Exactly my point as well. Benjaman never said he was beaten, false news reporting may have said that, but I never recall him saying that.
So why is Websleuths administrators saying he is a fake, because news reporters said he was beaten and LE said he wasn't. I don't recall Benjaman saying he was beaten, so how does this make him a fraud?
Once again, I want prove of these allegations against him.
How do you know BK Doe never said he was beaten:waitasec:?
Here is a copy/paste from the Dr Phil website with a direct quote from BK:
"The cleaning woman at the Burger King found me just before they opened, so it was about 6:00 a.m. The day is pretty hazy to me. I don’t remember too much about it. I was unconscious. I had ant bites all over me, [and was] beaten. I have no idea how I got there. I don’t remember anything about it. I had no memory of my name, parents, relatives. I don’t even know where I worked," says Benjaman."

There are multiple, and I mean MULTIPLE articles out there, including blogs for someone as well known as Colleen Fitzpatrick, containing multiple quotes from both BK and NB-but each and everyone of those reporters made up an assault? And after having read the articles containing their interviews, and in some cases including the links on their Wikipedia page, they never corrected this blatantly false premise? That BK had amnesia post assault.
I just want to make sure I am getting your post.
I think that this is a weak defense at best-although not a surprising one. JMO.
I will go back and finish the thread-but I want you all to know that Tricia's motivation for closing the thread is to protect her sleuthers. She knew that everyone would not be satisfied no matter what she showed or shared. It is up to you to decide what circumstances might lead to someone falling asleep naked in a dumpster covered with scabies, waking to find the police staring at you and no longer knowing who you were or where you came from. For almost 5 years. Maybe he has Alzheimers?
In my view, BK looked pretty credible and had a champion (NB) so Dr Phil wasnt going to let the search for truth get in the way of good theater. After all, his show is primarily about entertainment. In terms of the FBI, their involvement in his case came as a result of NB finding access to a well know GA senator. It cost them nothing, really, to fingerprint him and put those prints into Aphis....and then run them against other prints in that system. The rest of the work that was done for him-dentals, xrays, DNA etc was privately donated. I know that because if you read the threads I set much of it up for him. GBI closed out his case a while ago because they did not believe it.
People are going to want to continue to champion BK Doe and NB-people are going to find lots of little reasons to discount police reports and medical reports. At the end of the day, the core sleuthers on the case did not really care if he was a vagrant to begin with-although he and NB emphatically deny it. I guess my question to them would be how do they know he was not? I mean, if you dont know who you are, how can you know who you are not??? If there was no physical trauma, what caused the amnesia? Once no physical cause was determined, did he participate in therapy to address the possible emotional route of it?
Thank you to everyone of you who gave of their hearts to this man and his situation. While this is not the ideal outcome, I think it stand up in the bright light of day far better than what we have seen to date.
Peace
