While an active investigation I absolutely expect the mothers and LE to withhold sensitive information for the purpose of: there are things that only LE and the killers/kidnappers know, and by releasing that info it could muddy the waters and allow them to further escape. LE doesn’t want those responsible to know the actions they are taking behind the scenes.
On the flip side, releasing more information could trigger something in someone to speak out. This case is unique in the sense that we’re dealing with a very different social class than a typical murder in this town. I personally know half a dozen people who had run ins with MH leading up to his disappearance and I know for a fact 3 of them haven’t said a word to investigators. BUT most of the info I’ve heard via word of mouth has been discussed by others on here, (MH last sighting, incident at Silver Fox, a few others..)
The QA with Oliva on KGET put it into perspective: people have information that they don’t even realize could be relevant. It could be as small as “oh I saw this person with that person at a gas station..” whatever.
There are a lot of




eyed theories on here. I know I have been guilty of it. But at the end of the day, theoretically, they’re “possible” without knowing the facts. It would be nice if Bakersfield3 could confirm or deny the path were on with each one but I know they can’t. I’m sure their activity is being monitored just like everybody else. Lots of rabbit holes, but in a case like this, that’s expected. I think we can all agree the most obvious suspect is MQ. And if that’s not true, then all of us on here are off base in all background research. Would I be surprised if it wasn’t MQ? Yes and no. But he didn’t do himself any favors with his actions around this time. I still have deep reservations about JK being tied to BD and MH case, I personally feel like it’s a complete separate thing. Having the same friends isn’t enough evidence in this town in particular. This town is very unique on that front. But SH is the clear link, and that does interest me.
