HLN just said LE not looking for smoking gun........what does that mean?

I think it means we should start forcing our minds to go where we don't want them to go.

I think it means the are being broader in the search for evidence. They dont just want one large piece. IMO

 

[wenwe4]

could it be the board that goes behind bathroom tiles to keep water out? I forgot what that is called in the construction industry

back board? waterproof underlay? just guessing

Smoking gun = murder weapon? If so, perhaps they already have it.

 

[Lera213]

Ok wait, they are not looking for a body for days now but rather other evidence. Either they found the body, or evidence that the body was destroyed.

 

[gibby207]

Or they already have the body and they haven't told us

Is she still listed as "missing?" Or has she been declared "deceased?"

 

[Soulmagent]

back board? waterproof underlay? just guessing

It is called green board and that is not it. that is white paneling. Is there a basement in the house?

I thought it meant they were not looking for either Zahra's body or a "murder weapon". jmo

That's what I was thinking too.

I think they are looking for anything and everything that could possibly help. That's why I love this team so much. They may not even have a particular item they are going for but they won't stop until they make sure they didn't miss anything either. Very dedicated people.

gypsum board ? (forgive spelling please)

 

[Eileen730]

To me it means they dont expect to find her body...at all

I thought the "smoking gun" was the murder weapon!

 

[Soulmagent]

gypsum board ? (forgive spelling please)

That is a fancy word for drywall ,green board is a water proof drywall so kinda. But the picture is not of drywall.

I just thought smokng gun meant undeniable evidence. Concrete proof. The one thing that makes the case undisputable.

If i remember from one of the pics didnt the roof of the house have a plastic tarp over one corner? Maybe the roof was leaking? JMO

My first thoughts were either sub-flooring or closet shelves. But I honestly haven't the first clue. Whatever those boards are, they certainly do look either wet or water damaged, though.

 

[Eileen730]

Def of smoking gun!

The term "smoking gun" was originally, and is still primarily, a reference to an object or fact that serves as conclusive evidence of a crime or similar act.

from wikipedia

Sooo sorry for the O/T but I had a question. I tried to figure this out on my own but it did not work.

How can I narrow down google searches to determine if Zahra'a name was searchable BEFORE this incident. I am still getting current searches.

What I want to know is...BEFORE this...if I had googled Zahra Baker, what would I have seen? I recall a couple of pictures on MSM from camp (I believe, with the helmet) and from receiving her hearing aids in May. I'm trying to compile in my head how traceable Zahra was before this....TIA

Quoting myself..

^this went MSM on 9/22/08

^ this went MSM on 5/10/2010

So that tells me Zahra wasn't hiding or being hidden by anyone, FWIW..just saying

there has been previous talk of a crawl space or dirt basement on previous threads. also on either sh's pictures or punkn and hubby's pics, there appears to be an access to a cellar or similar type area under the house. the access from the exterior is near the air conditioner in the back of the house iirc.

Wood chipper?
