Actually "we" don't have much if any info as to what happened to Michelle and as far as I'm concerned neither does LE. Also, nothing DIRECTLY points to Dale at all. I know, he's a bad man who has a checkered past. I'm not talking about all that. I'm talking about actual direct proof that Dale is responsible for the disappance of Michelle. I'm all ears if anyone would like to post some.
Ok for sake of argument here
lets assume that there is no DNA, witnesses, or physical proof that Dale was responsible. This MAY be the case. Just because none of those exist doesnt mean he is innocent. There are NUMEROUS cases where you know who was involved but cannot prove it (OJ, Josh Powell, etc, etc). There are also plenty of cases where innocent people get convicted for crimes they never commited
.However, in Michelles case, I can count at LEAST 10 red flags that lead back to Dale:
1) Last known person to see her alive
2) Lied about when she arrived and left
3) Had a financial incentive to see her disappear
4) Refused to take a lie detector test
5) Did not help in ANY searches or activities to help locate Michelle BEFORE being named a suspect. Besides a few poor me posts on FB, what did he do to help find Michelle?
6) Michelles phone (pings and activity) start at Dales condo and travel same path toward Rose Blvd. (where Dales destination for the day was). Phone was ultimately found midway between Jr and Srs.
7) Dale was missing and refused to answer MULTIPLE incoming phone calls during the most critical point when Michelle went missing (within first 2 hours).
8) Told Michelle Youre day is coming
9) Using a ficticious FB account, Dale claimed Michelle was a known escort and one of her customers did something to her.
10) Physically and mentally abused her in the past and left her stranded on multiple occasions.
Take one of these and it can go either way, but when you add up all the FACTS you see a pretty compelling pattern that leads back to one SINGLE person
Thats why Dale was and will continue to be the PRIME suspect. Other than that I have no strong opinions
