Boston Police Commissioner Talks Bella

Thursday, Evans shared his thoughts on a case that is on everyone's minds - the murder of Bella Bond, formerly known as "Baby Doe," allegedly by her mother's boyfriend.

"It's a sad case," said Evans. "I'm glad that we were able to work with the state police and come up with a name."

Michael McCarthy is charged with Bella's murder. The child's mother, Rachelle Bond, is charged as an accessory after the fact. Both were arrested after Bella was identified Friday following a call to Boston Police.

"We got a call in to our 911 operator, who did an outstanding job - she kept the caller on the line for about eight minutes or so," said Evans. "At that point, she was able to turn them over to one of our homicide detectives, who got the information. Then, we relayed it to the state police, and then we worked hand in hand on Maxwell Street."

Someone asked about how MM ended up in the hospital. Perhaps he was admitted during the visit where RB told MS about Bella?

"The break in the case finally came last week, when a friend of McCarthy’s and Bond’s went with the couple to Boston Medical Center for treatment, Deakin said. When Bond told the friend, Michael Sprinsky, that she was happy to get clean, he mentioned she would be glad to get Bella back.

Sprinksky had been told that Bella was in the custody of the state’s Department of Children and Families. That’s when Rachelle Bond started to cry.

“I’ll never see my daughter again,” she told Sprinsky, according to prosecutors. Bond then told the friend that McCarthy had killed Bella by punching the girl in the stomach and that she had helped dispose of the body.

Sprinsky took action. He confronted McCarthy, who insisted that Bella was in state custody. Soon after that, he spoke with authorities and helped them unravel Baby Doe’s identity at last. He told his sister, Laura Sprinsky, about what he knew and she called Boston police."

People on here are saying maybe she wasn't in the fridge? Where would she be?
 
Late this summer, driven by drugs and haunted by spirits nobody else could see, McCarthy began telling people that his live-in girlfriend’s toddler daughter was filled with demons. But by that time, 2-year-old Bella Bond was already dead, her body stuffed in the apartment refrigerator, and later tossed into the harbor.


In a group session this summer, according to a patient who gave his name as J.P., McCarthy said his little dog could sense that Bella was a demon, and barked at her. Another group therapy patient said McCarthy spoke of experiencing a vision in which the girl came to him sleepwalking, and he got up to put her back to bed, only to imagine her again.

A little O/T, but I was curious how much it costs to buy heroin on the street. I can't imagine being able to sustain this kind of lifestyle.

•An individual with a “hard-core” heroin habit may pay $150 – $200 per day in order to support his or her habit.

try to keep it to a minimum.

Cadaverine is a compound formed during the breakdown in the human dead body of lysine, an amino acid. The technical terminology is that cadaverine is the decarboxylation product of that amino acid, lysine.

It is naturally produced in the decomposition of animal tissue.

It has an extremely pungent odour, strong and distinct. It is the major contributor to the smell of rotting meat.

To say ERVD dogs can mistake cadaverine for blood is wrong. Cadaverine is cadaverine and will only be cadaverine. An ERVD dog does not mark blood. When an ERVD dog marks a location it means that cadaverine is present there.

Sorry but explaining the chemical composition of cadaverine doesn't change the fact that the dogs will alert to blood and even scrapes of tissue because both of those emit cadaverine. And yes, the blood is from LIVING HUMANS.

Cadaver dogs are trained using items such as pulled teeth and tampons. Both will contain dead human tissue.

Two cadaver dogs, including one used in the search for Dylan Redwine, get new sources of human scent to train on as quickly as handler Roy Vreeland finds them.

Vreeland gets extracted teeth coated with dried blood from dentist Mason Miner, who has set aside teeth for Vreeland for a couple months.

Cayanne, also a tracker, has trained since puppyhood to recognize human scent on bones, blood and tissue but never teeth.

Cadaver dogs are highly responsive to any trace of human scent, Vreeland said. As incredible as it may seem, cadaver dogs are used in England where archaeological research is done, he said.

Vreeland keeps samples of blood, bone and tissue in a freezer in jars labeled with identifying information. There is breast-surgery tissue, placenta, vials of blood and hair from a beauty salon.

Another source states trainers often use their OWN BLOOD:

In the United States, dog handlers can legally obtain bodily components like human placenta and blood, but not always easily, and trainers like Cablk often resort to using their own blood.

Try clearing your "history" first on your computer or tablet. Then you should be able to read the article.
 
OK I will post in chunks:

Even on the cracked blacktop of “Methadone Mile,” a rough stretch of blocks in the South End where recovering addicts congregate to be dosed each morning, Michael McCarthy stood out as wretched and strange, said dozens who knew him.


With a faraway look in his hooded eyes and a little Pomeranian named Bailey cradled in his arms — to detect his seizures, he told people — McCarthy moved slowly and spoke of conspiracies, the occult, and a demon with horns and a long lizard tail.

The little girl’s body was found in June, washed up on Deer Island, her identity a mystery.


Around the world, millions grieved for Baby Doe, a computer-crafted picture of a toddler whose name they did not know. But in the apartment where McCarthy allegedly punched her to death, the memory of a very real little girl named Bella was haunting McCarthy.


Prosecutors say that in May, McCarthy’s wild theories about Bella’s possession drove him to brutally kill the girl, pummeling her stomach, leaving her gray-faced and breathless on her bed. He allegedly stood over the girl’s body and declared that “it was her time to die.”

The part before this is the first post where he imagined her sleepwalking.

Thanks so much. Very appreciated!
 
At his arraignment on Monday, at which McCarthy pleaded not guilty, investigators described him as obsessed with the occult. After he killed her, prosecutors said, McCarthy and the girl’s mother, Rachelle Bond — who McCarthy’s lawyer suggested falsely pinned the crime on his client — stuffed her body in a trash bag, put it in a refrigerator, and later dumped her in the harbor.


Anonymous for months after washing up on the Deer Island shore, Bella was finally identified by investigators after a longtime friend of McCarthy came forward.

Hunched over and ruddy-faced, often clutching the tiny, matted dog, McCarthy, 35, was prone to bizarre outbursts, those who came into contact with him in recent years said. Adrift following the death of his mother in 2013, McCarthy wore the same clothes every day, rarely washed his long, greasy blonde hair, and smelled foul.


His slide into strangeness and violence was so obvious that when they heard what he’d allegedly done, former acquaintances were horrified and disgusted — but not necessarily surprised.

MM and RB seem hardcore to me. Let's say they aren't and only have a $75 a day habit. Where in the heck are they getting the money?

She only charged $20 for her sex services. People steal, of course, but can you see MM breaking and entering?
 
“He couldn’t have gotten any lower,” said Jennifer Lightbody, 32, who was close to McCarthy’s former girlfriend. She recalled an argument on a medical transport van in which he challenged her Catholic faith with homespun demonology, pockets full of crystals, and a belief that he could communicate with the dead.


“He never shut up about demons,” said Robert McMahon Jr., 28, who lived with McCarthy and the former girlfriend on the third floor of a Quincy apartment house from August 2014 until early this year. There, he spun bizarre tales, McMahon said, including one about Bailey, the dog: Once, he said, the dog was hit by a car, only to be revived by a sorcerer who summoned ominous black beads out of Bailey.
