I personally don't think that Jason Young has a current (or during the Marriage to Michelle) girlfriend anywhere. I think that gossip is an insideous (sp?) thing and hides behind many stories and things that cannot be verified.
I personally, being of somewhat sound mind, don't think that the husband is guilty of murdering the wife in this case. I know this won't make me popular, but I have to say what I feel in my bones.
I, too, have lain awake at night trying to figure out what happened to Michelle. I have thought about everything that I can possibly think about, and Jason is never a part of this situation . I don't know why. I normally suspect the husband straight off, especially in a situation such as this. Something in my bones, as a former abused wife, tells me that he didn't do this or contract to do this. How can I, as a woman, possibly take HIS side? I don't know, but I would think, that if he isn't guilty, that Michelle would be so glad that I did. I have laid there in the bed for hours and I can't see Jason doing this to his wife. To beat her to death to the point of blood being everywhere and to let his daughter crawl around in it for hours. To have it on her little feet and hands and possibly elsewhere on her body. I just can't see this, and I have and do continue to know a lot of MEAN people in this life that I live. Most people, IMO, are not worth the time of day. Sad to say, but it is the truth as I have found to be true for myself. This fact does not serve to make me happy. It serves to make me question most of the people that I come into contact with. If any person, having the wisdom that God gave them, does not agree w/me, then I must say that they are an eternal optimist. Even so, I, even as a skeptic, do not believe that any father would do this to his little daughter. I predict that a totally different scenario will present itself. I know for a fact that at least 99% of my fellow posters can only hope that I am right. And I know it. Little Cassidy deserves so much more. As a lover of many children who need help in my extended family, you may know this about me or not. I still don't care. I think that Michelle was killed by a neighborhood intruder that probably took the weapon with him when he left. What was "missing" from the funeral? Perhaps the viewing of the deceased? Considering the nature of her injuries, does it seem possible that there was a viewing? As a longtime former embalmer w/SCI, I don't think they would have opened her coffin for anything. People go crazy when they do in a situation like this. There would have been swelling that would not have "gone down". Not even with an electric spatuala (if you need to ask, then don't). I would even question, privately, if her skull (head) was present. Many times, such an exhibit is saved (or at least a plastercast of it) for the trial so that the jury may see and handle it firsthand. I don't mean to offend. I mean to spill my guts, as far as I could know. Sorrow is a universal thing. If we could be provided w/the elixer of forgetfulness so that we could not suffer the pain of another's death, but w/ the condition that we would never remember the deceased, I would bet that NONE of us would accept such an elixer. Michelle Young, IMO, will await her family and loved ones on the other side when the time is come.
This is much like an unexpected trip to New Orleans, for some reason. To the deepest and darkest regions of my mind. One year before Katrina, I had seen all of the people "living" underneath the overpass by the SuperDome and it had frightened me enough to want to leave that town. It seemed that each of them had a basket from a market and was ready for something, which I could not even begin to understand. An elderly black gentleman in a car told us, at Canal Street, that we had gone "too far" and that we needed to turn around immeadiately and go back towards the Garden District. May God Bless him. And he only knows who he is. The whole time we were last there, the feeling of death ruled that city.
The same with the death of Michelle Young, so bright and promising. I don't think, and I will wait for proof, that her husband did this to her. I think a relatively closeby person did this to her. People often kill what they cannot have for their own.
I think that LE is being tight-lipped because they suspect someone who is the direct opposite of the husband. Someone who has felt and lived in the soil of the area for quite some time. I have asked my "muse" (the subconscious to some) for the answer. And this is the one that I have continually gotten back after hours of thought.
That crawlspace will always upset me as a point of entry. If I am wrong, so what? I've been wrong before. I said that I thought that Natalee Holloway was cremated after her death. No right or wrong, because NO ONE knows and I find this most convenient. She is no runaway, IMO. How DOES one make a body disappear?
As for Michelle, I think Jason loved and respected her. Don't ask me why. I'm allowed my thoughts and opinions as much as anyone else here. There is something which we will soon discover that leads away from him, IMHO.
