I tend to agree that I think this case must be something bigger and more involved than what looks like an "open & shut" case of murder. (not to make light of the severity in which Meghan's precious life was taken from her family & communtiy). I truly believe that investigators were on her Myspace page long before we were aware of it. Especially as much as the media kept showing her pic on Myspace. And speaking of Myspace, I guess I was the only one to notice or vocalize, that when I went to MySpace.com and queried Meghan, there were two Myspace pages. To me, what looked like the initial MySpace account had a side bar that said "Meghan F%cked Up." When I read that, I kinda got a little uneasy feeling. Granted, Meghan could have created the first account, made a mistake, and then typed that in to show that she was the one who made the error, however, with the way she died and knowing there was a molestation case pending...it just really made me creeped out. I mean, why would she refer to herself in 3rd person?
As far as LE, again, I can relate to this area a little bit. My cousin, Rick Spaulding, was the PP officer who died in Nov. 2005 while taking a criminal downtown after he led PPD (and other cities) on a chase. Prior to my cousins death, he told me some of the things LE goes through. During arrests, he has been accused of everything from being a member of the KKK to the Grand Wizard of the KKK. He has seen the after affects of a teenage mother who hid her pregnancy from her parents, go to the bathroon, deliver a baby, toss the baby out a 2 story bathroom window and found the baby face down in the sand (luckily) and by the grace of God, alive! Plus countless other devistations. I mean, LE gets to see ugly side of humanity. Even my cousin worked the late night shift (when the horror of the city happens the most). I'm not trying to get sympathy for my cousin, but they (LE) get bad mouthed from all angles. I really do not see anything positive about their jobs, other than from time to time, they get the bad guys off the streets. Oh yeah, and they know how to find me to meet their monthly citation quota. (I usually get one every year!) And yes, Christmas of 2006 I has so hot, I could have drove off while the officer was writing my ticker. It was a bad year and I could barely afford Christmas for my daughter and here I am getting a dang ticket that was due 2 weeks into January. Yes, I had a lot of choice words for the officer that I kept to myself. I was pulled over off of London Blvd. I wanted to tell him that the neighborhood in front of me has a lot of crack dealers and the best he could do was pull me over for failure to stop at a stop sign (with no oncoming traffic)? I was outraged...of course I kept my mouth shut. Because, when it all boiled down to it, I was the guilty party...if I had not just been in a hurry.
I guess all I'm trying to say is that I think they know alot more than what they share with us and maybe we should not be so hard on them. I know at my current job you have alot of politics you have to go through and we never know what all they have to go through. I know it's a job I would never want to do!
