Here is a link to the National Post with the details of the newsconference.

Did I read somewhere that it was Mike White who called 911 after Liana was found? I would love to hear that call or read the transcript if someone comes across it.

This reminds me of Scott's prophecy "I lost my wife" weeks before Laci went missing.

Mike says "I will find you" during his empassioned plea to the media. :doh:

He left her truck where the body was found !! Duh !! How in the world was he going to explain to the police where his truck had gone ?

 

[FacTink]

Hmmm... maybe the truck wasn't registered to anyone, or the IDs were already off of it? OR maybe he figured he would wait until the heat died down then go get it? OR maybe he would go explode it at a later point in time? Sloppy work...obviously no pro, then again...what happened in the military. That will be interesting to learn. Anyone hear anything on this yet?

I dont understand..he left her truck where the body was found? Do you mean the explorer?

I feel terrible for her - she struggled and i always hope the person didnt know it was even happening..
I cant see how it wasnt planned if she struggled..I mean at some point it seems to me she would be begging for her life-to me it becomes planned right then and there.

>>Apparently body was quite decomposed.<<

What have the temps been in Edmonton between the 12th and the 19th? That is not a long time for a body to decompose unless it has been very hot?

Hi FacTink:

I live in Calgary...2 hours from Edmonton and the weather has been quite warm over the last week...not extremely hot but nice warm temps....75 - 80%...with the exception of the weekend which was cooler on Sat, July 16...when we had a little wind and rain....

Be wary of baldheaded men - especially if your name starts with an L.....

I'm wondering what the "indiginity to the body" means. I wonder if he partially dismembered her. Ugh, awful to think about. God Bless her and the baby. I hope this creep gets life without.

I am still puzzled by this too - it has to be something bigger than just moving the body-it has been suggested she was burned-if so that explains why she was so decomposed (or is a week enough to destroy all paths to cause of death)..
They know there were signs of a struggle but not when or how she died-doesnt make sense to me?
I suppose he could have beheaded her and the head is missing- if he were to have shot her..that type of thing-but we will have to wait and see- I hunch it will be sealed till the court proceedings begin.

Scott, I can handle... but if there's a Jackie up here ~ I'm leaving! :snooty:

You can come stay with me for awhile Cass....

I had a dream about you last night, that I ran into you at a mall. The only reason I knew it was you was because you were wearing a shirt that said "Casshew". You were bubbly and sweet and wearing bright blue sparkly eye-shadow.

 

[FacTink]

Sure seems to me that UNLESS the extra charge (committing an indignity to a body) explains "why" they can't account for the cause of death at this point, that there would be some evidence.

PS. Thanks JOArc for the notes on the temps. How is the weather at night?

 

[Jess]

The truck was registered to Michael White. He left it NW of the city where the body was found.stupid thing to do, but that is what he did.
The weather up here has not been exceptionally hot. In fact Friday was quite cool. We've had some good rainstorms and showers.
Some media are saying she was identified by dental records .
Alta can correct me if I am wrong, but indignity to a dead body means he left her out in the ditch by the farmer's field.That's it for this case-- he left the body in a field, period. Nothing else was mentioned or hinted at. I believe that is what Det. Campeau said.--"he left the body."

 

[newtv]

I don't think we do. We murder babies every day here, by abortion.

please leave that out of this-we are talking about a woman who has been murdered with child - the rest is an attempt at making this thread what it isnt about..
It might be a good time to make an effort to change that law but lets keep it to this case. You can start a thread on the rest of it elsewhere if you want to provoke that conversation/debate.

 

[Alta]

I am thinking she may have been burned as they said she had to be identified through dental records.

 

[Jess]

Detective Campeau was quite clear, I thought, that it was because of decomposition , that made it necessary to use dental records. He also said she was not fully clothed. Doesn't sound burned to me.

Jess are you saying there is another vehicle besides the explorer involved and that it is a vehicle that was at the crime scene and he thought no one knew he had that vehicle..or he was just too stupid to think they would want to know about a second vehicle.?

Just a general comment..I am so sick of men killing their wives because they have financial problems - I dont know anyone who doesnt consider they have finanacial concerns-struggles etc- even the wealthy ones.
Financial fears and struggles are a part of most peoples lives-what makes it an issue to kill over..further when u cant manage finances to the point where u would kill for more money, I hunch that its just a matter of time before that insurance money is used up too-then u once again have the same struggles...I mean if u dont clean up the underlying problem behind financial chaos then its never going to be differnt..no amount of money will ever be enough.
I also dont get why the body is decomposed to that extent..is that normal?
Thats the only thng that makes me wonder if he did anything to make the cause of death impossible to determine.

Thanks Jess for all the hard work u have done and keeping eberyone alerted. I was too busy to even catch the news so I will try to watch later.

 

[FacTink]

I believe that is what Det. Campeau said.--"he left the body." Yes...and only partially clothed? I'll bet there is more...to this indignity thing, they may be keeping some of it quiet. SOMEONE found the body...so somone knows.

Also...if he left that truck, how did he get back home - how far away was it from the house? Could he have walked home and not left the baby there for too long? Did he hitch a ride with someone? Did he have a friend come get him? If so...did that friend talk? Hmmm...or not talk?

Felony child endangerment? I'm with some of you, wish they could pile some more charges on.

[joanofarc]

Signs of a struggle might mean bruising, right?

If so, they must have been able to determine this from her body...I also have an inkling he may have set her on fire to make it look like it was work of the "serial" killer in Edmonton . If set on fire she may not have completely burned but enough to make it not easy to readily identify her....therefore the need for LE to have to access her dental records...

I am wondering what the half clothed thing is all about?? I mean why would he do that-usually when u know the person u want them to be covered..unless he was trying to stage a rape scene.

I agree-get him on everything.
He must have left the truck there because it had evidence in it.
Why else would he?
Unless he figured they would check the tires and find field dirt etc.

That is exactly what he was doing I bet...trying to make it look like the perp was a sexual offender...IMO
