Brini, you just said that LE tested Lee A. to put a rumor to rest. You go on to say that LE does not have to investigate paternity to satisfy our curiosity.
True but,
which is it? You can't have it both ways. If they don't satisfy our curiousty we'll keep talking/asking about it. It could be put to rest easily enough if there wasn't so much mystery surrounding the ID of the bio and so many different answers that have been given.
Some of us believe that more than likely KC knows who fathered Caylee. The odds are greater that she does know imo. Not many people think whoever that was/is is responsible for Caylee's death. We think knowing the circumstances might shed some light on the psychology of KC and the family.
Also please provide some sources for all your factual claims. Which FBI agent? How do you know the Nigerian scam thingy was discussed way back prior to RP's wedding? And, finally, do you know who the father is/was because, honestly, it sure sounds as if you do. I'm not trying to cause a fight. I think mine are legitimate questions. :waitasec:
I don't see a conflict, WBG.
They don't have to test, but they did to shut down the rumor mill (per what I was told). They apparently felt that it would be helpful. Not my decision; theirs. I've also wondered whether the As might have asked them to do it. My friend said nothing about that.
I have no idea how successful it was, because my friend (my ex bf, actually) and I didn't discuss it.
Yes, I know who the FBI agent is. He's an ex-bf of mine. No, he is not with the FL agencies-- he was telling me the scuttlebutt he's got from the offices.
Am I going to post his name for you? No. You can take it or leave it, as you like. I found it very informative, however. ;-) I did not report it as fact, BTW. I reported a conversation with a close friend who happens to work for the feds.
However, I can assure you that we did not, and he would not have, discussed the criminal elements of an active investigation, with me.
LE did not go back and test the guys whom KC dated, at about that time of Caylee's conception. Except JG, as he was the designated father, and to rule him out. Then, they cleared JG. There were no warrants issued nor was there any testimony from her other bfs, back in the day.
I've never seen any investigation of the early Christmas party where RP thinks KC got knocked up, in the doc dumps. RP cooperated with LE, and also worked with NG, for awhile.
I have no idea whether KC knows or not. How would I know who the fa is, and why would I care? Except that I might find it entertaining for five minutes.
The psychology of the family may be fun for us, but LE is apparently all about evidence. The only psychology that LE cares about are the two work-ups of KC, which have been long since done. They know she is competent to stand trial, and is not legally insane.
As NG pointed out to us, on several shows, they don't need a motive to prove murder. All they need is the evidence. However, LE apparently believes that they have the motive, in any case. And, they have seen ALL the evidence.
We have seen no document dumps re: testimony of any of the guys KC was running with, at the time of conception, other than JG. No evidence of any support money or contact, in the doc dumps. LE has all of KC's texts, phone calls, and auto pings. No warrants served on KC's bfs, for that time.
In short, there is as much evidence of the bio dad still being around as there is of Zanny the Nanny.
You may believe that KC knows who the father is, and that's fine. I have no opinion, either way. A lot of people won't identify the other bio parent. This, including one of my cousins, a nurse with whom I work, and the rescuer (a guy) from whom I adopted my pets.
Oh, and the Nigerian scam thing-- that came from a couple of RP's postings. We all had heard that CA lost the money in online poker (that's what got into the papers). RP said that CA and GA thought that online poker sounded more respectable than a Nigerian scam, for some reason.
RP also said that happened long before his wedding. IIRC, in Ohio, but I'm not too clear on location. I don't know where the links are, on w/s. I read RP's stuff on Topix. I think there are also some references to the scam in the doc dumps, somewhere. The As nearly divorced over it.
Anybody remember where Rick's stuff is on w/s?
So, to summarize-- we may be personally curious about the father's identity. But, LEs job is not to find out for us. If they thought the fa was involved, we'd see evidence of this in LE activity-- warrants, arrests, searches, interrogations. Unexplained texts, phone calls, and pings.
We aren't seeing any of that.
It doesn't look like the bio father matters to anyone who matters to the case.
