I apologize for not adding a JMO to my post above, but I don't apologize for what I said, nor do I consider it libellous in the least (I am not a journalist).
The man has been indicted for murder.
All of this is carefully worked out in the multitude of threads on AJ's subforum and MSM links thread. Believe me, anything I say that sounds like fact is backed up by one of those long explorations.
I'll list out the latest points covered in the court documents cited by the Virginian Pilot and other MSM here:
Wesley Hadsell charged with murdering his adopted daughter, A.J. Hadsell
1. Wes is charged with first-degree murder, second-degree felony murder and felony concealment of a dead body. The second degree is a fallback.
Consider what first degree murder charges mean. Virginia First Degree Murder Laws and Sentences - FindLaw
2. Wendy Gunther with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined she died from “homicidal violence". Forget everything you thought about AJ and heroin.
3. Video footage from a 7-Eleven near Little Creek Road – between A.J. Hadsell's home and the hotel where her father was staying – shows Wesley Hadsell's Astro van going past several times throughout the day.
4. Wes left a downtown Norfolk work site about noon that day, telling a co-worker he had to meet up with his daughter.
5. Just after 1:30 p.m., he texted his boss that he'd had to give his daughter money. He later told police he got an alert from the security system at the family home saying the door had been opened and closed between 1:40 and 2 p.m. We know that a few minutes after 2, AJ's little sister came home and found no one home and the laundry half-folded. I'll add to this that Wes
very likely knew when his daughter was due home from school.
6. Wes’ co-worker said he came back to the job site around 2 p.m., was
highly agitated, asked for the rest of the day off and left.
7. Wes told detectives he last saw AJ around 12:30 p.m. March 2 at a gas station on Tidewater Drive just north of Barraud Park, where he gave her $200. But police looked at the corresponding footage from the station’s surveillance cameras and found nothing.
This never happened.
8. LE later found a roll of duct tape, a shovel and gloves in the back of his van, which was tracked by GPS to the ditch AJ was found partially buried with shovel marks nearby. That duct tape is relevant or it wouldn't be mentioned.
Think about what is not being said and the fact they are charging him with 1st degree murder. Not manslaughter. Not just concealing a dead body. They have evidence that he murdered her.
AJ didn't toss her own credit card on the side of the road while going to meet Wes to pickup money.
Did Wes have the truck keys like he said he did? There is no evidence disclosed that he was there at 7am, or that AJ drove her truck anywhere that day. Witness statements are cloudy at best and not confirmed as the right day.
She didn't interrupt herself doing laundry.
She didn't go hang at his hotel that day or night voluntarily IMO. Her phone pinged in the hotel room, remember? They took so much evidence from that room, it will be surprising what they haven't yet disclosed IMO.
Wes put himself at the house. Now he says he got an alert that the door was opened around 1:40pm, and I am willing to bet that was him. Whatever he did appears to have happened between 12:30ish and 1:30ish - this was worked out in a lot of detail in a previous thread where we went over how long it would take him to get to and from the job site.
Combined with his van going back and forth and her phone pinging at the hotel, my conclusion is he took her from the house, stashed her dead or alive at the hotel room, stopped off at work, was highly agitated because he had her there, and left to finish up. I speculate he kept her there, because we know he doesn't bury her for two days. Not to mention his history with B&E, rape and abduction. I hope that clears up my previous assertion.
If a statement above sounds like an opinion, it probably is.
What is the motive??? Ugh
