They don't do this because it may not be completely legal from a prosecutorial stand point.<modsnip> The way prosecutions are supposed to work is they identify a crime, and based on the evidence determine probable cause to obtain a warrant. That warrant leads to more evidence that leads to the...

Thinking about why dad would get access to a phone with such critical evidence on it... So close to the events, police would need a warrant to access phone data. However, perhaps dad could have accessed it without the warrant, so they leaned on him to open it and review texts. "Mr. Goncalves...

That doesn't mean Kaylee couldn't have texted someone to the effect " so-and-so, something is going on with you. you've changed every since you started hanging with so-and-so". don't necessarily have to have the other person's phone to know that Kaylee possibly called out someone specific's...

Your afterparty thought has me thinking.. Even if an argument didn't happen, some party drugs can cause hallucinations. I've had my experiences with hallucinogens. Some trips are so serious that the person has no connection to reality, only what the drugs are making their mind see.

As sickening as this sounds, there will be some media outlet that will look to pay these girls for their story. Media is going to spin it as them respecting their privacy, but make no mistake about it, there's a young hungry reporter out there looking to make a name for themselves and will offer...

My first thoughts are this looks like what happens if something were to drip from the counter top. I'm a bit of a messy cook and have seen this before when spilling sauce on the counter. Judging by some of the other photos, tidiness doesn't appear to be a high priority for anyone living in the...

That is a fair point. I guess it's important to distinguish with the term "Expertise". I viewed expertise as someone proficient in killing humans, i.e. serial killer, trained military, etc. The proficiency in taking large game does have some correllation as you mentioned. Most hunters when they...

IMO, not necessarily. If most were in bed sleeping, a sharp knife to the throat works in the killers favor for several reasons. It's a relatively quick death; 30-60 seconds by some estimates. Secondly, it's also relatively quiet if the cut is deep enough to sever vocal chords, trachea, and...

These aren't general issued weapons, there's no "inventory" with this like there are with rifles. Spent 5 years in the Marine Corps. The two Ka-bars I have were just purchased on my own.

Not to mince words too much, but you're correct on the the serrated edge, but the sharp edge along the spine (top side) of the blade stops a little more than 2" from the tip of the blade. The full spine is roughly .165" thick and is flat.

It's pretty obvious that the aliens that threw her into the creek. Scared out of his mind, he ran in the van on a cross country Bandit Run, stopping only to withdraw $1000 to spend on alien repellant. The mothership chased him to FL and then abducted him on or around the 13th. Lawyer is in...

Two things here. 1, what jury would think a grown man as a victim when his girlfriend is the one dead. Better have witnesses and video evidence, and even then it's a long shot to get total exoneration. 2. SB isn't concerned with the optics regarding his client. Only what can and cannot be proven...

Some murders can be very quiet. A rock to the dome in the middle of nowhere would produce no witnesses. Strangulations in the middle of a dry creek bed would only be heard by those relatively close by. I'm speculating, but I think the cause of death doesn't definitively tie BL to the crime...

The longer this goes, and the bigger it becomes, it is your sentiment that a good defense attorney will admire when it comes time for trial. Any exposure to the case and the "facts" as seen on TV or online makes for a potential mis-trial, or acquital. Nevermind finding people for the jury that...

With GPS location shared on a phone, FTC documents that I've read can put it within feet. Triangulation pinging can get within a small geographical area. Quick Aside: With my job, we hire truckers to haul freight for us. One requirement we have of the drivers is that they download and share...
