Not like the others
You know it was interesting, I was just reading this article above from 2008 again. And it's almost like the Tara Baker case was two different cases. If you read the older articles before like, I don't know, maybe 2014, you get one version. And if you read something newer than like 2014, you get another version.
In this article in 2008, it talks about an anonymous source that said it was an unforced entry. In fact I think I even saw that in some other articles from before that date too. Yet later on, when I spoke about the idea that there was an unforced entry in this case, everyone acted like I was saying something really unheard of and outrageous. These were people like police or other people familiar with the case. They challenged me as to how I would even think that. And in fact people almost acted like I had inside knowledge of the case or something, when I said that lol. And in fact, after that, I tried to Google something about that subject and I didn't see anything about it again. So then I kind of wondered if I ever even did read that.
Well I just happened to Google this article, luckily, and now I see that it's in there, so yes, I did read about that before. It was public knowledge in 2008, and it had been public knowledge for years. But for some reason, more recently, people knowledgeable about the case tried to make me think that it wasn't.
That's what I mean about this case, it has gone through so many changes. First, it was a white guy, with no DNA, and no sexual assault. Mentions of an unforced entry. And a very unusual style of killing.
Then it became a black guy, 'with' DNA, a sexual assault, a commonplace method of killing, and no mentions of unforced entry.
Interesting how the information about this case basically went 180° in the time it's been unsolved. Of course, the information that I heard earlier on, made me think one way about the case, and now the new information makes me think a whole different way about the case. In terms of suspect, motive, etc.
