GUILTY AR - Jersey Bridgeman, 6, raped & murdered, Bentonville, 20 Nov 2012 #1

[Storm65]

He must have confessed.

Yes, it kind of looks like that where its blacked out. Or perhaps he admitted to his wife that he did it.

 

[STEADFAST]

I was just going to comment on that. Maybe that is why I couldn't find anything on a BT. Not in Bentonville. Sounds like it might be an alias or he is trying to hide his true identity from DB. jmo

WAIT I just remembered one of his FB posts referred to 'his whole crouch family'.

His name is BTC. It's not an alias exactly because it's his first and middle name. I can't find anything even with his real first and last name except that he (or someone with his full name) graduated from Bentonville H.S.

Does anyone know if it was the camera man who was yelling, "Did you kill that child, Zach?" "Did you kill her?"

That was a reporter.

Zach Holly did not answer this question from @5NEWSLarry: "Did you kill that child?" http://lockerz.com/s/264919426

Man, all of this just brings up more questions.
Now, to me, it looks like perhaps ZH raped her while they were babysitting her, then perhaps later knew when she woke up, he would be busted, so he kidnapped her from the home and killed her.
If this is the case, I would love to know where his wife was during the rape. Perhaps she knew it happened at the time, and is working with the cops to save her own .
Also, I have driven by that house a few times. Its very very small. I still dont get how anyone could take a child from that house without the mom knowing about it...if she was really home.

Sigh...so many questions

 

[Dr. Know?]

I wonder if AHB & ZH had a key to DB's house since they babysat & were friends. Probably how he snuck in and grabbed Jersey. What a creep & then he cries? For himself...

From all the redactions it seems he confessed or wanted to change his story. Maybe his timeline didn't add up to what Amanda knew or what the EZ Mart video showed as a timeline and he was confronted.

Now we know why they wanted to search the EZ Mart shelves. I am so sick over this.

I would imagine the PD will ask for a change of venue.

I don't know. It kind of looks like he went back after everyone went to bed, kidnapped Jersey, took her to the empty house and assaulted her there and then killed her. Because a kid who has just been raped isn't going to be falling asleep anytime soon. Plus, that house was filled with kids and a wife. How was he supposed to be raping one child in that small house without anyone knowing?

I wonder if people lock their doors there. I don't here but then I live out in the boonies and have a big pit bull in the house.

I believe it all occurred in the vacant house. All of it.

Why did they search the shelves? Did he go there after the crime? I am sick over this too. So sad and unnecessary. tia

I know a little about how things work inside Benton County. ZH would be in segregation, not in general population. I dont think NH is supposed to have any contact with any other inmates, let alone be left alone with even a trusty. It looks to me like the trusty might have been left alone with ZH on purpose. Just my opinion.
Oh well, not losing any sleep over this. ZH better get use to this kind of thing.

with a bit of luck "IF" he is guilty.

Must be horrifying for DesaRae to think she went to the murderer himself for help when she couldn't find her daughter.

On another note, Mrs. Holly's jail record is pretty benign, now that it's been reported -- no vehicle insurance, some other driving thing I can't remember, failure to pay fines, hot checks, contempt. I guess hot checks aren't GOOD, but I was expecting drugs, at least, to be in there.

Well she did admit to at one time using drugs on her facebook.

Just by reading her facebook, personally, I dont think she was a very good candidate for babysitting.

He told them relatively early that he got up. They probably asked him what brand he bought and checked shelves to see if they sold that. I don't think they were finger printing or collecting evidence so much as just following through on statements, etc. Verifying. My guess anyway, since that statement was pretty early on.

eta, I can't find a live link on that site. Some articles are subscription and some are free about Jersey.

Posts to his now defunct FB from days prior about screwing up big time and losing his family into a whole new light. (or maybe back into an old light as I know some discussed this possibility early on)

Wife is babysitter, perhaps sexual abuse had started prior and this was simply his first opportunity to accomplish raping and murdering her.

If he helped get her home that night then he could easily have made sure his re entry point was unlocked and ready.

LOL! I didn't mean I don't think she's a stranger to drugs. I also did not care for the self-serving press release (er . . . "letter") her attorney published today.

Also, at 120 lbs (as reported) he could tiptoe around very quietly. And Jersey would just go with him, I think, if he asked her -- whether through friendship or through fear.

If any abuse occurred prior to the night Jersey was murdered, and Amanda knew about it without reporting it, I hope she is charged severely.

I try not to be blood thirsty in these cases but, man. Sometimes it feels that justice is not found in a court room. If this guy went out like Dahmer did, I would not shed a tear or lose a wink of sleep.
