It didn't make allot of sence back a week ago, I was thinking help on the run.
I never dreamt it was help BEFORE they left town, hind site is 20/20.
Different ages.......but what ties them together???? How are they friends?
Did they know Tina also? Was this planned? and for how long?:sick:

On AMc's stream on MS he says something about all the rain being bad for business. Someone replies with how it makes the grass grow and should be good for business. JE replies with "I hear ya".

Wasn't it said that JE was a landscaper at one time? I'm thinking they know each other because they worked together.

Just a thought.
 
A Virginia man wanted in connection with the kidnapping of a 12-year-old girl whose mother was found dead in a suspected homicide earlier this month agreed today to be extradited from San Francisco back to that state, prosecutors said. Jeffrey Scott Easley, 32, did not challenge extradition proceedings during a brief hearing this morning in San Francisco Superior Court, district attorney's office spokesman Seth Steward said. <snip>
After waiving extradition today, Easley will be transported back
to Roanoke County "very soon" for possible prosecution there, Steward said. more at link: http://sfappeal.com/news/2010/12/ma...-girl-bringing-her-to-sf-appears-in-court.php
 
How can someone kill someone and then act like nothing happened????
This just breaks my heart, shopping, laughing, stealing TV, car, selling SUV............
 
And I believe it was reported that she worked at a nursing home.

I also found this article which states she was a RN.

"Smith was an R.N. at a retirement center, where she coordinated patient plans..."

And at the same link, a description of the relationship between Tina and Brittany

"Dyer said the mother and child were very close, and that Brittany “couldn’t go a day without talking to her mother” when business or training occasionally called Tina Smith away."

It just dawned on me... Maybe this has been discussed before, but I've missed the obvious in the latest headlines: it seems that LE may think that more than one person killed TS. I've been so caught up with the 'who' that I've ignored the 'what'...

It's one thing to say someone may have assisted them with leaving town or getting away - but it's a huge leap to say they may have assisted with the murder of TS.
 
We can only assume the search warrant that was enacted on AM and GF's home did not produce anything that could tie them to the killing but the items from the Smith home were found there exactly as the informant said they would be.

I think LE considers that possibility because of the proximatey of AM to the crime scene and the interaction with JE on Friday night at the AM. I also think it is a reasonable assumption that there were phone call exchanged between AM and JE during the time period LE suspects the murder happened and shortly thereafter.

I do not know if this AM is involved in the death of TS but it certainly seems that he is involved up to his neck in the getaway. All MOO

Here's a link from the same paper with the timeline of the search for BS.
Two things....it states her father went to SF and it left out Sunday, when a person called LE for a wellness check and found "nothing".

On the surface it appears AM is involved in the getaway, however, he may have believed the items (found at his residence) were actually JE's and not Tina's. What we haven't heard was how much he supposedly paid JE for the SUV and his statement how he came into possession of the TV, DVD player, Nintendo, etc., including when they were removed from Tina's. I agree it doesn't look good for him, however. MOO
 
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??
 
snipped:

"Dyer said the mother and child were very close, and that Brittany “couldn’t go a day without talking to her mother” when business or training occasionally called Tina Smith away."

Did she leave BS there with JE if she had training or was away - scary thought.
 
Is it possible the Brittany did not feel well Friday/looked off in video due to some drugs, given to her with or without her permission? If you take drugs and are not used to them, you might well wake up feeling lousy all over, even your bones hurting...

It's one thing to say someone may have assisted them with leaving town or getting away - but it's a huge leap to say they may have assisted with the murder of TS.

OMG, what did they do to her???
I pray it was quick and she didn't suffer.
IIRC (does anyone remember) before a presser, someone heard and posted
"CRUEL".......................I hope they didn't mean what happened to Tina........

What if the reason we havent heard what was paid for the SUV is because it wasn't paid with $$... What if JE "sold" the SUV to AM in exchange for his taking "care" of Tina..and was told part of the payment was he could take items from the house after doing so?? Just thinking out loud....

Exactly what I was trying to say last night, but was pussyfooting around with because we did not know for sure someone else was involved at that point!!! This scenario explains a lot!!!

Yeah. I remember when this happened. It was when everyone was mumbling before Detective Lavinder spoke. I pray as well that it was quick. Just the thought of her suffering brings tears to my eyes.

:(
