Wow! This thread really picked up a LOT of speed with HF's arrest. I got excited about it thinking this might be the beginning of break.
After settling back and really giving it some thought though:
- EA and HF may know of one another even though they went to different high schools. But I think really that's probably as far as it goes.
- EA, HF and drugs. This may be how they know one another. But one is in Allen and the other in Dallas (or maybe Ft. Worth). Two different turfs and not likely any competition. At best, maybe they have the same connection. But I don't see any more than that. I could be wrong, but I want to see it from LE or the media first.
- HF's involvement with Christina's disappearance. I am an outsider - that is, HF's emotional reaction to her disappearance and helping with flyers and searches carries little weight with me. (Maybe that makes me more objective...who knows.) BUT he did gave up his phone to LE. OK, he might have had a 2nd, but LE should have Christina's phone records by now and they would verify if the phone she was calling was the one that HF volunteered. My gut tells me he was probably at the after hours club in Dallas early that Saturday morning. So far, I only see him as being guilty of not caring enough when it mattered and that is in the first 24-48 hours after he last heard from her. (Yeah, he MIGHT have tried to call her, but did he call her dad and stepmother, her mother, the police. No.)
- So far I think the arrest is a distraction, a side show, from the objective. Find Christina.
Two things are probably going to come out of this. One, the 'friends' who are not helping are probably going to try to put more distance from this entire affair and that is not good.
The other is that the publicity keeps Christina's disappearance in the media. Keeps in front of the public. Keeps the light on it and the perps are like cockroaches in that they run from the light. Ironically, this publicity might be a good thing.
What I believe happened would have happened whether drugs or alcohol were a part of it or not. At most drugs or alcohol are a lame excuse someone's inappropriate actions that morning. She left the garage most likely in someone else's vehicle and that person ends up with bruises, a limp and maybe a bite mark. And then he told lies to LE.
But this is just me. I'm sticking with this guy till the evidence takes it somewhere else.
