I have a few musings about this case. As more time passes, I think that the likelihood that someone from the original SWs was involved in MB's death decreases. Some criminals are smart, but they all leave behind clues to their identities. If MPD has done their job and one of the people named on the original SWs was involved, I think that there would have been an arrest by now. Last fall, I sat back and waited to see if there was going to be an arrest. I thought that there was a possibility that MPD was lining up all of their proverbial ducks, but that clearly didn't happen. I still wholeheartedly believe that this was personal and was carried out by someone who knew (or at the request of someone who knew) Missy. I am not even sure where to go from here.
There are also two things that struck me about BB's most recent press release/interview. First, I have not seen anyone talk about what Missy suffered at the hands of SP. I have seen BB lament what Missy's death means for him (multiple times) and for his girls. I have never once seen anyone question what Missy must have thought during those fateful moments. I have not seen anyone lament that Missy was taken from them too soon. I have not seen anyone express that Missy was the ultimate victim in all of this. Where is the outrage at what happened to her? She was killed in a
church for crying out loud. The perp was caught on camera moments before Missy's death. Where is the uproar? I cannot comprehend the passive acceptance of this.
Second, both BB and MPD have now publicly stated that they are "waiting" for a person to come forward (MPD made this statement in one of the People articles, I believe). Do these parties actually believe that SP is going to come forward and confess? This crime is not going to solve itself. I want to bang my head against the wall when I hear that they are "waiting" for a break in the case. It appears that everyone is resolved to that fact that Missy is dead and that this may or may not be solved. There does not seem to be any desire for a resolution to this case.
In closing here is a recent article from the NY Post. It doesn't specifically talk about Missy, but it addresses female murder victims.
