GUILTY IN - Aleah Beckerle, 19, Disabled, Evansville, 16 July 2016 #2 **arrest**

[Ironside]

I hate to say it, but the responsibility for this lands at Cara Beckerle's feet. Her decision to bring a drug dealer and a felon into her house, and the people connected to him, killed Aleah. She created the environment where this could happen, and failed to protect her child.

To be fair she has said she knows she made bad choices in the past and really I can't see how she could have predicted this would happen to Aleah. TR wasn't even on anyone's radar in this case up until a few days ago.

All this time they've cried about people's rumors and they were spreading one of the biggest rumors. An apology from one of the group admins for it:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1568070126822082/permalink/1661468607482233/

For those just joining the discussion on Aleah, a little recap on this: Basically Aleah's mother continuously stated she believed her ex-boyfriend was responsible and that she believed he took her to Henderson, KY. Many of the early searches took place in Henderson because of this. The man was questioned by police and local media stated he was cleared but police never came out and said that (In fact, they stated that no one was cleared on several occasions). The rumor going around town is that he had an airtight alibi of being on camera at the casino. The man was arrested for an unrelated drug charge and has been in jail since August.

I think the thing that bothers me most about this case is that there are no facts. I'm sure LE knows a crap ton that they can't share yet, but I'm talking about the story leading up to when she was taken. It's changed and then changed again, all the while her mother denies she's changed her story. We don't have a concrete statement on anything.

Yeah, that has bothered me since the beginning. The only 100% true thing we know is that Aleah was missing and now she's deceased. Everything else is a blur of half truths, mostly truths, possibly truths, blatant lies, and misdirection. We don't really know anything else. We don't know when she disappeared, when she was last seen by anyone not in the family, how she was taken from the home (since most of us don't buy the bedroom window explanation), etc. There are way too many unanswered questions and things that don't add up which is why I'm not convinced yet that we've got the perp.

So why did mom have such a strong feeling of her being found in the other city?

Could've entirely been to throw people off.

A 20K funeral? :facepalm:

Unfortunately, 20k really isn't unreasonable. My son's funeral was 10k and we cremated and only had one viewing. Add a cemetery plot, another visitation, hearse, grave digging... I could easily see it going to 15k or above, even if they went cheap.

Funerals are too expensive. I think people are willing to pay the price because they are caught off guard, at a time when they are grieving and perhaps not thinking clearly. Emotions are taken advantage of and with that you have an industry that can charge exorbitant fees for each and every service and few people will bat an eye.

Still, it is a great thing that people are donating to the funeral for this sweet young woman who was helpless as a child when evil struck.

When my brother died unexpectedly and had no insurance my parents had to take a 2nd mortgage out on their house to help pay for everything.

Gonna sit and watch this one. Typically you see a huge outrage on social media when a perp is arrested. Comments posted on their FB or twitter accounts, etc. Not seeing it. In fact, seeing lots that are questioning this. :thinking:

I don't know what happened, but the story as of right now is not adding up to what we've seen in photos, videos, etc. The layout of the home, if someone entered through a window, and took Aleah, placed her wherever outside that window, and then climbed out theirself, then how did they not move the blinds, or stuff at the window? And how did no one hear them?? I don't know how that dog is normally, as dogs are individuals, but even if the dog knew the person, wouldn't it have gone where the person was? Wanting attention? Or even bark or whine in excitement? I don't know.
:fence:
Until more is released, I'm gonna just keep quiet.

I am with you on this one! I will, however, happily eat my hat if its found CB had nothing to do with this!

 

[Ironside]

I think it's conceivable CB had nothing to do with this. TR must have been familiar with the house and the families routine. He had a motive which was revenge for his Dad. As for how he got her out the window I think people are imagining he carefully lifted her out which seems difficult. Nope. This is someone that admitted defiling her corpse so I can see him just throwing her out the window like a bag of potatoes without a care in the world.

Unless EPD charges her with something CB has my sincere sympathy.

So...apparently this whole time I've been wrong about what side of the house Aleah's bedroom was on. I thought it was on the right side (when you're outside facing the front of the house) but it's actually on the left side. I found this photo of their house (verified it was accurate through Google Maps images) and this shows the windows AND how close that side of the house is to the neighbors. IMO, there is no way that he got her out this way. Those neighbors would have heard (I'm 99% sure there are neighbors, the house is owned by a couple who have been there since 1999 according to assessor's website) Aleah hit the ground and cry out, I'm sure of it. Aleah couldn't talk but I'm sure she could cry out and be loud if she was hurt.

If he duct taped Aleahs mouth before dropping her out the window she wouldn't have been able to cry out. I know duct tape was used by TR, do any news reports say exactly when he used it on her? I can't see him waiting until she was in the abandoned house to then duct tape her mouth shut.

Good point, the affidavit isn't really clear on the timeline.

Roach stated that he then picked up Aleah, explaining how he exactly carried her and the advised he put her back out the same window, before picking her back up and placing her into his truck.

Roach admitted to intentionally taking Aleah and then driving her to the vacant house at 1628 S. Bedford, where he intentionally confined her inside.

During this time period, after using duct tape on the victim, Roack reported that Aleah died while in the residence.

You could read it in a lot of different ways. During this time period could mean at any point from when he took her or it could mean once she was in the house on Bedford (to keep his family living right next door from hearing).

I think more people were involved in her kidnapping/murder.

I agree.

If she was abducted to be raped and murdered... it doesn't happen often. There have only been a handful of kids with serious disabilities that this happened to. Most were not killed by strangers (stranger cases are almost unheard of). However it's still unusual even with someone known to her.

I wonder how much the autopsy will be able to confirm if anything?

I doubt Roach intended on murdering Aleah. I think he abducted her with the intentions of sexually abusing her while she was alive, killing her would have defeated that purpose unless this is a case of Necrophilia.

Roach likely didn't know the amount of care Aleah needed and without her medication it was only a matter of time before she passed. How long that amount of time was might never be know unless Roach gave details on how long Aleah was in that house before he noticed she was deceased. Which apparently didn't even stop him from continuing to abuse her. Just how long that went on, I don't want to know.

I agree. Plus the fact that she's so into drugs...if you'd focus a little less on your next high and a little more on your girls who need their mother, we could've had a different ending. She's guilty of neglect at the very least, but too much of this just doesn't add up. The fact she didn't notice the blinds or anything around Aleah's window was disturbed, the door magically locking itself...fishy. Plus she EVENTUALLY stated a back/bath room window was left open...well the perp took her out the damn bedroom window. So what's that got to do with the other window being open? They would've said if it was Aleah's bedroom window open, because that's suspicious as hell.
Also, I "heard" and I only say that because I don't know how true it is...that when LE came and was looking in her home, all other Windows were locked.
I dunno.

JMO, but is it possible CB was using on the night of Aleah's disappearance? Could explain discrepancies in her accounts, and why she didn't hear anything that night. Not something any mother would want to admit to in these circumstances, understandably.

 

[4SAM]

The picture of her bedroom showing animals and stuff in front of window, was that the night she went missing? Hate to go back and look. If so , there is NO WAY she went through that window .Someone would have had to rearrangement all the stuff.
