I wonder why the 10-year span...did the girl(s) only recently admit to the acts, when they were older?
And how old is Sierra's sister? 1999 was 13 years ago, these victims could have been very young girls, not teens, more like 8-10?
Also, I guess it would be impossible to prove innocence in such a case...one would almost have to plea. Not saying he IS innocent, but how could on ever prove it? Or rather, avoid conviction?
There are many sexual assault cases where the victim was forced to undress by the perp. The victim folded their clothing neatly, trying to buy time before the perp assaulted them.
I'm not saying that is what happened here but the clothes being neatly folded does not preclude that it was a forced strip during an assault.
I was gonna say.... if the LEO who said the clothes were folded neatly was a man, then some men don't see neat the same way most women do. However, if her mom was shown the clothes in the bag, then says she doesn't fold that way, then I guess that's a moot point. Wonder if they showed these clothes to her still in the bag before they were handled by LE? Probably. Mom could have misspoke, wouldn't be the first time one was wrong about their kids' habits. Did she actually take notice of the way she folded her clothes to take for a sleepover or visit with her dad? Or is she just going by how she folds them to put away at home? My stepdaughter would fold everything very, very neatly as long as I was paying attention, or if she was packing to visit her mom. But folding them and putting them away in her dresser was a different story.
I can see a victim doing that, whether or not she was neat in other situations. I imagine a victim shaking and having a hard time folding the clothes, but that doesn't mean she couldn't accomplish the task.
I also think that a deranged perp might have done this after the fact. In the Oakland County Child Killer case, the killer left the children clean and laid out, prompting people to think that he worked for a funeral home, laundry, etc. (like neatly folded suggests military to some in this case). Based on new evidence, I doubt that was it ... rather, it was just the killer's signature. I wonder if LE suspects something similar in this case, i.e., this is a person who has struck before or may strike again.
The perp might have left the purse near the phone at a later time. It does seem risky, but maybe risk appeals to the perp?
It's never been clear to me about the clothes. I originally was thinking it was a second set but now i'm leaning toward them being what she wore that morning and there was a female involved who folded them and put them in the bag. Maybe it was leaked originally that there was urine on them. That would make more sense if she had worn them.
On my way to work this morning I had this thought an I put myself in the perps head for a second. If Sierra is still alive and believe me I am hoping she is. And I have her hidden in Gilroy or San martin she is now no longer there. As the LE made the annoucement those are the next two areas to be searched. I would be saying Thank you LE for telling me in advance your next move.
And now be long gone.
I have always felt that kidnappers/rapists and murderers are some of the highest risk takers there are. I think it is part of the sick game they play. Catch me if you can, sort of thing.
Searchers will concentrate on Gilroy and San Martin today as they search for Sierra LaMar today. Also, there is an app you can download that could help bring her home.
~~~
A 'QR code' has been released on many posters of LaMar that will allow you to download information about her on a smartphone. The information includes pictures of her, links to Facebook and Twitter, what to do if you see her and immediate access to Santa Clara County emergency response.
Do you know what the building is on her home property in the back? there are several cars parked behind it and a path leading to and from the house. It's the structure behind the white gates.
According to the Namus site she was wearing grey shoes and the text at 0711hrs was regarding meeting before school to go over some homework. Interesting.
