In a relatively short period of time too. MOO
I’ve wondered why they aren’t doing this as have many others. Perhaps they are so disgusted with what has happened they don’t want to beg and plead for him because they don’t want to send a message of approval and support to him? I can imagine being pissed the heck off at my son if he ever did such a horrible thing and/or lied to me and created a hell storm outside of my house and neighborhood with media digging through every facet of my life.
Snipped for focused reply and BBM.
I don't want to think about it, but possibly scattered remains.
Or, maybe they are being advised against doing this. I can imagine the public outcry if they pleaded for their son when they said nothing when GP was missing. At this point, they can't do anything right by the public or GP's family. Or maybe LE thinks he's hiding and unstable and their pleads might push him over the edge. Who knows.
That's not how it works. The FBI may keep some things such as evidence hush-hush, but they always announce when someone is in custody, or if a fugitive is found deceased. It would not be ethical to keep that a secret.
I understand that. And certainly the Laundrie family/reps have shown great skill in cagey answers. I was simply responding to someone saying "maybe he was off his meds" by stating the only thing, afaik, that we know about his possibly being on any, particularly if the type that would have you acting strangely if you ran out.
Really? I think he'd stick out like a sore thumb. I think a saving grace may be if he is fluent in Spanish, which we do not know. But, if he is this may give some people pause to second guess themselves (i.e. "Nah, this guy must have been here for awhile.") MOO
I really don't usually get into the tiny nits of conversations in looking at true crime stuff - people speak so casually that minor oddities rarely mean much. And that goes doubly so of a reported (not recorded) conversation given by a person who finds himself suddenly answering press calls and giving interviews in a high-profile homicide/ fugitive situation.
That said, this guy says he said to "BL" that he could take I-40 to California, and that "BL" said (paraphrasing from memory except the bolded and beyond), "I'm just going to take this road into California."
"Into" is not how anyone refers to going to a state (exception - maybe occasionally, when referring to going to a neighboring state to do a specific activity, to distinguish from doing it in your state); we say "to" x state.
However, we quite often say "into" with respect to towns or cities.
This may be a regionalism (It certainly exists in Southern parlance. I had a bf once who thought it was amusing once when he called me at home and my (Southern) father said I'd "gone into town.". My parents used that phrasing all the time, despite our living in a medium-populated area of sprawl with many towns running one into another; the colloquialism was from my father's upbringing in a small town with one main shopping drag, aka, grocery store, bank, etc.)
Following on that line, the phrasing would make more sense, too, then, if "BL" were actually a local boy, with the Southern /rural phrasing.
But again, the conversation is retold by a person who seems kind of amped up (understandably) by the encounter, so I don't put much on it at all.
In other news, that engineer guy's pic looks like half the men suggested to me on dating apps.
