I am curious about how to pick and choose what to believe from both MR and TLM. If both are being called liars, why believe either, including him when he allegedly said to one woman that he had been in trouble a lot as a kid? MR's lies have been laid out over the last while.
All we have so far, and yes I know that doesn't mean he just wasn't caught for things he had done, or sealed due to age: "Under cross-examination, Darmon said Rafferty had no criminal record when his name was brought to the attention of the police around the time of Tori's disappearance."

I saw earlier discussions about violence, revenge, and rape.
We don't know about MR. But what we have read aboUt TLM:
"Before Derstine ended his cross-examination of McClintic, jurors heard about another incident from her troubled past: As a child she put a dog in a microwave, but made up a story that the animal had been injured by another neighbourhood dog and had to be put down.
People accepted the story because no one could believe that McClintic "could be so cruel to such an innocent," Derstine said."

"On Thursday, Raffertys defence lawyer, Dirk Derstine read out passages from McClintics journal where she described herself as a cold-blooded killer. In one entry, she fantasized about cleaning up a murder scene and being able to smile the next day. In another, she talked in graphic detail about torture and raping people with rusty knives and razor blades."
"On Wednesday, McClintic was grilled about several graphic letters she had written to a friend between 2007 and 2008 in which she described herself as a gangster who wanted to torture and physically harm those who have wronged her."

In one reference, she talked about being a "vampire in heat" who had dreamt of "slaughtering someone, ripping someone" out bone by bone.
In another, she talked about kidnapping someone on the side of the road, mutilating them so she could "smash their skull apart and put it back together like a puzzle."
Rafferty's defence lawyer Dirk Derstine pointedly questioned McClintic on whether she sought to hurt those who did her wrong, or as the letters suggested, hurt others connected to these people.
"I would agree that I had anger issues and I did seek out to hurt those . . . as I had seen it, hurt or anger me in some form or another," she replied
While in youth custody, McClintic told the court she took prescription drugs including Prozac and often got into scraps with other inmates. One time, she hurt her hand while punching into a wall.
In one of the letters, she had talked about shooting a pregnant inmate in the face. In another, she said she wanted to "take out" another inmate's whole family when she got out of the youth detention centre.
"I may have meant at that time what I was saying," she testified. "I was younger at the time and this was years ago."
The court also heard that McClintic had assaulted her mother on two separate occasions in the past.

This part I have thought about, and what she possibly may have really meant imo by the part that is bbm:
When Rafferty killed Tori, kicking her, stomping on her and hitting her in the head several times with a hammer, it seemed like "he knew what he was doing," McClintic tells Ontario Provincial Police Det. Sgt. Jim Smyth.
"I felt at the point of tears a lot,
and I didn't want him to see that. I didn't want him to see any of that," she said.

Several parts of her story have always puzzled me, and frankly don't ring true to me. I don't have the exact wording here, maybe someone can help. Where she stated Tori needed to use the washroom so she went and got her from the car, held her hand and chatted and told her she was brave, and Tori said brave like her or something, and then went pee. She then walked her back to the car to be raped again. Somehow I don't believe this is possible. At all. JMO
Another would be where she allegedly saw Tori being assaulted in detail, and then all of a sudden little Tori was now out of the car and lying on the ground. I do believe where she stated she was in "a rage" prior to starting to attack Tori and that she "savagely murdered that little girl". JMO
The issue of her being too high, or high out of her mind etc. I don't believe for a minute that she would have many of the details and locations if she was out of her tree. JMO
JMO I also don't believe it was random. JMO
