what would they be searching for?
considering the boys were last seen around 630
Nothing. He flat out made it up. He made up a lot of *advertiser censored* and contradicts himself quite a bit between the Pasdar deposition, his police interview and his other appearances. Which is weird since he claims to have kept/started a journal where one would think relevant matters would be recorded. Why?
He tries to get David to change his story once the heat starts to go up a little for him after the DNA tests came out.
He places himself at the crime scene and says he saw JMB on the service road from the woods. Assuming that's even possible, the problem is he didn't KNOW Byers at that time. What an odd thing to commit to memory.
He stayed in the car when Mark and Dana were talking to the police around 8pm and also claimed that meeting took place earlier - I believe to spread out his alibi timeline.
He also had Stevie's pocket knife, which I personally think was used at some point to cut the shoelaces.
If you watch his interviews and deposition it's astonishing how problematic a lot of it is.
ALso, sorry. I'm bored and catching up with the thread so randomly responding to some stuff I read, not directing at you.
- Nobody "mentioned turtles" because everyone was told these kids were stabbed to death and Peretti did a crap job as ME. Chris' penis wasn't removed by a knife. The kids weren't stabbed to death.
- The WM3 "have no alibi" because they had no reason to remember that specific day. I can't tell you with any degree of certainty what I did 2 Fridays ago and, were I to guess and be mistaken, it wouldn't mean I was lying. I can remember specific things about my mother's suicide or my son being taken to the ER but not regular days. IF the WM3 had done it, it would actually make more sense for their stories to be more consistent, no matter how flimsy, since they had a few weeks to work up a lie. THis is typically ho co-conspirators get caught since their stories are almost TOO consistent.
- Echols' mental history is troubling but doesn't change the fact it's not direct evidence relating to the case. And a triple homicide by a group of teenagers inflicted on 3 random kids would be exceedingly rare statistically. Like "almost never happens" levels of rare. 3 drunken long hair kids do this and there's no hair(s) and nothing that match up to any of them?
- Speaking of hairs, the "Hobbs hair" statistical probability of a match goes up when you add the "Jacoby hair". Meaning a 95% likely match on one COMBINED with, say, an 80% match on another has an exponential effect. When TWO unlikely unlikely coincidences happen simultaneously, the math behind it becomes exponential and neither can be taken in a vacuum. Hope that makes sense.
- JMB was a ver good suspect but his timeline is pretty hard to poke holes in and the WMPD looked him over pretty good. There's no physical evidence linking him to the case except the PL1 knife but it doesn't seem like knives were used in these killings. He was a weird cat and for a long while looked good for the crime. I've ruled him out. I think the WMPD were close and just got the wrong stepfather.
- The WM3 have been out of jail for, what, 9 years now? Three convicted child killers who supposedly murdered 3 random little boys spend 28 years locked up (and all the horrible *advertiser censored* that goes with that), get let go, and not one of them picks up where they left off or has any violent offenses almost a decade later? I doubt any of them were "cured" in the ASP. If this were "in them" to do this, we'd have seen some trouble by now and all we have is a Jessie DUI.
- Even after being released, the WM3 STILL want everything tested. Why? They can't overturn the Alford Plea or sure the state. They're already OUT. If they were guilty they wouldn't want anything else tested.
