That's about it! Hoping for a major story soon about how the body (sorry baby girl) was transported!
What if he rolled her fairly tight in the tarp and fastened it with the belt and then held it by the belt, kind of like you would a suitcase handle? She was around 4' long? That might be manageable, although not for a long walk. Then the kids on the street could have uncovered her to see what the "trash" was and when she was found, she was merely covered with the tarp.
ok my question is: If he was the known neighborhood trouble maker and under age didnt anyone go to his mom and complain? I know I would. Some 15-16 year old punk breaking into cars, slashing tires, and carrying pipes and no one talked to the mother??
I think he only became a "known neighborhood trouble maker" after his arrest. There sure were lots of stories about him bullying, etc. but not prior. Kind of like Monday-morning quarterbacks.
Also, didn't we read from the grandfather that he was ADHD or something when younger? Trust me, if mom brought it up to the police at all, when mental health issues and minors come together, police do not do anything. I can attest to many police visits to my own home when my twins, now almost 19, were 11, 13, etc. and once I told them about that particular boy's mental health history, their eyes glazed over. They would rather see them dealt with in a hospital or a visit to the psych than in jail or juvie.
Now, turn 18 and one day or in TH's case in TX, 17, that's a whole new ballgame.
I also have to say that I've read many, many times here how TH wasn't smart. I disagree. He was smart enough to get her, torture her and kill her.
I don't think he cared if he got caught. I know teen boys like this. They grew up with the instant gratification of video games and cell phones. They have never truly gone without nor can they imagine playing in the dirt with spoons and leaves like kids did when I was young. Life is boring! There is me, me, me and video games, chats, drugs (in this case) and way too much time on their hands. Many of them expect life to come easy for them. Compared to the 1980's or 1990's, I see many less teens with plans and excitement for their future. I find it very sad. Off my soap box... :truce:
