Canada - Terry, 27, & Hailey Blanchette, 2, Blairmore, AB, 14 Sept 2015 #2

[perfectingpink]

I read somewhere that the property belonged to <modsnip> ? And that it was a cabin type property... Not sure I can find the specific article, but I do remember reading that.
If that is the case, he likely knew that no one would be out there

:welcome4:

 

[rogerrabbit]

A very odd thing to say. The sister IMO knew exactly who was in custody at that point in time, its a small town after all. So who would "honestly love" Hailey? Certainly she wasn't speaking to DS as he was already in custody. Who did DS know that would "Honestly love" Hailey? :thinking:

Yes, it's this particular notion and some other "evidence" that leads me to believe there are MULTIPLE individuals who wanted to "honestly love" HDB.....MAYBE DS was one of those individuals and maybe the only one capable (crazy) enuf to do what he allegedly did. But it seems as if the godmother and/or sister thought it could've been someone else....the fact that they would think that is somewhat telling.

Awwww, just watched the "Terry & Hailey" video and am certain she's his daughter. They obviously had a very strong bond and happy times together.

Would you mind to give the link if possible? I haven't seen it. TY.

If this is his relative's place, he'd have time to wait for an opportunity at privacy, or could've baited them to run an errand. There was a lot of time to work with; and waiting time may have played a role in the child's death.

IMO- I think with this crime happening in the early hours of a Monday morning it would be almost a "safe bet" to assume that either:

A) this is a hunting/recreation property only used on weekends and days off by the family.

Or

B) anyone living at this property had left for work on Monday before DS showed up with HDB.

That is also assuming that this was the property of a family member of DS. In which case he would be well aware of when a safe opportunity would be.

BIB Agreed. To me, Hailey looked quite a bit like Terry's mother.

So, not only has DS committed the utterly wicked acts of murdering a little girl and her daddy, but he also dropped it squarely in his family's lap by using the dry cleaners' van and his aunt's (alleged) property as part of his heinous crime. What a shameful, shameful person.

 

[Ontario Mom]

Sure. How many of us assumed Tara was hiding Tori Stafford from her Dad?

I know some assumed that, but I never did. I live in Woodstock and even though I don't know the family personally I know many who do. I pretty much kept my opinions to myself during the time she was missing.

300 motorcyclists deliver $9,000 donation in honour of slain Alberta father-daughter

http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/300-mo...72185#_gus&_gucid=&_gup=Facebook&_gsc=KZqdVyV

Less than a week after the deaths of two-year-old Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette and her father, the community of Blairmore, Alta., remains deep in mourning.

On Saturday, grieving residents were joined by nearly 300 motorcyclists, who rumbled into town to pay their respects to the girl and her father, as well as to deliver a donation of thousands of dollars.

To get there, the bikers journeyed through the southern part of the province, beginning at the Twin City Saloon in Longview, Alta., and raising money as they made their way south toward Blairmore.







Motorcycles parked outside of the Pure Country Saloon in Frank, Alberta at the conclusion of a ride honouring murder victims Terry Blanchette and his daughter Hailey

The ride culminated with a gathering at the Pure Country Saloon, where Dunbar-Blanchette's father, Terry Blanchette, once worked.

By the end of the ride, the bikers had collected more than $9,000, and donations were continuing to come in.

Yes the property is owned by Saretzky family member.

"RCMP investigators have set up a forensic trailer at an acreage in the hills north of Blairmore and have erected a tent over an area where it is believed the little girl's remains were found.
CTV News talked to a relative of the accused who confirmed that the property is owned by a family member."

http://calgary.ctvnews.ca/police-co...-double-murder-in-blairmore-alberta-1.2567433

Maybe DS was living on <modsnip> property (during summer months) or was "vacationing" out there at the time of the murders.

DS abducted Hailey at about 3:30am Monday morning, not sure what time on Tuesday he was arrested, but likely had many hours to "consider" his many options before he murdered her. Of course, unless she was killed in the van soon after DS took Hailey. MOO.

JMO but I do not believe DS was the bio father of Hailey. Just doesn't make any sense to me he would murder her under any circumstance, if he really and truly loved her and thus the reasoning behind abducting her. I know some young people do stupid things, but if he thought he was the bio father and wanted custody or visitation rights, why not file it in court and get DNA testing done settling it like a normal human being. Obviously there was something abnormal about him, but there's no justifiable reason, going to great lengths to abduct and then turn around and murder that child IF he thought she was his. Shows no love whatsoever and why would he go to great lengths of bother to abduct her unless it was done out of love.

Now on the other hand, if he was threatened with paternity testing and threatened with having to pay child support, that may be a different story. Still no right to murder an innocent child. And if that was the case, why not go through the court/DNA process, wait until the truth came out before doing something so evil. Personally I'm not buying the speculation DS was Hailey's bio father but that's JMO.

 

[Ontario Mom]

Some are wondering why no one at the property heard anything. So many variables there that could explain that:

It's possible no one was actually there (and that's why he chose that location, because he knew the location and knew no one would be there)

It's possible whoever was there would have been sound asleep and DS had the advantage of both cover of night and seclusion within the van, to do what he did and drop little Hailey off.

I've thought about it as if it were my property and I know for a fact if someone drove into my lot at 3:30am with their lights off, I'd never hear a thing. I'd be sound asleep with my fan going all night long. It's *possible* our dog might start barking but it's also possible (quite probable, actually) I'd never hear her, as she's locked away in her crate at night on another floor.

All speculation of course. The thing is, with criminally minded people, they don't even have to be smart or crafty, but they usually think of ways not to get caught. They don't always think of ALL the ways, obviously, but they tend to try to cover their bases at least as much as they're able. I suspect DS attempted to do this very thing in choosing that location.

MOO.

That was my first thought when questions of the paternity of Hailey first came up. Of course it sounds insane that a bio dad might murder his own kids, but... they do it all the time. So do bio moms.

Oh I know it happens; parents killing bio children. But according to CD she hadn't seen or spoken to DS in three years or more and she never had a romantic/sexual relationship with him. So if she is being truthful, who would have been threatening DS with paternity testing? I highly doubt TS would as he loved his little girl, she was his whole world. Would he risk losing her in his life? Again I highly doubt it. MOO.

 

[ChuckieD]

Doesn't sound like the plans to trade HD off from TB to CD were cut and dry. Leave many questions in my mind. Confusion or confrontation? MOO.

She was supposed to have been dropped off at her mother Cheyenne Dunbar’s Edmonton home Sunday, said the tot’s grandfather.

“She was supposed to show up yesterday, it was Terry’s turn to drop Hailey off,” Kevin Dunbar said Monday of the little girl's deceased father.

http://www.calgarysun.com/2015/09/14/amber-alert-hailey-dunbar-blanchette-abducted-from-blairmont

“All he did was ask me how I was and tell me updates on how my daughter was — we were making plans so that I could pick her up again,” she said.

http://www.calgarysun.com/2015/09/16/hailey-dunbar-blanchettes-mother-cheyenne-i-dont-know-why

In the interview with reporters CD said, "Last time I saw Hailey was actually not that long ago, I was just making arrangements to go pick her up again".

http://www.calgarysun.com/2015/09/16/hailey-dunbar-blanchettes-mother-cheyenne-i-dont-know-why

I feel like I'm the only person who heard her say this but later in the interview CD stated that she spoke to TB on the 9th to make arrangements to pick HDB up for her two weeks in two weeks. There was no mention of Sunday from CD that I have seen.

Not picking on your post, I'm just posting quickly as I'm about to run out the door!

 

[LayzeeDayzee]

Why on earth, if anyone at 3:30am hears a child screaming and a vehicle driving away at high speed would you not call the police and report? They obviously did not call to report or TB's body wouldn't gave been found in the home until later that day between 11am and noon? Maybe I'm just overly cautious but if I *ever* hear any kind of unusual noise or see unusual activity in the night in my neighborhood or anywhere, I don't ever hesitate to call the RCMP to report.

Yes according to a witness (neighbour IIRC). She/he heard the tires of the white van squealing and heard a child screaming. It was in one of the CTV news videos.

Also to reflect on Kittymama's post above; in the CTV video titled Calm sadness in Crownsnest Pass a reporter also said CTV spoke with a member of TS family who confirmed the property north where LE is searching does belong to an aunt of the accused. HTH.

[LayzeeDayzee]

The Amber Alert was issued around 11:15 in the morning after a relative came to the Blanchette home, where Hailey resided with her father, and found Terry Blanchette stabbed to death. Neighbors reported hearing a child scream around 3:30 in the morning and described seeing a newer model white van with a large rear antenna with a flag attached fleeing the scene.

http://www.**************/2422722/g...blanchette-located-deceased-suspect-arrested/

The link states a detailed description of the vehicle leaving at a high rate of speed. So somebody saw something. I thought I read as well they heard screams??? Anyone?

[Beesknees]

I firmly believe ther was NO doubt about Hailey's paternity.

It was explained more than once by locals why this confusion. It appears that during some time in CD's pregnancy she was apart from Terry and was dating another boy. He several times wrote how he loved C and the baby girl she was carrying and called himself the baby's father in the sense to say that he would take that place. But they separated and CD and Terry made up later.

This was explained by persons very close to them. Sometimes I think that the phrase both Hailey's godmother and Terry's sister said "if you really love her..." was directed to this boy. Perhaps because of the way he publicly wrote about his love for CD and her at the time unborn baby girl, they thought he was the one who abducted Hailey. At the time of the interviews we don't know if they knew it was DS the perp. Or, who knows, that enigmatic phrase could be directed at CD...

In my view Hailey has simlarities with her Dad - the chin dimple, etc, but who I think she is very, very lookalike is her grandmother Faith, Terry's mom. The shape of the face, the mouth, the eyes are so similar!

I don't know what to think about the motive for these horrible crimes. Can't see how and why was this tragedy possible.

This case is so strange and cruel

No problem, didn't see it that you were picking on my post. But now that you mentioned about what CD said, I thought I'd listen to it again and try and figure out what she actually said. Starting at 1:59 into the interview until 3:37.

Reporter: What was your relationship with Derek?

CD: That was years ago, we were great friends. Like it tears me apart knowing friends would do something like that.

Reporter: So he use to be your boyfriend but then he was your friend?

CD: We were just close friends and I haven't talked to him in three years. I haven't talked to him at all I haven't talked to anybody here, I lived in Edmonton.

Reporter: Do you know if there was a poor relationship between Terry and Derek?

CD: No I don't know anything, I don't know why'd anything of that would happen.

Reporter: When's the last time you spoke with Terry?

CD: I spoke to Terry on September 9th.

Reporter: What'd he tell you?

CD: He, all he did was ask me how I was and telling me updates on how my daughter was and we were making plans so I can go pick her up again for our two week (in and) two weeks.

Reporter: So was Hailey living with his dad... her dad or you?

CD: She was living with both of us. It was two weeks on (in and) two weeks off.

Reporter: And did you use to living in Blairmore?

CD: Yes I did.

Reporter: For how long did you live in Blairmore?

CD: I lived in Blairmore for two and a half years.

Reporters scrummage

CD: How me and Terry met? We met through a mutual friend and it was actually in Calgary.

Reporter: When's the last time you talked to Derek?

CD: Years ago, yyeeaarrrs. I haven't even...I completely forgot about Derek. Like he, was nothing after I left. Like he... nothing.

Reporter: What do you know about Terry and Derek's relationship?

CD: Nothing. I didn't even know they knew each other. The fact, the only thing I knew is that he knew of. Wasn't personal.

What I hear is CDE does not pronounce the word and properly and it sounds like she said in. She did this twice in part of the interview where I underlined above. She also said she lived in Edmonton, not live. Misspeak? MOO.

OK so I got bored and decided to listen and type out more. At 3:55 until 4:17.

Reporter: How long did you and Terry, did you live together did you date or?

CD: We lived together and we dated. We were together for quite a bit. It was just an off and on relationship we did everything we could to keep together for Hailey's sake.

Reporter: For how long where you (??) together?

CD: We were together for two years and then it was a back and forth relationship trying to stay together for Hailey.

Reporter: And you've been apart for how long now?

CD: We've been living apart for a year now.

Again at 4:40 until 5:20.

Reporter: So you had no idea about any contact between Terry and Derek?

CD: No I had no clue at all...at all.

Reporter: Has the Saretsky family reach out to you?

CD: No they have not.

Reporter: What did you even know about Derek?

CD: When I knew him he was a great kid, like he was a great kid... that's pffftt all I know.

Reporter: And you were close friends or...?

CD: We were friends, we hung out every once in awhile, like me and his friends all hung out and it was fine, there's never any upsetness with the group, like there's never madness nothing.

Reporter: And you never dated him though?

CD: I never physically dated him, we were just friends.

There's more but I didn't bother typing it out. HTH and MOO.

I'll listen when I get home. I'm British so you probably have a better ear for it than me

Above ^, respectfully snipped by me.

Ya I'm not necessarily drinking the kool-aid on the whole DS is the bio father belief either. All I was trying to get at was that there were AT LEAST two individuals who were claiming to "honestly love" HDB as her father (doesn't necessarily mean bio). Just the fact that are multiple individuals wanting to father the same child is odd and could certainly create some animosity I would think.
