Hi Websleuthers. Total newbie here (longtime lurker). First I want to say that y'all are so dang smart...there have been so, so many posts in this case where I am blown away by the insight and ideas that websleuthers have. The MH case originally drew me to this site...I was completely obsessed. When Hannah was reported missing, I knew where I would would go to find "my sleuthing people".
My heart is just breaking for both the Harrington and Graham families. Words can't describe what they must be going through.
Here's my newbie gut feeling about something related to both MH and HG. When Chief Longo had the conference where he described what to be on the lookout for while searching for Hannah, he appropriately mentioned her clothing, iPhone, and later her shoes. Made sense. But it also got me to thinking...what about that big, easily noticed watch/bracelet on her arm in the closed circuit camera photo from the hallway? I thought why would he neglect to mention something so obvious, he certainly doesn't seem to be a man who overlooks the obvious. I listened to the conference twice and thought...odd. Very odd. No mention of jewelry. But I forgot about it in the ongoing barrage of information, conferences, arrest, etc.
On Sunday, I went back to the FBI site for MH, was clicking around, and clicked on that huge photo of Morgan's missing necklace. I said, how strange, the necklace is missing, it's clearly a link, it's made out of links, crystal links, watches have links...(you know how your mind wanders on these things). Hmmm....and then my mind snapped right back to Hannah. What about her watch/bracelet? Clearly that's a MAJOR personal item, but again - never mentioned by Longo. Shouldn't people be looking for that watch/bracelet? Then I thought...what if this guy had both of these pieces of jewelry? What if that's something that LE found right off of the bat, so they didn't mention it? Sure would be helpful in getting charges brought if they located both of those items, together...JMO. Today's news says there is true DNA matching going on, so the jewelry angle isn't as important...but I sure did think it was odd at the time, especially since serial murderers/rapists like their "trophies" and would be likely to keep such items.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but I thought I'd bring it up just in case!
