Hmm, I'm noticing a distinct hesitation in the detective's responses surrounding SB's banking/credit card info, during the family press conference that I hadn't noticed before. In listening between the lines, he is offering up everything BUT the answer to the reporter's question. Take note of 'ReporterA' who seems to have latched onto the non-answer in regard to the credit card usage, and he seems to keep at it, but the detective doesn't budge.
So then if we pair the detective's refusal to answer the question directly regarding the credit cards (which I take to also mean bank cards), along with the MSM article wherein it states, "Family members have been distributing missing person posters and checking businesses in Inglewood that Burgess had stopped in prior to her disappearance." - I am really really wondering now if her credit/bank card(s) were used after JB says he last saw her at 12;30am Nov.27th.
If that is the case, then surely they must be able to obtain camera footage or an eye witness who would have seen *someone* using the card(s).
If that is the case, that would sure explain why there seems to be hesitance in accepting 100% that she disappeared due to unnatural causes. I really wonder what LE are up to in the background.
ReporterA:
What's the process, take me through it, credit cards I assume, phone records, that kind of stuff, just sort of take us through those steps you take.
Detective:
Absolutely. As you know, every person has a huge electronic footprint, so we look into cellphone records, bank records, uh medical records, anything like that, driving tickets, red light cameras, we'll go every which direction we can think of to find her and where she's at right now.
ReporterA:
No action on any of that stuff?
Detective:
Uh, uh, I don't really want to get into any of the details of the investigation right now, but the reason we're reaching out to the media is because we're hoping that with this media presence and with uh the publicity that somebody will know where she is and has seen her and can come forward with some information to help us in locating her.
ReporterA:
So you can't say for sure whether or not her credit cards have been used or her cellphone has been used since she disappeared?
Detective:
We have her cellphone.
ReporterA:
Okay
Detective:
Soo she's obviously not using her cellphone as we have it. Um family was more than cooperative in supplying that to us.
Diff Reporter:
So it's like day-by-day stuff left at her residence, like her purse, her cellphone, things like that?
Detective:
Yes, there were things at her house, but obviously we haven't inventoried her entire house. and we couldn't tell you exactly what all is missing, what's there, what's not there. Um, we do have some basics that we've started off with and we're running with those right now.
Another Diff Reporter:
Blah blah can't understand beginning part ... she was last seen on that day, there haven't been any calls, or emails, texts, nothing since she was last seen Friday?
Detective:
We haven't had any contact with her at all.
ReporterA:
And so the credit cards, you've checked those?
Detective:
We have.
ReporterA:
Have you been able to see whether there's been any action with them?
Detective:
We haven't seen any activity online or electronically. If there was, we'd certainly be pursuing that. Um all avenues are being looked at, uh certainly credit cards and banking information is one of the priorities we look at. As you know, if somebody uh decides to go off the grid intentionally, um they have to make plans and they have to have some money, so we're definitely looking at the banking
Diff Reporter:
If she has a vehicle, is it also missing or is it at her residence?
Detective:
No, we have the vehicle as well, it's parked in the driveway at the house.
