FWIW, it is driving me crazy (I know I'm already crazy) but Jessica Ridgeway's mom's name is Sarah, not Jessica....

From reading on other cases like the McCann case and Baby Lisa's, it takes time for a deceased body to produce enough decomposition chemical that a dog can detect as well as additional time ex. holding a decease person for transfer to be detectable. In the link below there was a test done on two bodies that we dead for two hours, then placed on carpet tiles it took 2 to 10 minutes for transfer to happen. So IF something happened and it happened quickly, I don't know if there would be transfer in the truck or on MR.

these are the two similar cases that disturb me. it's quite obvious what happened, but no charges or arrests have ever been brought. makes me worry that this will happen here too. of course, it's not over til it's over.

Thanks , i was just wondering if they left it to long then he could of plausibly washed his cloths. Kind of like i always wonder if they got prints off the bowl left out and tv remote or if the week delay meant anything tangible was lost .

And what about the 'nerf football?' Wouldn't that have his prints? Or was that gone too? [ then again it may have been leftover from Labor Day weekend visit.]

 

[katydid23]

Do you mean tied to forensics? What could be that damning but not enough to build a case?

One possible scenario might be if they could not find any fresh prints of Dylans on the tv remote or the cereal box. That would be kind of damning because it mighrt conflict with Dad's story, but they could not build a case on that alone/

As of right now the post was 13 hours ago.

ugh. still can't find it.
I see 2 hours ago, 5 hours ago, and yesterday.

weird that the two Georgia boys found in TX with their dad were playing with a nerf football. not weird - uncommon. just weird - coincidental.

Last I checked there were 80+ comments on that post I think. You have to click on the area to the right to show previous comments.

Oh, I see and good point, I just couldn't imagine what it could be. Thanks!

And in Scott Peterson's case, cadaver dog only indicated a mild interest and not a full alert. There was very little physical evidence in that case. If Laci's body never floated up, I don't think Scott Peterson would be sitting on death row.

"One of the prosecution's star witnesses may never utter a word. On December 27 investigators brought in a "cadaver dog" named Twist to inspect Scott Peterson's boat and the warehouse in which he stored it. Cadaver dogs are trained to detect the odor of decomposing bodies. During his tour of the premises Twist showed "mild interest" when positioned in the boat and some "interest" when allowed to sniff around some containers in the front of the warehouse, according to an excerpt from the handler's report. The defense pounced on the fact that Twist did not display "full alert," while the prosecution has maintained that the dog detected something but was confused by the heavy chemical smells in the warehouse, which held supplies for Peterson's fertilizer business."

The discussion today about the searches on Florida Rd just reinforces one glaring fact for me - if LE truly believed Dylan may have been abducted, why focus over 200 searchers in the direction opposite where he would have been walking/hitchhiking? And why not be calling PC's & doing everything humanly possible to get Dylan's face blanketing the countryside from coast-to-coast?

IMO, LE's actions speak much louder than their words.

Then why haven't they named MR at least a POI?

 

[katydid23]

LE should have been able to get the receipt from Walmart and found the list of groceries. And then they should have been able to find Dylans' prints on the cereal box or the bag of chips or the OJ carton or the refrigerator door or somewhere like that. I wonder if they did.

I listed two examples in the post. I'm not saying they would have things SO damning it's beyond a shadow of a doubt proof- but I do expect there to be some forensics that don't line up along the way if he's guilty. That's all.

Hey Maybe he is!
They just have not told the public?

LE dosent have to tell us.

One more thing, I do believe LE would tell us if they ruled him out!

 

[katydid23]

There is an article that is linked in ther last thread explaining that LE rarely names POIS anymore, for legal and investigative reasons.

 

[PaulR]

And if he is a POI, why did they let him search for evidence with the risk of him contaminating it?

 

[Eileen730]

Has Dad gone back to work?

 

[Eileen730]

And if he is a POI, why did they let him search for evidence with the risk of him contaminating it?

As I see it they wanted him there I also think they have an inkling of where Dylan is and are ruleing out these other places.

I do agree with this. If they have the person nearby, helping, and involved- they have no need to label them anything. POI is normally named only when they need the public's help finding or identifying an individual IME.

 

[StJohn]

Very very good point!! I always say pay very close attention to what LE does and doesn't do. They can't tell us everything but often times we can figure it out based on their actions.

Then why haven't they named MR at least a POI?

They don't seem to always immediately name someone a POI, even when their actions suggest that to be the case. Scott Peterson is one that comes to mind. But we may not know the reason until & if an arrest is made.

 

[scorekeeper]

And if he is a POI, why did they let him search for evidence with the risk of him contaminating it?

I can't recall the name of the recent little girl (she had the hearing loss) that was killed by her neighbor; he was involved with her search and I think LE had him in their sights from the get-go.

I'm so sorry I can't remember her name or state she was in...
