Hi, Charlot. After listening to various true crime investigators (including retired professionals) on YouTube, there seems to be a perception or understanding a gun was used to control the two girls. Then there is the assumption they were killed by someone using a knife. (I remind myself...

Often people do not make a clear decision to cross a line, but as emotions and egos get involved decision making can become less distinctly clear. You and I (we on Web Sleuths) have the benefit of distance and not be that engaged. We can discuss things (all good points, good talking with you)...

Because the conduct of lawyers came up in the thread, here is a synoptic look at disciplinary actions against lawyers in the U.S. When people say X group cannot lie, it happens, as do other things: List of disbarments in the United States - Wikipedia *Human misbehavior is what people do. It's...

Willful misrepresentation is lying. Mistake is one thing, willfulness is something else. Shaping a narrative by omitting something or shading a perception is common, but that, too, is an act of deliberateness. I often think about the squid squirting ink into the water as it is trying to get...

Some people feed off of the adrenaline. It's a function of personality, psychology, and personal biology. Some people have higher levels of resilience, also. An example is of this mix is seen in combat veterans. The stress of combat will break many, but some respond to well to the stress. He...

Your analytical observations and assumptions are accurate within the context of events as we know them. I am humbled by the clarity and simplicity of your assessment and of your writing.

Good synoptic statement. I was open to other things -- crime-related scenarios. Somehow, I couldn't get my mind around either of the other options, the self-harm or tragic accident. However, your comment is true in the end. It appears unknowable at this point. It helps to know when to say...

I think he surveyed the river above the weir, and the body was found below the weir, down river in the tidal section of the river. The police were reported to have searched below the weir, where the body was found.

Good post. Yes, no one wants to be a "conspiracy theorist." However, in percentages, even if it is one, two, or three percent chance of a crime, acknowledging those percentages help shape a more accurate assessment model. I believe, like you, the simplest answer might be the answer here, but...

In the last thread (#16), someone asked what did we make of the body being found where it was. 1. It, the body, was found below the weir in the tidal section of the river. The body was found ten-to-fifteen minutes walk down river from where Mrs. Bulley normally walked her dog and from where...

That is a good and relevant question. A "leak" is different than a release. Leaks are generally held to be unauthorized publishing from some official or semi-official source (government, lawyer, business). A disgruntled employee leaks a the insider correspondence of a corporation, for...

I really appreciate how much thought goes into the assessments people make.

The thing about body language is there has to be a baseline, an understanding of what the person being observed normally acts like. The foundational personality, life trauma, or conditioned responses, all of these can shape how a person will respond, so there may be a range of responses to a...

Thank you for this careful and sensitive interpretation of human emotions as a factor in behavior. It makes perfect sense.

If someone is given to fantastical thinking, where they think they have special stealth skills, or they have other psychic abilities, it might be easier to slip away from reason if there are other triggers. Ninja by itself isn't a problem. Disciplined students of any traditional military skill...

I cannot help but think there is more going on here than the tragic murder of four young people. Yes, that horrible event is the catalyst for the police and other law enforcement response, but -- 60 FBI agents, the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit, the analytical staff behind them, and the State...

Yes, you captured the concept. Task organization. It is common with military operations.

I suspect that the policeman's two years on the job may not qualify him directly to run a complex murder investigation like this, but we don't know what other training and experience he actually has. Being prior military service says something, but not all experience is universally qualifying...
