#1. This investigation (in Michigan) is being done by the Michigan State Police because the area where this abduction occurred is in unincorporated Colon Township this is actually great for the victim. This is good because the MSP is very professionial and very thorough and they are not small town Barney Fife LE. They have their own superb forensics facilities and they have solved many, many tough cases. I'm confident they are doing all they can to find any evidence at this point. The problem is...they aren't coming up with much of anything yet unless something breaks soon. It will have been 2 weeks tomorrow. Aside from involving the FBI, it's in the right people's hands though.
#2. Ok, I get the fact that many of you are previous victims of spousal abuse because several of you point it out in your posts. I hate that you had to go through that. I'm guessing that your experiences have given you some good instincts that go off when you "hear" that certain aspects are involved in a case and I'm sure that more often than not, serves you well. But this is all based on one side of the story from the victim's family and not on any real evidence at this point. So call me skeptical.
If anyone other than DS is found to be responsible for this, are you going to feel horrible that you never fully considered the inconsistencies and questions that are being raised?
#3. My philosophy is this. If 95% of the people here are ready to hang the guy based solely on what was told to LE by the victim's family and what they heard on NG, what harm can it do to look for things that may point to him "NOT" being the one who did it? It's in no way an endorsement for DS. But shouldn't someone be looking the opposite direction? Whoever did it obviously needs to be held accountable. There are major hiccups with this case as it stands. That cannot be disputed.
#4. I asked about DS filing for divorce twice...and I really really wanted to put on the very end of that post..."and yes, I'm expecting a few of you to come back with (The Divorce IS the Control) or (He's a serial divorce abuser, jerk) and out of respect for those who have been abused, I refrained. But sure enough, it came right out that the crazy psycho must have filed for all these divorces to keep her from leaving...money being no object he kept his control over her, free to do what he...do you see what I am saying? That's not logical thinking.
There are several people in this post that get it, who can step back from this and look at it objectively, and not be offended by people posing questions that don't line up with their own opinions of the case. Put aside anything that may have happened in their own life and look at the facts and what makes sense and what doesn't. I applaud those posters.
DS could turn out to be a cold blooded wife killer. He may be every bit the monster VS made him out to be. But at this point, VS family are the only ones releasing all the info to the media and the LE. The cops have admittedly not much to work with. The cops did say they investigated VS allegations made in February and did not have sufficient evidence to find DS commited a crime at all. Yes she is the one missing. Yes it very heartbreaking and tragic if someone took her. It would be even more tragic if someone on here could have helped figure out this mystery but was too biased to offer substantive info.
These children, when they are older, I'm sure would say that they would have wanted EVERY question asked, EVERY witness questioned, and EVERY scenario worked through to find out how, why, and who did this to their Mommy. And if DS didn't do this, oh man, those grandparents are going to have a hard time getting any family court to allow them to see those grandbabies after this.
Hopefully she is in a motel hiding out somewhere. Otherwise, this is going to be tragic no matter how it ends.
I THINK, THEREFORE I AM
