He was definitely shocked to hear that a BODY had been found.
All that McD replied was "body?"
and then, "I think I need to sit down."
My thoughts are:
If he were innocent wouldn't he have asked questions based along this line:
Where did they find a body?
Who found it?
Are they sure it is Lauren?
What happened to her?
Are they sure she is dead?
Who could have done this?
Do they know who killed her?
Those are the thoughts that come to my mind if I were told that my neighbor's body was found in the parking lot.
In the video McD makes no inquiry.
Maybe he did off camera and it was not recorded. (??)
I think he was in complete shock at the repercussions of the body being found.
Now, everything had changed.
Another thing that catches my attention is when the reporter asks
"Did she have any enemies, do you know of anyone who would want to hurt her?"
McD avoids that question and redirects the conversation: "We don't know where she is..." then he proceeds to comment with reference to her running and that maybe someone snatched her.
Another point from the video:
In part 1 and part 2 of the video McD explicitly states that
"No one has seen her since Saturday".
This interview was 5 days later. He was studying for the bar. How did he know that NO ONE had seen Lauren since Saturday?
He also makes a comment about her car that is odd to me:
When asked by the reporter Michelle Quesada if that was Lauren's car. He states that "No that car was Detective Patterson's... Lauren's car had been there for days."
Why would he think that her car had been there for days? How would he know that she had not driven her car when he was not aware?
***************************
These are very tell tale signs for me.
What do you think about these points?
Your ideas are appreciated.
I think that, like much else concerning Stephen McDaniel right now, those points could be either very innocent or very damning -- I can turn a switch in my mind and see them either way.
