This doesn't make sense to me at all.
First, going out to hunt for the guy while your daughter is dying and getting ready/being transported to the hospital and your son has gone through the trauma of finding her (even if he isn't innocent, he had to have been at least acting upset) seems odd to me.
I know stepmom and stepsister were there, but still. I have to believe your first instinct would be to be with your family and spend your daughter's last moments with her.
But let's assume you do decide it's more important to go try to find the guy...
Are you going to jump out of your truck to ask if the neighbor's seen anyone? Seems like it would be a lot faster to just shout the question from your truck window so you can keep driving and looking if he says no.
And even if it did happen, it seems silly to question whether that was the dad or not. What--the murderer was going to drive around drawing attention to himself by impersonating the dad and doing that?!
Plus, it's amazing what we don't notice when our mind is focused on something else (like the implied blood all over his shirt).
Sorry if it came across that way. What I was trying to convey is that this boys opinion of IF isn't necessary, anymore than IF opinion of him is. Not everyone is going to have the same opinions and while we read some that think he was odd there is others I've read that he's an okay kid.Uh, the 15-year-old hasn't been charged with murder so I don't get your point...Why such harsh words for a teenager who was just asked a question by the media?
Exactly. Thank youI read an article on the site of a Bay area paper, and I'm sorry I can't recall which one, that quoted two schoolmates of IF who were at a diner or cafe. The first one described him as a bully, but the next chimed in with a positive impression of IF.
We might expect to see many more conflicting descriptions of IF as the case unfolds. Perhaps colored by the fact that he stands accused of murder, or perhaps because hey, not all kids like or get along with each other.
If you are working from a theoretical basis, a psychopath can not be in full force until a stage of development goes awry. Psychopath is one of those words that people just throw about. Technically, depending on the background you work from, a psychopath is nurture, not nature. A stage of development has a bit of a hicup. I agree, labels are not helpful.
Oh man; you got me. I had to look up acerbic. I am humbled. Darn it anyway.acerbic wit. <snip>
I think neighbor DM will be considered too great a wildcard for either side to call. JMO
I disagree.
If this kid is a psychopath chances are no one saw or ever suspected a thing. They tend to be charming, helpful and respectful.... Even as children.

How does that work if both sides want one witness?
Yes, this info seems kind of 'fantastic' to be just coming out now. Wouldn't LE have given the public that description if they had it back at the start? ' BOLO; White SUV with blood soaked driver."
Although there is some disagreement among "schools" of psychology whether or not a psychopath and a sociopath is the same thing, (I believe they are different), you are absolutely correct. BOTH tend to be as you described. I would also like to mention regarding a previous post on the last closed thread--most of Freud's theories have been debunked by modern psychologists. That is not to say that Freud didn't make several important contributions. I will leave it at that. Psychology is my background, but I do not wish to elaborate further. Anyway, great post!
Is there a large Hispanic population in town? Just wondering, since he claimed the perp was a "Mexican".
The racial makeup of Valley Springs was 3,047 (85.8%) White, 35 (1.0%) African American, 39 (1.1%) Native American, 70 (2.0%) Asian, 6 (0.2%) Pacific Islander, 179 (5.0%) from other races, and 177 (5.0%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 454 persons (12.8%).
I agree. What's with all the "witnesses" in this case? So odd
Maybe they should have the water tested for hallucinogenics? It is common for witnesses to have recollections that conflict with each other. But, this guy is self conflicting. And, they still have not explained exactly why the other one recanted her "sighting" of the perp.
