Also, at one point he followed Julia on twitter, but he no longer does so.

Interesting....distancing perhaps?

I am very sorry to have broken protocol by posting that new tidbit without being able to post a link! I will have to ask a few questions (for clarity) before responding to this question, as I would rather respond accurately than with speculation. Can't help but wonder if LE flat out dropped the ball from being pushed in one direction rather than looking at all avenues.

 

[DazednConfuzed09]

LE does know about JT's bipolar issue. As a child, he was subjected to abuse. I have no knowledge of his possible previous troubles with the law or any previous arrests.

With all due respect Trojan1966 I have to ask. How do you know JT was "supposedly" subjected to abuse as a child or diagnosed Bipolar?

St. Clair Shores man faces child *advertiser censored* charges

Holly Fournier, The Detroit News 7:51 p.m. EDT April 6, 2015

A St. Clair Shores man has been charged with multiple felonies for possession of child *advertiser censored*, Attorney General Bill Schuette announced Monday.

Anthony Modrzejewski, 39, faces 22 felony counts for allegedly possessing and distributing child *advertiser censored* as well as videotaping an unclothed person, Schuette said in a news release. He was arraigned Thursday in 40th District Court in St. Clair Shores.

Modrzejewski was charged with...

In what context was this information given? <modsnip> Do you know if the diagnosis was Bipolar I Disorder or Bipolar II Disorder? While there is definitely a small probability of homicidal tendencies with Bipolar, there are many more suicidal tendencies of these particular patients. <modsnip>

I don't think it matters whether anyone was bipolar, or bipolar 1 or 2. A bipolar person is capable of committing a homicide/murder, just as a "normal" person might. We all probably have the ability, given the right circumstance. Accidental or deliberate would be more the question here. If an accident, why hide it, or attempt to stage the scene? ("If" that is what happened here). Which indicates to me that it was likely some nefarious activity. Perhaps the death was not the original intent, but something caused him/her to do it.

Anyone who does not cooperate with LE or give the type of interview necessary for legalities is suspect to me, whether it is the culprit or by having knowledge that could help solve this.

There has been a milestone advancement in the Chelsea Bruck case with a piece of her clothing having been found. A citizen called in with a tip. Between the Bruck case, the Turnquist child *advertiser censored* arrest, the other child *advertiser censored* case in Monroe, Julia's murder.....it will be interesting to see if these cases are linked in any way, other than we already know the Niswender and Bruck girls are friends.

See my post #763 for some info on biopolar and violence. While suicidal tendencies would be more likely, I was surprised to learn about the possibility of violence.

All I know is what his wife told me. What type, I don't know and never asked. I do know she told me that when he was "off" his meds, he had a definite personality change. That's all I know about this. I don't think this would be the reson for not cooperating with the police, no matter how many questions they may have. Justice for Julia has been said since the beginning, so why not be 100% cooperative with LE. I really don't know why this is not happening. If you are innocent, why not fully cooperate?

 

[Spellbound]

Absolutely agree, Trojan. I am so sorry you have to endure all of our questions.

How many statements must a person make? Why was a person cleared by the Michigan State Police if not fully cooperating? Why would a person voluntarily turn over a computer if not cooperating fully with LE? What am I missing?

He has never given a formal statement to Ypsilanti Police, therefore one cannot say he has fully cooperated IMO.


The Free Press also reports that Turnquist has been cooperative with the media about the case, but police say he is a person of interest because a &#8220;formal statement as to his whereabouts in the days prior to Julia&#8217;s death&#8221; has not been provided.

Gress said that while Turnquist has been named a person of interest, he has not been ruled a suspect. "There are definitely no suspects, he's just a person of interest that we need to talk to one-on-one," Gress said. "He has yet to give us his accounts of where he was. All these people saying he's a suspect, I wouldn't bring it to that level yet because we haven't obtained a formal statement and now he has counsel that doesn't want to bring him in and tell us about his whereabouts. The family has provided us information, and he's given us some type of account. We don't know if it's credible."

Turnquist was recently arrested on child *advertiser censored* charges, and remains in jail. You might say that&#8217;s not related to the case, but it was enough for Ypsilanti Police to speak up today and admit that he is their person of interest.

In fact, they say, detectives and family members think Turnquist knows more than he is letting on. And he has refused to cooperate or tell police his whereabouts near the time of the murder.

ETA: from video WXYZ spoke to Turnquist this past fall, Turnquist states "we don't talk to em... we don't like the way that the.. we don't like the way they're handling it"... so how can anyone state he is cooperating fully with LE, when he himself states he isn't.

Journalism is always 100% factual? http://news.yahoo.com/end-day-wrap-...-233000469.html;_ylt=A0LEV7xMryRVfHcAloQnnIlQ

Is there a document (press release perhaps) released and signed by these detectives that is available for us to read? Is there an on air-interview with LE providing these statements of not fulling cooperating with LE? Did I miss them? Please post them if I did, as I would be interested in reading/viewing them.

I edited my post to add what Turnquist himself says in the video from the link. I will post it again here in case you missed it.

How many times does a person have to provide a statement or answer the same questions when the answers haven't changed? Especially if you have been cleared by the Michigan State Police?

:thinking: I would say at least once formally, well unless one doesn't mind being named a person of interest for not providing a formal statement to law enforcement.

Who besides his attorney has stated he has been cleared by the Michigan State Police???

On Wednesday Lt. Deric Gress with the Ypilanti Police Department released a statement saying:

&#8220;The investigators, as well as some family members of Julia, have concerns that Mr. Turnquist has knowledge pertaining to her death.

This is due to the fact that he has not provided detectives with a formal statement as to his whereabouts the days prior to Julia&#8217;s death, thus making him a person of interest. We continue to follow leads, intelligence gathered, and analysis of the evidence obtained to date.&#8221;
