Canada - Terry, 27, & Hailey Blanchette, 2, Blairmore, AB, 14 Sept 2015 #2

[Jemska48]

Now this may be totally out of left field but I've been thinking about this theory a bit. What if DS did this to make a point and not only get back at CD (if he was in fact infatuated with her) but to "show" his parents/family? He used a company/family associated vehicle and Hailey was found on family property. What if DS parent were angry and upset with his pending charges and made some sort of comment about how "Terry turned his life around, why can't you?" Or something along those lines? It was well known around town that DS and TB didn't get along, maybe that could have triggered a "I'll show them" mentality. It doesn't explain why he would take Hailey's life, but he may have assumed that TB had already taken her up to CD and not expected her to be there. Just a thought I've been having. If DS isn't thinking clear because of drug use or a mental illness that could have been a good enough reason in his mind. I'm still not sure that I completely believe this either, but I do think that it had something to do with it.

I thought the mother was in the middle of moving. Seems to me that could be why they maybe didn't speak for a couple of days but in general they spoke "all the time".
I feel the rumors that went around immediately after the news of this broke are stuck in peoples minds and this mother just can't win with some.
Someone mentioned her being defensive? Of course, she was accused of a romantic relationship with the suspect before anyone even knew who the suspect was!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good friend of mine had a niece pass away just before the girl turned 20. It was a natural but sudden death. Reporters were ringing my friends phone off the hook and she was just the aunt. I cannot imagine how it would be for the mother or how it would have been if it was a murder! People are wondering why she spoke to them so soon? They were probably hounding her and if she didn't speak everyone would be saying "why is she so quiet???" This girl can't win. I feel absolutely terrible for her.

If CD is lying about a relationship with the suspect I am sure lips would be flapping even worse than they are now. I find it despicable how vicious some have been.

Perhaps the 9th was the last time they "talked". They may have texted since them. The reporter asked when was the last time they talked. It's a pet peeve of mine when people say I was talking to so and so, but they were actually texting. I always correct them and say no, you were texting not talking.

Either way, I don't see what the big deal is regarding these comments by CD. She was obviously in shock and your thoughts are not always clear in times of tragedy and crisis.

We saw from their FaceBooks that they kept in touch... commenting on each others photos. "All the time" doesn't have to mean every day.

She had probably been asked by RCMP when she last had contact with him... checked her phone and found it was the 9th. So the date was still in her mind.

Bingo. It is not unreasonable for there to be a fog-of-war here in the mother's statements. And there is no need to reference her statements at all, since we have a perp on hand and access to evidence at his end that will either draw her in or exclude her entirely. This includes any evidence - or delusion - of paternity. And for all we know, the perp was a hired gun. Again, the manner of mention of pedophiles by the father is not to be understated. It was as if he was defending himself. Defending himself from whom? Answer that and I think this case will solve itself.

I essentially have the same theory and posted it on here 3 days ago. After reading and listening to everything I can find since then, my theory hasn't changed.

"What if way back in the day when DS and CD were "close friends" as CD described it, DS hoped/wanted that it would lead to more than friends. Maybe he really wanted to be with her and had feelings, then TB entered the picture. TB & CD then had a child together. This would be a blow to DS and start resentment towards TB, whether he knew him or not. Over time DS spiralled downwards to petty crimes and possibly drugs. TB got his life together because of CD and NDB. DS resented this, and resented TB. Over time the anger and frustration grew as DS saw his life not turning out as hoped and the life that TB and CD had was something he wanted and felt that TB had "interfered" with. With an impending court date coming and possibly another trigger point (not sure what that might be), DS snapped. He had enough, felt sorry for himself, and blamed TB and HDB for him not being able to be with CD and for the way his life was going. Out of rage, felt that if only CD had wanted to be with him years ago things would be different and since it isn't, he would take away everything that CD loved to hurt her for the way she, unknowingly, hurt him in his mind.

I honestly don't think CD had any knowledge or anything to do with this in any way. I feel so much empathy for this young girl. I wish her godspeed through all of this.

I know this may be a bit far fetched, but I still somehow believe this was a "crime of passion" in some messed up way."

I have just been thinking the same thing... Doesn't make sense...

Sorry I meant to reply to post about no one calling the police in the middle of the night. Wish someone would have called it in sooner.

The initial Amber Alert stated that a white van was seen fleeing the scene westbound. Someone obviously saw the van leaving and didn't think twice about it until the murder scene was discovered. At that point the witness probably offered this information to the police who concluded that this was likely the suspect vehicle.

The rumours of Hailey's paternity are unhelpful and unfounded. No-one has suggested the anyone but Terry is Hailey's dad.

 

[Valleyboy]

Wonder if there were any defensive wounds on Terry or was he stabbed while sleeping.

where was J S prior to 3:00 AM

It was stated it is about a 5 hour drive from Edmonton

 

[andreww]

Let's just be clear on this, just because DS was seen leaving at 3:00 am, doesn't mean he showed up in the middle of the night. He could have been there all day for all we know.

And another thing, if Monday was Terry's day off, does that mean he had worked Sunday night? Or is the bar closed Sunday's?

Are you insinuating he was in Edmonton with CD? Don't think that's very likely.

I'm not sure if this means anything but the Funeral Home has started posting the details. For both Hailey and Terry they have the date of death is Sept 14, 2015. Hailey wasn't found till the 15 which I thought they usually listed the date when someone is found as the date of death. Does anyone know?

Not insinuating anything but he could have been for all we know.

I agree and think there's a good chance of that. I know it's been stated that Terry and DS didn't get along, but it's possible DS had been at Terry's for several hours.

Snipped for space.

So many thoeries obviously, but at this time I'm kind of thinking along the same lines as you Kingston - But I'll build upon it: you say a hired gun....could it be a "delusional" hired gun, as in the sense that the hired gun did what he did without really being convinced/asked to....??
Think of in the simplest terms: you and a co-worker are complaining about your boss, and each your rants get you more and more fuelled up (angry if you will). Thankfully most ppl don't carry out on that type of anger.
Is it possible that there are 2(or more?) individuals who despised/disliked (pick your word) TB and/or TBs current life that these individuals would "rant together" and fuel each others anger. And just maybe, just maybe one of the individuals was crazy/insane to do what occurred....and maybe without the other individuals knowledge....????

The perp is within the age range when serious psychotic illnesses typically first demonstrate themselves. If he was indeed a drug addict, the likelihood is multiplied. He could be delusional without any help, and he could be led by the hand to delusion. If he really did arrive in the van, in front of the scene - no matter how late - he would be insane to think he could get away any crime. Whether under the influence of passion, poison or both, it appears he was out of his mind.

IMO there's a big difference between a cook a tiny town pub/grill and an actual chef, the latter I could see having a knife collection - not the former.

Terry Blanchette was a cook, so he probably had quite a knife collection - probably very sharp knives. The weapon could easily be a convenient weapon found at the scene. Do we know that Terry was asleep at the time of the murder? Cooks sometimes work late hours, and sometimes they socialize after work. Do we know that Derek wasn't visiting Terry when the murder happened?

 

[Beesknees]

I hope, I honestly hope that if Cheyenne Dunbar is cleared from any role in this tragedy that a certain group of persons should be sued for the acts of difamation and unethically ways they are portraing her in SM. I too hope she can demand from them a public apology to have her good name cleaned. It is indecent the name calling, the breake of privacy and the acusations she is having.

I don't know if she is guilty of anything or not in the future but now she is innocent. We had no word from the LE that said she did wrong. So it's a disgrace what is happening.
I hope this is a lesson to learn. Avoid interviews, avoid being in the light, keep a low profile if tragedy strikes you or you/we all may be also the victims of these vultures fighting for a piece of our blood.

And all this during times of big loss and sorrow. Disgusting!

I an not sure TB was working Sunday night. Who watched Hailey while he was working? Maybe DS did, or a family member of his?

My personal theory is there is a connection with the murder of the elderly lady living next door to DS' grandparents. I would think that in a small community such as this, it would be very unusual for 3 murders to occur within the space of a few days. Possibly he didn't expect Terry to be home when he broke in.

For some reason, in these cases people seem to want to implicate the family. Remember the Tori Stafford case....everyone was convinced it was a family member. It was total strangers.
