What bothers me with all of this as with any other crime, is the lack of moral compass the perpetrator has. I cannot wrap my head around it. I read these forums because I strongly believe in justice and that we are here for the good of all. To put it simply ... To love one another. When someone commits a horrible crime like this and you have others covering up for them,it chips away at that hope you have for mankind. WH is a bad seed unfortunately, and has never reformed himself. I don't know what happened to him growing up; is it nurture or nature? My thoughts on this are that WH is guilty. No, I am not jury or God, I am merely looking at the facts.
Fact one: He lied about meeting up with AJ, lied about giving her money, lied about the GO PRO, and continues to backtrack changing his story to cover for himself. Why does an innocent person need to cover for themselves?
Fact two: He planted evidence. That appears plain and simple. He was covering for himself as his fingerprints were on the bankcard, on the jacket, etc. He was leading these searches with manipulation and purpose to obstruct or thwart evidence.
Fact three: He is a known criminal with a heinous history of kidnapping, abuse, rape, bank robbery, drug use, and probably a plethora of other crimes he has not gotten caught for.
Fact four: His work van was in Franklin the week of March 2nd, AJ's phone pinged somewhere near WH's motel room,(text message to sister) and later out near the pond on Joyner's Bridge rd. I am thinking it was the text message to mom ping from that area in Franklin early in the a.m.
LE knows what they are doing it is merely a matter of time and following protocol on evidence obtained. I wish JH would come clean on what the family dynamics were in that household. I wonder if AJ ever opened up and shared with a friend.
Zach I wish you Good Healing, unfortunately WH is a smooth manipulator and you were up against a Con Man. They are conniving and know the system and they are grandiose and self serving. Love yourself and be strong, your girls will come around on their time. This a difficult time for them, and they are probably lost in the loss of AJ and cannot handle much more than that right now. I still hold out hope because there are good people in this world.
