Thats a good question DeDee! There seems to be a gag order in CO and all LE has said with regard to whether the trails are safe is "Mr Nations is in custody", as if he is their only suspect in TW murder. It is unclear if they have ballistics work done or not, or whether the gun DN had at the time of arrest is even the same as what he had earlier in Sept. LE has not made any comment after saying they expect more charges for DN. The most compelling thing that I suppose makes it difficult for me to let go of DN is the timing of TW's murder coincides perhaps even to the hour of when DNs' brothers killer was sentenced, quite a coincidence. For sure it seems if they were going to charge him they would have done it before they let him go but as you know sometimes the evidence does not line up at first. And he still has a pending charge left in CO as well as child custody.
ML is the woman who may have committed suicide. You know one thing that bothers me about the search for her is that the reports describe when it was called off that the search dogs did not detect any trace of her scent in the area where her vehicle was found. And they stated they wanted to talk to anyone who saw her vehicle in the days between when she went missing and before it was found at the Catamount campground. It was stated like they thought she did not leave it there. I know her friends know her but depressed people can still be murdered. Do you know she went missing a day before DN showed up in Woodland Park just 5 miles away from where her car was found. Maybe just another coincidence i guess.
ocgrad, you and I have worked on cases before. Just so you know, I hold your sleuthing abilities at the highest level. When you post, I listen.
That was back in March, a couple weeks after the murders and 6 months before DN came onto the radar. Of all the vehicle colors out there, and the even smaller percentage with paper plates (temp tags), it's the combination of red + paper plates mentioned. What are the odds...? MOO
I will never understand why DNs wife purchased a gun while knowing how violent he is toward her. I can't imagine someone putting their strong hands around my neck in an effort to snuff out my life. Crystal McDowell's strangulation, at the hands of her own husband, comes to mind. He could have stopped at any time but chose not to do so. Consequently, Crystal's two children will live without their beautiful and successful mother while visiting their father in a TX prison, if they so choose.
DN chose, by making a very good decision, to stop choking KN. He can stop himself. He is not fully out of control. However, I do believe him to be a bit scattered as he has personally experienced much trauma in his life. At the same time, I cannot understand his will to shake a hatchet at anyone unless he has a death wish for his own life to end. IE, shake an axe at me and you'll find yourself with at least seven gunshot puncture wounds. Bullseye Shooter here!
As for ML, I cannot understand why the K9s did not track her presence. I trust K9s more than I do people, most often. Did it rain or snow after she went missing? I have not verified the climate during that time period. How many search efforts were performed to find her? I discovered yesterday that Indy has an electronics sniffing dog. Give the K9 five minutes in a room and he'll show you where hidden equipment discs, cards, etc are hidden. He can smell electronics whereas we cannot. That is not fresh news as the sniffing electronics K9 was used in the Subway guy's *advertiser censored* investigation.
Kizzykat, I have stated many times on WSs that there are no coincidences in murder investigations. I will say the same for missing persons. Coincidences are clues. Those clues are part of the puzzle until they don't fit together. "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." Not every clue in an investigation will make sense to us. However, we shouldn't cast them away until they prove to be of no value.
Boxer, it troubles me anytime a murder occurs when no reward is offered. When TW was reported as missing, even Crime Stoppers, should have stepped in to offer a reward for his whereabouts. I've called the FBI, on other cases, to ascertain why a reward is not being offered. A standard reply is, "We are considering it." If I'm not mistaken, it was Indiana authorities who requested that a gag order to be placed, in order, for them to visit and interview with DN.
There is no reason for the gag not to be lifted now, with DN back in IN. In six more days, Abby and Libby's murders will see the one year anniversary. LE has all test reports back by now. Yet, LE is continuing to ask the public for assistance on IDing BG. If it was DN, LE would know that by now.
Also, Colorado is my father's favorite state in the Union. Therefore, since I could walk, I've been to CO so often that I have lost count. We spent over a week in Boulder's Historic Chautauqua Park in 2014. CO is unique. Almost every road has a bike lane. Where there isn't one, cyclists may take an entire lane. Residents march to their own drum which is reflected by their governing laws. It is one of the most laid back states I've personally visited. The Denver airport is a marvel to me. I actually find it almost terrifying whereas, my SIL, the architect, sees the artistic beauty, when I read the art, on the interior's tiles, on a deeper level, I suppose. I don't have the stats handy but I would gander to claim that CO is one of our countries' states with the highest level of education. They work hard then, relax completely. All of that data is from my personal experiences, at no charge.
