Wow! Is this true? Snodgrass had an escort service? And Misty posed for him?
Preface: Please do not think I'm an apologist for child molesters because I'm far [very far] from being that. I think they ought to be locked up and never let back out since there doesn't seem to be any known "cure" for this criminal/evil compulsion.
I'm not sure
any of the allegations are true, from the rape of the children on up through the visit to HBC, and perhaps more importantly with regard to the Haleigh case, the escort service, the ankle bracelet malfunction, the purported photos of Misty, the blood in the sheds, the burning of the sheds, the fire on the deck of Mr. Snodgrass' boat.
I think that the charge and the trial remain pending just in case there is something to them, or additional victims come forward.
JMO & without reviewing the court dockets -
There appear to be serious problems with the recollections provided by the indirect witnesses to the aforementioned incidents and information.
My primary hesitation regarding the witnesses is the credibility of those witnesses. I will be perfectly honest; I have never spoken with any of those involved re: Snodgrass, except for Mr. Staubs.
My opinion of the pet store owner is based on conversations recounted by other W/S members who have met her [or at least claim to have met her. IDK - I was not present for the conversations.] Were I to sit on a jury, I would not convict based on the rambling, nonsensical statements of the former wife/pet store owner.
My opinion about the M.S. woman's statements is based solely on the interview recorded by Mr. Staubs and broadcast on Mr. Barrett's show. M.S. is, for the most part, relaying statements she heard from her mother whom she admits during the interview was delusional on the day Haleigh was reported missing. I do not recall if M.S. stated that she herself had viewed the photographs of Misty. I do question her motivations for the answers she gave during the interview with Mr. Staubs. For that matter, I question her motivations for agreeing to speak with Mr. Staubs, period.
The interviews with the victim(s) are not public record, and I would be reluctant to "bash" a victim in any case, especially a minor. As such, we are left with the pet store owner, M.S., and Cobra. JMO none of the three are credible.
