Hi y'all!! After reading through a couple of threads and enjoying your contributions, I thought it was time to chime in here.
I'm a latecomer to this case, even though I live in Tucson and am a veteran armchair sleuth. Classes at Pima start next Tue. :woohoo: , and getting enrolled, etc. has taken up much of my time the last few weeks.
Immediately I distrusted the "intruder through Isa's window" scenario. It seemed like amateurish staging, and TPD did say back on 04/22 that there was NO evidence of foced entry into the house (see KVOA's "complete coverage" page). Plus good ole fashioned horse sense says that the odds of someone snatching her from her bedroom under those conditions (high wall surrounding property, 3 dogs on site, in daylight, etc.) are pretty slim.
I am no fan of TPD, however I DO trust the technology, skills, competence, and professionalism of the FBI and the U.S. Marshals. Too many LE and former LE have stated off the record that Sergio has a major debt to one of the drug cartels, and frankly I believe it (where there's smoke, there's fire). Just because someone puts on a very public face does not mean that they are drug-free, honest, law-abiding, a good parent, or even sane. Many people "project" positive traits onto total strangers just because they have reproduced. I should know -- this is my childhood in a nutshell. I am the product of such parents, and everyone thought they were "pillars of the community" because they were highly functional. In reality, nothing could have been further from the truth.
BTW, just because SC can sing doesn't mean he's not abusing drugs. Smoking is only one form of administration. As for him not having the time, well if the man doesn't work (or only works PT) then that opens up a significant window of free time so keeping coaching, etc. committments is not such a big deal.
In every interview of SC and RC that I have seen, they have exhibited signs of lying. (Several years ago I was fortunate to receive a tutorial from a retired FBI agent who specialized in body language.) That impression of mine has been buttressed by specialists hired by both local and national media. Then there was the telltale interview with local media where SC had his hands completely wrapped around RC's right arm, and he remained as still as a statue so as to prohibit any spontaneous gesticulations. It was glaringly obvious! IF they had passed their lie detector tests, they both would have been screaming it from the rooftops. But we have only silence and evasiveness ("we can't talk about that").
RC has made some truly bizarre statements that just creeped me out. One was something like, "Well, we absolutely don't like being here doing this. But you know what? It doesn't matter... We are here doing it, whatever it takes to bring Isabel home." If it doesn't matter when why bring it up? When your child is missing the focus should be on her, not yourself. "Whatever it takes," right?
It is very "interesting" to me that a nurse and a surgical assistant could afford to buy a $435,000 house. The house has 3802 sq. ft., even though eyeballing it it appears to have about 2400 sq. ft. Also, it has 1.5 stories, and since we don't have attics in Tucson I'm wondering about the "half" story. Is there a fortified underground bunker, and does that account for the missing square footage, the "half" story, and the high price of the house? If SC is a drug dealer that wouldn't be farfetched. The house has been on the brink of foreclosure a couple of times, so their financial picture hasn't been great. To me that is notable because "desperate times require desperate measures."
Speaking of SC being a surg assist, why has his employer not been identified? Why haven't they come forward to show support like TMC did for RC? Why has nobody been able to find SC's state license?
There have been too many creepy things and red flags in this case to list in toto here, but they include: Cousin/Uncle Justin, Isabel reportedly sleeping in her brother's room (for protection/safety from her father?), the CPS involvement, the defensive statements by SC's sister at an inappropriate time, etc.
For about an hour I entertained the hoax theory, but that theory is mutually exclusive with SC being a drug dealer. No drug dealer is going to call LE to his home and risk the subsequent scrutiny (phone call records, e-mails, financial records, etc.) to perpetuate a hoax. It's one or the other, and I don't believe this is a hoax.
I also have not ruled out sexual abuse which culminated in some kind of incident resulting in her death, which then required manufacture of the "kidnapped" tale.
This whole thing stinks like a rotten fish and has from Day One. Something is not right here, and I have to conclude that the public has been fed a line of BS. My prediction is that LE will approach RC and she will agree to supply evidence against SC in order to take him down in exchange for her own complete or partial immunity. Only time will tell if I'm right about that one or not.
Of course, all of the above is just my opinion. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to interacting with you here!
