Just a thought here. I may be way out in left field on this ( I am not a legal expert, by any means ) but do you think MC's family may have a legal team that is now advising them to not comment about the case on public internet forums? I realize their P.I. is not a lawyer, but I wonder if the family may have hired one to represent their interests? Would that be common knowledge if they had?
The article above is titled: "Ethical Rules for Litigating in the Court of Public Opinion"
It is full of legalese ( which I could not fully comprehend ) and it's directed to lawyers about the legal implications of speaking out in public in an ongoing investigation.
The main gist of the article is the prevention of prejudicing potential jury members. I didn't see direct mention of the victim's 'family members' per se, but to me, it would make sense if a lawyer, by extension, might want to apply the 'rules' to them too. Family members may have more inside information than the public.
With all that is swirling around about this case particularly, and questions about how it's been handled, I could see a couple of potential future trials. So wouldn't surprise me if MC's family members have been advised to stay quiet. Not to even risk it.
I know they have spoken to the media, wonderful interviews in fact. But perhaps those are done under legal advisement too. I don't know. Maybe easier to release information in a planned interview than risk an unguarded moment on a forum like this one.
Then of course, I could be completely off base too.
I do little social media, so I'm not sure where/if they are commenting. Maybe they, as a family, all got together and made the decision on their own as to which social media they would feel most comfortable.
Regardless, I hope the whole family knows how much we all care. We want PaPaw found, the truth revealed, and justice done.
We are here. We will
never go away! We will keep asking questions and demanding answers.
