H Salem - hard to tell what patterns he was following, I'm not sure we know enough about his past patterns - maybe texting and driving around town.
His texting on the night of June 16th abruptly stopped
His driving the loud car through town abruptly ceased (maybe he was out of town)
He was spending time with his girlfriend (for a long weekend in July - was he no longer working at the Youth Camp)
He stalked mom Baum (I doubt stalking is new behavior for him) mho
Couple things that don't make sense: If he is indeed the perp who took Lindsey - why would he stalk mom Baum and risk being stopped.
- If he took Lindsey why would he stay around the crime scene to be seen/heard at 10p that same night. Unless he took her right into the Bee Hive, perps don't usually hang around their own crime scene (this sighting continues to bother me).
Time-wise his ceased texting and being seen near the Beehive can't be ignored. Maybe he's an incredibly stupid criminal who has had mom to bail him out of trouble for the last 9 years. all just my opinion
Hi eyes - I agree about the 10:00 p.m. sighting, however I don't think it was at exactly 10:00 p.m. According to the affidavit: "He also told investigators that on the night of June 26th 2009 at about 10:00pm he saw a small white sports car with loud exhaust on Maple street in McCleary that he thought was Golder’s." The sighting was about 10:00 p.m. - to me, that could mean anytime between 9:45ish and 10:15ish. If DG met Lindsey on the street at, say 9:27 p.m. and spent 10-15 minutes or so talking to her and trying to convince her to get in his car, then 10:00ish makes sense to me.
Again, this works only if DG did not have a plan in mind. Saw Lindsey while he was talking and only had half an idea in his head. He ends his phone at 9:26 p.m. Maybe turns his car around and pulls up alongside Lindsey. Asks if she wants a ride? She says no. So he parks, gets out of the car to talk to her. They chit chat, all the while his mind is working. After talking for a few minutes, he tries to get her in the car again. Again, she says no, she will walk. Maybe he starts pleading here.... aww, come on, I'll take you straight home. I would think by now were are somewhere around 9:30-9:35ish. Lindsey continues to say no, she better walk, her mom might get mad. He continues to plead - I'll stop a couple of houses before yours so she won't know. I'll even let you drive my car. He can see Lindsey weakening....... so he continues to talk.... trying to convince her, while he is trying to figure out how to get her in his car.
So probably pushing 9:37/9:38... Then, either she gets in the car or he shoves her in the car. I really think he took time to convince her though, because if he shoved her, she would have screamed, unless he covered her mouth. Given that Lindsey is a friendly, outgoing personality who loves to talk, I think if she was taken by surprise, she would have made some noise. The question is, would the noise have been loud enough for others to hear? I think she got in the car willingly, although reluctantly. So, 10ish still makes sense. I wish the witness would have said what he was watching on TV - then we could have gotten the time closer.
As for stalking MB - I can only speculate (like above) about his motive. Maybe he wanted to scare her, maybe he wanted to see where she was searching for Lindsey. That makes me think Lindsey is very close to the BeeHive. I think that area should be thoroughly searched again.
Boy.... I write mini-novels when I post, don't I. Sorry to be so long-winded :angel:
