It is someone specific. It is not from talk around town or anything like that since I am well over 1200 miles away. I can't escape that this is very personal and the killer knew quite a bit about Missy. It goes back to the SW dump that came out in early May. MPD released them early when they could have held them for a number of days and even then they could have gotten an extension. So that told me they released it for a reason. Were they trying to put pressure on a known suspect? Were they trying to flush a suspect to flee or a spouse or friend to turn one of them in? Was an arrest imminent? When nothing happened within a few days I examined the idea of what if the SW dump was meant to convey was a message to SP saying we know it isn't any of these people and we are on the hunt for someone else.Jethro, you've mentioned this theory a lot. Where is it coming from and do you have someone in mind, if you're free to say so? Is this from talk around town or people you know close to the parties in this case? It's an unusual theory -- maybe not totally out there, if someone's spouse is rigid enough to be offended to the point of murder that his wife is having too good a time acting single with her friend -- but it's not the first or even third theory I'd consider without some sort of inside knowledge. TIA.
So from there if it was someone close figure out who the circle of friends and the common links - children of the same ages, for example, but there are other common links. Which friends are connected not only to Missy but to each other as well. Find these circles. Find which one is closest. Start there and shake the trees and see what falls out.
I still hold that belief that the killer is close, very close. I believe if MPD were really onto someone they would have singled them out as a POI straight up by not and not wavered on that person. It doesn't matter if the prosecutor would be able to or be confident of getting a conviction. The idea of they just need to tie up loose ends or something doesn't hold any water with me. The problem with this case is that they have no direct evidence that the person on the video was who killed Missy. I don't believe they have the murder weapon nor do I believe they have the projectile or any part of it fired from it, nor do they have the tactical gear or any idea where any of this stuff was purchased. Not to mention they actually have to get any suspect they do have to and from that church. Absent finding the physical evidence items I cited above it will be hard to go anywhere with this case.
On the other hand I do believe that MPD has evidence, unique evidence, that could shake things up and put pressure or focus to a very narrow range of people. They are sitting on certain details that are to no real advantage to them any more.
Unfortunately I believe the same as MT in what she said in July - that MPD has no one in focus. I believe she said in the July articles that she (and the family) were absolutely stunned in May when they realized that MPD had nothing while the family had been given the impression by MPD that they did. They were very frustrated with MPD and I strongly suspect they still are. MPD is obviously missing something. The investigators are either discounting a particular motive or they are discounting the significance of some piece of evidence. That is, looking at it from one or two perspectives when there may be more perspectives. I believe they are playing percentages and Occam's Razor and it is no wonder they are not hitting anything. And because of that I believe that they are not looking anywhere in the direction I have been looking.
Of course, I could be very wrong. It is for that reason that I am cautious of revealing too much.
