MP’s statement inconsistencies from Court records and his 1/2012 interview (not an all inclusive list) and some of MP‘s suspicious actions and inactions:
1) MP said Gail was mentally ill. LE, Gail’s sister, Gail’s friends all said Gail was not mentally ill.
2) MP said he believed for the entire seven months that Gail was missing that she was off somewhere de-stressing. Gail’s family, friends and neighbors said she would not leave her children, especially without a word.
3) MP said Gail told him she was going back to the AL lake house on 4/30; yet, said in his interview that the children said that Gail told them she was going out to make calls to her cousin, Sherry, on 4/30.
4) When MP told AD that Gail went to the AL lake house wherein AD responded that she checked the lake home and Gail was not there, MP was irritated with AD for having checked the lake property.
5) MP said in the Channel 9 interview he came home from the MN insurance conference on 4/30. MP did not even attend the conference but instead was off philandering around with his co-worker and returned home on 4/29.
6) MP said he cooperated with LE from day one. Yet, MP did not report Gail missing until two days after she disappeared, and MP only reported Gail missing after insistence from Gail’s friend, AD, and a request from Gail’s sister, DN.
Further, MP did not allow LE to interview the children, and did not allow school counselors to talk to the children. Nor did MP allow LE to interview him after he hired his criminal defense team (CDT).
Further, MP did not allow searches of the SM home or the AL homes without strict, specific conditions being in place more than a month after Gail’s disappearance.
Further, MP’s CDT removed computers from the homes prior to LE searches.
MP did not take a lie detector test.
7) MP said AD was interfering in Gail’s case and was not Gail’s friend; yet, Gail gave AD important documents and a DVD recording of an altercation between MP and Gail for safe keeping. Gail gave AD specific directions not to give the DVD to anyone else.
Further, MP admittedly had to look-up Gail’s “good” friends in her old year books.
8) MP said in his January 2012 interview, he arrived at the SM home at 12:15 pm on 4/30 and indicated he didn’t see Gail. Yet, the neighbor, SB, said she saw Gail leave the SM home at 12:15 pm on 4/30.
Further, SB stated to the authorities that she saw MP arrive home 10 or so minutes later.
9) MP said in the interview he did not talk to Gail on 4/30; but, then turned around and said, in the same interview, that he talked to her one time wherein Gail asked where he was.
Further, MP said he was shopping with his mother at North (second word not clear to me, guess will have to listen to the interview a third time) Mall and would be home in about 20 minutes. I looked up Chattanooga Malls; there is a Northgate Mall, don’t know if that is the one he was referring to but that is 30 minutes from the SM home and 26 to 28 minutes from 1400 E Brow Rd. Interestingly, the mall was closer to E Brow Rd than the SM home on Ridge Rock Dr. MP’s mother’s apartment was also closer to E Brow Rd than the Ridge Rock Dr home [15 minutes from apt to Ridge Rock Dr using either the W Road ( 5.52 miles) (the W Road may have been closed, at least part of the day, on 4/30) or US Hwy 127 (6.27 miles); and 13 minutes from the apt to 1400 E Brow Rd using US Hwy 127 (5.77 miles), 10 minutes from the apt to 1400 E Brow Rd using the W Road (3.93 miles).
This distance/time from 40 Ridge Rock Dr, Signal Mountain, TN to 1400 E Brow Rd, Signal Mountain, TN or visa versa via Hampton Rd is 2.28 miles taking approximately 7 minutes to drive.
10) MP said he didn’t have any idea where Gail could be all the time from when she left the SM home in the afternoon on 4/30; yet, her mobile phone GPS locater specifically showed E Brow Rd, and MP reportedly had online capability to monitor Gail’s phone GPS. It was state upon finding Gail’s jeep that her mobile phone had been plugged in charging on 4/30 plus there was the phone ping on 5/2.
(Whether he knew on 4/30 or after LE compiled Gail’s phone records, it seems probable that MP and his CDT knew a significant amount of time before 12/1/2011 of Gail’s last known location.)
This is just touching the surface. More later…
