It would seem that if LE had released the information that MH was seen getting into a cab, there would have been a lot more scrutinizing of the activities of the 20 cab drivers who were on duty that night. If people would have known that information, they may have had heightened awareness of related activities.
I don't think LE or anyone else ever said in 2009 for certain that Morgan was seen entering a cab the night she disappeared. Not once since she went missing has it ever been said definitively that she WAS SEEN entering a cab. All of that came about after JM was linked to her murder.
We already have seen how Longo works. If that was remotely true at the time he would have come out and let the public know that along with photos of typical cabs in the area at that time and so would the Va-State police.
Imo, what Carter is doing is searching for his 15 minutes of fame. If LE suspected a cab driver at the time the last person they would tell would be a cab driver (who would have been seen as a potential suspect at the time himself.)
Imo, the investigation into the cab service during the time Morgan went missing
is happening now. They are going back to where JM worked to see if he was on duty. They NOW know he was driving a cab when Morgan was abducted. At the time she disappeared they did not know that, imo.
The police have no reason to lie and they have refuted they interviewed JM back then and I believe them. They were trying very hard to solve Morgan's case and would have let it be known they knew for certain that she was seen by an eye witness entering a cab that night. No one has ever said in all these years that she was seen when abducted or even seen entering a vehicle. Imo, there is no eye witness to her entering a cab and at that time LE had no idea who had taken Morgan, imo.
And they said there are about 75 cab drivers in this area.
Of course now that LE knows for certain who took her.........then yes, they are interviewing anyone who may have seen JM that night while on duty.
I believe what Carter has said is either being taken out of context and he never said it was in 2009 that JM was interviewed or he is putting two and two together now that he knows JM was on duty that night and is now tied to Morgan's murder.
What I firmly do not believe is anyone saw her getting into a vehicle much less a cab.
