jade.....the link in your last post isn't working. I found the article, though. I will try to post it again...

It was interesting. What an odd bunch. I wonder when Lawrence Baker was charged with receiving stolen property? If I'm not mistaken, I think that Jarrod Messer also has a previous arrest for receiving stolen property....I don't know the details of that, though....I'll have to look it up again. A lot of these counties have public court records online, and you can look them up by name or case file (this is how I learned of Messer's arrests).
The account detailing the shooting of Mr. Montgomery was interesting.......I wonder if that girl (China Foor?) was questioned or testified in the Doan trial. I read somewhere else that some of his ex-girlfriends testified that he (Doan) was non-violent.
Did Messer live alone? That barn is practically outside his back door (if that's the house he lived in at the time). It would be tough to dig up someone's back yard without them noticing, I would think. It appears that he has been in & out of jail a few times. Was he incarcerated for something at the time of Carrie's disappearance, leaving his house vacant? If not, then it seems he would have had to have been involved in this.
According to the trial testimony, a neighbor of Doan's says that Mr. Doan asked to borrow car ramps from him the day after Carrie's disappearance...and then allegedly made a comment about not wanting folks to know what he was doing. What do you suppose he would have been concerned about on the underside of the car? (This would have been his brother's car, and the same car they used the night before when they left Tracy's house?....his sister-in-law said that he took it for the day to
clean it...she drove Vincent's car in the meantime). I read somewhere that the police found a couple of long, dark hairs in the trunk, but later decided that they were not Carrie's. I don't know if DNA testing was used, or how they actually reached this conclusion.
I don't know much about salvage yards....Do all salvage yards use car crusher/compacters? Do the Baker's use one of these at their salvage yard? I have heard that Mr. Baker has more than 1 of these "junkyards".....I don't know if that's true, or where they are located. I did hear that from someone local who is acquainted with these people.
I also think it's sort of curious that Mr. Doan took a shower before leaving his brothers house (with the garbage bags, etc.)....I realize that she said he had blood smeared on his chest/arms, but I would think that if I were trying to get rid of a body, I would be in sort of a hurry to get the job done, before anyone noticed it. Or was somebody else working on that, while he went to enlist brother Tracy's help?
