2010.06.29 -- LE says TH not POI nor suspect

[kbl8201]

Why not? Who else do you think was involved?

zanny the nanny

THANK YOU for noticing with me BeanE.

Now isn't this an entirely different statement than has ever been made? And it's not qualified. I mean, it's a non-qualified statement saying this one parent is NOT a POI or suspect.

How can they say that (unequivocally) in a statement to the AP? Is Lindstrom accurately quoted?

I have to wonder - Has Terri Horman been cleared?

I think the two different media accounts of the direct statement mean that one media source (not sure which one) got it wrong.

BeanE just posted this in the media thread... has different official quote from LE/wording. ((fwiw... this is what I am thinking was said to begin with))

The Multonmah County Sheriff's Office would not discuss Kaine Horman's decision to file for divorce and seek an order of protection. "It's a personal matter between family members and we don't get involved in those," sheriff spokeswoman Lt. Mary Lindstrand said. "Nothing has changed in the investigation. It's still ongoing. No persons of interest or suspects have been named at this time."http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/06/29/oregon.missing.boy/index.html?section=cnn_latest

Thanks. How interesting. How frustrating.

This is a completely different quote. This quote doesn't even mention Teri Horman by name.

Okay. So we have conflicts of quotations.

I'm really sick of this irresponsible reporting from major media outlets.

WHAT THE HECK did Mary Lindstrom really say to the press?

IMHO...Lt. Mary Lindstrand stating:"Nothing has changed in the investigation. It's still ongoing. No persons of interest or suspects have been named at this time." indicates to me they do have a person of interest and a suspect...They just haven't named the person yet...JMO

Maybe the police uncovered some sort of infidelity that didn't have anything to do with Kyron and told his dad about it?

I know. It's a stretch.

I've wondered that about the cell pings. Perhaps they had nothing to do with Kyron?

We need to know if this was one statement caught in a whisper down the lane, or if it was two separate statements (two news organizations).

Look out Portland. Emma's got a plane ticket and she's gonna come whip some sloppy reporting arse.

grrrrrrrrrrrr... :cursing:

zanny the nanny

O/T: She's useful, I must admit. My mum now blames everything on Zanny - breaking her diet? Zanny made her! Forgot to mail something? Zanny said she would and let her down. As my mum ages, I feel Zanny will be at fault for more and more as time goes on.

Yep. Definitely useful.

 

[BeanE]

I don't mean to be rude here -- but have some of you ever followed other cases similar to this one? They NEVER name a POI or suspect until they have enough evidence to back up their theory.

No. No one else has ever followed a case. :waitasec:

ironically in some downtime yesterday i was reading old cases on the truecrime site.....jon benet and lindy chamberlin (the dingo stole my baby case) and it was talking about how inaccurate press reports lead to unfair trials ect

i guess some things never change

I don't know how much more clear it can be than this:

"Nothing has changed in the investigation. It's still ongoing. No persons of interest or suspects have been named at this time."

Lindstrand is saying that they have not named a POI or suspect. She's certainly not saying that Terri is not a suspect.

Direct quotations carry more weight than paraphrased ones. Paraphrased quotations are filtered through the reporter who does the paraphrasing.

Hear hear!

All paraphrasing or translation is interpretation.

I'm still getting alerts about posters being rude to each other. This is it.

KNOCK IT OFF!!!​

The mods can't be here 24/7 and will be forced to start issuing Tme Outs from now on. If you have a post that is snide or rude I suggest you go back and edit it now.

ROFL heh

 

[BeanE]

Somebody needs to contact the reporter who first it reported last night that Lt. Mary said:

"Terri Horman is neither a person of interest nor a suspect."

I'm too lazy to look it up and see who was first.

Law Enforcement can lie as much as they want. They can lock two people in different cells, and tell one the other is saying A, B, and C in hopes that they will confess.

I don't understand why there is a mental block here in understanding that TH is the POI, Suspect, etc?

How much more common sense evidence is needed here?

Add to the mix this:

The judge sealed the restraining order to prevent it from compromising the investigation into Kyron's disappearance, according to the clerk in Judge Keith Meisenheimer's office. LINK

What about the word "or" after interest though? Does that word "or" mean something? Seems like a weird place to use the word "or" -- Has she been cleared?

Actually, I disagree. And back atcha - could ask the same of you, I suppose.

We can rely on formal police statements. They don't trick people with formal public police statements, formal pressers, etc. That's just not done.

Like the idea that a body's been found but they're just hiding that little fact. Just not done.

Leaks, unnamed police sources, stuff like that - could be LE misinformation/investigation game playing strategy fooling time.

But not formal pressers & police statements to the press.

Now if we could just rely on the press to accurately quote those formal statements. That would help.

It was NEVER in quotations. I read that article and there was a quote from Lindstrom (sp?) but the part about Terri Horman not being a suspect or POI was not a direct quote. People here just started saying that it was.

I've been saying this all morning, but finally others are bringing this to light.

How is LE "tricking" people here? By saying they don't have a person of interest?
