Humm. ..maybe the guy who rode a bicycle and lived from place to place, paid off the Rich guy..I see it now! Mr P is too predictable lol
Kinda catching on here to how this is going...sounds like some finger pointing has been done! JMO

 

[dar107]

3 G is a whole lotta cash for a bmx/skateboarding, no fixed address kind of guy to have in his pocket. Hoping they can tie in the transaction at the bank where is was withdrawn from! Could be payment for services, or drug money....

 

[Errrr]

He didn't say washed, he said found. Obviously Sloots wouldn't know if it had been washed or not. But the assumption would be that it was considering where it was found. (Just adding)

Since they found evidence on it and we saw a photo of the filthy thing, my assumption would be that either the washing machine was broken or somebody didn't know you have to add soap and turn it on!

Pillay asking about if Sloots can say how someone's DNA came to be on something."You cannot determine how the DNA got there?" Pillay says. "Fair," Sloots says. "I can't get into the mechanism of how it was deposited."
by Adam Carter 11:51 AM

DNA can be transferred from another person, Sloots says. If you shake someone's hand and then touch a doorknob, their DNA can be transferred to the doorknob.
by Adam Carter 11:52 AM

Sloots also can't say exactly when DNA was deposited onto an item.
by Adam Carter 11:52 AM

This testimony put me right in mind of the "Mrs. Doubtfire" movie clip that was posted yesterday.....all I can see is Doubtfire's purse connecting with someone's head....too funny.

They looked for blood on the truck seat but it had been burned, was charred. No blood found. #Bosma

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 26s26 seconds ago

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 9s10 seconds ago
Sloots says #Bosma truck looked to have been cleaned up. Seats removed and burned, no carpet, lingering scent of spray paint

<bbm>

Colour me confused. In the downloadable slide presentation of yesterday, slide #9 shows a rear passenger seat with a blood stain. What vehicle was that from?

Yep, but the question is if DM pulled $3k out of the bank to use as hush money to give to someone...perhaps not MS, as DM seemed to be heading home when they caught him. Maybe he wanted to pay off someone he was living with that knew stuff?

Or he was planning to go on the run and needed enough to pay for gas and hotels? I think I might have grabbed more than $3k then.

I think this refers to the front seat that was removed and burned IMO

It was from TB's truck, they removed the front bench assembly and only one half of the rear bench.

Edit: Check out slide #9 from yesterday's exhibit #77 (https://docs.google.com/presentatio...IBJnVyBKUSJ7ek/edit?pref=2&pli=1#slide=id.p15)

I think they mean just the front seats.

At least DM had a bottle of laundry detergent...... in the Yukon lol.

Tim's truck, rear bench seat. That seat was intact and not burnt. Just front seats burnt.

ETA: Sorry, others answered already. my internet is super slow today....it's even ghost typing!

 

[SnooperDuper]

Canada's number one brand (Tide) or some kind of discount stuff?

 

[CJPRINCESS]

It was from TB's truck, they removed the front bench assembly and only one half of the rear bench.

Don't recall any portion of the rear seat removed. We have seen pics with the rear seats flipped back, not out.

 

[Sillybilly]

Or he was planning to go on the run and needed enough to pay for gas and hotels? I think I might have grabbed more than $3k then.

<rsbm>

That's my suspicion .. considering the phone records showing a call to the ex-gf
