Correct, thank you. I went back and reread because I knew LE never had QT on their radar in the Jessica C case. That was the first case I followed
here everyday. I even posted my first post in that thread for sentimental reasons, it just seemed appropriate. I'll never forget that sweet girl. :rose:
But I digress:
LE's first responsibility is to find the perp and in doing that they have 2 things to keep in mind. Respect for the victim's family and constantly
being mindful that anything they say or do is possibly being watched by the perp.
The public nor the media don't get to know the real scoop/story until they have an arrest. Even then its usually during the trial that all the
details are revealed. Until then I completely understand why LE sits on certain info - like releasing the 911 calls.
If releasing those calls could jeopardize their investigation or case then I say sit on them, same thing if there are any
SWs that aren't 'released or anything they are keeping under wraps. We will find out soon enough.
I actually find it encouraging they have info they are sitting on, IMO that means they have info that may help find the SP.lease:
I think your Oklahoma State sticker is closer to the shape with a rectangle on top of some other shape like an oval. One of my first thoughts was some kid went home to Midlo or Waco or somewhere for the weekend, and was traveling back to school very early Monday morning on I35, punched fast food into the GPS, exited to get some Whataburger and wait out the worst of a downpour before getting back on the road. (No, I never was so young to get up at 1 or 2 AM on a Monday to drive to school or work over 150 miles awayI have always thought it looked like one of too many to count Harley Davidson stickers - the one below without the white peel away background (they have them like that that peel off leaving only the HD shape).
One thing that keeps coming back to my mind is the weather that night. Perhaps what I've set out below has been asked, answered, and/or discussed over the past few weeks, but I don't recall or haven't seen it (there is so much to keep up with); it may also be just stating the obvious. Interested to hear what folks here think to settle these nagging thoughts (and feel free scroll/roll past me
We know that the weather forced the CG training inside that day per MB's FB announcement. So, working from the assumption that MB was targeted:
1. Do we know if MB routinely went inside the church as part of the set up each day (or specifically Mondays for some reason?) If she did routinely go into the church as part of the set up before each camp (perhaps to open the building for water, restrooms, or what have you), then that settles in my mind that the SP would know this from doing his/her homework stalking her and casing the church building/grounds/area. The SP would know the narrow window of opportunity within minutes and plan accordingly.
My answers in blue.
Love this question. Say, it wasn't raining, and MB had no access to the interior of the building UNLESS of inclement weather. She would always still arrive quite early before class to set up the equipment. So, the routine of arriving alone and early would be known to a stalker. But, the fb announcement that the class would be inside due to rain, sparked SP into action because MB could be ambushed inside while setting up camp. SP read that fb post. Think of what was on their fb accounts. Austin success, fishing trip, Biloxi restaurant, indoor class, AT's class, rain.
JMHO
2.
outinely go into the church as part of the CG set up, then I'm puzzled by the following:
a. Would the SP have murdered her outside? To me, this would decrease the opportunity to isolate her and attack as well as risk witnesses, such as campers arriving earlier, etc (I know it was dark and timing well-planned but still...a risk that leads me to believe the SP needed her inside).
In my opinion, the urge to kill was there, the method of attack fantasized over, the costume selected and the indoor aspect of the rainy day removed the only thing that held SP back - fear of witnesses.
Or did the SP need a foul weather day that would place MB inside - trapping her - for an attack.
3. Or did the SP need to commit the murder on that specific day rain or no rain, inside or out and he/she was equally prepared for both (because the rain is a plan changer if MB did not typically go inside the church).
For weeks now, I've thought that the SP is a hunter (predator, for sure) or professional. The precision and methodical planning reminds me of hearing hunters talk about their "sport" and the gear, behavior, and preparation for a successful "kill."
Thoughts?SaveSave
