Yes, 160 acres is enormous. Off the top of my head, a search of a farm several years ago in the Okanagan led to the discovery of the young woman's remains (something else made police suspicious of the farm), but no one has been charged. It isn't strong enough proof of what happened. Possibly because they can't rule out the possibility someone else left the remains there, that would be sufficient to create reasonable doubt in court.
In a 2nd YT video Lourdon Arts read an email from MS's mother saying she was very careless with her large collection of costume jewellry rings, her mother often found them left in odd places around the house, or dropped out of her truck, and she didn't consider them important evidence.
I think in this case it's a bad sign..... I think it does hurt the case for already a long time now.
Exactly! Well said! The past year in Vanderhoof has been quiet, like it never happened. For those years, her face was everywhere. People were always searching and looking and organizing the poker rides etc. Now, nothing. Not a word. No more poker ride, no more billboards, no articles, nothing.
There is info on the cell phone on various sites. , it outlines calls and texts made as well as the time. Her phone stopped pinging (8am) as I recall there was only one tower in the area and that was the only tower it pinged off.
Thanks, did you make that, or get it from some kind of research site? Is there some sort of discussion about what it implies? I'm guessing the idea is, her phone would have switched to a different tower if it had been on and it went to where her remains were found.
Interesting what her mom said! I got a different impression...IIRC, I thought it was one of her friends that said 'she wouldn't go anywhere without her rings' but I am foggy and should find the reference for that to be sure I got the info right. JMO there...
That is a lot of land and seems a small miracle she was found out all. I'm glad the dad called LE as this could've not been found out at all by the sounds of it.
A little media pressure would be good to spook someone too, maybe just maybe.. someone would get paranoid, crack and confess. Wishful thinking but I would love to see the media be used to make someone sweat.
I seem to recall a comment made about Madisons rings too. Can't remember who said it or where I got that from but you're right. I'm wondering if she took them off in case they cause a callous while she was riding or something?
I created the image from the cell tower registry. As I understand the information , the phone only pinged off the tower closest to Vanderhoof the whole time and up until just after 8am. I assume that the cell tower would be the same for the location of her remains as it is closer to Vanderhoof. The cell phone might have stopped transmitting because the battery died or because it was destroyed
As I recall , it was Jodie that said about “ not going anywhere with out the rings” it was in the dateline interview
Thanks.
However, she and Jodi were not close friends, they'd only got together in order to share a tent that night. And I didn't find Jodi to be the sharpest tool in the shed.
Early in the investigation LE said they “ have everything they need from the phone” I hope that means they can tell that type of data
I have always thought that meant she either left not of her own accord or that she had intended on returning with in a minute or 2.
The last people to leave the party are important because anybody who leaves up until that point would be unaware that she is there by herself. Fro was planning on staying, but changed his mind at the last minute.
Again I'm foggy so excuse my lack of details here...and this is just my hypothetical thoughts/questions:
Ok - so I assume Fro has told police who else was still there, besides Madison. I wonder whether he told them everyone else was gone? Or were they for some reason keeping track of everyone who had left, including Jodi?
