That is true, Isabella, but my point has more to do with the fact that TES is a professional organization who has found many. LP is not an organization and has found nobody. I am confident that if TES called off the search permanently they have compelling reasons that have to do with a professional judgement call based on years of experience. A dollar donated to TES WILL help find somebody else, even if it isn't Caylee. There are many crying out to be laid to rest and unless LP is starting his own search organization a dollar will still go farther with TES.
I think it's because of the Anthony's and the media, the media is painting such an ugly picture of Padilla. I heard one of the news caster's today ask Murt to edit his video, in other words don't show all. Just like the reporting the media did yesterday on the Anthony's. They made it look like they were all hugging on Padilla and just traumatized, they didn't add in when George ripped the sign off of Murts car, Cindy's threats and pushing and shoving. Why not? I sure wish I knew the person who had that video of yesterday "raw", that is what the public needs to see. The real Cindy and George. I do understand they are grieving, but this is not about them, this is about a innocent child Caylee...... Padilla, don't let the Anthony's scare you away like they did to Tim Miller....
I'm not too hopeful, but I can't accept giving up.
Leonard is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't, because if he does, he will continue to be criticized and called a media whor....well you know. If he doesn't people will criticize him saying he had his media time and is going back. More than likely, the people in both scenarios above will be the same.
I don't blame him one bit for trying to get a feel for public opinion, simply because of the above scenarios!!
I think that everyone should keep looking for Caylee but I am not sure she is in the water there. I wish I had some idea where she actually is, maybe the landfill. I do have to say that him being there searching really set the A's off so he may be on to something. Personally I think that if he just pretends like he is searching and makes it look like they are doing something eventually the As are going to freak out and maybe say or do something to point to where she really is. Playing on their and KCs fears pushing them hard could just break this case.
Doesnt seem strange to me. When LP was first brought in to this TP asked everyone opinion this isnt any different. I dont care if people think this is about him getting media.All I care about is Caylee and bringing her home period! LP is willing to search and thats all that matters to me. Bring Caylee home:clap:I base this on my observation that LP doesn't see the need to consult anybody on anything. I mean really, has the guy ever seemed like he needs anybodies permission for anything? In light of that, this vote seems very strange to me.
Hmmm, really interesting theory! LP is definitely savvy enough to pull this off... I like it!I think he does that in many ways, especially with his many theories. It appears to me to be his way of ferreting out the truth. Kind of like Lt. Columbo used to torture his suspects mentally until they cracked. My husband used to say the murderers used to confess just to get away from Columbo's form of torture. I think LP is using Columbo's technique in a slightly different way. He doesn't go to their house with his notebook in hand, he does it by way of television.
Respectfully snipped.
LP has called himself a "media *advertiser censored*", that isn't anything we thought up to be nasty. He says it of himself, and in that case I believe him:crazy:
I do question his motivations in this search, but if it is fruitful, God Bless him.
This is my prediction. He is taking a vote because he cannot afford this search, I think he's over his head and had no earthly idea of the cost and difficulty. I think the "vote" serves two purposes for him. One, it gets his efforts media attention and may get him some funding. Two, if it doesn't get him the funding he needs, he will say the consensus was not to search and pull out. That way he can exit gracefully. I predict that unless some major funding comes through within the next 24 hours, he will be done within a couple of days. No one can dispute the results of a "vote", it isn't as if polling stations are set up with counters and witnesses.
I base this on my observation that LP doesn't see the need to consult anybody on anything. I mean really, has the guy ever seemed like he needs anybodies permission for anything? In light of that, this vote seems very strange to me.
Which reminds me....wonder where Windy's footage is??
SNIPPED: "...Seriously, don't you think LP was saying goodbye to Caylee today because he thinks there is no point in continuing searches?
