Something that should have tipped off investigators from almost the very start that MacDonald’s account was a crock was that when the MPs arrived, the house was dark. (There was no power blackout despite the rain.) Consider JM’s account and then see if you can discern for...
I just wanted to leave a brief follow-up note to point out to any who might have missed it my post (#407) of two notes ago which deals with a substantive matter of what I consider to be of great importance regarding the MacDonald case and is possibly new. (You tell me.) Not long after I posted...
After many years of considering the MacDonald case, an insight recently occurred to me that I don’t recall ever having been brought up before. In retrospect, it seems so obvious that I have to believe that somebody had previously thought of it. I’m mystified why it took me so long...
According to someone on another forum who has made a study of this case, JM doesnt deny that the house was dark when the MPs arrived, only that due to the traumatic nature of the events he has no memory as to why the house should have been dark. He used this same rationalization when confronted...
An insight regarding this case recently occurred to me after years of following it. It must have been brought up by others, assuming the facts of the case (at least in this regard) as recounted in Fatal Vision are accurate.
Dr. MacDonald maintained that after struggling with the alleged...
What do you mean that if it was a hoax the FBI would have cleared it up? How? You think they would have scoured the nation looking for whoever these kids had been? They might not even have been Americans. This is a vacation resort. They might have been Canadian or European.
To all:
As an afterthought to my last post to Phantom, the photos of the boy with a “gag” drawn over his mouth that were mailed to the Florida authorities in 2009 should be, if not already done, sent to (former) Sheriff Rene Rivera of Valencia County, New Mexico. As most here know...
This is from Wikipedia (Tara Calico article):
“Two other Polaroid photographs, possibly of Tara, have surfaced over the years, but they have yet to be released to the public.” (You can read their source if you’re interested. It’s linked below the article.)
Are these...
Here is a news article recounting where and how the original photo was discovered, and it states what I have said all along. There is absolutely no evidence that the white, windowless Toyota van seen pulling out of a parking space where the photo was found on the ground was connected with the...
Phantom,
There is no evidence that this photo was taken in a van or any vehicle. There is no evidence that a van had anything to do with the photo!
The person who found the photo merely said he or she discovered it on the parking space where a van had apparently been parked before it pulled...
Ticox and Carl:
Please understand that when I denied that there was no evidence for the existence of human trafficking in the United States, I was not thinking along the lines of the classic pimp/prostitute relationship and runaway kids. I was thinking along the lines of organized rings...
That is, of course, possible. However, I think it is far more likely that the kids involved were vacationers considering in what town the photo was found, the time of the year, and the fact that no one in the area apparently could tell LE who they were. If the photo was left intentionally as a...
Mr. Ed,
Nice to see you again!
In regard to the FBI dismissing the photo and that the girl was estimated to be 15-16 (while Tara Calico was 19 when she went missing), I derived that from this thread; posts #3 and #1 respectively. I have no independent verification as to the FBI having...
What van?
The recent drawings almost certainly did not come from the (then) kids who took the photo years ago, but from some other idiot or idiots laughing at the cops in Port St. Joe. The photo has been before the public for years.
No, the FBI does not think it was Tara C.. They think the...
Just as the word “assassination” is generally reserved for the murders of politicians, statesmen and great men or women like Dr. King, I believe the word “hoax” overstates the case in this context. This was simply kids (probably siblings) taking a joke shot suggesting...
Please see the second paragraph of my reply #146 on page 6. There seems little question concerning the fate of this unfortunate child, and it did not involve an abduction. The missing child never left the New Mexico mountains where he went missing.
Norest:
I do not know of any case where a photo like this (showing kids who might or might not have been actually in distress) that has publicly surfaced that has been definitely resolved one way or the other, including the many on Mrs. Gosch’s website.
(I personally believe that most...
Carl:
Great work and thank you! Your technical analysis, combined with the observational and psychological input of people such as me and others, convinces me more than ever that there was nothing to this photograph other than vacationing kids clowning around; kids who in their youthful...
