bold by me.
Snipped for space, Le Singe;
As I read the post above by eyespeeled, (and your repsonse also above, Le Singe) it seems to me that poster, "eyespeeled" is doing what we all are doing... having a discussion about the case. And people are all limited to speculating on theories b/c no one knows -- since Morgan is still missing.
It is unclear as to what you're proposing is (or is not) 95% fact. Just trying to follow.
I'm curious to understand how it is that a fellow poster sharing his/her ideas is being characterized as "extremely unhelpful?" What is the alternative? We all sit tight til there is an arrest and the trial is in full swing, and then we discuss the outcome? I cant believe anyone here at this site has intent to be "extremely unhelpful" - quite the conrtrary, imo.
So are you saying that your fear is that Jane Doe, who is on the brink of calling in a legit tip, is allowing an anonymous poster on a website to dictate her actions?
As far as I am aware, no one knows for whom LE is looking.
In past cases, for example, a girlfriend of the perp noticed that her paramour happened to be conveniently "gone" on all the nights that various girls went missing. I understood eyespeeled post to be addressing that type of scenario. I find that a very plausible possibility.
In another case, the wife noticed that hubby came home and immediately washed his clothes which was unprecedented for him since he barely knew where the washer was located; She found that suspicious especially when coupled with other odd things she noticed about his activities .... b/c she was paying attention.
So basically, Le Singe, I read eyespeeled's post as simply calling attention to the possibility that a potential perp may perhaps be someone who has suddenly and conspicuously veered from his known routine without apparent reasonable cause. That's how I read it anyway, but Eyespeeled can correct me if need be. FWIW, that's how I took it and I thought it was helpful and plausible.

in the post in question it said
"LE should put the word out that they're looking for people who havent shown up to work for a week unexplained...."
I have no problem at all with any theories and all the theory eyespeeled put out are as possible as any other what i would have a problem with is LE "put the word out that they're looking for people who haven't shown up to work for a week unexplained" b/c then someone with credible information may think it is not relevent and decide not to call it in if it did not pertain to someone who had been absent from work. For whatever reason people are often hesitent to call in there neighbors co-works etc. and this could be enough for them to justify not doint it (again we are talking about LE putting it out not at all about anything posted here). This could cause them not to get important information in a timely manner and i'm sure we can all see how I could consider that to be "extremly unhelpful". I would not even thought anything of the post if it said something similar to "I think its worth looking for some one who has missed work" or even "I think whoever did this missed work for a week" what i would have a problem is LE putting that word out without justification, so what i was saying is I disagree the "LE should put the word out that they're looking for people who havent shown up to work for a week unexplained....". The reason being beyond just not helping it might actually hurt (once again I stress if might hurt for LE to do this).
The bigger picture what I'm trying to say is in cases like this I always hear people say they should do this or that, and they are 'playing close to the vest' which is hurting the chances of finding someone, and basically they give LE and the families hell for not releasing information, suggesting that they don't know what they are doing etc. I think most of them base this on the thinking that 'what do they have lose by letting the information out' and i'm saying its in reality a much more complex issue than people of this opinion seem to realize and there is something to be lost by releasing information that is just theory and conjecture. Again to clarify I mean there is some thing to be lost by some type of OFFICAL agency releasing such things. This is the basis of my extremly unhelpful remark (i.e. it would extremly unhelpful if LE did this not referring to anything anyone post here)
So please please do not think I have any problems with any one posting any kind of theory at all. What I took issue with was the 'such and such should do this or that' this is probibly in part due to miss judging the tone of the post. I don't have any problem with anyone saying anything, but i didn't agree with saying the father should do this (implied) or that LE should do this (explicitly stated). I felt like it was beyond putting for theories, but again this is most likely me miss interperting the tone of the post.
Anyhow is was not my intent to start an agruement or be disrespectful to anyone so I appolgize an hope we can move on.
