So, here's more on what I saw with my own eyes today: When I was on the east side of the M. River, I parked at the park area, which is quite a lengthy area with trails and play areas and shelters/picnic areas. I could see the flashing police light on the other side, but I realize I was too far north when the news helicopter came and just hovered in one spot on the east side of the M. River. So, I went down the bluffs to the edge of the water and walked south. Trees and shrubs and branches are all barren now. I went as far as I could, like 1/4 mile, but I have a health issue, so didn't think it wise to go alone any further, plus I was all alone down at the river's edge and felt vulnerable.
So, when I was climbing back up the bluffs, that's when what I believe was the Sheriff's Office helicopter came zooming in, really fast: That helicopter went right over the child's body's recovery site at river's edge. I would have had to walk another 1/2 mile or so, and just didn't feel safe doing that.
So, anyhow, these 2 women, smokers, come up to me, and they told me that they lived a few blocks away and ran right over when they saw the news of the discovery of the child's body on FB_ _ k. They were very talkative. They said that what they saw was the bluffs across the river marked off from the top of the bluffs all the way down to the edge of the M. River. These ladies THOUGHT Barway was found in the brush near the river, not IN the river, so they were mistaken - - they told me that they saw a lot of officers, but the brush was too dense to see the actually recovery site in the bluffs/cliffs, but, they said it was 'close' to the M. River's edge. (At the time, I thought that was wierd, because I thought the murderer would throw the weighted-down corpse right into the M. River if he/she/they had the body that close to river's edge...) These 2 ladies also told me that they had heard on TV just then that the police have been following Pierre Collins all this time and that, on his own, Pierre Collins SEVERAL TIMES CAME ALL alone down to the west side of the M. River and would look down the bluffs/cliffs --- that's not true, is it????
When I was leaving, more people in cars were arriving to go gawk, and you could tell they were trying to be speedy to get to view the site. I had a hat and kept to myself on purpose, because I could tell the arriving people were kinda frenzied and would want to chat, and I was at my limit...
An aside - off topic: When I got back to my car, I had left the front passenger window down !! With my purse laying there !! Crazy -- what was I thinking !! No one took a thing.
Also, will comment that as I drove along the route that Barway's murderer or murderers likely drove the child, there are lots of lower class/lower middle class apartments, many areas of quite dense populations but mostly the '3 story' type older apartment buildings. I thought, 'How very selfish', to take the life of this one precious angel child....
Oh, also I mentioned to the 2 cigarette smoker ladies about my hunch that Pierre Collins, if he was the murderer, may have felt his 'new' wife loved Barway and so he was jealous & needed to be 'No. 1', and the one lady, the older, very 'streetsmart' one, said she thought that was probably the case.
As I was driving home, I lean to kinda thinking if it was Pierre Collins who did this, he probably was in a rage about a whole lot of things, and the entire purpose of the horrific, nightmarish murder of this innocent and precious little boy was to MAKE SOME EASY MONEY. imo...
