Trying to collect my thoughts between what we KNOW vs. what we THINK.
- We KNOW the brother of BS, son of TS, died 8/04/09 at the age of 16. This apparently happened shortly after he was sent to live with his father (who was different than BS's father). He was possibly sent to live with his father due to problems at home with TS.
- We KNOW JE enters the life of TS and BS sometime during the summer of 2010. BS begins posting about "HBC - ily" stuff in June, 2010 and he reportedly "moves" into their home in October. Prior to that, per MySpace postings, he was 'working out' and 'watching movies' with BS. I haven't read TS's MySpace, so anyone with solid info here, please fill in the timeline.
- We KNOW that JE met other family members at Thanksgiving 2010. They did not like what they saw between him and BS because he was 'touching her arm and stroking her hair' in an 'inappropraite' manner. We believe the family called CPS. When did they call??
- We KNOW TS posted on FB on 12/2/2010 "If I should die before I wake God bless my friends. May I be remembered for my good heart and hopeless romantic ways."
- We believe BS did not go to school on 12/3/2010. BS allegedly posted a comment on ???FB/MS???? on 12/3/10 that she wasn't feeling well all over, that even her bones hurt.
- We KNOW TS posted on FB on 12/3/2010 at 1:30 pm "God please protect us from the evils of this world."
- We KNOW TS died sometime on 12/3/2010. The cause of death and time of death are a bit mysterious. There have been repeated reports of the time of death being sometime between 'late morning and early evening hours'. There have been reports in the media from family that TS was "beaten" but there have been reports in the media that she was 'beaten' or 'shot'. Truth is - we do not know how she died, but it was apparently violent enough to be obviously a murder. The body of TS was found inside of the home.
- We KNOW JE/BS were seen purchasing camping equipment with Tina's credit card at WalMart at 1851 West Main Street, Salem, VA on 12/3/2010 between 8:00 and 8:30 pm.
- We KNOW JE/BS arrived in a red SUV that belonged to JE. AM arrived in his purple car slightly before JE/BS and they were seen entering the Apple Market Convenience Store together at 2723 West Main Street, Salem, VA at around 9:20 pm on 10/3/2010. JE is supposed to have sold the red SUV to AM and his girlfriend JM that night. AM may have a past arrest of a sexual assault of a minor. AM and his girlfriend JM have been questioned by LE and their duplex has been searched. AM and JM are currently not charged. They DID have in their possession a flat screen TV, a Wii gaming system, a DVD player and DVDs/Wii games from TS's home, which they claim was 'in the SUV' when they purchased it from JE. These items were reported missing from the home of TS by a family member. AM was obviously with JE/BS the evening they were last seen according to an Amber Alert that was issued. AM never came forward to LE and AM and his girlfriend JM have given conflicting statements to LE.
- Amber Alert issued after TS's body found oin 12/6/2010.
- JE's red SUV was located 12/6/2010 at the home of AM.
- We STRONGLY BELIEVE BS knew her Mom was dead during the time she was seen at WalMart and Apple Market because of what LE has told us, but we do not know when she became aware of her Mom's death.
The big questions (in no particular order):
1. Why did JE/BS meet AM at the Apple Market???
2. What was JE doing with the door of the Apple Market???
3. How did AM get stolen goods from the home of TS?
4. How did JE/BS drive off from the Apple Market in JE's SUV and yet it ended up being found on 12/6/2010 at the home of AM/JM?
5. When did BS know her Mom was dead??
6. Who murdered TS??
