VA - Anjelica "AJ" Hadsell, 18, Norfolk, 3 March 2015 #4

[Vail]

So if the offense was on March 6 why did they not arrest him then? Why wait until today?

Typically how it goes is they will be putting ducks in a row so to speak, and then when that key piece of evidence is found that gives them probable cause or enough to make a solid arrest, they will act. This is recently how Christina Morris' case went down as well - as soon as they could, Plano PD arrested the perp on Aggravated Kidnapping the second they confirmed DNA.

The no bond on this one is the most telling. They have to be worried he would flee, and he wouldn't flee if it was just a little ol misdemeanor.

There's someone with the initials MR who has said her daughter is friend's with AJ posting on the WAVY FB. Her comments on her thoughts prior to the arrest are interesting since it seems to indicate even those apparently close to the situation IRL thought things were strange.

IMO they would not arrest a grieving father for obstruction if they didn't feel he had serious involvement.

Still not a POI?

Just Wait!
Little Steps, this is how it begins!

Give him even more rope to hang himself... (which he seems to have done with his interview and frequent changes/additions to the timeline)

Hope he'd inadvertently lead them to evidence or remains or a crime scene while tracking him...

They do not want him to run!
jmo
They are getting too close.

I feel like I have heard those initials before

Yes what's that saying - if you hear hooves think horses not zebras!!

Tigers don't change their stripes... moo

They may be arresting him on probable cause that he tampered with the original evidence (the credit card)...that's my opinion. But only doing it just to hold him.

They all thought denial was a river in Egpyt.

I also think that they really, really wouldn't be arresting him for tampering with evidence/obstruction if they didn't think he was involved. His daughter is missing - they would want his cooperation to find her and probably would be forgiving of small slip ups. I think they wouldn't arrest him in the middle of her disappearance for something like trying to find more evidence thru b&e as others are suggesting.

You have....scanner thread. But I don't think it was related to AJ's case.

 

[Mountain_Kat]

Anyway....managed to read all the way up to page 11 before the SHTF. Skipped right over to the last page to follow in real time.

(((((AJ))))))

Wesley Hadsell arrested on charges of obstructing justice, possessing ammunition & occupying home w/ intent to commit misdemeanor.

 

[luckyseven]

Yeah he probably made threats to whoever they said they found the jacket in the house; however, if the reports of a jacket found during the new search he made a hasty decision in that one.

Again, I can't imagine the police arresting a grieving father in the middle of an investigation just for threatening her probable attacker! Does this happen? Can anyone provide more insight? I think there is no way he would be in custody right now if he wasn't being highly considered for more dubious crimes.
