I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that some defining piece of incriminating evidence is found. These two have very little incentive to cooperate now. IMO.
This is such a good point. LE needed to leverage the threat of more prison time to find Molly + Colt. I dont believe LE leveraged these other charges good enough to help find them. In fact, it appears LE did not leverage the other cases at all. Its so frustrating. Its all LE had to help find them.
Now, there is no hope unless the PI can work more wonders. Its so frustrating.
Here is just 1 example of how LE could have leveraged the cases.
There comes a point in time where you would rather just find the person and know what happened rather than to go the rest of your life without ever knowing what happened. None of us wanted to see Colt or his GF or his Mom get any kind of good deal, but apparantly they already got good deals and there appears to have been no leverage used to help find the 2 missing people.
So before those other cases were resolved, what if LE could have gone to Colt and said. Look, we just need you to tell us what happened, what you did with them, and we will let all 3 cases get resolved to where they are at now already, and we wont press murder charges on you but give you 10 years for manslaughter, with chance of parole after 5.
Some may think even that is way too good of a deal but if there is no hope of ever finding out what happened and no hope of murder charges ever getting filed at all, would we rather have this kind of deal and actually find out what happened to them.
I suppose its a gamble that LE is taking to someday find enough proof to file murder charges and find out what happened.
The problem now is since these other cases are being resolved without leveraging them at all, there is little incentive to get any cooperation from the person that knows what happened.
I hope the PI can help some more. This case is so tragic. I am truly afraid we will never find out what happened to them.
