I, too, have never doubted that LS could get a suitcase full of child up any staircase.
What I doubted, and what I addressed in my post, was the supposition posited by some posters that maybe she used the particle board as a ramp under the suitcase to help pull the suitcase up the stairs.
Quite improbable, if not impossible, for one person to do so, and especially since LS didn’t need to employ a ramp to get the darn suitcase up the stairs, even if Gannon was in it.
I’d better be clear here: I’m more on the side of Gannon not coming back to the house after the Monday errands. So in that scenario, LS put Gannon in the suitcase elsewhere, and didn’t need to drag it up the stairs with Gannon in it.
But if he went into the suitcase in the basement, she absolutely could have gotten it up the stairs without any aid of any kind.
I love WS. But sometimes, before someone floats an idea about how something might have happened, I wish they’d take one more step, and consider how the idea might play out in reality, and how it might actually be achieved physically. The idea of using the particle board to aid in getting the suitcase up the stairs seemed ludicrous to me because of the physicality of what that entails.
Sometimes in our brainstorming, it seems we just throw ideas and conjecture against the wall to see what sticks. Even if it has no basis in fact or common sense or if it is physically possible. I’d rather read about ideas and conjecture that are in the realm of possibility.
I know, scroll and roll. I guess I’m the McCranky person tonight.
Maybe it's just your night to wear the McCranky hat, Windrower. We've all had a turn or two at it!
We've each also on occasion thrown out an idea that didn't connect with anyone.
I've pitched a few that didn't even make sense to me when I logged on after a night's sleep!
Those of us who followed the Kelsey Berreth case from beginning to end discovered that reality often presents as far stranger than fiction and we've already seen that in Gannon's case.
If someone had posted early on that T probably threw him off a bridge in Florida we'd likely have laughed them off the thread.
We're all a little whacko or we might be reading the Great Books of the Western World instead of discussing crimes with strangers......but here we are.
