The pseudonym “Emily” is used to protect the identity of the child involved in this case.
Meredith complied with Defendant's requests and entered the Youngs' home through the garage door, which was broken, and then through the unlocked kitchen door to the home's mudroom. -
Ok, we have point of entry for an intruder without force, known or unknown to MY.
A jewelry box in the master bedroom had two drawers removed, and DNA testing showed four markers that did not include Defendant or Michelle's DNA. Meredith testified that Michelle “didn't really have a lot of fancy jewelry” except her wedding and engagement rings, and that she “always wore” her wedding and engagement rings. Michelle's wedding and engagement rings were both missing from her body when she was found and the rings were not recovered. Additional unidentified fingerprints were found in the house. Investigators found no signs of forced entry.
Isn't this proof someone else rifled through MY's jewelry box? Unidentified fingerprints??
Printouts from eBay concerning purses were found on an office printer with three fingerprints; one matched Defendant and two others remain unidentified. Forensic analyst Beth Whitney of the CCBI (“Ms.Whitney”
also said Internet searches for purses were made between 7:05 p.m. and 7:23 p.m. on 2 November 2006. Ms. Whitney testified that MapQuest inquiries for directions between Raleigh and Clintwood, Virginia, were also made that evening, as well as e-mail logins to Defendant's personal email account. Ms. Whitney also found that, at an undetermined time, Internet searches were made on the Youngs' home computer for “anatomy of a knockout,” “head trauma blackout,” “head blow knockout,” and “head trauma.”
Come on Ms Whitney, why is there no time of this search?!
JY's response -
Defendant also made internet searches on his home computer for head trauma and anatomy of a knockout, which he said he made after being the “first responder” to a car accident where a person was knocked out.
Also, the unknown fingerprints again?!
Ms. Schaad picked up dinner on the way to the Youngs' house and invited Defendant to eat. Defendant said he planned to stop at the Cracker Barrel in Greensboro to have dinner, drive three hours to Galax to spend the evening, and then drive two hours the next morning to a 10:30 meeting.
The time is wrong, could be a mistake on her part. If JY did say that time not sure why he would later say he was late for the meeting? Probably means nothing.
Defendant expected his father-in-law to visit, and Defendant had spent the afternoon cleaning the yard in anticipation of his arrival. Defendant's father-in-law called and cancelled his visit that evening.
JY was expecting dad in law to arrive next day, made preparations. Is the state saying JY wanted him to discover the body and rescue the child? So when he cancelled, JY had to come up with another excuse for a person to drop by, being MF?
Ms. Schaad said she felt like the two were being watched and asked Michelle to walk her to her vehicle before she left that evening.
Is Ms Schaad prone to 'heightened feelings of fear to her surroundings' or paranoia? Is this unusual for her?
The camera worked properly from 5:50 a.m. until 6:34 a.m., but at 6:35 a.m., the camera was pointed at the ceiling. Mr. Goad put the camera back in position and focused it on the bottom of the stairs at 6:38 a.m.
From the state's perspective, JY entered through that doorway precisely at 6.35am as camera worked prior till 6.34am.
So JY left the hotel sometime after 12am, drove home, and around 3 am, viciously murdered his wife, cleaned his daughter up, washed and dried her pj's and redressed her? Emily wears diapers, but she had no urine or faeces in her pj's or bed and was wearing no diapers when found, so did Emily use the toilet between 3am and 1pm when she was discovered by MF or was she drugged and slept all that time? Was Emily toilet trained?
Defendant was thirty minutes late to his 10:00 a.m. sales call in Clintwood, Virginia.
Yet Schaad claimed JY said his appointment was at 10.30am, so he wasn't 'late', he had the time wrong. Noted earlier, probably not important.
Ms. Calhoun testified that Defendant came into the store and cursed at her because the pumps were not on, threw $20 at her, pumped $15 of gas and drove off without returning for change. Store records showed several gas and in-store purchases between 5:00 a.m. and 5:40 a.m., including a $15 gas purchase at 5:27 a.m. and a $20 gas purchase at 5:36 a.m.
2 things - why would JY bring attention to himself when he is in the process of committing the perfect murder?
There is no way JY could have arrived at hotel at 6.35 am if the state wants us to believe he moved the camera? The drive takes 1 and 1/2 hours. So if it was JY then he didn't move the camera, someone else did, and JY arrived later at the hotel. Or he did move the camera at that time but it wasn't him who purchased the gas? Has to be one or the other.
Officers began to question Meredith and friends of the Youngs about possible marital problems. After the questioning, Defendant's friends Josh Dalton and Ryan Schaad suggested he not speak to police until he retained counsel. On counsel's advice, Defendant never answered any questions from law enforcement or spoke about Michelle's death with friends or family.
We can assume JY took this advice very seriously. He knew he was the prime suspect and his goose was cooked. JY would have been very troubled.
Later in the evening, Defendant and Linda were alone in the home, watching Emily, and Linda said Defendant told her that his lawyer said he could not talk to anyone and that he was “going to take a hit on the house.”
OK, defendant worried about losing the home, he had a child to care for. This was a 2 income household.
Pat and Defendant's family later packed up the Youngs' home two months after Michelle's death and found a cigar humidor that said “Quick Set” on the exterior. Defendant previously sold Quick Set locks. A credit card purchase was made on a credit card in Michelle's name at a Tampa, Florida store called “Cigars by Antonio .”
Explanation for the cigars.
Defendant introduced testimony of a newspaper deliveryman who drove by the Youngs' home at 5108 Birchleaf Drive around 3:50 a.m., noticed that nothing seemed unusual, and did not see a vehicle.
And then over an hour later - assailant left the scene and then returned later?
A neighbor, Cynthia Beaver (“Ms.Beaver”, testified that she passed by the Youngs' home between 5:20 and 5:30 a.m. and saw that the home's lights and driveway lights were on, and that there was a light-colored “soccer-mom car” with its lights on and placed at the edge of the driveway. Ms. Beaver said a white male was in the driver's seat and another person was in the passenger's seat, who may have been a female. Another neighbor, Fay Hinsley, said she saw an empty S.U.V. at the edge of the driveway between 6 and 6:30 a.m.
It is recorded that JY made several calls on the way to Clintwood, many could have been drop outs. JY has been noted to be on his phone constantly when travelling on the road, so not unusual.
Printouts from eBay concerning purses were found on an office printer with three fingerprints; one matched Defendant and two others remain unidentified. Forensic analyst Beth Whitney of the CCBI (“Ms.Whitney” also said Internet searches for purses were made between 7:05 p.m. and 7:23 p.m. on 2 November 2006.

Another neighbor, Fay Hinsley, said she saw an empty S.U.V. at the edge of the driveway between 6 and 6:30 a.m.
Assailents could have left crime scene and returned later for some reason?
Also, the state says JY made several short calls on the way to Clintwood, many could have been drop outs, state said he was in a panic and yet JY was constantly on phone when travelling on the road, so not unusual.
MOO
