Just wanted to add...it looks shorter on the map because it really isn't that much of a distance. Traffic congestion is what takes the travel time up.
Thank you.

So he:
arrives at work 9:30
lunch 12:00-1:00
leaves 4:20
Definitely NOT a normal work day for an entry level web developer at a fortune 500 company. If he were one of the founders? Then yeah.
Nice workday, eh? And when he left at 4:20 we think it may have been to eat again (or at least to drink).
Happy Birthday tomorrow!!! :hugs:
Where does his cell ping at before work? at lunch?
Who did he call during the day?
Who was he meeting after work for drinks and a movie?
Did daycare call him or his wife?
Watching Nancy Grace. She is almost unbearable but she has good tidbits and interesting guests.
Mom speaks at Funeral and they played the tape. Mom's happy list.
"I am happy a list of things my son will skip. His first heartbreak. I won't have to see that. Junior high and high school - I didn't like. Who to sit with in those awkward middle school years. He will not have to suffer through the death of his grandparents. The death of me and Ross."
Did it actually say by foot? Couldn't he have gone with a coworker in their car?
Greetings, rollingstone. And :welcome: to our little hideaway in the sky.
Ah, the highly competitive SEC that includes LSU, Ole Miss, and Bama. The couple, the Harris', had lived in Tuscaloosa Home of Roll Tide U of A. There are several photos online of Cooper with his daddy at various ball fields.
About 12 hours ago someone posted a link to a map and I am just now getting to look at it. It is a map of Starkville where MS State Bulldawgs shake their cowbells. JRHarris apparently drove from U of A @ Tuscaloosa to Starkville for a ballgame. [modsnip]
If JRHarris is a big Bama fan, the team colors are maroon and white. Not red and white. Never red for Bama. So, Cooper's casket was the color red and not maroon to indicate dedication to a SEC Team? Then, the red colored casket was selected because Cooper had recently learned to say the word red, iirc.
I wanna slap somebody. Cooper Harris may have grown to become another Joe Namath for the University of Alabama.
Okay. So here is the link to the map of Starkville from RoscoeUA 's photobucket account. Innocuous. Nothing here but the Harris guy attended a ballgame on the campus at MS State University in Starkville, MS. Only a few photos are there and they appear to be innocent college motifs.

No one is going to like what I have to say here.
I read the whole thing, too. It is intense and yes, thought provoking. It does support my belief that sometimes accidents can happen. Sometimes, hideous tragedies can happen to incredibly good parents. Including forgetting a baby who is left to broil to death in a car.
I clearly remember the case of the Irvine professor. I remember when that happened and have been thinking about it since this case made the news. I felt horrified by what had happened and horrified for the professor when it occurred. I did not think he should've been prosecuted and I was glad when he was not. That man was destroyed by his forgetfulness. It was awful.
I especially liked this part of the article: I've often had that thought - that people are unduly harsh regarding various cases - usually instantly blaming parents when their kids get kidnapped, for not watching them properly, for example - because it creates an illusion of safety that it can never happen to them. I just never saw a psychologist support that feeling.
But let me also say this: None of what is in that article, none of what I read there, changes my mind about the father in this case and his culpability.
---Research on hot car deaths of children a day or so before his baby died in a hot car.
---3 separate contacts with his child, in the span of an hour from when he "forgot", placing him in and taking him out of the car he eventually left him in. 3, separate contacts involving his baby and his car, that very morning.
---3 minutes. 3 Minutes.
I'm sorry. There's no way. This case shares nothing with those featured in the articles, except that a baby died in a hot car.
I have cheated so much today it's horrible. I will be doing the same Thursday during the hearing!Lol! Same here on work getting in the way of my WS time! I just can't keep up with all the posts!

:facepalm: no! It did not say by foot! Sorry, my first thought was that he walked.
These little puzzle pieces are making me nuts!

Mr. Harris drove to his office at Home Depot which took FOX 5 three minutes and 14 seconds to time.
According to police, in that time, Mr. Harris said he forgot about his son and went inside to work. Court records show Mr. Harris went back to his car to put something in it 2-and-a-half hours later.
Two different law enforcement sources tell FOX 5 during that lunch hour Mr. Harris left his work property to go out to lunch, but didnt take his car.
4) Bail : if all he has to post is 10% bond, the $20,000 may get it , I don't expect it to be much more than $200,000 to $500,000
Sorry but that is absolutely bizarre to me. Most parents would be speaking about the special times and milestones their departed child won't get to experience (first day of school, first crush, prom, first date, first job, etc). Just such a bizarre way of looking at things, IMO.
