Thanks for your reply.
Imo, none of what happened were coincidences whatsoever. None.
Like all things done by any violent offender each thing they did had a purposeful intent based on their premeditated plan.
So I'm not sure what you mean in not believing in coincidencs. Neither do I, especially in any violent criminal cases.
One of my memories are the wise words of ADA Rick Distaso during his powerful closing in Scott Peterson's death penalty trial.
He said to the jury ' how many coincidences are you willing to believe, and still be able to call yourselves reasonable minded people?'
Of course there is more to this story.
I totally agree, which is always the case in every ongoing investigation.
What I respectfully don't agree with is these predators had to have a familiar connection of some kind. I dont believe that will be the case.
Moo, It's no different in the countless other abducted, and murdered children cases, that were done by total strangers totally unknown to the children or families/friends.
He even used a familiar deception used by other stranger predators of passing out candy.
As for as targeting only Cupcake, it reminds me of 5 year old Samantha Runion who was kidnapped in broad daylight by a stranger pedophile while playing with her young playmate her age in the front yard.
AA could have taken both or one, which he did... taking only Samantha leaving her little terrified friend behind. SR was later found raped, and murdered 8 miles from her home. I will never forget the forensic experts found her DNA inside of the pedophile AA's vehicle. The DNA was found to be from all of Samantha's tears.
