GW and 99 Cent store footage was viewed...how long of a time frame, idk. Hopefully long before the girls got there and long after they left. My husband had the job of talking to managers/owners about the footage last Saturday. I followed up with these people today. EVERY ONE that we talked to were willing to try and help us. Kaiser, Jon's and Bank of America all told us that the request had to come from LE. When we asked if LE had been there for the footage or requested it, every single company we talked to said no, no one had asked. There is a commercial building on the corner that has cameras pointed at the intersection and several points of interest. I talked to him again today. He said no one ever came or called but that footage was erased after 72 hours. IF LE had done their job (just what it seems like to me) then they would have pulled it almost immediately and maybe we wouldn't be here today. So, do I know? Not beyond a shadow of a doubt, no. But I seriously doubt that every single security person and corporate office was told to lie to anyone who asked. Well, I guess if there are secret agencies involved, that's possible.
So, Mr Mistivon did not find any evidence where the clothes were found. He talked to the witness and finds her quite credible (Mr Mistivon fancies himself a master detective, but he is actually quite perceptive
) His theory is now this (God please don't let any family read here and please forgive me if you do): He thinks Maricela was abducted from the church parking lot. He thinks she was driven almost directly across the street into a large parking lot that is not well lit and is not visible from the street. His brain then skips a step before the clothes end up in the lot behind Firestone. Back through the church parking lot cutting through to Wyandotte, tosses the cell phone out the window on the way to the next side street. Innocent joe blow comes along on Friday, picks up the clothes and throws them in the dumpster. Dog comes out, trails Mari initially then because she is now in a car and it takes a couple blocks for her scent to come out, the dog trails instead the bra, which she scented to begin with. I think the phone was thrown out the window of a vehicle..or placed on the ground and deliberately driven over.
Ok, I am having terrible computer issues right now so I have to reboot and fiddle around then I'm going to post pictures before reading the rest of the posts.
