Both of those for sure and probably a handful of attempts to exclude evidence.

And on that note, Happy Women’s History Month to all the ladies in here. It really *bleep* sucks that we have to consider every possible scenario that could have bad results, but a good reminder, nonetheless (in case regularly reading Websleuths hasn’t taught any of y’all this already). :(

I’d put money on this being heard outside of Oakland County. There will be a motion right off the bat to change venue. I’m 99% sure.

Early last year. Her sister passed shortly after. Very sad. So young. Oops. mrspecific beat me to the punch.

It’s not unheard of if there is a series of crimes from one offender. The state has been involved from the get go — remember, there were like 8 agencies working on this. If there was a crossing of county lines, it kind of makes sense. Politics also matter.

Yeah, it seems weird but whatever. Let him have whatever attorney he wants. It’ll reduce the likelihood of an appeal down the road... except for that he seems a bit incompetent and that’s worrisome. Let’s just hope he doesn’t do anything in these initial stages while FG is awaiting a new lawyer...

Not to make this about anyone besides Danielle, but I wonder why the press (or AG) hasn’t mentioned her brother at all this week. I took a break from this case for a bit so maybe it’s already been discussed. At any rate, I sure hope he’s doing okay. They’re all so strong.

It also helps that the current AG isn’t more focused on her upcoming election... Schuette should have intervened a year ago, imho.

Umm... I’d normally say Oakland County but I don’t think it would have been held in Oakland County anyway because of the publicity. Any attorney worth their salt would ask for a venue change. Wayne Co. special prosecutor would typically travel. It could be Wayne since he’s got connections there...

Highly doubtful.

Well, I would generally agree with you but if the flip side is getting closure by learning the details and having her body, I think they will offer a plea. I know the definition of premeditated, and yes, it fits, but 2nd degree is still usually at LEAST 20 years, and he’s already in prison for...

He will probably plead down to second degree murder. First degree is hard to prove on circumstantial evidence alone but it’s a great prosecutorial tool to get someone to give you information they’d otherwise not give up since it comes with a mandatory life w/o parole sentence.

Yes, and if that's where she is, we should all start counting down the days until hunting season because that'll be the best chance to find her.

Slingers on Farmington Road in Livonia.

Nah. They potentially could but even if they win, it wouldn't be worth it and there's an argument to made for the mass publication of the photo. Copyright cases are very expensive. I'd still send a cease and desist letter and threaten it. That's likely be enough to get whomever is using it...

That was my initial thought as well... plastic would float after a while. Then again, it's hard to speculate without knowing what was put in it. How large of a person/belongings and was any weight added, etc. Not to get too graphic, but I remember a few cases out of Detroit where the plastic...

Your relative is probably right. We've had SO MUCH rain and strong storms in the area this year. It seemingly would've had to smack against the bridge or shoreline hard enough to crack open a portion large enough for a "human bone" to come out and be found by the people picking up river debris.

I wasn't stating that I believed it was Paige or Franklin, I was simply pointing it there are plenty more cases that are local that could be considered aside from the 5 links posted above my comment. Paige was from Okemos and went missing in Fowlerville while on her way home. She lived around 10...

Paige Renkowski was last seen in Fowlerville, right on 96, which would put her only about 30 minutes away, too.

Have they confirmed whether the remains are male or female yet?
