bill stanton~independent investigator hired by anonymous man and woman benefactors

[dovebar]

Definitively interesting parallels there.

 

[denalves]

Wow. I visited your brother's website. I am so sorry for you and your entire family. Sleuthers should note that while your mom failed a polygraph, she had been heavily medicated from the trauma at the time she took the test.

Also, your family had been stalked for some time, by a crazy woman who had also stalked another man before, breaking into his house, taking pictures and camping outside his kids' school.

This woman, Emma Manzanares Bradshaw, has refused to take a poly and was hospitalized in the past, several times.

Do you guys know where she is? Have you been able to determine whether she has or had any other kids with her at any time since your brother disappeared besides the son mentioned in the website? Has her adult son been ruled out definitively as your brother?

Wow. Your brother's case is a lesson to me to not jump to conclusions. The polygraph thing makes sense. I will have to take a step back on baby's Lisa's case and just wait and see.

BTW, there was a another case recently in which a missing girl's parents failed polygraphs - Breann Rodriguez. She was found dead and a neighbor arrested and charged with her murder. http://abcnews.go.com/US/breeann-rodriguezs-training-wheels-found-miles-home/story?id=14289852

We didn't know for some time after Christopher's disappearance that we had been being stalked. And we started to piece things together. We did receive hang up calls everyday in the morning for weeks before my brothers disappearance and didn't take them seriously. If only! My mom had gone to the grocery store the day my brother was kidnapped and she felt as though she was being followed, so much so that she turned around to ask the lady if she needed help. Her name had been given to LE the day after my brother's disappearance, but they never even pulled police records on her or the court record you read. My family was the first to request the record from the court. It really is unbelievable. Just like Lisa's case, LE was getting 100's of tips in the first few weeks and they were reacting to them, but overwhelmed I am sure. And at the same time looking at my family with suspision.

We know where EB is. She hasn't had any other children. Her son is not my brother.

Websleuths has set up a link to discuss my brothers case.

OMG ... I just watched this video ...

This "investigator" is so "full of himself" ... what a big load of b...s...

MOO ...

dgc,
I'm glad you said what I was thinking. :seeya:

imo

 

[Melanie]

bring in Leonard!

Leonard is the bail guy -- I'm thinking more along the lines of Dominic Casey.

:banghead:

 

[Lera213]

This PI better be careful or he will find himself in jail for interfering in a police investigation.

 

[BeanE]

Wow! I just woke up to all the buzz that happened while I was sleeping about this PI. Since I was sleepin' while y'all were talkin' most, if not all, of this has probably already been posted, but just in case something interesting wasn't caught, here are all the tweets I've found so far about the PI from reporters and news stations. *Really* interesting stuff!

[Jareau]

Thank you, BeanE, I slept through it too, and this helps.

 

[BeanE]

I think we can call this case an official media circus now. Oh well, I imagine ratings and viewership and website readership were dropping off after the end of the Casey Anthony trial.

Just my opinion, of course.

 

[luckyme]

I went to bed too! Of course i missed something new, thats how it always happens.

 

[Gardenlady]

Fell asleep promptly after the press conference with this guy, so I missed all the infoz about him. Thanks for the twitter round up!

Someone said earlier this guy seems a lot like Bo Dietl, I agree. I for see lots of friction between Stanton and LE and locals in the near future.

If this guy was indeed hired by the corporate media, all I can say is WOW. Not surprising, but just... Wow at their brazenness.

Well, if he can do that, yay! but it's hard to think of things that this one guy could do that all the LE with their resources aren't already doing.

Is the family prepared to tell him things they aren't telling LE? That could help him find the truth.

From the KMBC Live Blog:

The family told KMBC's Marcus Moore that they have not hired the private eye, but declined to say who was paying for his involvement.

[~n/t~]

Thanks for all the links BeanE!

 

[lorann]

I can see the networks having someone like this on their payroll - how many times has the press said "we have learned *advertiser censored* from sources close to the investigation". The PI is hoping to get info from LE - LE will only use this guy to their advantage. In my estimation, the press has been partly responsible for hindering LE with getting answers they need. The press is hoping to have a long time profitable career of this case as we have seen in Florida - jmho

 

[~n/t~]

Not sure why this guy was hired by whomever. I just hope this case doesn't turn out to be a circus like CA's case.

Baby Lisa needs to be found and there is no time for a circus. She's only 10 months old. I thought LE was doing a good job but maybe they did have tunnel vision, IDK. Hope this PI will truly do an investigation. If he starts to appear on all the news networks shows like TODAY or talk shows like Dr. Phil, I will lose all faith in him. It would mean he's doing it for ratings and $$ rather than for Lisa.

:sigh:
