I am new here and have been following for a couple weeks now. Sitting back reading and taking it all in...thinking outside of the box on what may seem obvious. A few of my thoughts.
Thanks for your interesting thoughts. Let me reflect on them.
1- I feel the marijuana is a moot point. If FG is a fireman/volunteer or a security guard , no doubt he is drug tested and no way he is toking down. It seems he has a very strong presence with the fire department. Photos and attending the new chiefs swearing in. Also, marijuana sales have changed in Mi...no longer do people meet up in cars and have a sell.. with it basically being legal it's pretty darn easy to have a card and buy it yourself or know someone that has a card and picked you up a bit. DS may have had her card...that's info that one cannot obtain due to Mi laws.
I completely agree. There is no indication that I know of that FG has ever been involved in any drugs. Despite the key-chain, I don't believe that DS has been seriously involved in any drugs either.
2. It seems all are assuming it is FG that is the #1 POI. I am not sure. The house in Berkley that is under scrutiny is a house with many stories of who lives there . A rental , flop house etc...something to me seems off with the house.
I think from various news sources it is reasonable to assume that FG is the #1 person investigated by LE. News reports talk about a security guard with a very ill wife living at a certain house on Oxford st.
We know that FG has a very ill wife and lives/has lived at Oxford St. But of course, even if he is the #1 POI, he might be innocent. There is nothing that I have seem so far that suggests he might be capable of abduction or worse. But we have only very superficial knowledge of this person.
3. I do not feel that DS had relations with FG. Nothing racist...she had a type. Read her IG and it's always mountain man, outdoors finding peace, searching for that nirvana of sorts through creative expression. FG does not fall into that category... he's just not her type..and before one calls out racist thinking it has nothing to do with the color of skin...it has to do with what I can see is his life in general.
On the wedding site it says that FG and his wife enjoy working out and outdoors activities such as camping and hiking. I also don't think that they had a romantic relationship, but I cannot exclude it. There may have been some type of friendship.
4. There is a feeling within me that questions the friend whom she was going to visit that night. I am not stating she is involved...just something does not add up. Perhaps LE has asked for some details of what the friend knows be kept quiet due to the investigation. Something does not add up.
I agree that it does not seem to add up, but we don't know all the details. Danielle leaving early seems to suggest that there was a specific time that she was expected to be at her friends' house. But the friend not raising alarm until 4pm the next day seem to suggest otherwise.
5. I do think she drove to her apartment. Even parking is like a signature...under stress or someone else driving one could tell if the parking was off. Perhaps that's just me noticing the most trivial details in life. DS seems like a very intelligent woman...for whatever reason if someone was in the car with her I have a feeling she would have done something "off" in the parking lot to throw up a red flag.
I changed my mind about this and I am also leaning toward her driving her car home. If we assume that FG is the perpetrator, then it would have been logistically difficult for him to return the car (how would he get back to his house?). If the perpetrator lives close to Danielle (which I expected before), he (or she) may have driven the car to the apartment. (I cited earlier a similar case where a person was abducted form their apartment, and the car was later returned to the apartment by the perpetrator. In that case, the perpetrator lived close to the apartment.)
6. From what I have researched I cannot find ANY information or anything that points FG as to being a security guard at ML. Yes, fireman so have sidejobs however it is usually jobs like contracting. A firefighters schedule is not conducive to having another job with set hours.
I did not find any info either, but because of the reasons given above, I still believe that he is the security guard.
7. feel her ex boyfriend or boyfriend has nothing to do with this. Un characteristic from what I have researched and his family seems deeply concerned as does he. If he is remaining quiet perhaps it is only because he would be the first person LE would look at.
8. The phone and key chain are odd to me. There is something connecting them to this case and LE knows this...something that has not been presented to the public.
9- asking to get the word out nationally makes me wonder if LE feels that she is out of state. It's an odd request to not have search parties here ( as in Chelsea Brucks case) yet ask people to share nationally.
10. Something happened the day they searched the home in Berkley...there were too many calls for prayers..and there had not been before. They did find something...
11. FG seems to be off the grid, which is normal for many that are PD or FD employees. I do know a person that has ties with him and his wife. No red flags and the couple seemed extremely close and loving. Basically a close couple.
FG shut down his Facebook after the media attention. But I wouldn't read it as an admission of guilt. People would be taking stuff from his facebook page and would read all kinds of nefarious meanings in it.
Thank you for allowing me to vent/express. I do feel the LE knows way more then they are putting out there. There is something off with friends timeline of reporting DS not showing, the keys and cell throw up a red flag for me, the prayer call, the post national yet no search parties local. I do pray and hope they bring her back to her family. It's heartbreaking.
