Hey guys, haven't been on in a while I guess since the Kelsey Smith case...(work, new baby and all has kept me busy).
For some reason when I first heard about this I thought of the loss to everyone that Eve could have helped and that just frustrated me the most
![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
. So i'm here to talk and maybe share my opinions:
1) Someone stole my thunder about thinking about the car. Why would they take her car and how did they get to her place?? Those are questions that need to be answered and i'm sure the police are looking at other surv camera's around the area to see if they can see something else, like a car following them, or someone picking them up where the car was found.
Was this a car jacking or did they see her on her way to the car?? The LE say's no forced entry could be seen, but if the perp's saw the friends leave they could have thought the place was empty and knocked to make sure and she could have answered the door thinking it was her friends....who knows really...i'm just tossing out ideas!!
2) If you wanted to rob someone late at night there is no better place then a college campus. NO WAY these guys go to school at UNC and they would have no clue who she was before hand.
Also, if you were going to attack someone who is a weaker or an easier target, a
women with out-of-state tags would be the first. She would have no family close and who knows how long she would have been in school and might not know a whole lot of people which would make her an easier target. Once again, just ideas because I don't want to give these perp's too much credit in the "smart" catagory, just ideas to help discussion.
Good point. That means they knew her beforehand and were willing to take the heat of the death of a high-profile student or they happened by as someone got into an SUV with OOS plate.
3) I give you guys a lot of credit for seeing the other person in the back seat. I guess it worries me that people like us can see it and LE blew it off or didn't even notice at first. There is only ONE reason for a person to be sitting in the back and that's to keep Eve under control. I don't think he is a gang leader and some newbie gang guy is driving him around. I'm sure the larger guy would sit in back for better control.
It was a WS group effort to identify a second passenger. We agree re; the control issue explaining the goon in the back seat.
4) I'm sure someone knows who this perp is and it's a sad world when certain people wont come forward because they could be a rat. What a sick culture that has developed for some in this country.
Also, one last note.....here is something I was told by a local detective who works these type of investigations.
Follow the reward money!! If in the next few days or weeks it increases to $50,000 or more, the LE doesn't have any quality leads. They will hope the increase brings in better ones or the one they can arrest on. IF they don't raise it especially in a high profile case like this it usually means they have someone in mind and it wont be long until an arrest is made. As with any investigation all the good info is kept locked up, but he said this is a good judge for the public to see if they have anything creditable.
He says with this guys picture out there it shouldn't be too long before an old teacher, or old PO see's this and points him out.
