We don’t have that much to discuss right now, so I am enjoying this back and forth on what LE is saying at this time. I see everyone’s position, and I have changed my thoughts based on the discussion here-more than once. The cynic in me keeps bringing up that darned market and LE not retrieving the footage of Barry trash picking until it was written over. I hate to beat a dead horse (or whitetail deer), but did they not need the footage? Would it have mattered to their investigation? They obviously don’t have enough to proceed with an arrest at this time-is there anything that could be shared with the public that could help the case? Do they need the public’s help? Did people come forward with info when they made their requests?
Same for me. They absolutely should have looked at the video of Barry digging in the trash to see what he was actually doing.
I have been a supporter of LE in this case but there are some things that I can't forget. Like LE taking a week to ask people in the area for surveillance video?? Yikes...that's just investigation 101. And even then LE basically said, Don't call us. We'll call you IF we want it. I can't explain that away. That is a dropped ball. Hopefully they didn't drop too many more.
It was such an afterthought that I thought they must have a mountain of evidence and will be making an arrest soon. They were just covering their bases so the defense team couldn't accuse them of tunnel vision on the spouse.
Well, here we are a year later...
