3. LE may have already spoke to someone who knows.
I think the POI family is well regarded in the community and either has blinders that there Son/Brother/Nephew could do something like this or is straight up covering for him. They think that he is sorry and would never do something like this again. Perhaps redemption through religion. Something like this coming to light
could decimate the entire family and thus they ignore or hide what happened.
MOO on this, but wonder if anyone else has thought down this line?]
@NameUser: This that you have said is *right.down.the.alley* of what I posted night before last (which post was deleted, so I must have unintentionally written something that was not to have been posted -- though I know not what). I totally concur with you that the POI family & individual himself is
very highly regarded in the community of Delphi (and/or nearby small towns that know him/his family); thus...
no one is considering him. I do believe that he & his family tend to be very religious individuals (and I have nothing against people of faith, by the way); however, this is just MOO, based upon what Supt. Carter stated during the most recent PC (it is MOO that the Supt. gave *many* "hints" regarding who they believe may "fit" the POI description/profile -- but that is just
MOO; nothing more).
Blame it on my highly intuitive nature... (and no, I myself don't have "ESP"; but I have often been accused of "reading minds" even of those I have just met -- with absolutely
no intention of "creeping out" anyone; it's just the way I'm "wired". As a result of this internal "wiring" (as some might describe it), it occurred to me recently -- just the last few days, in fact -- to "imagine" (that's the form my intuiting generally takes) what
kind of an individual might do something like this... Once I began that "imagining" process, many "dots" began to connect to one another (yes, and probably all
wrong!). Nevertheless, it was an interesting mental exercise, making me eager to read/hear of the resolution of this case for all involved.
Mods - please delete or edit if I have written something here that is against the TOS, since I am sometimes not quite sure, and don't want to go against WS or fellow WS-ers. Thanks.
I have already sent in an idea via the e-mail tip line of who I believe "fits" the many parameters required to be reasonably considered to be a POI in this case. I am trying hard to keep "mum"!
It is entirely MOO that the POI is, in fact, in the
immediate vicinity, i. e., between a 5-20-minute drive max from the CS, and that their family residence is also in that range as well (though I truly have never searched for that individual's family address). More than anything, I long to see justice done in this case: justice for A&L, of course, but justice on behalf of
all young people who, in their innocence and naivete have believed that they could walk on a street or a trail in their small towns (
especially in their small towns, for I myself grew up in a small, small town in the Midwest), enjoying the beauty of nature and glorious scenery in their neighborhoods without any such traumatic events.
Oh! Did I mention that I earnestly hope for justice to be served
sooner, and not
later? But I digress!
