Has ANYONE been ruled out in this case?
Yep. Something like 200 RSO.
Has ANYONE been ruled out in this case?
TG and his daughter are both on the Facebook discussion page of this case. He was just posting a short while ago. JMO but I believe he stands by what he saw.
Thanks for the info, I didn't think it was taken the day TG reported seeing the bikes.
So TG, who has said all along that he rides his bike there a few times a week, happened to be photographed talking to LE at the lake on the Monday after the girls vanished? That makes him suspicious?
Come on, can't we just leave this guy alone.
What we know of TG is that he swerved to miss two bikes on the trail the day the girls disappeared, later heard that the girls were missing, and like a good citizen he went to the lake to tell LE what he saw that day. He did the best he could to ascertain the time he saw the bikes by determining when he called his daughter (12:27 p.m.) and working backwards, he figured out it was around 12:20 p.m. LE asked him to report what he saw to the police station, which he did.
Nothing TG has done seems the least bit incriminating, IMO.
Police officers talking with TG on July 16th:

Just thought of something. Perhaps TG saw the bikes lying on the path before the two sided fencing started. And the girls did just drop them to explore the woods and may have been in there when he passed.
Maybe that's why we're not getting any clarification here. Because that's a huge clue if the bikes were later found further up the path neatly resting on the fence with the purse on the lake side...like a staging. And might explain the dogs heading straight to the woods, down the path from the bikes. They may have checked out the lake for a second because the purse was there but they started at the spot where the bikes were, sniffed the lake area where the purse was, but then headed straight for the woods?
IF TG is still posting on the FB group, can someone on there maybe ask him if he ever did go to the Evansdale Police Station to make a report. Because he certainly did not make one to off duty CEDAR RAPIDS policemen who were there helping in the search. They would have told him to go to the police station as they could not have taken a report from him. And that's exactly what the article says. The reporter(s) would have spoken with him before he actually made the report and he told them that he saw the bikes laying on the path. Then they reported that he went to the Evansdale Police Dept to report the sighting because that's likely where he told them he was going when he left them.
MOO
do you mean that the family was not seen searching or that the witnesses were not in the park?
Lots of things going through my mind right now but the Big Thing I would like to clarify is if LE have talked to the man that told Aunt Tammy that he saw the children at the park, BECAUSE Abben sure sounds as if he is saying that they have no witnesses who saw them there or anywhere else around town that day!
Hope I didn't imply I thought TG did anything wrong. My question is why LE spokesman denies knowledge of him.
How do you know TG didn't see the girls? Oh, because he said so.
I agree - we really need to know where on the path he saw their bikes. Exact same spot as where they were found by LE - or some place else? I think that is really important. The other important piece imo is why Abben is denying knowledge of him.

As far as I know, there has been NO ONE who witnessed the girls at the lake that day.
Aunt Tammy said a man told her he had seen two girls, but he doesn't count as a witness because he could have seen any two girls, not necessarily Lyric and Elizabeth. I don't think Tammy got any personal info from the man, so LE has no way to question him (unless that man contacts LE himself with the info).TG saw two bikes on the trail that day at approx. 12:20 p.m., but he isn't a witness obviously because he didn't see the girls, and the bikes could have belonged to anyone.
My take on it is that Abben knows that someone reported seeing two bikes on the trail at the lake on the day the girls disappeared, but I don't think he was given that person's name because it wasn't relevant at that time.
