A little off thread...early on in the Alexis Murphy discussion, some members were mentioning registered sex offenders in the Nelson county area. I just had the time to look at the Va State Police website and look up my zip code. For the address, many of the RSOs have "work" as their address. Wouldn't the public rather see their residence address? Working around a RSO is a lot different than living around one, IMO. I wonder how accurate and up to date that information is anyway?

The way it works from here is that the charge that resulted in the arrest will now be presented to a grand jury in lieu of a preliminary hearing. Like a petit jury that tries cases, people from the jurisdiction are summoned for duty on the grand jury that meets at the beginning of each court's "term." The grand jury is sworn in and hears all of the cases for that term. The workings of the grand jury are not open to the public. After hearing evidence on probable cause, they will either return a "true bill" and indict Taylor for that charge (or others). The case will be tried in Circuit Court on the indictment. If a true bill is not returned, the charges are dismissed altogether. I hope this helps everyone understand Virginia procedure:)

OMG what if she ran her fingers through her hair while talking to him at the gas station and one flew out of her scalp and onto his shirt (without anyone noticing) then it stuck to him until he got back to the trailer and came off there?!?! :O

I'm sure that was his first story! He thought of that one already! haha

so the way I understanding this... media and family were allowed in but no cameras... hallahan was arguing that there was not enough evidence for the arrest let alone to hold without bail, lead investigator then asks for court room to be cleared, it is cleared, then presents other "sensitive" evidence, and then when Judge White reviews this evidence he then comes back with the decision to hold without bail... imo, this tells me, combined with aunts concern that hearing being public would release info that could jeaporidize investigation, tells me that they got some good evidence going, but dont want it out there to risk investigation or upcoming trial... moo moo mooooo

Originally, family members were also excluded from the hearing. So I don't think they know/knew anything sensitive that could jeopardize the investigation. I wonder if they too left the courtroom when it was cleared. jmo

I really hope that isn't what happened.. I guess the cellphone's last ping in the area of his home only reinforces the abduction charge... but you never know :(
 
So, upstream I remember someone posted a link detailing an interview with someone who claims to have known RAT...says he was into 48 Hours Mystery and CSI...

Can someone please tell me the approx number of miles and direction (N,S,E or W) of this search location from the gas station? There are still a few different options coming up in my searches. TIA :)

It is a 15-18 mile drive between the Liberty Gas Station and Cub Creek Road in Roseland, VA. Is is a long drive because of the curvy roads. To walk the distance, it is only 5 miles or so.

I'm sure that isn't what happened because he did admit to her being there with cornrow dude. So have no fear that's not how it went down, trust me.
 
If L.e has enough to convince the judge he needs to stay in jail, I think they already have enough to convince a grand jury and four weeks to add to what they have.

Unfortunately with the way I've seen people getting off lately with heinous crimes, it just may have worked. haha
 
Hey at least we don't have to wait until January now!! Maybe one silver lining is that the September date will keep the case in the spotlight and the hope alive :)

okay... mods can delete if needed, but I felt this was important... this is from my facebook... from a friend of mine... in my home town.. we are a few minutes from the nelson county line.... as is where this happened yesterday... this mom, by the way, is a very down to earth, quiet type so this is not something she would post unless it occurred...

Ok this is for all the young girls driving around the town of Amherst.....BE AWARE!!!!This happened to my 18 year old yesterday....And this happened not at night but during the daylight........She went to the Marathon station in Amherst (at the traffic circle) to get gas and when she pulled in she happened to notice a white pick up truck with two older men in it parked to the side watching people. She pulls to the other side of the parking lot to the farthest gas pump and gets out to get gas. The white truck immediately pulls to the pump right beside her and one man stays in the vehicle while the other gets out to pump gas. He is grinning and winking at her and they are laughing. She finishes pumping gas and locks her car to walk across the parking lot to the store for a soda. She hears the one man say "what about that one." She walks a little quicker to the store with her pepper spray in her hand and then comes back to her car and proceeds to pull out at the circle to go to Food Lion.....the white truck pulls out right behind her and follows her very closely to Food Lion. She gets to the lower end of the parking lot to meet her boyfriend but doesn't turn off her car and they drive very slowly by her watching her and smiling the whole time. Luckily her boyfriend pulls up and the men drive out of the parking lot on the other end....PLEASE, PLEASE ALL GIRLS pay very close attention to who is around you when you are getting gas or going into stores in the area!!! With Amherst County High School so close, we have so many young girls driving in the town that could become potential targets!!
