MOO. . I think the ex may have found out through the grapevine. It's just the impression I got. I think he knew before she mustered up the courage to tell him.
Don't feel bad. His FB was "sanitized." I knew it. It was too sweet. You just learn these things after awhile. He had some similar photos on his FB, but they were "scrubbed." There were huge holes in his FB timeline. That's a red flag that things have been deleted.
I know you all know I was hard on him right from the starting gates. I understand why posters were suspicious of her bf. BUT as odd as he was, I knew he was being truthful. He rambled. He wasn't being conscientious of what he was saying. Liars stumble because they are aware and self conscience about the fact that they are lying. The bf's ramblings were things that would be too easily verified. LE was not interested in him. They were putting the screws to the ex. That alone screams that they already verified the bf and found him to be truthful.
Anyone who was paying attention could tell the ex lied about meeting at McDonald's. The bf was the last person to see her. She had plans to meet the ex and called the bf from McD's saying he was there. But yet LE says that the bf was still the last person to see her, but she was "seen" at McD's? Direct translation=she went to McD's, was "seen" on tape, but the ex denies being there. Uh. . .yeah. . .but the news reports that he was there with a child? You better believe LE knows he was there!
They also knew where her car was. And exactly where she dropped off the grid. There is no doubt in my mind that they pinged her phone and the ex's phone the same day she went missing. They knew EXACTLY what happened! And my money is on that they knew the bf told the truth, but the ex lied. Look. . .somebody can be the sleaziest, odd character, but if they are telling the truth, then that is what it is. Liars are much more dangerous. They have something to hide.
Welcome. And there is nothing wrong with supporting your friend. I hope you stick around. What you will find here is that a lot of posters have seen the underbelly. . .have been victims or are loved ones of victims, of people that most "normal" people have a hard time understanding really even exist. It's real. Some priests, teachers, boy scout leaders and youth pastors are really child rapists. The trusted doctor, banker, mailman or upstanding small business owner is really a serial killer. Evil walks among us. Human beings have the capacity to be the most vile, heinous creatures on earth. Take a stroll through this located forum. There are several new threads everyday. All of these people had loved ones, their perpetrators have loved ones too. And those loved ones have loyal friends. It's a very large, sick, twisted tree of pain and betrayal.
I can't imagine what your friend, Matthew's mother, is feeling at this moment. I'm a mother too. She must be in complete denial, if for nothing more, than keeping her sanity. You bring a innocent child into this world, love it and do the best that you can, but something like this happens. The self doubt and over whelming guilt must be unbearable.
But hear me now. You say you are a logical person. This case was overwhelmingly obvious from the get go. Matthew lied to the police. They have him, most likely, on multiple video tapes. I've been to this rodeo more times than I'd like to admit. They pinged Melissa's phone. They pinged Matthew's phone. Why do you think they found her car right off the bat? Why did they "know" she was in Cypress Creek? It's because they had the evidence. Not all cases are like this. Some go on for years without the kind of evidence that was so obvious here. As this evidence starts becoming public, I just want you to be prepared. You are going to be conflicted. And that is OK. His mother is not at fault. You are not at fault, when you start realizing that Matthew really did do this. He did this. And no one. . .NO ONE really knows what is in the heart or the mind of another.
I hate to be the one that lays it out like that. But you will learn. I wish you didn't have to. I wish that this didn't happen. I wish that Melissa was here, happily playing and loving her beautiful girls while preparing for the birth of another child. But, because of the actions of one man, that's not the reality. And reality is a cold, hard b*tch. Some of us learned that early on, some of us had to wait. Some lucky few will never have to learn. Welcome to this big green rock. :hug:
