Good morning everyone.
I was on here yesterday during the bond hearing, and I just wanted to say thank you for everyone who kept us up to date with the latest available info from twitter, etc. And all the great links that were posted to help keep us up with what was taking place in the court room.
And thank you to Poppy for going and taking such great notes and some awesome pictures.
There was a lot of good info that was reported on here that wasn't reported in the local media. You guys are truly awesome.
I wanted to post yesterday but didn't have the time. I really didn't have the time to spend two hours on here during the bond hearing either, but I *made* time.
I am so glad that the judge denied their bond.
Bittersweet.
But another step in the right direction, none the less.
Now we just need to find Heather.
I saw some speculation a couple of pages back, wondering if SM worked during the day or during nights. Just wanted to clarify from my personal experience. During the times when he had contracts with my particular employer, he was only able to preform maintenance work after we were closed. Most nights this was 10pm, except for weekends, 11pm. He would Often show up about 30 minutes after we locked the front doors.
As far as any other contracts that he may have had, I cannot be sure what time they would allow him to preform maintenance. But with our company, it was never during hours, or before opening hours. Always after closing hours (for the type of maintenance that he did for us).
And FWIW, he was always alone. I don't see how any company that he had a contract with would let TM into the building unless she was also licensed and insured, just as SM was.
Too many hazards and lawsuits waiting to happen for someone who is just 'hanging out'. Especially for someone who seems to be lawsuit happy.
And on a different note, I am glad that we got to see LEs timeline. Based upon what they provided the judge (and thanks to those who captured pictures of it), I also believe she may have been picked up and/or subdued at PTL, and it must have been quick. IMO, based on the evidence, one can infer that SM was driving, and TM may have been hiding in the back. Once heather was in the truck, TM popped out from her hiding spot and a struggle took place. I am not sure what happened during this struggle, but I believe part of the struggle was for Heathers phone, which they then threw into the waterway. I believe this could have been what police were looking for, or trying to figure out where to look for it, during their forensic reenactment.
Guess we won't know until the trial, though.
I also (as someone said many pages back) hope that this is a wake up call for the Ms. I believe they thought they were smarter than everyone else, and wouldn't be caught. When they were arrested, I believe they thought they would be able to post bond and ride this out in the comfort of their own home (as comfortable as that place could have been??). Now that bond was denied, hopefully it was a smack in the face. A wake up call. I believe there is no way the state has showed its full hand as of yet, and they were still denied bond. Hopefully this will scare one of them into cooperating with LE.
But IMO, unless one of the Ms lead us to Heather, its all moot.
For the most part, I believe we have everything we need to convict them.
Now we just need Heather.
**Justice may not be swift, but it will prevail. Heather, we are coming for you my darling. We will not rest until you can also rest peacefully. We will not give up. We will and are doing everything in our power to bring you home. We will not stop until we accomplish this. We will find you. You are our daughter. "The communities daughter." **
