Clothes:
> The fact that a change of underwear was found with the clothes makes me wonder-- if all she was going to do was change into or out of her clothes immediately why the "underwear"? I mean wouldn't she use the underwear she had on and just change the clothes? This to me would mean she did not want to wear the same underwear--for some reason right?
If she had PE class, she would have wanted fresh underwear. At least I know I did when I was in high school and refusing to wear the dorky gym uniform any longer. Panties and a bra fold down to practically nothing, so don't take up much space in a bag.
Also, she may have wanted to change the colour of her bra when she changed her top; if so, then *obviously* she'd want to change her panties to match. <imagine a teen girly-girl eyeroll here>
> They would not answer the question about urine on the clothes, leading one to believe there is some truth to that--does it have to only be urine? If urine, maybe it is animal from being left outside.
If they did not want to answer that question it also might mean it was some other fluid, like blood or semen.
Or they don't want to get led into the maze of only denying what was not found. If the media senses that a spokesperson can be "herded" that way, they will be relentless in questioning until it's clear to the world and the perp exactly what was or was not found associated with the bag.
>Wouldn't it seem if she did not pack those clothes "who" and "why" would they be folded "neatly", I mean just throw them in there--only if you did not want them to wrinkle would you care?
Many sexual assault victims have been forced to undress and have described folding everything neatly. It's an attempt to buy time because they dread what will happen after they are done undressing.
> Her mother said she had not seen the clothes LE found, so how did LE know they were hers?
I assume that LE would ask her mother if she had such-and-such clothes but also do some forensic testing to make sure. They had the bag for 4 days before they released the information, so they had time to run DNA tests on what they found.
>How do they Know the family have alibi's for the time she went missing, the exact time of her disappearance has not been determined. There is a window of some 11 hours?
The window is much tighter than that. Her smartphone sent a text at 7:11 am from her own home. At 7:24 am, she failed to show up for the bus. Whatever happened to Sierra, happened in that 15 minute window.
Texting:
> LE said they traced her last text to her cell phone at home at 7am, Texts can be sent by anyone, right?
True. However, that seems unlikely, in view of the fact that a trailing dog did track her to the end of her driveway.
> With reference to "her" Texting style--Whoa!! Yes normal teens are not squeaky clean when talking or texting friends, that's a given. But her texting style was reflective of someone VERY comfortable with heavy duty cursing, like everyday language. Seems like a pretty tough girl--at least in her texting.
Cheerleader or not , I would not want to be on her bad side.
I've read her twitter and tumbler accounts. I get the impression of a fairly naive kid who was putting up a facade of being tougher and edgier than she really was. Remember, this is the same kid whose mother turned her phone off at 9 pm each night; it's obvious she was supervised and cared about.
And to be honest, my own language is far from squeaky clean but I am non-violent except to lady beetles.
> Holly Bobo Case:
I know this is about Sierra La Mar, but does anyone else here that follows the Bobo case see some obvious similarities, Ir., Early morning,daylight, parents not there, no one saw her leave her house, personal items found several miles away, last convo with a friend at 7 am, and Scent dogs find abrupt ending of her trail? Curious, huh--although I don't know what it might mean IF anything:moo::waitasec:
As I understand it, her brother was present and witnessed Holly leaving but did not understand what it was he was seeing.
I think the similarities exist for the same reasons there were similarities between Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgway. There are only so many ways to successfully abduct someone under similar circumstances and so there are bound to be similarities between successful abductions.
hoh:Sorry if it seemed I was questioning the integrity of the family. That was not my intention, it was worded rather badly. I was trying to make a point that we really have an 11 hour window of opportunity for Sierra's disappearance, is that correct?
