Etch-a-sketch Guy - some toughts.
Re the sketch that doesn't look like Kibby...to be technically accurate, it was described by
LE as a "person of interest" that LE were interested in talking to regarding the alleged kidnapping--it was never described per se to be the alleged kidnapper. Though it certainly could have been described that way by AH (privately, to LE). At that time I remember wondering if it were possibly even some innocent party who may have given AH a ride if she were hitch-hiking. But
LE have since stated "at this time" they aren't looking for anyone else...so who knows?
It's going to be a long month's wait to get some straight answers in this case. Just going to kick back and wait, now.

I absolutely agree Poirot - these are what count as the actual
"facts of the case"; info given by LE and reported in MSM. LE NEVER Said the sketch was of the kidnapper - only that they wanted to talk to him as the person "who driove her away". IMO, (not fact) Driving does not make him the kidnapper automatically. What if he were a hostage as well and just never reported it.? So when asked at the presser, Jane Young simply answered that
"At this time" there were no other suspects but she left that door open saying that if that changed in the future then we will pursue it. (paraphrased)
first time poster here....hi all.... has anyone else wondered if the young woman who was seen coming and going by the neighbour was actually abby? its a possibility, i think, though pretty unlikely.
NO. Nat Kibby is charged with Class B felony kidnapping - not with being some roguish lover of teenagers. Those of us who have followed this case from day 1, who have researched, the area, the circumstances, the victim, and now have researched the accused, have always felt that Abby did not run away and did not go willing. There is no evidence of that. This man is a violent predator and historically hateful and fearful of women.
"Abby Hernandez told police that a man drove her away on Oct. 9, between 2:20 and 3 p.m., law enforcement officials said in a statement that accompanied the sketch. He was driving a navy blue pick-up, and Abby Hernandez described him as having 'darkish skin,' dark brown eyes, black stubble and a large build."

There is no indication that this information was false and the assumption that this sketch is supposed to be the kidnapper is NOT
a fact in the case. (see above)
By the way, while the description that Hernandez provided is demonstrably false (e.g., she described the subject, presumably Kibby, as having "dark brown eyes"; Kibby has blue eyes), that does not necessarily mean that Hernandez intended to provided a false description.
Presumably Kibby is a fabrication - not supported by
the facts in the case. ie;
not stated as such by LE and ergo, not "demonstrably false." As they wanted to talk to him as a person of interest who "drove her" from Conway and have since not mentioned the sketch leads me to only one conclusion
based on the facts; they now don't want to talk to him.
Speculation based on the facts is IMO, more helpful than wild fiction we keep seeing in comments and boards. For instance; "Maybe they already talked to him and he will be a major witness and won't mention him until the discovery phase, hmmm" vs. "She lied and gave false information, the sketch doesn't look like him, so therefore she must have gone willingly.ugh"
I suppose the counter argument to "not wanting to be found" would be "who in their right mind would want to be kept in a storage container". If you merely wanted to disappear, you could sit in the trailer watching tv all day and not answering the door.
Suppose the counter argument to "not wanting to be found" would be "Not wanting to be found DEAD" ?
With LE holding evidence so close to the vest, there are very many "other" possibilities regarding the sketch that don't include speculation that the sketch was the kidnapper instead of
what LE actually said.
I, for one, prefer to remain victim friendly and this wild speculation is nothing short of victim bashing
In My Opinion.
