I'm not talking about any quote you made. The implication of your statement is that McDonough's source is incorrect and that because of that false rumors are being spread. With the lack of information being given by the Sheriff to the MSM we really don't have much to go on at all. Because WS doesn't verify locals anymore we can either choose to trust someone who says they have inside sources or not. I just don't get the point of your post saying that it's not necessary to get a Search Warrant to enter a house when another poster of ours who claims to have someone close to the investigation stated that in fact there was a search warrant that day. Not sure the point of contesting that.
Actually if you go back and re-read her post, first she stated the day after Katrina was reported missing police kicked in the garage door to gain access to the house while Todd was at the police station being questioned.
There is no information of this from the LE or from MSM and the only source she had was a post made on FB which has since been deleted. So of course there is no way to verify if the post ever existed, who actually posted it, was it really a neighbor, or was it someone just making crap up, like many of the people posting on there did for awhile at the start until their posts kept getting deleted, and they moved on to the brothers site.
Moving on to the brothers site which she then brought up has been full of so much crap and made up stuff that even the brother who hates TS more than anyone else possibly could even discredited much of the stuff posted there by a few specific posters who proved to have been posting completely false information.
Finally the last statement she made leads people to believe that something TS said during the interview incriminated himself and gave them reason to believe Katrina was possibly still in the home or there was evidence to be found.
It's just like all the frenzy about the search warrant being issued and mentioned in the press release and people automatically assuming that they must have something if they are searching the house.
These things are just standard procedure in missing person/murder cases such as this. They will do an early sweep of the home, they will enter without a warrant based on emergency and exigent circumstances and you can go on record as refusing the search, but they will do it anyhow.
If I seem defensive, then I probably was, but there are plenty of posters here who disagree with me or hold a different stance and I have no issue with their posts or statements or opinion. The only ones I have an issue with are the ones that lead others reading to believe the information is not of that posters own opinion and are from a source in LE or whatever.
Saying a source close to the case told me "blah blah blah" really leads people to believe whatever is said after that MUST be true as it came from someone directly in the heat of all this information. I just think it sets a false pretense for the validity of the information being stated. Similar to saying a neighbor of the home posted on FB but then it was deleted does. Where is the proof it was really a neighbor?
Sorry I am fine with the speculation, I am fine with people believing what they want to believe, having their opinions on who is guilty. I could be wrong about Todd, but they are not just some media story to me. That whole family has been close to me for decades. When this is all said and done many of the people here won't be affected by it at all, they never knew Katrina, they don't know the Smiths, nothing changes for them. How this all plays out changes everything for the family and friends.
