Ya you are there. 2nd one down on the general tab.
Altho i agree its good thinking with the cell phone possibility of how Sarah was found and known to be at Hoffmans..but a couple things don't add up for me..
Yes, correct in that they could track her phone by GPS{without her even attempting a call}if she had the correcttype of phone..but then why did it take 4 days? that is something that could be tracked immediately and the location immediately pop up on the service providers network..
and then LE being so damn certain of Sarah being in that home just doesn't add up to just gps or pinging from cell..first off just the phone could have been there at the residence or she couldve been already dead with the phone..
why were they so very certain they would find Sarah in that home? not outside the home, not just taken by the man in that home and possibly held or buried elsewhere? no insted they were certain Sarah was going to be in Hoffman's home...why?
ETQ~ I originally thought it was because they had gotten the blood testing back and it was all 3 except for SM's blood found in the home..but at the pc after SM found Barber says they had not yet gotten those blood testing results back...??
I think it was either audio surveillance (from MH's license plate when he was questioned at the college) on MH's home, by the FBI.
Or, his mother made a visit and overheard/observed something but didn't let on to MH.
Or, the video from Walmart (they found that receipt).
Or (this is an original idea) they found his fingerprints on the note that Valerie left on Tina's door. Maybe he went out the door and the note fell, and he picked it up and placed it back in the door.
That's exactly what the defense attorney is doing. When his case goes to the GJ, the GJ can also consider other charges as well for indictment.
When he is indicted on the other charges, there will be another formal hearing in Common Pleas Court where he makes a plea to the additional charges.
How it goes from there depends on how he pleads to the charges.
If a decision is made to go on trial for those charges, the defense attorney would most likely waive the right to a speedy trail and try to have the trial as later as they possibly can.
What this means that if the right to speedy trial is waived, it may not be until late 2011 or early 2012 at the earliest before he stands trial.
It's kinda cool to try to sleuth like LE, but we don't have the info nor the toys.
Facebook reporting Tina hermans house caught fire last night.
OMG! Did someone set the fire?

I don't trust the media for obvious reasons. In my 1 1/2 years at WS, following half a dozen cases from beginning to end, it has become obvious that they rush to get their items into print to beat the competition, they mis-hear things, they quote unsubstantiated rumours, and they tend to sensationalize as much as their editors will allow in order to sell their product. Over and over again, we have found dozens of errors in reporting that were later proven to be false.
I also don't trust reports by neighbours, friends, and other persons interviewed by the media, some of whom exaggerate, lie, and make mistakes. Then, this can all be misquoted, or quoted out of context, by the media.
So, what's left? That leaves only what I hear LE say with my own ears. Otherwise, we really have nothing.
Today, I listened again to Sheriff Barber's first two pressers. He struck me as an honest, sincere man, calm under the circumstances. I didn't catch a single false note in what he said, unless he hesitated. With regards to the condition of the house and what LE expected after Sarah was rescued, I took him at his word and wrote down verbatim what he said.
FROM 11/13/2010 PRESSER
BARBER:MALE REPORTER: "It's not like an axe murder or anything like that, right?"
- " ... unusual amount of blood in that house."
- "It isn't from someone stubbing their toe or cutting their finger peeling an apple, or something like that."
BARBER:FEMALE REPORTER: "You have not said publicly and you're not saying now that these four people are dead."
- "No, it's not. No."
- "It wasn't a situation where it looked like there was a wild party."
BARBER: "Not at this time. No."
FROM 11/15/2010 PRESSER
BARBER:
- "We still want to remain optimistic that Tina, Stephanie, and Kody are alive, maybe being held against their will at some location."
This was after they had time to thoroughly investigate the house and after Hoffman had been arrested. Sheriff Barber sounded completely sincere to me. So, I can't believe that statement about the house having to be "gutted" or that it looked as bad as some reports claimed. I'm just more inclined to believe this soft-spoken sheriff than what I've read online.
But, that's JMHO.
I dont know I am searching for a link. Someone said WBNS 10 TV has confirmed it but I have not seen it yet.
Not Herculaneum by any sense. All he would have needed would have been a block and tackle or just a rope to hoist himself up and the same for Tina, Kody and Stephanie. They use a weighted beanbag tied to a lighter weight rope, which is in turn tied to the large climbing rope to throw the end of the rope over a branch. Tree trimmers have all kinds of gadgets to make it easier than you might think.watched the you tube about the tree.....I still think it looked like any other tree in those woods......it reinforces MO that MH had been up in that tree previously....probably dreaming up what he could put in that tree.....it would take a heruculean effort to do it....I assume he had either a ladder or those crampon things that you wear when your're climbing a tree....
I still wonder how the cops found that particular tree....
