Just some random thoughts after reading the last thread. (It moved WAY TOO fast for me to comment, but lots of attention is a good thing.)
- One doesn’t necessarily be concerned about a certain party or parties to want a concealed handgun permit. There is a saying among CC holders: ‘Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.’
- One thing that becomes very apparent when you start carrying is vigilance. First you stop and think: ‘Can anyone tell if I’m carrying? Am I ‘printing’? A side benefit of that is that you start paying more attention to others. Are they looking at me? Are they acting suspicious? Are they carrying? As a side note, the only persons I’ve ever determined we’re carrying a concealed gun are plainclothes or off-duty cops – 3 times. They are the absolute WORST at hiding their guns. But I never noticed them until I carried.
- Carrying while jogging is not easy, but I know two cops that do it off duty. (One uses a fanny pack which just screams “Gun!”
The other carried a North Ameican Arms .22. I had a relative – not a cop - that also carried the NAA .22.
- 3 hour run on 02 November and a 5K on 05 November? I don’t believe it was likely IF a good time on that 5K was the goal. That close to the event a runner is going to be ‘tapering’ or doing shorter runs with slower times. IF the 5K was part of the training plan for a longer race later on, then maybe a 2-3 hour run. Typically, when in training for a marathon (and I’m not saying she was a marathon runner or training for one) a runner will do a long run – at least 21 miles – 2-3 weeks before the event and begin their taper.
I still believe this was an abduction. I had a feeling the husband was not the culprit – nothing to base it on except my gut after reading the news.
I believe the phone was thrown out at that intersection and Sherri may have not run that route that day. Hence, no scent found by the dogs. I believe it happened somewhere else. If it was planned, I can imagine it at or near the house at the end of her run. She’s tired and close to home, so probably less vigilant. The phone could have been thrown out on the way away from the house. Abductor’s usually have a comfort zone near where they live. Jesse Matthews (Heather Graham case), Antolin Garcia-Torres (Sierra Lamar) and Jeffrey Willis (Jessica Heeringa) are examples. If I’m right and this is an abduction, I’ll bet the abductor had seen Sherrie before 02 November and she may have even seen him before even if she didn’t know who he was.
Could it have happened IN the house? I think it is possible but not likely as we have not heard of signs of struggle being found. And I don't see someone coming back to clean up as that carries the risk of getting caught. However, if 2 are involved one can straighten up and clean up while the other has her in a vehicle. More than one abductor is rare though.
