That says it all doesn't it.

In the case of Jenise Wright, Bremerton, WA FBI had very rapid results w/dna to indicate sexual assault. This case has not unfolded (dna/sex assault data) as quickly so it leaves me wondering if there was in fact NO sexual assault (mercifully) in the case of Bella MOO

I can't imagine a S.A. determination taking this long either.

Either there was NO sexual assault or it was inconclusive - perhaps she had signs of previous SA therefore making a determination difficult. We have discussed this here before, but apparently methamphetamines sometimes makes it difficult for the user to 'preform'.

that's what I am thinking too...........

I wonder if this 'drug bust' is a way for LE to get them in custody so they may probe any possible involvement in the murder. There is certainly lots of precedent for those types of tactics.

How would that work; If Rector says he killed Bella while in a meth fueled rage, and the meth was supplied by the victim's parents. Is there a case precedent for this type of scenario?

Not that I'm aware of and not in the scenario you have mentioned.

I was speaking more of any *other* possible involvement. Police will use one crime to gain insight or a confession into another.

I understood what you were referring to (other). But if that is not the case, they may be able to use selling/supplying meth. Just thinking out loud : )

With all the community pressure and tips over the past month or so, I would think that LE has been trying very hard, at the VERY least, rule them out as complicit in the murder. LE has yet to state that no other charges against anyone have been ruled out. In fact, they keep saying that they AREN'T ruling out additional arrests...

This leads me to believe that they have been busy trying to connect the dots - especially with a potential death penalty case in the future. They MUST exhaust all potential avenues of defense so that the Prosecution's case is air tight against JJR.

Having a potential suspect in custody is a proven way to elicit more information... A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush... They have two birds in hand now!

This is the BEST news I've heard all day.

what the heck does his huge tattoo say?

 

[2Hope4]

Huge tatoo says Killafornia... I don't know if that's gang related or what.

No idea what the SB is really for...but I could come up with some ideas of what it'll mean now!

 

[margarita25]

Sigh.

Did Bella ever stand a chance in that house?

:banghead:

 

[margarita25]

I'm seeing it was a duplex...I can't remember if I knew that or not...I don't think so...

 

[jojo87]

Apparently these are old mugshots taken from file. Ralphys is one I've seen before and Tanias is said to be from 2013.
Wonder where new gf was while this was happening. Probably some kind of weird ruse to create sympathy for Tania, these people baffle me.
I'm guessing Justin has talked some to LE at least regarding who supplied his meth.
