This is the thing that gets me the most and leads to my suspicions that TH is definitely involved with Kyron's disappearance:
The coincidence of these two particular but separate events in one person's life inside a few months:
(1) The person's stepchild disappears.
(2) Someone accuses the person of hiring them to kill the person's husband.
Unless the landscaper is the one who kidnapped Kyron and is trying to frame TH, I can't imagine those two separate events happening "at random" so to speak to one individual. Either event would never ever happen at all to 99,999,999 people out of 100,000,000.
Both events happening in the span of a few months to the same person?
It is not so unlikely that 2) would follow 1), depending on the nature of 2).
Just for the sake of argument, what if the landscaper is someone who is a convicted sex offender who had not registered properly in accordance with Oregon's laws? Or what if the landscaper is an undocumented immigrant? Or what if the landscaper had a big ol' chunk of heroin in his pocket when LE tracked him down?
Might he not have very good reason to lie to LE in an attempt to mitigate or avoid bad consequences?
Heck, every high profile case gets its share of nuts implicating themselves. Mark Carr was the poster boy for such behaviour but he's far from the only one. What if the landscaper is one such person?
With no other information to go on but the description of the witness as a landscaper, I don't feel it is unfair to question the credibility. Particularly since the witness did not come forward for seven months; he is definitely not completely without suspicion himself.
But I will say that there may be someone setting her up for all we know...good point about Jon Benet's parents. But, they were never arrested or indicted...zero evidence and have since been completely vindicated.
If there is zero evidence against TH, she won't be arrested.
My gut is that she is involved though. But if they have proof of a conspirancy, that will come out and I'll be the first to say I was wrong.
There are 255 people to date who were wrongly convicted and served considerable prison time who could tell you that being factually innocent is no protection against arrest, let alone conviction. Seventeen of those people spent time on death row.
True, the Ramseys were never convicted in anything but the court of public opinion. And that was devastating for them. Poor Patsy Ramsey died with that cloud of suspicion still directed at her. John Ramsey is no doubt aware of the many people who actually celebrated her death.
We are a social, gregarious species that absolutely needs the comfort of our own kind. Babies will die without that comfort and going without that comfort will for long periods of time will break down the mental and emotional stability of adults.
It is no small thing to be suspected of such a crime as the injuring or death of a small child. Rightfully, the standard of proof should be very, very high.
