that was emotionally draining. I am still processing what all we learned and LE is said to have much much more.
What we learned today:
Carseat was forward facing til about two weeks prior to C's death
Sexting multiple women for the past year and on the day of Cooper's murder (yep, calling it that)
minor and possible future charges for computer crimes re their contact and misdemeanor crime of actual contact in some way.
pics of penis taken and sent while C in room with him
minor asked him if he ever was troubled by his conscious - reply NOPE
Computer searches regarding statutes and age of consent
R viewed a video twice of vet climbing in hot car and demonstrating what it is like for a hot animal in car. Vet filmed himself in the vehicle for approx half an hour describing in detail what it felt like to sit there cooking
the trip to publix with friends/coworkers for lunch punctuated by trip to home depot store across way for lightbulbs at R request
visit to car after returning from lunch was
ostensibly to put purchase in car
subreddit - child free life
life insurance policy $25,000 (adtl to one via work)
During interview with LE RH used a lot of cop lingo and told LE he was a former jailer then told them he was former dispatch
When told he was being arrested he told LE "but there was no malice or aforethought" (paraphrased)
While in room alone RH was described as pacing and trying to "work himself up" to the point of hyperventilation. LE viewed it as him attempting to feign or produce emotion where there was none genuinely
LH and RH in interview room alone while being recorded and videotaped:
LH asks if he said too much or something similar
RH told LH C looked peaceful in death with eyes and mouth closed. RH tells LH about "dreading" looking at C worried what he might look like but he looked peaceful
RH makes poor me comments "going to lose my job - why do I have to be punished??" etc (paraphrased)
Stoddard described C as mouth open tongue protruding, eyes half closed, horrible and noticeable odor of decomp in vehicle even hours later while performing search warrant.
at least one affair for RH in the past
an unexplained 6 minute call from RH to daycare LE feel he actually spoke to someone during that call as the daycare msg system is not equipped to take 6 minute long messages.
