I'm not sure that LE investigating the case had any more than the usual amount of blindness toward suspects beyond the obvious one. I've seen cases in my area go the same way for the same reason, but if they've done their homework otherwise, they can go back to square one and see where the evidence leads.
If she was taken and killed by somebody outside the immediate family, the case becomes much more difficult to prove.
But LE DID view the tapes, correct? If Hailey had been at the motel, wouldn't she also have been on the tapes? IIRC, LE never reported that Hailey appeared on any of the tapes.
What is the motivation behind LE purposely keeping a possible suspect from the parents and the public?
I am all for conspiracy theories, but in this case, I sincerely think you are grasping at straws. jmo
No phantom suspects, just the same POI(s) since Hailey disappeared.
:moo: :moo: :moo:
Then it should have been easy for LE to prove that she was seen that day IF that was true. As for anyone close to the family being a POI well Shawn was close to a member of the family so that's true enough especially as hes the only named POI.
I think there must be some big piece of evidence that points to Sean's noninvolvement, or some missing piece that ought to be there. They had their eye on him from the beginning but it seemed like none of the things that pointed to him panned out on investigation.
I am glad you brought up the child *advertiser censored* that wasn't.
That is a perfect example of what LE did to try to "make their case" without doing any work. They knew there was no child *advertiser censored*, yet when that shocking announcement came from LE, most people believed there was disgusting child *advertiser censored*, and that that was "proof of guilt."
I believe LE (Mitchel Co. and C-City particularly) in their incompetent laziness thought that would force a "confession."
It sickens me to this day that the originators of that lie never cleared it up by making a big announcement that there was never any child *advertiser censored*. There are still many people, including an unmentionable blogger who knows better, still perpetuating this lie because it suits their purpose. If only LE had done their jobs in the beginning, at the very least, a killer would have been caught and Hailey would the justice everyone wants her to have, in my opinion.
That is not necessarily the point. If someone connected to her disappearance was at the motel, they would have appeared on the video (perhaps) even though HD did not. If the parents particularly wanted to see those tapes, they might have been expecting to perhaps see someone they knew. If those suspicions were not communicated to LE for whatever reason, LE would not know who they should be looking for on the tapes, and if the parents were not given, or given very limited access, then a potential suspect could have been missed.
In any case, if HD had gone there to meet up with someone, she may not have gone onto the property itself, just near it, while the person she was meeting was on the property. If that happened, she would not have appeared on security cameras, but the other individual could well have.

That is exactly what I was trying to say!
As for why Hailey was not on the tapes, what you say could be the reason, although supposedly the dogs hit inside.
There could be many reasons.
LE, under the city manager, Kampfer's, iron control, never gave out any information they should have in order to help Hailey, and they gave out a lot they should not have, which harmed the investigation, in my opinion.
Certain "investigators" in the DA's office talking to a disturbed blogger (by his account, if even true) is only one example of many instances of police misconduct.
The lies about the child *advertiser censored* is another.
What about only releasing what LE claimed where two of SA's pings. Why just his?
Why not the phone BJD left at home? The one several neighbors saw Hailey talking on that Monday?

One thing I don't understand about the child *advertiser censored* and there being none Billie said herself in an interview with the media that LE showed her some of it so if there was none where did that come from that she was shown?

Who knows? They might have told her it was his when it wasn't, to try to jolt her into revealing something. There's no law that says LE can't lie to you and I suspect a lot of that happened in this case.
Now she has broken up with SA, and so does not mind throwing a few darts his way from time to time, but still doesn't really know who killed HD.
Adkins was Billie's "live-in boyfriend" before, during, and after the crime was committed, with the "during" being the most significant point in time. IMO, its quite accurate that he's referred to as such. While there may be issues some believe indicate a clueless LE, this IMO, cannot be twisted into being an indicator of their "not having a clue". Jmo.
I think it more likely was them trying to convince her that he was a bad guy who did something to her daughter, and therefore she should come up with something incriminating, true or not, to get "justice".
If you look at it that way, it is just another piece in an attempt to "solve" the case by gathering evidence that backed up their gut feeling while ignoring that which did not.
I think they got her playing along for a while, but then she realized what they were up to, especially once she had an opportunity to see what the facts really were. My guess is that she figured out that SA probably had nothing to do with it, and after that she didn't trust the sheriff anymore.

Considering she had called LE and told them that Shawn was threatening to kill her before Hailey ever went missing I suspect she knows for herself that " he was a bad guy" and from all accounts she wasn't the only one he threatened.

She didn't call LE because he was threatening to kill her, she called LE because she thought he was going to take her stuff. The "threat" was incidental to that, one of apparently many things she said to LE, so much so that they were getting annoyed with her.
The "threat" was almost certainly one of those idle comments people make when they are fighting verbally. It was not a real threat. My take on that story is that it was something she threw in to get LE to act on her behalf to stop SA from taking anything from her house.
There is nothing in MSN to suggest that SA was violent. The only story of a physical incident was an account by the GM of an altercation between SA and CD at some point in the past, and according to her story SA was abysmally incompetent as a fighter, she described him pretty much as a joke they laughed at. You might think that as evidence of his "violent nature", but what it tells me is that he is the sort of guy who has no experience at all fighting, and probably he had been taunted until he lost his temper. With guys like that, he might on occasion get mad, but it very rarely gets violent, and when it does those they do not present a threat typically.
If you look at BD it is pretty clear that she is an aggressive, controlling woman when it comes to men (both SA and CD seem like the quite submissive type when it comes to their relationships) who insists of having things done her way and on her terms. I seriously doubt that she would have stuck around with any man if he was abusing her in some way, especially if she was the breadwinner. That type of woman simply does not do that. She just does not seem like the doormat type at all.
