Fireworks is used as an idiom for an exciting event in general. That's likely the case here.

High visibility orange tie-downs would be a fairly useful thing around a hangar I'd think. You really don't want to forget they're attached to a plane and damage the thing trying to move it.

This is called "false-consensus effect." ;) People react in a variety of different ways to the same things. It isn't usually weird.

Just to interject for a second here, because it's semi-relevant. I came through the Sweetgrass, MT border crossing in 2008, and had actually stayed in the US two extra days because we left our passports at a hotel and had to get them couriered up to where we were staying. When we got to the...

Yeah, the RCMP tend to give themselves a bit of a buffer zone in murder investigations. It's actually sort of depressing, come to think of it, that I've been detoured by more than one of them.

I don't hope the police find anything but the truth. If the objective truth is that there's a body somewhere, no amount of hoping for something else is going to change that. She's either alive somewhere, which would be really nice to find out... or she isn't.

Interesting thing about confessions: http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/articles/open-courts-and-publication-bans So an accused can apparently confess, plead not-guilty and go through a full trial and the confession is automatically not allowed to be published.

Publication bans are a strange animal. http://www.priv.gc.ca/media/sp-d/2011/sp-d_20111109_e.asp Anyone can physically go to the court to witness the proceedings. They are not, however, permitted to then publish what it is they have witnessed.

I don't see why you're arguing a relatively moot point against multiple people who you have no reason to believe haven't actually made the actual drive in question. Enter the addresses into Google maps and you'll get the correct number by way of road which doesn't include 15km extra of driving...

No, that isn't the difference at all. That page calculates the distance from the center of Winchester to the center of Ottawa. South Keys is near the edge of Ottawa closest to Winchester. It's 15 km from South Keys to downtown Ottawa.

60km from Chesterville to South Keys, not from their home. That's closer to 45, though most people would just round down, call it 40 from Winchester and say 30 minutes averaging for red lights/a bit of speeding.

*rolls on the floor laughing for 10 minutes* That's very... optimistic.

We're probably just overthinking the quote. It's a nice round number for a random drive. The original story was that she was just going for a drive, not out to do anything in particular.

Hold on... The driving times people were throwing around on the last page (40-45min) are unrealistic. The speed limit is 80km/h, and having made this very drive numerous times I can tell you despite that most people would rather go 90-100km/h and as such it wouldn't be unrealistic to try to make...

Maybe, but it's SOP for people accused of a crime aggressive in nature. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Lise-Anne I know you're trying to be helpful, but generally speaking posting information about people who have not been named as POIs by LE here needs to be limited to their specific involvement in the case. Ms. Rabinovitch's life should be considered off-topic at least at this point.

Awfully weird of him to show up at people's houses on foot for a test drive if he wasn't involved in something. Just sayin'.

Possibly. But we should probably nip speculating on that in the bud here before the mods do ;)

Just IMO when covering something up, doing something normal people would find hard to believe in the process would be a good way to go about it. I believe someone had said he waited a full day to report her missing. Plenty of time to walk 32 miles and do several other things IMO (if that's true).

Unless someone: Preferred taking back roads. Left something in Chesterville that they needed to pick up. Really good gas price in Chesterville? Wanted to decrease the chances they would be seen by people in general. Wanted to avoid going through Winchester (or rather, past the Tim Horton's on...
