To those who think the truck ran over her I have a few questions:
1) How long do you think it would take for the driver to run over her, clear her from under his truck, pick up the bike and put it in the back, sweep up every speck of debris, and then wash all the blood away with a mop and a bucket he just happened to have in his truck?
2) Let's be generous and say this would take three minutes. How did the people gassing up not see any of this?
3) How could the employee in the store not see any of this?
4). How could the various cars that passed along University, a pretty busy arterial street, not have seen anything when this happened about ten yards from University.
5) why is there no video of any of this from the same camera that captured Mickey on her bike?
6) what purpose would the police have in lying to the public by not telling us about this footage they have of the truck running over her?
7) why would the police waste thousands of man hours in a search for her?
8). Why would they go further along her possible route and ask businesses and homes for video of that night if they knew all along it was run over?
9) How could the driver have cleaned up so thoroughly that not one tiny drop of blood was found or one small piece of her bicycle when this exact area has been searched by many fairly soon after she went missing?
Thanks for looking at these questions. I hope you can come up with logical answers for them.
for the sake of argument, i will answer your "opinions" with mine...
biker stopped for a second in the street in the first brightly lit area to do something on phone/ipod etc... (vid capture 1)
truck approaches slowly to make a wide left into circle k (possibly coming from a bar wanting to grab more beer before 2am... minutes away) there is a vehicle approaching path of truck in vid capture 1 per lighting on back of utility box on corner... suggesting a reason to make a wide turn into circle k...
driver does not see stopped bike because he is going to turn left and his attention is directed to turning left with only a few minutes left to buy beer.
driver hits something, stops, backs up to see what he hit (vid capture 2) (think of hitting a bike while pulling out of your driveway... it is unlikely it would break into a thousand pieces of "evidence" but is likely it would sustain some damage.
driver sees he just ran over a person, helps the alive, injured rider into the cab, throws the intact bike in the back with no bad intent "yet". takes 30 seconds
rider quickly loses signs of life or starts coughing up bl**d and driver realizes "he" is fu**ed and panics, drives far out of town, dumps everything, then checks his truck for damage "now evidence" and sees a chunk of plastic from his front bumper broken/missing. NOW worried about "possible evidence at the scene" driver returns home, gets in another vehicle and goes back to do a drive-by. he finds the broken piece of plastic in the street "vid capture 3, debris on the road under rear of other? truck" and grabs it...
that is "a" sequence that fits the captures... now to continue with assumptions...
LE treats this case like every other MP case and then gets a security video depicting a biker being run over and put in a truck...
though LE is "pretty sure", based on what they know, this video is of the MP in question, they cannot use this presumption and poor video quality to make a 100% positive ID so this information is withheld from the public/parents and is sent to the fbi...
fbi gets involved because of video and gives LE the information and the three stills of the vid they may "make public"
it is my understanding that once the fbi is involved "they" call the shots and tell LE what they may release or not release... to anyone.
to answer the question of why would LE wast all that time searching... i don't understand that question... they have always appeared to me to be searching for a body, and they do not know the fate of the rider passed the video...
about people not seeing... rider appears on right side of truck, circle k is on left side of truck, not that i need even that much because people are all wrapped up in what "they" are doing like the guy texting/reading his cellphone, pumping gas...
if the "people would have heard/seen something" theory had any merit there would never be a car broken into/stolen from a driveway right in front of your house and neighbors... because "people would have heard something"
to answer "why is there no video"... we only know what WE have been given and it is absurd to think we have or are entitled to the same evidence "they" have...
my opinion
no inside info
peace
