When I say accident my gut feeling is that his death was not a household mishap but probably the direct result of some action or something that went too far. I know they are waiting on tox tests so he could have found a stash while mom slept perhaps. Im not saying the parents are users but its possible given the tests they are waiting on. I was not at all comparing this to Casey Anthony. To this day we dont even know what really happened. I do understand LE being very careful as this will be a high profile case and they want no mistakes but a lot of what they are saying is feeding the rumor mill. At this point all we can do is wait for results and hope the case is priority at the lab and they come quickly
What I find fascinating is in all the years I have been here at WS I never heard of the theory that the child was killed accidentally and then the parent or parents hid the body. That seem to become a theory after the Anthony case.
Yet, when I searched during the Anthony case for any other case where it had ever happened before I found NONE. Not one case could I find showing where another parent accidentally killed their child and the child wound up discarded in a swamp or some other area. And I firmly don't believe it happened in Caylee's case either. And to this day I have never found another case showing any parent did what CA supposedly did while claiming Caylee's death was an accident. I don't expect to ever find one either because it was a lie. It was created out of thin air by defense lawyers who didn't mind telling lies to the jury they wanted to mislead.
And if a parent kills a child then it is not classified as accident. If they drugged him or if they hit him.....that is no accidental death. That is a homicide..........plain and simple.
All the parents I have seen who were responsible in their child's death immediately called 911 and fake it... saying the child had had an 'accident.' It is only when the child gets to the hospital it is shown that it was no accident at all but the child died or was seriously injured due to abuse.
I don't have any evidence that these parents ever abused Noah much less harmed him seriously enough to cause his death.
Imo they would investigate this as a criminal case until they know otherwise.
What none of us know.... because the Sheriff refuses to discuss it.... is how the lid was found when they first saw it.
And now after reading about Loic Rogers case this morning even if the lid was upright covering the septic tank it still could be a very tragic accident. That is two cases I have now read where if a child stands on the lid it will pivot like a trap door with them falling in and the lid flips back into its original place.
In the Rogers case LE didn't search the septic tank at first either because the lid was in its normal position.
But yet LE came to the determination through their own experiments that Loic's tragic death was an accident. And in the other case where a little girl fell in the septic tank that lid also rectified itself once swallowing her up. The only reason she was saved is someone saw the lid flip up and go back down.
So I am not ready to say anyone harmed Noah on purpose. I will do as the Sheriff has asked and wait for the evidence to come from his department.
I do hope they do their own experiments though just like they did in Loic's case if Noah's COD was due to drowning.
