Deceased/Not Found CO - Aarone Thompson, 4, Aurora, 2003 *A. Thompson guilty*

[AdoraBlue]

1. Isn't Eric Williams the father of one or some of Lowe's children? So, maybe one of his children was visiting him in jail and the child corroborated Lowe's story of Aarone's murder and the disposal of her broken, bloody, fragile body.

2. This is making me mad. I am thinking back to Aaron Thompson's initial story to LE. He reported it as a runaway, a lost child. A six-year-old does not run away. A six-year-old can go missing but they don't run away!! That is because the parents and/or adults who are charged with their care make sure they know there whereabouts at all times if they are out of their site for 5, 10, 15 minutes!!! I mean, if Thompson had said Aarone was abducted that might be a more plausible scenario, but the detectives collective hinky-meters probably would have still went way into the red zone.

Sorry for rant, but the more I read about this, the madder I get. :furious:

IMO, something very terrible happened to Aarone and, at the very least, her father is responsible because she was in his custody (legal or illegal, doesn't matter to me) at the time of her disappearance or death. If Ms. Lowe was in charge of looking after Aarone, then Mr. Thompson had given her consent, however implicit, and that implicates him. :furious:

I think he reported her runaway because when he reported an older daughter a runaway in the past, nobody really investigated. It seems like he just wanted to have a paper trail that the girl did run away. It would be interesting to hear his call to the police - they seemed to believe he was just trying to create a file at the time, and not necessarily have someone investigate.

Reading through this case it seems to me that Shely is the one who harms the kids. I don't know why men put up with that kind of nonsense for sex, but it looks to me that's what happened. Before Aaron met Shely, his children never seemed to have been abused (neglected, yes). Aarone's moms kids who all liked Aaron and don't have anything bad to say about him.

I can't imagine forgiving that, someone killing his child.

I agree, but his timing is suspect.

Again, I agree about the abuse seeming to be more attributable to Lowe.

I would like to know if Thompson was gainfully employed at the time he reported Aarone as a runaway or if he was just sponging off the state like/with Ms. Lowe. Remember the fake ID's? Sounds like a major scam game going on here to me.

I think I read on a post here that he was employed.

Did we get this one from Dec 6?

Prominent Denver attorney David Lane is going to represent Thompson and Lowe will be represented by Walter Gerash.

Gerash told CBS4 that he was outraged at information published by the Post deeming it as confidential documents.

"I think the police are doing what they should do. I think they should find out whether the child is missing or alive, and then determine whether it was done by criminal means," Gerash said.

He also pointed out that Williams is in jail for drugs and escape and said 'snitch testimony' is often not believed by a jury.

Here's an update from Channel 7 news in Denver

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/5490716/detail.html

AURORA, Colo. -- Aaron Thompson's attorney will be in court Thursday.


Thompson and his girlfriend Shely Lowe want to see the lead detective's notes on his daughter Aarone's case.


Thompson wants to know what his children told police when they were interviewed after being removed from the house on Kepner Place.


The couple claims that Aarone has been missing for several weeks.

Police believe she was killed more than a year ago and have labeled Thompson and Lowe as "persons of interest" in the case.

Didn't they already rule on that?

I thought that also, but the dateline and update is Dec. 8. I was under the impression that today's court date, if I'm not mistaken was a custody hearing.

 

[AdoraBlue]

Didn't they already rule on that?

Yes, but the ruling wasn't final. Thompson's original subpoena was thrown out because he didn't fill out the paperwork correctly, or something to that effect.

OK, I remember, the attorney didn't pay the fees. Was it Lowe's attorney that walked off the case, or his?

Just picked this up from channel 4 news in Denver:

http://cbs4denver.com/topstories/local_story_342080215.html
(CBS4) AURORA, Colo. A custody hearing was set for Thursday for the other children who were in the home of Aarone Thompson. The missing girl's grandfather will ask the court for custody of Aarone's brother, CBS4 has learned.

Aaron Thompson, Aarone's father, and his girlfriend, Shely Lowe, were expected to appear at the hearing Thursday.

Seven children were removed from the home a few days after Aarone was reported missing Nov. 14. Police later said they believed Aarone had died, perhaps as long as 18 months before she was reported missing.

Aaron Thompson and Lowe have been named persons of interest in the case.

The grandfather wants to ask the court to take Aaron Thompson, Jr. with him to Michigan.

You are right, they did just kick that request until fees were paid. I wonder if that may have been part of the reason that Lowe's attorney quit- maybe they weren't paying.

As far as the custody hearing, I hope that judge finds some reason not to give those kids to the grandparents.

Have you read something about the grandparents? I would think they'd be a better bet than tossing the dice with foster care.

Here's more info on Lane's and Garesh's representation of Thompson Lowe. Seems as if Lane only advised Thompson and is not his attorney. Garesh is only representing Lowe now. If she's charged, then she'll have to get a public defender. Garesh is on a pro-bono basis now.

One of my links talks about the Grandfather of Aaron, Jr. in court seeking custody of him. He wants to take him back to Michigan. That would be a big mistake in my opinion.

Too much pressure on him to change his story, and he'd be out of state and may be hidden. He needs to stay under the state's control and protection, IMO.

 

[mysteriew]

I agree with Barngoddess. T & L keep wanting the detective's notes to see what the kids have said. I think it could really make things difficult if the grandparents get the kids. Once they get them then threats could be made, attempts could be made to confuse them. And at this point grandparents are involved in the search, so how much tension would this put them under, even if the grandparent's didn't make attempts to change the stories.

 

[ShowerSinger]

Why didn't the "grandparents" care for/want the child sooner than this media attention on the case. Is this the same "father" of the homeless mother? I don't understand.

I haven't heard anything about Lynnette's father. The only fathers I have seen anything from has been L & T's fathers.

I don't see why they haven't arrested Lowe on the false id's they found. It would be one way to separate L & T.
Maybe they are using the 6 week post partum recovery period to do some investigation as to what she was using the ID's for.

Isn't the grandfather just asking for custody of the one boy...the bio brother of the missing little girl? I wonder whose father this grandfather is...the dad's father or the father of the mother who lives in a shelter? If he is the father of the mother who lives in the shelter the little boy would probably be alright. He wouldn't live around his dad so the dad wouldn't be able to get to him. Also, this grandfather might just suspect the father of murdering his grandaughter.

I believe it is the father's father. The mother grew up in foster care.
