It has been ruled that Lloyd Welch's statements to investigators can be used in court, because Lloyd breached an immunity agreement by being "untruthful" and by telling conflicting stories.
Of course he has been "untruthful". He probably wouldn't be able to tell the truth if he stepped in it. And investigators knew that from the beginning. As early as 1 April 1975 they wrote him off as a liar and sent him away when he spoke with them.
So now, BECAUSE HE IS A KNOWN LIAR. . ., "
Given the recent information released in the court documents, it is evident that there is much, much more that has never been released. Some of that information may well feed into determining LLW's lies from his truths, and make the "proof is in the pudding" cliche appropriate.
One example would be his statement about the girl being kept in a locked room in the basement of the Hyattsville home. RAW family pointed to the fact that their basement (if it was the same house using in 1975) had no locked room. That could be explained by remodeling or not the same house. I was struck at the time of the televised footage of the search of LLW1 home on Baltimore Avenue, that there did appear to be a small room, absent a door at the time, which
could have fit the description. Now if connecting blood evidence is also found at that location, another link in the "chain of truth"
may lead to another, and another, etc. until the "could's and may's" make verifiable facts. I believe, "The devil is in the details" of the "tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."
Generally, we think that children learn that lesson in the first decade of life, but some people never quite get the message. And. . . the longer the lie lives, the more tangled the web details hiding the devil.
In at least one recent case, a young woman left home by weaving a tangled web which was not uncovered until after her death. Check the story of Lori Erica Ruff/Kimberly McLean. Sometimes it is possible to find truth by dissecting lies. Let's hope this will be one of those times.
