I think the families of the perps are usually the most forgotten victims. My heart hurts for all involved.
I know. You're right. But I;m having a hard time with compassion for her right now. I know it;s wrong! But I just happened to review, last night, video footage of jarred harrell and his mother, during his police interrogation. (I also listened to his jail house calls to mama again). It really hurt watching his mother fondle him and stroke him and call him baby and talk about how he needed to take care of himself. He got to hug her. They cried. It was 18 minutes and 23 seconds of love between mother and son. Of consoling. 18 minutes and 23 seconds of saying goodbye. 18 minutes and 23 seconds that Somer Thompson was not afforded with her mother. And I can only imagine how much her mother's arms and heart just ache for the opportunity to see her baby again, even for one minute. Just one hard hug.
It hurt my heart pretty deeply to watch that knowing what Somer and Diena will never have again on earth. And for some reason it;s hard for me not to connect that mother with this one. Even though I know they are different people, different circumstances, etc. Even though i know it;s not logical (which I usually am) nor fair.
But my heart tells me that people like jarred, people like tyler, likely have similar, enabling parents. Again, it;s not my brain saying that, it;s my gut.
But it has been an emotional day today.
If a hospitalized patient is in police custody, they are listed as confidential and all contact with the family or anyone else regarding the patient has to go through law enforcement. That is probably why mom was sent away.
That's right. LE gets to decide who talks to the punk. Not mom. Even though he's a minor. A big, hulking, sadistic, creepy, revolting minor.
I am guessing if second suspect exists, he/she was more of an accomplice after the fact.
I tend to agree. We'll see. Either way, an accomplice after the fact faces similar penalties.
I'm seriously puzzled by all of the evidence he (they?) left for police to pin it on him. Okay, I can see how leaving her body like that indicates panic. But then he identifies the victim before anyone else knows. He makes up conflicting alibis. He attends the memorial wearing a t shirt saying "wanted". Stands watching LE search the family's house. It's as if he wanted to get caught. I don't think it's simply a matter of being stupid. Nobody can be that stupid and actually function day-to-day can they? I think he set the fires and I wonder if it was because he was p'd off that he hadn't been caught yet.
Have you seen his FB?
I would think if he's capable of talking at all they would encourage the visit with mom, they could secretly record the whole thing and maybe he'd confess to her or share important details ... Or ... Implicate another.
I wonder of she hired him an attorney or herself?
Oh gosh, that''s why jarred harrell was allowed that 18.23 minute love fest with his mother I just referenced. It led nowhere, BTW.
Do we know for a fact that the neighbors were all in on this arrest/suspect and were all keeping quiet? Or is this an assumption? Just trying to clarify.
I think yes. The news at least reported that they told some neighbors what was going to go down with the arrest, beforehand. Also, one poster stated that many neighbors knew where LE was looking and much information about what tyler said about where he was, how he was pacing, staring, that he had a tarp in his backyard, etc., but no one altered media and they kept it pretty quiet. Since the warrant reflects this information, I tend to believe it;s true.
Because it was an isolated event from LE's perspective. I don't think they use the same definition we do. One murder, one murderer, possibly with an accomplice. He's not a serial killer, he's not connected to a gang, he's not part of organized crime making a hit. While he might eventually have killed again if not caught, it wasn't likely to be soon.
I don;t know. IMO, anyone capable of such a hideou7s act will strike again or is at great risk of doing so. No way to tell that a 17 year old who has murdered won;t do so again. Maybe they just wanted to lull the perp into a sense of security.
Did notice that KH's lawyer specializes in juvenile criminal law...know she isn't the minor here. Could LE not be working with mom seeing her son because SHE has lawyered her son up!?
Good sleuthing. My guess is this creep has had prior juvenile legal issues.
Oh, did I mention that I hate him? (Sorry :blushing
