Thanks for the post Bob I think something similar is likely.
No problem. The location, the terrain, and the seemingly short timeframe is what really caught my attention on this case. It seemed to be either incredibly random or a skillful predator with a plan. I can't make sense of it being anything in between.
I could clearly hear the crunching of footsteps.
I can too. Multiple people. That is why I feel they are off the bridge and he is already leading them when that clip was recorded. I think they chose that to release because it is easy to discern the words said and it seems to be one voice only. I hate thinking about it, but I would imagine there was not a lot they could get that didn't have the voices of the girls.
I just listened to the whole video, couple of things I heard around 25 minute mark and later.
1. They stated it might be a chance encounter, but implied they thought that less likely.
2. They also seemed to imply there was more than one person by stating the voice may not be the same person in the picture.
3. They did state they believed this person in the photo at least participated in the murder of the two heros.
So it sounds like there was more than one person. Also they possibly set them up to be there, maybe pretending to be a different person on SM.
The lower likelihood of it being a chance encounter indicates they have evidence that there was pre-planning.
I feel like they may have said that the voice may not be the same as the guy in the picture. I think this may be to encourage someone who feels they recognize the voice, but not the picture or vice versa, to come forward with the tip and not try to decide for themselves- "That sounds like _____, but the picture doesn't look like him."
The possibility of another perp is very unsettling, but if there is another guy, I think it will make it easier to solve. There would be a lot of stress between two offenders over the video and audio evidence. I am really curious if they have something on that tape that leads them to believe there is an additional perp or if they just aren't ruling it out.
Hey Bob I didn't realise it was LE who had said those were the words. My own fault for only managing to look at a few posts at a time.
'Down the hill' it is. [emoji106]
No problem. I hear what sounds like a "g" sound, but I can't be sure what it is, so I'm trying to focus on the things that we've been given as fact. It is hard to do.
Thank you, I thought I was losing my mind.
The audio up now seems to have had the background noise removed. By the, way, that is an excellent quote by Emerson.
As a father of young girls, this case has me really shaken. Watching the press conference, I just got the feeling that LE is having a very difficult time with this one emotionally and I think a lot of it is because of what's on that tape.
