Dedpanman - on Al and Bill Mack -
The only thoughts I have had on these two are, the older brother Bill may have failed his polygraph due to lying about previous acts with Christine that he adamantly denied but his brother said happened.
Attending school on 3 October 1984 then driving to Queensville for the purpose of abducting Christine? Why that day? Did they know she would be alone that afternoon and they would have ample opportunity to abduct her unseen? Did they drive there for the purpose of abducting her regardless of who was at the Jessop home around 4:00 pm? Why did they have to drive 50 kms? Why did they want to tear her apart? If she was going to talk about what had happened between this group, why not just kill her?
Since I can't reasonably answer these questions, I have to doubt their involvement. Jmo. I also think Tweedy would have gone to the trouble of comparing their DNA when he had the chance.
Lots of little points being brought up and passed by. Just wanted to preserve a little future leeway to revisit this one.
The question of, why would the Police request that a witness claiming to have seen Christine with a couple of boys, change his story to CJ was seen with a girl? This was at a time when the Police had choices as to which suspect to pursue. This story stands at the crossroads, the juncture between when witnesses were still reporting sightings and where the evidence could have led as opposed to what the Police decided to pursue. That being Guy Paul Morin. As the evidence now shows, it could not have been Morin and he had time slips from work and store receipts to prove it.
Why did the Police give up on all other leads right then? Seems the last act before going after GPM was to have the only or the last potential witness change his story to, “no boys were on that corner with Christine". Why even bother requesting that if the witness was to be written off anyway and the story therefore made of no consequence? That last act before going after Morin may be a very important point to remember. There was no real justification to pursue GPM except for false reasons without validity. There never was any proof of guilt; there always was proof of innocence. The Police knew it couldn’t have been GPM. What they did may have to be considered as deliberate. Why?
Its not incompetence, stupidity, tunnel vision; none of those excuses. It’s something different and more than a bit bizarre. Near unprecedented to see at this level and degree for a crime like this. It allowed some guilty party to evade investigation.
In hindsight our question here, did Christine’s past have any bearing on what happened to her? The coincidence factor came into play. Suspicions pointed at someone in the grapevine from the original sexual molestations. Those original sexual encounters were with boys related to a high-ranking uncle Police officer. An older cousin son of that Police officer has been mentioned elsewhere by other parties. A Police officer of rank may be one of the few with ways and means to sidetrack and thwart an investigation into something like this. If there were a motive to sidetrack, to keep someone out of the investigation, the boys have potential to top that list.
As said, they couldn’t have botched this investigation any more if they had tried. Was there a plan in place before this day? Bob Jessop said, “if not that day it would have been another.” Was GPM a patsy and part of a plan? They just didn’t know he would stop at the store that day and have a receipt?
So back to that corner and the boys seen with Christine. Obviously it was not the boys acting alone if they were involved. Abuse can be generational and participants trained by others older and more experienced. There can be rings of them and any leaks can threaten many.
Maybe these boys or some other boys were used as part of a plan? Maybe just to lure somehow, maybe not even knowing what all was about to happen. The possibility of dna belonging to more than one person could be used as blackmail in a sequence of events. Want to inform on someone else when your semen/dna is found on a dead girls panties? Not likely. If that girl was tortured in front of you as a last reminder. You or your family are next, well you get the point.
The Police have never acted properly in this case from start to finish. It is as big a factor in what happened as any other. That aspect has to be considered and an attempt made to fit it in as well as all the other pieces. This is a strange and bizarre piece for most to contemplate. I am just pointing out some of the tenuous connections between some of the more negligible pieces.
Just because we cannot understand what happened or why someone would do something, it’s still worth leaving as possibility #6 or whatever you wish to call it. As time goes on maybe more will be added or taken away from these potential suspects. In the end, you still have to ask, why have the Police dropped the ball each and every time. From the first to the last, they do not seem to want this to be solved for some reason imo. They abruptly terminated the investigation after GPM’s acquittal. So back to that crossroads beside the store immediately preceding suspicions on GPM. Where were they headed in the investigation? What happened with that? Why? For who?
Damage to the body means something to someone. I doubt the inexperienced hunter and note the missing organs. If not animal activity, this is another very bizarre aspect with few similarities to be found anywhere except in near satanic sacrificial ceremony. Going along with the multiple knife cuts, mutilation etc.. What was done pre or postmorton torture etc, may provide some answers if there was some definitive means of knowing. Not sure that was ever achieved.
I am merely using this as an overt example. Albeit a very strange one. There are things we may not be able to entertain simply because it is out of our sphere of knowledge but it may not be out of the killers. He did not think or operate as you or I. What happened may be even more bizarre than most anything we can imagine. Whoever did this was not your usual suspect even amongst killers. imo
