I'm about 5 pages behind currently and will try to catch up here shortly. In my next post I'm going to post the updated timeline. This one updates from 3/27 to current. I've gone through all the media links I had saved, haven't checked it against the map yet, but hopefully it's pretty close to accurate.

Could you all please give input again on it? Once we know it's accurate I can alert a mod to edit or delete/repost in the media/timeline thread.

Not sure the timeline is even relevant anymore to be honest, but maybe it will help in some way. Maybe we can use it to retrace his movements and possibly figure out where Relisha could be.

We need an accurate date on the Richmond sighting. Was it the 20th of March? What day did they then recover the GMC truck, back from Richmond, and found in Maryland.

Is LE certain that Tatum was there in Richmond with the cellphone and the truck at Gilpin Court.

I agree with old window... He didn't need to go all the way to Richmond to get a gun. If he was with his phone and the GMC truck, in Richmond, then it was for some other reason.
 
Exactly, but I think people want to make certain that the fingerprints of the dead suspect and DNA from his remains actually matches with previously submitted samples. In addition, to run all of it through CODIS just in case the original samples were taken, even submitted but have yet to be entered into the database. No stone unturned.

Of course, and I imagine his fingerprints were taken and run shortly after he was found! When his prints are run it will show whether or not DNA is on file. Even AFIS will show that.

Most state crime labs are constantly backed up. It takes time to enter into CODIS. Tatum's DNA would have been entered some time ago, IMO. I was trained at the Louisiana State Crime Lab and my certificate/license was from there. I took enough hours so that I could teach the procedure of taking inmates DNA to booking officers.

MOO
 
I am not at all surprised about child *advertiser censored* being part of this investigation. I think video taken on 3/1 is tied to it and the reason they refuse to say where she was the last time she was seen alive.

I hope there are some major arrests soon. The whole "Dr. Tatum" BS and her being missing for so long says many knew what was going on there.

If you have a place to live in the area, you don't go check into a room unless there is a valid reason. My guess is he was worried about police or DC CFSA coming to their home by that time so what did he tell his wife? Did his wife know he was given a little girl? I really doubt it. The way her children speak of her, she was loving and kind. I haven't seen the children say a word about Tatum.

bbm- Bouncing off of this, and slightly O/T, I mentioned earlier about the SM posts that circulated a lot last year where the FBI (ECAP) and ICE (Operation Predator) released flyers of individuals they are looking for, and in a few cases the only thing they had to identify them was a house or the interior of a house. I wouldn't be afraid to bet that's exactly why Tatum used hotels instead of his own home.

Here's two of those posters for individuals they have yet to catch.
http://www.ice.gov/doclib/predator/pdf/johnDoe1.pdf (interior of a home)
http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/ecap/unknown-individual/view (exterior of a home)

FWIW there are still quite a few people being sought by these agencies if anyone is interested in taking a look at the flyers or posting them on SM

Did we ever see the video of MAM leaving alone in Shaniya's case?
That would bother me... I'm guessing they didn't release it because it would be disturbing.
Clearly if he walks out of the hotel room carrying a big bag he didn't walk in with, that would be unpleasant.

Yes, it would be disturbing but it would also stop the tug and pull of false hope. Even though I think I know Relisha is no longer with us when I read a post about a detective looking into child *advertiser censored* hope flickers within me again.

If he walked out of the hotel room carrying a big bag I would think more people would be incensed over what he did to the child and maybe be more active in resolving the issue of where Relisha's body is. Slap the public with the video showing Tatum leaving. IMO the see saw of uncertainty is what tears a person up.

Listening to FBI makes me think he was dead since the 21 or so.

The exhibit just ended actually.
They are painted by prisoners so prisoners can have their photos taken in front of them to send to family or have family pictures taken on visits. It's an interesting phenomenon. I think I've seen a documentary about it but I can't remember. The photographer who has documented the prison images is Alyse Emdur.
Interesting article http://www.wired.com/2013/02/prison-portraits-alyse-emdur/

All I can say is wow.
