when she saw Lindsey and what she noticed that she doesn't want to make public for fear of reprisal. I think the only thing LE doesn't have at this point is Lindsey. And I would think that death scent alerted to up off Beck would be easy to nail down. I mean how many dead people have there been taken up that logging rd? LE would know of all the deaths in the area going way back and be able to place anyone who was missing and never found going back the last 7 years. That is the life of a death scent that can be sniffed by a cadaver dog.
I so hope this weekend will bring answers for LE. I think they are playing a strategy like I've said before. Announce who they feel killed Lindsey so he is in the eyes of the public, then take him off the hook by renouncing his POI status so he is relaxed and might make a dumb comment or move. And also they will sit in wait for some dear soal who now realizes what and who it was they did see that night, and will go to LE. Maybe someone up on Beck rd heard the engine of a motorcycle or ATV for instance when it shouldn't have been there. Who bikes or ATV's after dark? xox
Sorry this post is a bit unfocused. It just grew legs ;}
