TRYING TO PUT A CAP ON THIS...
We (as someone not involved in their first thread on Websleuths) have experience with the initial MSM accounts and how they mislead or paint false pictures. DS and friends have no control over what a reporter includes and does not. Therefore, we often time try to hold off on theories and suspicions. Many outlets compete to be first, these are the worst. And then when a little more detailed report comes out a few days later, we do not assume "the story is changing". It is being reported differently by a different reporter with their own set of biases, agendas, etc. Hence, questioning the "holes" in a story as evidence of something possibly nefarious is dangerous (which IMO is kinda what you did in one of your first posts).
To be fair I think your posts since then have been clear. You have no animus toward DS, just going down all the threads available. I too hope, for example, MCSO really nail down the exchanges in the early morning between BA and DS time and content wise. The phone exchanges once "the search phase" began should be easy enough for MCSO to verify via phone and video. And the interviews that have surely taken place with DS, SD, (TJK) and A about the events should be collaborating (or not) the accounts.
DS, friends, (yourself, me) are not experienced with this type of traumatic episode unfolding in real time, so videos might not get shot. I know from being in the garage it would be impossible to shot when they first spotted the car. After giving chase all you're going to get is taillights and dust.
By the administrators finding you a "Verified Insider" you can be invaluable to help us understand Ben and the things he may or may not do based on your experiences with him. Just be sure you are remaining open yourself to things not fitting a set scenario. We all want resolution quickly but it will not come due to the complexity of car, body, sightings and the activity of New Years Eve. MCSO has all video from the sites to go through. Patience people.
