It certainly is something to consider. Not a peep has been mentioned of him since way early on.
I don't consider him at all.
Thanks Jaylergirl! I was getting a little bit frazzled by all of the hoopla over the new boyfriend when I didn't think there was a chance of him having anything to do with it. Sometimes things just go off on tangents. LE CLEARLY have to have reason for naming Djr as the only suspect, especially since they did so PUBLICLY.
Are you a local?
Agreed. If there was anything off about this guy's past, the media would have been all over it as well as LE.
Rapist murderer types usually murder their new date the day they first go out on a date. And I don't know of an abuser type killer who has murdered their girlfriend having dated for only a month or two. It tales time for the novelty of the new relationship to wear off and the feeling of ownership to soldify in abusers. And they usually start with small, subtle efforts at control, such as checking where their girlfriend is, frowning when she talks to other men, acting physically possessive in crowds or when out among other people, by constantly hanging on to the girl, etc.
After a month or so, it can begin to change to arguments about who she is speaking to, more overt efforts at controlling what she wears, who she talks to and where she goes. Accusations of flirting or not giving him enough attention begin.
That segueways into more rough "arguments", then name calling: "You look like a *advertiser censored*." Then, if he finds he can get away with harsh name calling, a grab after that, a shove now and then may occur. If he is not kicked to the curb after that, he can escalate to outright hitting.
It usually isn't until then that he feels enough sense of control and possession that he totally owns the girlfriend and can do what he wants with her, including hurting her or disposing of her. ETA: Either that or then or once they are married or have children together. Then he may feel he "owns" her, even if it never escalated to hardcore battery.
But all of that generally takes time. I can't think of such a case where a murder has happened after such a short time of meeting, involving an abuser type.
Given all of that, the fact the media is not on him and LE is clearly looking elsewhere, at a guy who does have that crazy history of violence, etc., I don't consider looking at the boyfriend as keeping an open mind. It just feels like a cheap shot to me.
I didn't quote the post about what NM does for a job just in case the mods weren't feeling generous. But, thanks to the poster. I don't want to get into trouble on my first week as an official member!
I'd actually like to hear more from NM. He spoke with a lot of credibility and he was very clear in what he communicated in his interview (the video). I thought that his words, tone and expressions were very sincere. That aside, I think that he could probably clear up a great deal of the confusion that was created when the media "interpreted" his statements, Specifically, the bit about him talking to Michelle after she dropped off the twins.
I have not seen a direct quote from him that he spoke to her after she dropped off the kids. Until I do, that is the media's interpretation and they usually go off the combined reports of everyone involved. Dale is the one who said she dropped off the kids and left. There is reason to believe that is not true.
