I think everyone here has a lot of good suggestions as to what or why and some are just way out ther IMO. I would just like to put some questions out there to think about but as myself and not a friend. As far as I know through media the Hummer has not been given back to DS and I would assume they would have to hold it until this was all said and done. If someone knows for sure these procedures please let me know. Based on my assumptions why would he not just go to court for it? I don't remember it being mentioned on PC.
I do not follow a lot of these types of cases but if LE felt so strongly to name him the one and only no doubt about it suspect they would have had to have a lot of evidence so why no arrest? Now I know with an arrest the clock starts ticking down to trial but they felt really confident to announce it so many days into the investigation without a body so why not arrest?
Also some opinions seem to contradict themselves IMO for example some say he planned it but why he do it on a day she is dropping off the twins TO HIM and right after to PC showing nationally? Why not wait til the twins are not around and she's getting off work or something? Some time that would not lead directly to him? Then some say it was heat of the moment but there was not evidence that we have heard of from the search of his home to make it seem like there was a struggle. If it was in the heat of the moment you would think there would be some mistakes but she has not been found.
I've always felt like this had something to do with her bartending. She worked in some shady areas where all type of people go to drink. She was obviously a friendly girl since everyone seems to have good things to say about her, maybe someone took that "friendly service" to the extreme. Maybe it was someone who knew about her and DS and waited for their chance but then she got together with NM and it set them off??
It just all seems to fall together so nicely around him and I would think that if someone would go to the trouble to actually harm someone that they would not let it all the evidence circle around them. Also just one more little nugget to chew on and a question.. Was it not stated that DS was being cooperative? Until of course the lie dectector situation? Then he was named suspect because of that? I would certainly get a defense attorney after being named the only suspect in my ex's disapperance whether I was guilty or not. Plus DS has been around this type of situation before he knows it's all going to come out during the investigation so you think with his knowledge of the criminal system it would be best to get an attorney as to not incriminate yourself guilty or not. At least that would be the way I would thinking. But this is MOO!
Seems the case is slowing down a bit
I've seen a few good theories thrown out the past few days
IMO I think "if" Dale WAS framed it's probably the same guy who framed Josh Powell & OJ... Just saying
If you have followed the case from the beginning and tracked Dale's activity (online and in person), his inactions and behavior, IMO none of this would lead a person to reasonably conclude Dale played no role in Michelle's disappearance. IMO there is evidence linking Dale to various online personas on Facebook and other forums that if he were innocent such evidence would not exist
Why take time to blame the victim if you truly care about her, concerned about your kids not having a mother, and want to see her found?
That being said, there has not been sufficient evidence to prove a crime was committed and Dale was involved. This DOES NOT mean he is innocent, simply that the DA probably does not think the case is winnable at this point. He was good at covering the right tracks. IMO DAs like to look good and want slam dunk cases
No body, no DNA, and no witnesses does not make an easy case
The cookie crumbs all lead back to Dale so he did make mistakes and I have seen quite a few of them. His day in jail is coming. May take a while but I am confident the truth will eventually "come out"...
For now, some things Dale has going for him:
1. Time - it's been more than 4 months since MP was last seen.
2. 42 minutes magically disappeared and conveniently aided Dale in establishing an alibi
3. No DNA, witnesses, or body found. These provide reasonable doubt and keep Dale out of jail. They show either good pre planning or an extraordinary ability to cover up a crime. I lean toward the former rather than the later.
Many will say if this was planned, why that day, why would he want to be the last known person to see her, etc, etc, etc
IMO November 17th was carefully chosen to provide reasonable doubt. Michelle was embarrassed. Did she just disappear to avoid embarrassment? Dales actions on FB via his bragging about being on the show add credibility to this day being important. He can then say, Hey look I wasnt mad I was telling everyone about it
The date helps him with reasonable doubt. Why would he be that stupid to plan that date? IMO it helps him more than harms him...
His place (condo) is important as it gives him the largest amount of control/access and least likelihood that witnesses see anything. The time of day is important as Dale would most likely know who was and wasnt at work that day. There was probably no struggle as Dale could have ambushed her, drugged her and taken her alive or snapped her neck and placed her in items that would prevent detection (storage container, plastic, etc.)
It just all seems to fall together so nicely around him because IMO it was him involved. No matter how hard I try to keep an open mind, everything leads back to Dale...
