Bluesky, your post is the first I've heard about DS' ankle monitor was faulty. Where did you read that Cobra said this, I missed it. TIA
I just don't understand how LE cleared DS so fast in this case, and will continue to wonder and ask til she's found and we know who did it. Too many red flags point towards DS.
1. His close proximity of residence to Haleigh's home
2. Him showing up a few times at Haleighbug center, on the premise of donating furniture to the organization because he says, "He heard they were in need of it". According to Jeremy Ragin, one of the founders of the foundation claims he told him he didn't want his name revealed. Flags
Then DS proceeds to interview with a reporter at the scene.
3. His latest known charges of child sexual predatory and criminal behavior done towards two young girls in his home with the parent standing outside of the home during the bondage and act.
4. The daughter of his last girlfriend tipping off LE along with another family member raising suspicions of his behaviors. Then giving an interview with Cobra describing her suspicions and testimony of her Mother about killing children and dismembering them.
5. Actual bloody shed on his property, and as far as we know not a thorough investigation.
6. Cobra being so close to this pervert, arresting him, and now Cobras in trouble, not the perp.
Hi Kool Look:
I transcribed Cobra's interview with Simon Barrett which will help answer your questions:
DS is charged with capital sexual battery, a serious charge that could result in the death penalty. DS's trial scheduled to begin on June 22, 2009 was postponed. Cobra is a licensed bondsman with the power of attorney, authority and permission to investigate the accused sexual predator's bond conditions after Snodgrass tried to donate furniture to the HBC. Cobra had C.E. Parish's permission to arrest Snodgrass for violating the judge's orders not to place himself around children and while on his way to surrender Snodgrass to the jail, Cobra received a call from Mr. Parish of Continental Heritage ordering Cobra to release Snodgrass. Parish blamed "poor communication" and told Snodgrass that his bond papers were determined to be in order and that Cobra would take him home.
DS filed charges of false imprisonment, a third degree felony against Cobra in May 09 and Cobra surrendered on May 22nd to the Putnam County Jail, then bonded out on charges of false imprisonment, a third degree felony. Cobra's trial date is set for December 14, 2009.
DS stated in his police report that when Cobra arrested him, he detained him for over an hour and Cobra has a solid witness who can testify that Cobra held DS for 38 minutes. According to Cobra, DS's GPS monitor says he was in the region for 9 1/2 minutes 2 blocks away at Weldon's Nursery but Cobra states they were at Dunn's Creek Bridge 5-10 miles away. Cobra has his telephone pings for the 24-hour period. (46:53)
2. Several investigators contacted LE March 20, 2009 to report DS was selling his furniture including his boat and car. DS showed up at the HBC to make a donation and when he was turned away because of his suspected crime against children, he returned to the HBC 3 or 4 times and screamed verbal insults at the people who worked there. Cobra did not see DS there but Kim Picasio did and she reported DS to LE. When LE got there, DS was "gone on arrival." Because LE couldn't identify DS as the same person in the computer photo taken in 2007, no arrest was made despite the fact people at the scene said "yes, that is him".
4. While DS is sitting in Cobra's car before he left for jail, DS blames his ex-wife for causing him problems. Misty Sanders, Sherlyn's daughter, went to Chuck's Bail Bond office and signed off as the guarantor of DS's loan of $78,000. The only protection the insurance company has is his GPS bracelet. (48:16)
6. I hope once the Judge hears Cobra's defense, the charges will be dropped. IMO DS is a manipulator, a liar, deceptive, disrespectful and very immature.
DS refused to understand and gracefully accept the reason why his donation was unacceptable at the HBC and he threw a tantrum and came back several times to protest.
I am afraid to think of how DS may have chosen to retaliate against Detective Ken Taylor's comment about him on national television after he was arrested, "DS is a piece of trash who is in jail where he needs to be", and the fact that 20 20 televised his upcoming trial on National television.
Cobra said he never asked DS if he had anything to do with HaLeigh's disappearance yet when Cobra arrested him, DS's unsolicited comments shocked Cobra. I won't include them here but if anyone is interested in listening to what DS said, let me know and I'll set it up for you.
Thanks for your prayers Kool Look.
