I have a theory on the CPH to SG's mom call. This has happen to all of us at some point, either we were the one "calling" or the one "answering". I will use an exapmle. A worker here at the job called me about a problem at work. I asked him, "is this the problem with the "blue light" that is out?" He said, "I don't know?". So after we discussed the issue for a while we hung up. 5 minutes later I get an e-mail from my boss asking why this guy is going on about the "blue Light" being out regarding his issue. His problem was not the "blue light", it was something else. But just because I mentioned "blue light" in our conversation, he ASSUMED it was the blue light. He swore up and down that is what I told him and stands by it to this day, if he were asked about it. I have accidentally injected things into a situation and thought I was dead right until I was proved wrong. It is human nature.
Extremely valid point. My impression of CPH is that he reminds me of this extremely annoying person in my neighborhood who always has to inject himself uninvited into every event that takes place within the neighborhood. I think every neighborhood has at least one of these weird people who thinks of themselves as the unofficial mayor/guardian/referee in the community.
-When someone's house was robbed... my neighbor went out of his way to show up and speak to the police.
-When someone starts-up a chainsaw in the neighborhood... my neighbor is there uninvited supervising to make sure nobody gets hurt and that no trees are cut down without the proper permits.
-Whenever there is a car accident, my neighbor is there setting up road flares and directing traffic around the detour.
-The moment someone's dog gets loose, my neighbor goes out of his way to catch it and turn it in to the dog pound.
-When someone's kid gets suspended from school, my neighbor goes out of his way to call that family (even when he never met them before) to ask if they want his help speaking with the school principal to "fix" their problem.
-If someone from outside of the neighborhood drives slowly or is walking around, he goes out and confronts them.
-If anyone steps foot on my property or on the other properties on my street that he does not recognize, he's dialing 911 before that person could get to the front door.
My neighbor has been like this ever since he retired and has too much time on his hands.
CPH reminds me of this type of person. If he is Oak Beach's annoying self-proclaimed "protector" then it would not be out of character for him (given the opportunity if he was handed MG's phone number as he describes in his letters to 48 Hours) to call up MG as an unofficial representative of Oak Beach. Then at the next association meeting he had bragging rights to announce to all of his neighbors that he "fixed" their problem with the "outsiders" and their missing child.
Now that I put this thought in my head, I wonder if someone can get their hands on the minutes of the May 2010 Oak Beach Civic Association meeting?
As far as what he said in that first phone call to MG, it is very possible that CPH is not a suspect in this case because he came forward to the police and admitted to them that he lied to MG about the drug rehab home simply to make her leave their neighborhood alone (not knowing that he was digging a grave for himself that he did not deserve because he had no clue that she was in any real danger or that she would go missing as she did). If that is the case, then that would explain all of his strange mannerism and guilty & unusual behavior that followed the months after the original GB4 bodies were found. He really put his foot in his mouth this time by sticking his nose into the wrong mess if that is the case.
This makes the most sense to me since even those who live in the neighborhood cannot link CPH with JB (according to everyone there, not many people who live there ever met JB). We can speculate all we want about JB buying drugs from CPH or CPH treating SG for an overdose. However, the simple fact remains that nobody has any proof that CPH and JB ever met each other ever. As a matter of fact, there isn't a single person who lives at that end of the community who will come forward and say that they ever heard of the name JB prior to this investigation.
