Picture of Mark Gooch: CCSO: Luke Air Force Base Airman arrested for the murder of Sasha Krause

Yes, and now Rachel Lakoduk, October, 2019.

Lol, didn't catch his sister's description. Those are some deep thoughts. I find it difficult to convey sarcasm in writing but that was the attempt. :) I thought he sounded sincere as well, initially. Things have changed. I'm joking around 'cause I really, really want this to be over. I...

Over the last nine years, through the interview with Chase, and through his ex's testimony, I have come to see the warm, compassionate human being in Chase. The true Chase. The one who hides beneath a silent, brooding exterior. In addition, he wears blue shirts well. How can it be that so...

I agree it would probably be a first. But the evidence did not form a solidified picture until after the bodies were discovered. What did the investigation entail in the years preceding the conclusion? Do they take a close look at anyone with possible motive?

Did the police ever investigate the previous owner of the McStay house? Whoever lost the house to the McStays through foreclosure probably lost a large amount of equity...more money than Chase stole. I would assume there would be some hard feelings there. I'm just curious whether the...

Most definitely!

Sad to say I agree with you. I also predict a hung jury. There are probably jurors who are heavily influenced by the fact Chase was arrested, as well as having authority figures testify against him - the inherent bias in the system. But there may several who simply do not see the evidence to...

It's amazing how the word "proof" is tossed around like it functions as immediate dismissal of any possible reconstruction of events based on circumstantial evidence. When the jury retires to the jury room, they are going to have to review all the circumstantial evidence presented and then...

The prosecution has dropped the ball so many times now. It's almost like they put their case together assuming there would be no rebuttal whatsoever.

L & C has removed the McStay trial from the choices of uninterrupted live feeds.

There did not appear to be any cash deposits (winnings) into Chase's accounts. Either he is a crappy poker player, or he spent his winnings as fast as he got them.

The DNA found on the steering wheel is almost certainly transfer DNA rather than being directly deposited. Chase hesitated before answering the question about having driven it. He is not stupid. If he did drive the Trooper, he knew he was wearing protection and felt safe to answer that way...

When "weighting" the evidence presented, it might appear as if dismissal of that evidence defends Merritt, when in reality, it is simply throwing out things that really don't even contribute to the circumstantial case, such as the overdrafts on his account. He had a history of over-drafting his...

It's amazing what an investment in education fails to net in terms of critical thinking. A BS, plus hours of continuing education in multiple disciplines results in categorizing expenditures and a line graph! Woohoo. My analysis of that line graph showed three points where Merritt killed...

No, that trip was a year earlier. The searches were done on 1/27/2010, the week before the family disappeared.

I do not think it was specifically asked. Did previous testimony note whether those bank calls on February 4th were to a branch?

I understood her to say that if he had called into a call center, they would've made notes on his account. But, if he called a branch, they may not have made notes. But I don't think any notation was actually made on February 4th?

Yes, and near the end, it deteriorated into the mutual admiration society. Hearing it made me squirm. I just wanted it to stop.

Are we allowed to know the member name of the poster who was suspected to be Chase, and are his posts still there? I assume you are talking about posts on the private McStay forum. Sorry I cannot attach this to HelenK's post now.
