Sounds like his girlfriend (not DNV) is the person who was assaulted and held unlawfully. She apparently mentioned DNV to the police which caused the search. All speculation from info on the FB page and the following interview (scroll to bottom) the LE seems to insinuate DNV was not involved.
I think the connection they’re referring to is the family relationship between TT & the arrested man, & due to the type of crimes he was accused of they thought he could have harmed DNV as well as his alleged victim - hence the search. The MIL has been up-front about the family relationship in her fb group.
The interview with MPD officer explained that there is a connection betweed DNV and the property searched. He was clear that MPD do not know where DNV is and that they will continue to pursue any and all leads in their investigation to locate DNV.
Right. Guy who lived at that property & was arrested is JDT’s nephew.
Well that’s a horrible thing for the girlfriend to do. Not blaming her, she’s a victim as well. But to make up a connection with an active missing person to highlight your own is no good. I still find it very coincidental.
I don't get the sense she had to make up a connection as DNV was known to JDT nephew and the police were quite clear in their comments to the press that there was a connection between DNV and that house. That's not the say that the alleged victim/GF/fiance didn't hurl accusations right and left to try and get some help from LE either! She probably did say some things in the heat of the moment but the Police had time to work through the statement and act accordingly so in a way it sounded to me like there was more than a bit of victim shaming going on and in a DV situation that is the last thing in the world that is needed IMO. I don't think any PD would send out 30 officers for nearly 7 +hrs, SWAT, dogs and drones etc. based on an unsubstantiated hysterical plea from a DV victim. JMO and I guess I have to disagree with JDT in this regard as I trust that LE knows how to do its job and allocate its resources appropriately.
I also wonder if the GF could have been jealous of a past relationship JDT Nephew might have had with DNV and this could have fueled some of the anger that kicked off this whole situation. IDK. But when the police described locks on outside of doors to hold the GF then it became clear that the situation was clearly volatile, dangerous and not normal behavior.
I agree. Or it could be the nephew threatened the gf by saying what happened to DV will happen to her. I believe the gf and her being the victim. But I don’t think the nephew has anything to do with DV disappearance. I may be wrong. I still have hope she’s alive.
