It actually begins with a J. If you want to PM me I will tell you which forum it is.
And although I don't like the tone of the posts and responses, they seem to have information I've never seen in the media. For example, according to the inmates that Bruce confessed to, he said he raped and strangled her in her own bed, then wrapped her up in a sheet and threw her out of a moving car somewhere along the road LE had been searching.
The forum posts pointed out that (and sorry if this offends - not intended to) if Bruce had raped Emily in any fashion there would be a lot of blood in her bed and no blood was ever found, either in her room or in Bruce's car. There were no sheets missing from the apartment and nothing missing from her room. The DNA from Emily was taken from a hair and compaired to her mother and father's DNA. The evidence was presented that there was a 1 in 26,000 chance that the DNA found on Bruce was from the "progeny" of her biological mother and father.
That is fairly good odds that it was Emily but the way it was presented in court apparently confused the jury into thinking that it may have been someone else's closely related to either Jane the mother or the father. The prosecution didn't make a strong enough case to convince the jury the DNA was Emily's but they had stong enough circumstantial evidence that Bruce removed emily from the apartment.
And accroding to the posters, the girlfriend of Bruce is somehow closely related to Emily's family. Blood relation actually but no one knows her name or relation to Emily. It was never released on the media, or in any of the reports I read. I don't think she was ever even broght up in court, but the posters made compelling arguements that she is real.
I think that everyone on this forum is concerned for the victims and families of these terrible crimes, but it does seem that certain cases are actively pursued more than others. If there is a chance that Bruce didn't do this or didn't do it alone, I feel compelled to try and figure out who did. Yes the evidence, as meagre as it is, points to Bruce, but the boy friend was there that night and is supposed to be the last person who say Emily alive. Statistically crimes of this nature are committed by people the victim knew. How many times have we found out that the person responsible for the crimes was a boyfriend/step father/ husband/ cousin/father?
I just wanted to know if anyone else has access to court records, LE reports etc that may tell us if anyone else was ever looked at? Was the boyfriend ever given a polygraph? Was the mother? Was Bruce? Did LE only investigate the inmates statement or did they search for her on other tips? Did they get any other tips?
I wanted so much for it to have been Bruce that when the verdict came back I was shocked and then I thought maybe the evidence wasn't as strong as the media made me believe. It took the jury four days to come up with a verdict. It seems to me that the jury struggled with the evidence and maybe even their own consciences to come up with something. I don't think they were stupid, I think they had to do their job and find beyond a reasonable doubt and they just couldn't. Maybe the evidence that he took her was stronger than we ever knew. That's why I want to know what was said in the courtroom.
