I’m sorry but I see certain posts as working hard to find reasons a case doesn’t fit a certain scenario rather than looking logically at each piece of evidence and seeing what it might represent.
He hasn’t been arrested. He’s not a person of color (who have higher rates of wrongful convictions).
Black People More Likely to Be Wrongfully Convicted of Murder, Study Shows
He’s not been convicted of a crime.
He’s not a weird, loner type who really admired the police and was the first person to find a bomb.
It’s a combination of things here that have me feeling suspicious:
1. Large missing chunk of time. He’s a person who hasn’t accounted for four hours of time while accounting for everything else.
2. Lack of concern. Who was so unconcerned when he found his newborn and girlfriend missing, but the diaper bag, purse with money, and car behind, and in an unlocked car. Remained unconcerned for four whole hours. Still was not alarmed enough to call the police when the school four hours later. And waited an hour to call police after that.
3. Strange affect and behavior. Evasive eye contact during interviews. AND inappropriate smiling and laughing. AND rocking and self-soothing.
4. No third party. No evidence Heidi was schedule to meet with anyone.
5. No BOLO’s. No reports of anyone suspicious seen near her home or at her home. No BOLOs. And if there are surveillance cameras in the complex as the latest article indicates, there should be some third party or evidence that Heidi walked off. But we’ve heard nothing.
6. No public LE camera presence. No urgent please for help for the vulnerable infant and mom, by LE. They have avoided getting on camera for days. Not trying to really publicize shows no real sense of urgency when it comes to finding them alive.
7. The usual suspect.
8. Distancing language. Strange wording that indicates distancing efforts. “Beautiful women” when referring to fiancée AND newborn baby girl. “It’s my fiancée.” Referring to Heidi. “Set her to the side.” When referring to what the abductor should do with a supposedly live Heidi.
9. Lack of concern. Not being concerned with what info a call that came in could give him about his missing infant and fiancée. “I don’t care about the phone.” Looks at it for half a second as he quickly shuts it off.
And so on.
But once again, I’m not making an accusation. Baby snatching and post partum psychosis remain on my possibles list. I’m just trying to analyze everything with logic and see what is concerning to me and what appears more probable.
Not trying to explain away evidence because I think it doesn’t fit what I feel, but in doing so, inadvertently explaining away evidence that could support my position.
Thus, here are things I have discussed that point to something other than the usual suspect:
1. He says he called her at 1:40 pm. That should be super easy to prove. Why would he call her if he actually came home and found her there and then something happened between them, later? Time line and phone records should be easy to establish this.
2. Except in cases of child abuse it is rare for parents to decide to kill only one of their own kids.
3. Hasn’t lawyered up.
4. Willing to do multiple media interviews and hasn’t refused to answer their questions as far as we know.
5. Has shown genuine (I think) emotion when discussing his missing family and the circumstances of the case.
Regardless, I don’t judge cases based on the fact that sometimes innocent people are arrested or convicted. I also don’t judge cases based on how everyone else is feeling. There have been dozens of cases where people’s hinky meters have gone off and mine haven’t. Someone brought up the little boy with autism found drowned. People suspected his dad. Not me. I remember people suspecting Katlynn Cargill’s parents. Not me. Shaniyah Davis’s dad. Not me. Multiple cases.
And also some high profile cases where I didn’t agree with the majority as to guilt of the accused (West Memphis Three, Amanda Knox) and cases where people not formally accused but very suspected by thousands, I actually think are innocent (Madeleine McCann’s parents, for one).
But for me, innocent people being wrongfully convicted or arrested doesn’t inform my position when analyzing a case that just started. It’s simply the facts and what I see and hear. What’s logical to me. Human nature. Experience. And following these cases for a few decades now.
And what I see here stinks.
