Arrests are a matter of public record, correct? So we know that they haven't arrested anyone in this case.
Really??? That's comforting, if so!
In Mariha Smith's case they arrested the POI on a probation violation. Not for her murder, but he's there for 45 days.
What motive do they have to charge him with murder when he's already being incarcerated for another crime?
Why not wait on the murder charges, to build their case and hold off on the clock starting?

I see this case the same way.
What if they HAVE arrested their POI on a minor charge?
We don't know that they haven't, because we don't know who their POI is. If their POI is secure wherever he is, there is no need to charge and arrest him right this second.
That starts the clock... they should take advantage of the extra time.
Not saying anything about this case, but some people really are insane when they commit crimes and probably should be deemed as such...
MY OPINION ONLY
Unlike some here, I have little confidence in the local prosecutors. Not because I think they are incompetent, but because this is going to be a very difficult case to successfully prosecute. Despite what some have said there is little to no reason to delay an arrest if there is sufficient evidence to warrant a charge. The prosecution does not need to have their entire case complete before filing charges, they just need enough to convince a judge that an arrest is warranted.

I was wondering about this...AFAIK, arrests are a public record, you just need to know where to look...and I don't know how quickly those records are publicized. Where would one begin?...if it was someone in the house, I still don't know...wouldn't it depend on who was arresting them? IOW, if the POI had minor, outstanding charges, but they weren't in Stewartstown...how would one look them up? Are they by county? It could be under any municipality I would guess depending on where the crime was committed(?)...Even in Vermont as it is so close...

I enjoy speculating as much as the next person. I like trying to solve puzzles. But in this case there's next to nothing to go on, which I think leads to too much jumping to conclusions or wild speculation that I'm not really comfortable with. I'm not willing to accept that many (even most) elements and tidbits we've heard are facts at this point, which doesn't help. I like to look at what I know for sure and then see where that leads me, not t he other way around, and that's why this case is frustrating for me. There's almost nothing to go on!
I do think local media would have picked up on any arrests of any kind relating to anyone in or around the household, JMO.
Hi Guys! :great:
I`m a newby! Have been following the forums for the last few months but have decided to join! You are very friendly and this particular case is very frustrating!
I am about 5 hours ahead of you so have to catch up when I get to work! :blushing:
Hope I can join!
I took a break for an hour and lost my train of thought. What purpose would it serve to hide the fact that they have arrested a suspect on a charge unrelated to the case?

If he were a flight risk?
How could he be a flight risk if he was arrested and taken into custody?
I'm confused.
