The convenience store was definitely debunked. You can rule that out.
The "48 hour" tape is no longer available. You might find it on ebay. I know someone who has a DVD of that and perhaps I could round up a copy for you. Also, a national syndicated columnist has it as well because I sent it to her. I've asked for it back but never got it. And then I being the non-techie overwrote the remaining "48 Hour" tape. So I don't have it either.
I've seen this discussion about the various parties over the years and maybe I'm just being dense but I don't see what is at issue here. If they left the Hanover address at 1:50 AM and drove back 57 blocks west to Battlefield, the leaving there would have been right about 2:20 AM regardless of whether they left from either address in Battlefield; being virtually next door. I believe they were
last reported leaving from the Kirby residence. What am I missing here?
Hi. MM. Hope you are well and enjoying the holidays. You were responding, above, to someone asking about the
48 Hours video, so I thought I would see what's on the links thread.
For those who want to look at this earlier msms account, check the "links" thread above. Both the
48 Hours and
Disappeared are linked on that thread. If the links don't work, look on Youtube. (I will check it--should have done so while I was there but got interested in reading what all we had posted back then.)
The links thread has lots of basic information, including links to msm sources and references to basic facts from early threads. These are valuable resources for those new to WS or the 3MW case--and to refresh all of our memories. Finally, I would say, regarding questions about Janelle, that we can't
necessarily hold her accountable for "inconsistencies" based on what isreported in the media. Reporters can make mistakes, misquote, or create emphasis by how a story is told, what details are left out. etc.
For example, there is a recent (December 7) missing persons case in Pittsburgh, for which timelines have been posted based on what friends told LE that the friends say are NOT accurate representations of what THEY told LE. No one has bad intentions here, as everyone want to find this
missing young adult. It's just that everyone (police, reporters, family, friends and witnesses) hears
and understands and tells a story differently. In the
Disappeared episode, there is that moment when the narrator says that Cox has an alibi because he was at church with his girlfriend. Then the episode chugs along chronologically, more or less. Anyone who stopped watching would
think Cox STILL has an alibi. It's not until later that the narrator says Cox's alibi fell apart. So what
someone who watched this show "knows" about Cox would depend on how much of the show he or she saw. That's the drawback of narrative storytelling, and why the loss of investigate magazine and newspaper reporters is such a huge loss.
This is not to say that I don't have questions about Janelle, her mother, Mike and what they have said or what they know. It's just that I think anyone interested in a case reported widely in the
media has to factor in the the "media" is literally
between us and police, witnesses, victims, etc.
