I’ve almost finished Sheryl’s season of SKS and there are a couple of things I’d like to draw attention to.
Gerald Sheryl’s neighbour at 851 Queenston Rd condos. When he describes how he saw Mike almost strangling Sheryl one day he gets quite graphic. He seems to forget that he told police he didn’t remember what date he saw Mike with the bags.
Talking about the bags, if Mike was getting rid of her clothing would he really have used bags that could be see through, and would he have hung around for a chat with Sheryl’s neighbour? Gerald says Mike told him Sheryl was ill. Mike did tell a few people different excuses as to what Sheryl was doing, but Gerald I think is the only one who says Mike said she was ill.
Gerald says he always parked his limos at Tim Hortons, Sheryl worked at one on Sanford and Cannon. Limos are long cars but the Tim Hortons parking lot isn’t very big if you look it up on Google Streetview. One of Sheryl’s work colleagues said Mike always sat at a window and that he was there most of the time that Sheryl worked there.
Would Mike have been looking out for Gerald and his limos? Was Gerald causing Mike to feel paranoid or something? IF Mike was telling the truth and he did drop her off at the alley, could Gerald be the ‘friend’ Sheryl was going to see?
One more thing, Gerald says the spots on the wall was Coca Cola, and that the police told him this. Yet the police never divulged that info to Odette, and neither did Gerald. Why would they tell him and not tell Odette, and how come he kept that to himself and didn’t tell Odette?
If Gerald was the ‘friend’, could he have met her in the alley, had a few drinks with her, went back to her condo, Sheryl has listened to and erased the phone messages, someone spilled some coke and somehow Gerald and Sheryl start fighting?
Odette says their condo was on the seventh floor. Those condos have balconies. Just an observation. The seventh floor is very high up.
One last thing, Mike lived in Sheryl and Odettes condo for about 6 months according to Odette. Gerald says that after he saw Mike trying to strangle Sheryl Mike left, then Gerald says something about he didn’t know if Mike had a key. The podcaster never asked Gerald if he thought Mike might have a key. So Gerald is trying to say he didn’t know Mike was living there? Also Gerald quips “I could have done it” and gives a little chuckle, meaning that he could have lifted Sheryl by the neck with one hand, just as he said that he saw Mike doing it.
That was a very strange interview. Perhaps the detectives should be asking Gerald which officer told him it was Coke on the walls? And perhaps all the officers who entered the condo should be interviewed to find out if any of them did actually tell Gerald it was coke, also was it coke? If Gerald is correct and it was coke could Gerald have implicated himself?
