It is a source of continuous frustration to me as a debt consultant.
We have so much technology but the dunderheads in charge of the purse strings choose not to use it in an effective and streamlined manner. You see it in almost every organisation except the extremely successful ones.
Fortunately, LE are finally beginning to catch up and pool information and resources in an orderly fashion but these changes are only reluctantly being adopted and are still patchy at best. I personally believe we have witnessed an unusual amount (or do I mean, a typical amount?) of inter-agency miscommunication in this case.
Jumping off your post GrainneDhu. I think this timeline from the December 10, 2012 issue of The Gazette is informative and shows that LE was looking at possibilities other than drowning. The timeline is based on Kent Smock's notes.

Judge Peter Newell, in fact, issued an arrest warrant in June after Detective Dave MacDonald with the Bremer County Sheriff's Office filed criminal complaints against Porath.
"Porath was out of the country at the time the charges were filed. My information was that he was in Tanzania for his job," MacDonald said.
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents detained Porath on Dec. 21 as he tried to re-enter the United States at the airport in Detroit

So it could not have been this guy as he was in Tanzania in July.
<snipped for space, etc.> I'd like to give EVERYONE that posts on here these days a big pat on the back for not giving up hope on finding the killer(s) of our girls. :thewave:
Amen and thank you, Chelsea, for IMHO being one of those special posters!
:websleuther: O.K., my mind is working overtime today, which is why I got a weird idea, and this is why.
Last year my husband had to go through VitalChek online to get a certified copy of his birth certificate from another state. He ordered it, and it never came. :waitasec:
The certificate was supposed to arrive within 7 days, and after a month of it not arriving and calling the state's county clerk everyday that mailed it out, we finally found out the Waterloo Post Office had sent it to the address on the label ... which turned out to be a misprint on the label from the county clerk of the state it was sent out of.
It was an address on our street that didn't even exist! Where did the mailman deliver it to if the number doesn't exist? The county clerk records showed it never was sent back to the return address. That meant ANYONE had the worst thing for us that a criminal could get his hands on to steal.... my husbands identity. We called the police, and they they told us it must have been delivered to a house on our street, and since the post office wasn't going to do anything, they asked for me to go door to door and ask if anybody got it. I did, and all my neighbors said no. It ended there. The Waterloo Police Department didn't do anything, the county clerk from the state that sent it out didn't do anything, the Waterloo Post Office wasn't going to do anything and any criminal had open game to a copy of my husbands BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!! :what:
SNIPPED for space
Maybe that is what it takes to get this solved. All police, FBI and other departments don't always work together, and maybe they could help but haven't been authorized or asked to help on this case. Maybe this is over our heads? Maybe it's some drug ring cartel case to Mexico or some other country, or who knows where that went bad? We don't know. Anyway.. what do you all think?
WOW!! I'm impressed!! A) that you thought to call Homeland Security, and B) that they responded and found it so quickly!! Nice job!!
Hopefully the perp(s) who did this will get junked up or totally intoxicated.....or both and let things slip.
I recall reading that Lyric's dad had reprimanded her for not doing chores. Then I read she was in trouble with her dad for going missing 4 days before. Lyric wanted to run away and her GM stopped her. I wonder what the real story is. Was David a really strict parent or was this just an ususual event?
I really wouldn't know why a dad who had no custody would reprimand a daughter that he was around apparently. Got me other than trying to build a relationship? I have no idea.
Yeah, 4 days before Lryic and her cousin Elizabeth went missing for a bit they didn't show up on time. They were to be at a park close by. But did show up when the call was being made, is my understanding. It didn't sound like they were where they were suppose to be though as family didn't find them at the park.
Dan Morrissey is the father of Lyric Cook-Morrissey.
I don't doubt anything George. Not when a horrible outcome for the girl's happened. It's horrific to me. Two young girls & I mean very young. I give equal opportunity to see the best in what is presented. Unfortunetly, all I know of Dan is the MSM reports. Well, maybe some fb sites too. I sift through all. The fact remains he's going to prison and maybe for a long time. His sentence will be something to be interested in. I do not accuse him of harming the girls. I did think of him on first thought when they went missing. jmo First thought...
I truely hope not but it seems to be going the way of Haleigh Cummings case. Oh please don't make me follow another like this. I probably will...darn it.
I know this is off topic but as I sat here reading (before I got to the end) I was giggling thinking about this family who when every day they go get their mail it's ANOTHER copy of some stranger's birth certificate! :floorlaugh:
"Honey...guess what came in the mail today?"
"Let me guess... 5th copy of that guy's birth certificate"
:floorlaugh::floorlaugh:
I'm glad you got it all worked out though...that could ended badly had it gotten into the wrong hands.
