As per moderators request i don't think we are allowed to discuss any drug cartel involvement in this case, because it has never been found to be the case by LE.
But you could check that with a mod. if you want.
Perhaps MM was just going through all kinds of horrible scenarios in his mind not knowing what happened to his brother and family? The longer they were missing i think it certainly would be in your thoughts as to worse case scenario, if there was no contact from them IMO.
I agree. MM was just trying to think of why his family was missing.
I'm sure he tossed around every idea he could think of at the time to possibly explain why all four had disappeared.
It's common for in laws to have tifts with each other at times about things they dont agree on. I found Mike's disagreement with Summer a trivial tift. Much ado about nothing. They would have worked it out, but were never given a chance.
No way, no how would MM have the raw rage, and hatred it took to murder all four of his family, including murdering his two little nephews.
I really detest the defense stooped so low as to imply MM may have murdered them. I think the jury will be incensed as well.
I'm also glad judge Smith made it clear there is no evidence MM committed these murders.
Plus I thought the defense is DK is the one? What it shows is all they can do is sling mud.
This defense is very typical. It isn't as they promised in their build up in OS. They haven't put forth one piece of evidence or witness that disproves the state's case. Thus far all they have done is try lamely to distract.
Missy said she remembers posters said finding shallow graves with dead bodies in the desert wasn't common. I recall it much differently. There was much discussion at the time, how it is common for the desert to be an area where bodies are found in shallow graves.
Iirc news articles were linked showing other victims who had been found in shallow graves in the desert. A common dumping ground where murderers place the bodies. These jurors know that as well, imo.
Most murders who buried their victims did bury them in shallow graves. Due to ground soil, not only in the desert, but other areas of the country as well, often makes it difficult to dig a six by six foot deep hole, plus it takes a lot of time.
And that is enough for one body to be concealed. Here CM had four so he dug two shallow graves. This saved him having to dig deep, and wide holes, and it also was much quicker, and we know how CM likes to cut corners.
I do understand travelbug believing this trial will not end in a unanimous verdict.
Then I reflected back to the other trials I have followed, and realized that is commonly said on all of them. Just like some seem to commonly believe the state hasn't proven the case, or the defendant is innocent, no matter who's trial was being held.
So in the end what we may or may not believe in any case, has no bearing on what the juries believed, since 99.8 end in a unanimous verdict, one way or the other. Our thought, and opinions, simply isnt representative of how any verdict will end.

Maline showed Mike his cell records but of course, they didn't have cell tower info or they were never analyzed or maybe they never got a detailed Call record?
