I know you have to be careful about what you post, but it appears there is a "she" on his cell phone plan, and this one apparently wasn't grandma.

Sounds like they subpoenaed cell phone records and triangulated calls.

Wouldn't your imaginary girlfriend realize that the imaginary million dollars wouldn't go to Steve ? I'm sure any money if anyone gets anything would go to the child in a trust...or am I imagining that?

If the imaginary girlfriend was convinced that steve was going to get the payoff it isn't really her imagination now, is it? People are easily manipulated into believing anything a Narcissist tells them. It what allows Narcissist to get away with their behavior. Apparently some Narcissists are so adept they can influence total strangers from a distance.

Bc it's critical to the case.

I would think it has to do with it not having been released by either the police or the prosecution,

Can't the defense release whatever it wants whenever it wants? It certainly squashed the speculation that Steve waited hours before dialing 911.

That's a really good question, I don't know what the defense can and can not release, maybe they have to wait until it's brought into evidence.

The defense can pretty much do or say whatever it wants. I remember when Mark Geragos proclaimed he could prove Scott Peterson was "stone cold innocent." Still waiting for that one...

I also have to wonder, how can they tell, where the "sound" that was recorded came from, if it was only audio?

I wonder about this also, and what about a time stamp,

 

[MyBelle]

I'm thinking the same. Sure Melinda might have slept in a little that morning, but NO breakfast for baby girl? Or she fed baby, cleaned up every trace of having fed her. and then went back to bed?
I guess it might have happened. I can't picture it though.

I have no doubt--based on the police report about EL found quietly in her crib--that she had been fed & her diaper changed.

I have to believe there would have been only one gun discharging in that neighborhood that morning.

No clue but my thoughts are if it was loud enough to have been captured on a nearby neighbor's audio security system around or after 6 a.m., someone close by would have heard it as well. If they were awake. It was a Friday morning - a work day for many. Just my opinion, of course.

If an audio of the gunshot exists, can LE discern the difference between that sound and a car backfiring? I still feel that if the sound was loud enough to be recognized as a gun firing, people would have heard it.

iirc, there was snow on the ground and it was cold so someone outside may have been in a car with the heat blasting. I applaud the investigators for checking for audio security. I thought security systems were video only. My son just informed me the new system he's installing has both audio as well as low-light video.

Ok. And then she put the child back in her crib, and went to bed?

I think the child was attended to by someone else.

I know nuthin about how loud a gunshot would be. I'll leave that one to the detectives.

If so, I don't think Melinda blissfully slept through that attending and was shot at 6:15ish.

Me neither.

I think it possible it was a simultaneous occurrence and two people were involved.

Don't forget about the dogs tho. I can't believe some tart would be known to them. Only one was in the garage according to SHSF, but then again, that may be why.
