What is a totally understandable explanation is that the lack of the hospital's surveillance equipment filming Dina is b/c she remained by her dying son's bedside.
What is very significant about this often repeated speculation is that even the SDSO didn't say anything even close to this at their press conference. When asked if Dina was seen on security cameras, there is an awkward pause, and then a hesitant and awkward (IMO) explanation that Dina's position was established using triangulation of her cell phone, which placed her "in the vicinity" of Rady. Even Gore himself would not commit to saying that Dina was even INSIDE the hospital! That is a HUGELY significant piece of information about Dina's whereabouts during the time in question.
I will say again that if the best evidence you have for someone who claimed to be on the property, inside a busy pediatric hospital, and inside a pediatric ICU is "cell phone triangulation", then that is a pretty weak alibi. She could have left her phone on a charger in her car in a parking lot or ramp. The location of the phone, in a situation like this, is pretty weak evidence.
And if the civil suit gets to the point that depositions are taken (and I hope it does), I feel that extensive time will be devoted to establishing the exact whereabouts of each of the named defendants during the time in question. These questions will be exceedingly detailed, and require substantiation of others. If someone claimed they were alone, or walking outside, or driving, then cell phone triangulation may be the best that LE could do to establish their whereabouts.
The fact is, Dina claims to be AT THE BEDSIDE in a very busy ICU for hours on end, during the time in question. And there has not been a single shred of evidence beyond Gore's "cell triangulation" that even places her inside the hospital. If there was, Gore's comments
would have included something like "Rady security cameras document Dina entering X door entrance at XYZ time. And again entering the unit ICU entrance door at XYZ time. Comments in the child's records and eyewitness staff reports confirm Dina was at the bedside of the child during the time in question."
THAT would be an alibi for someone's whereabouts who claims to be in a busy ICU. Dina should appear on a NUMBER of cameras inside Rady, beginning with a parking garage or parking lot. Hospitals are extensively mapped with cameras, and pediatric hospitals have an even higher density of cameras and security features due to worries about child abduction. Every inch of every common area, hallway, sidewalk, cafeteria etc is under surveillance. There is simply no way a visitor can "walk into" a public or ICU entrance, or "walk out" of a public or ICU entrance, escaping camera detection-- particularly after hours, when door security tightens.
With 100% confidence, I can state that a camera at the entrance of the ICU should have captured her entering the unit. And exiting, at the time she left.
I hope that LE directed that a whole bunch of cameras be interrogated to establish that Dina showed up on some of them during OTHER times that she visited Rady. She's not exactly transparent or anything! She can't teleport herself into the ICU to Max's beside, right? She HAD to show up somewhere. She is a tall, distinctive looking woman who would be easy to see.
But now it's 2 years later, and with confidence, I can also say that any evidence from the security cameras has long been written over. I don't think ANY security surveillance still exists to comb thru, since no criminal charges were filed. So all we have left is Max's medical records.
And I will state again, that if there is ANY evidence in Max's records to establish that she was at the bedside, then why would Dina not produce it and post it on her websites, to shut down all of the speculation? If she truly has an ironclad alibi, then why keep it a secret for 2 years?
IMO, it doesn't exist.
IMO, Max's records
will be subpoenaed to establish any evidence of her presence or absence in the ICU during the time in question. And also to establish
what Dina was told about Max's injuries and prognosis, and
when she was told.
Dina should be very, very worried that there is nothing that establishes where she was during the time of Rebecca's death, other than a generalized location of her cell phone.
