Great questions Charlie!! And :welcome6: to Websleuths and this thread!

:greetings:

Thank you [emoji4] I've actually been lurking here for quite a while, I found this site because of Sierra

Here's an article from 2014, please read all of it to understand about the tissue, it is very interesting as semen was never mentioned, but, he hung himself answering.

http://kron4.com/2014/07/14/sierra-lamar-case-da-says-dna-evidence-links-antolin-garcia-torres/

So basically he has no defence for the DNA being found on her clothes ... the DNA wasn't semen according to that article and we haven't heard that they found a tissue, which was his excuse ... Not that I ever thought his excuse was an actual reason

charlie7 I think that the defense is trying to "float" the idea that the lab work was not accurate due to mistakes and poor techniques. They also seem to be asking a lot of witnesses about lending pants to Sierra (that and makeup) very puzzling (does one of the other girls know AGT?). I suspect that the defense will throw out all kinds of different ideas and hope that just a few of them stick.

Get ready for the defense to suggest that her father molested her. It will not be less repulsive if you are prepared to hear it but it may be less of a shock if you are prepared in advance. I do not put much past defense attorneys.

Just for interest.


Was rereading another forum that I used to be a member of and there was a local member..... who actually featured in news articles as being involved in Sierra’s search paries as a leader .... also initiated the yellow ribbons...

Long story short.... she said there were dumped kittens on the corner of sheller and Dougherty....thatbshe believes they had migrated up Sierra’s road. She even considered it was Sierra who may have been feeding them....well she was sure someone was, as she had been doing so previously closer to her home.

She also said that she was told by other searchers that went out to the shed on Laguna that there was also a Pure breed Burmese with kittens at the shed... with obvious signs someone had been feeding them...

What it means.... if anything??

But I did find it interesting ..... as I was unaware that Antolin had cat food food in his boot and claimed to fed stray cats..... this only just coming out at trial.

What it means.... if anything??

Wouldn't surprise me if that thats how AGT first saw Sierra whilst he was going to feed the cats. He could have stalked her for a while found out what time she was at the bus stop every day. Could have been planning to attack her hence the bleach. Rather than a spur of the moment thing.

Sierra's tweet about somebody yelling something from a car could have been ATG too though thats just me speculating.

Bracing myself for the defense tactics when they present their case. They are going to go after Sierra and her whole family and the neighbors and maybe even some of her friends....
