GUILTY FL - Cherish Perrywinkle, 8, Jacksonville, 21 June 2013 #3

[vasportsmom]

Anyway, the most chilling thing I read was Rayne repeatedly telling the police that DS was going to rape and murder her daughter. I'm sure that when a child is kidnapped by a stranger, the parent fears this very thing the most; however, Rayne knew who Cherish was with, she knew where they were supposed to be going, she trusted him enough to dump her three young daughters into his no-backseat-having van and enough to give him permission to take Cherish off alone. If your new friend went to McDonald's and didn't return when he was supposed to, wouldn't you first think either they got lost or they got into an accident, maybe got a flat tire? Why did she immediately go to "rape and murder"?? She told the police she was a psychic and she told the police that DS was going to rape and murder her daughter. Well, I think she knew that not because of her psychic abilities, but because she knew who DS was and what DS does.

SBM.

Most parents are completely unwilling to voice the fear that their child may be dead. It may be at the forefront of their thoughts but speaking it makes it more real so they refuse to acknowledge the possibility. So why did RP go there so quickly and effortlessly? It was far more likely that a misunderstanding or accident had occurred. If RP was psychic she should have known what DS was and if she knew what he was then it didn't take a psychic to know that sending a young child off with him put that child in grave danger. It's much the same as her "I knew that man was creepy but I let him take my child on a fast food run alone anyway." Or "I had talked to Cherish about stranger danger so she should have known better than going with the man that I told her to go with." Her circular logic makes my head hurt. The way she failed Cherish makes my heart hurt.

I hope Rayne doesn't use a "personality disorder" as a reason for her allowing her daughter to go off with him. That would be an insult to people like myself who live daily with Personality Disorders and who strive to bring their children up in safe, clean, healthy households with manners, values and perspective. There isn't a snowflake's chance in hell that I would allow one of my daughters to go off with a strange man we'd just met. In fact because I tend to think like a teenager a lot of the time my mind would be screaming "STRANGER DANGER!"

I also don't believe that she didn't realise Cherish had gone with him, there was a considerable period of time between them going off for burgers and Rayne "realising" Cherish wasn't there. Where the heck did she think her 8 year old was, as she was trailing her two babies around Walmart at that time of night?

The way she failed Cherish makes my heart hurt.

Over the course of the past few months I've become fluent in Rayne-speak, and her utterances that night absolutely cement in my mind that she knew DS before that evening. Rayne is the type that thinks she is smarter than everyone else. Rayne is clearly trying to conceal her prior friendship with DS, which is where she became familiar with what crimes he had spent time in prison for. When they do find Cherish the police are going to want to know how she was so sure so early on that her daughter was going to be raped and murdered, so Rayne throws in that caveat that she's a psychic.

Blef, read the original 911 dispatch report. Rayne told the 911 operator that she gave permission for Cherish to go with DS, she knew exactly what time they left and how long they'd been gone. Only when she started to catch wind of the public's venom toward her and when she wasn't the sympathetic martyr she had envisioned she'd become did her story start evolving.

Donald Smith, 56, appeared for a pretrial hearing. Two pretrial court dates has scheduled for December 3 and 16.

I can only add....has scheduled? My inner grammar nazi is all :scared:

 

[Magdalyn]

A decision from Smith's lawyer on what materials he will seek to keep from the media is still being weighed.

This! I have believed from the beginning that the momster & the monster were not strangers that crossed paths purely by accident. IMO, RP knew that if Cherish went on the scheduled visit with her father it would be the end for her. She wasn't going to risk losing all her "little pay checks" so she cut her losses and Cherish paid the price.

I feel pretty hopeful that she will never get access to the other children again but I'm willing to bet that much like Lena (Lunsford, WV) she will keep popping out more babies (and hopefully losing custody just as quickly). She belongs in a cell right beside the devil she gave Cherish to.

The one good thing here- she's getting on up there as far as reproductive age. Maybe she won't have any more... God willing.

I hope you're right. No matter how you look at this it is clear that RP does not have even the most basic necessary skills to raise a child. She lacks the things that can't be taught. A lifetime of parenting classes won't change the fact that a child will never be safe in her care.

You aren't forgotten sweet girl. Justice is coming!

The State Attorney's office releases hundreds of photos taken by Jacksonville Sheriff's Office crime scene technicians the day Cherish Perrywinkle's body was found and Donald Smith was arrested. Here is a sampling.

 

[Magdalyn]

There is a photo of a chunk of asphalt, and beneath the photo it states Cherish was found face down in the water, under a log, and weighted down with pieces of asphalt.

I found his 'alibi' to be....ahem, interesting.

When Smith's van was stopped on Interstate 95 at about the same time that morning, he was still wet, had mud on his shoes and was covered with scratches. He told officers he didn't know Cherish, that he’d been smoking crack with prostitutes all night.

Two separate phone calls with Smith's mother were included in the evidence.

 

[Magdalyn]

Smith's mother, Patricia Moore, can be heard telling investigators in that case, "I don't know if you've gone back into his record, but .... he has never touched a child. He's never around children. Children are not, like, his thing."

"This person's intention probably, by putting the body in water or near water, was in hopes that the water would wash away some of the evidence that was on her body that he left there after he sexually assaulted her and murdered her," said Channel 4's Crime Analyst Ken Jefferson.

His plan didn't work. The medical examiner said Smith’s DNA was found on her body, and the profile shows the likelihood the DNA came from anyone other than Smith is 35-quintillion-to-1.

Pic # 4 (of 24) at this link of the new pictures released today says "Cherish had disappeared the night before after police say 8-year-old Cherish Perrywinkle went with Donald Smith to get food at the McDonald's at Walmart and never returned. Smith, who had taken the Perrywinkle family there to go shopping, was buying rope.

Did we know this before? I never heard that aspect before. I feel so bad for Cherish's father who has to deal with hearing about things like this. I know it must have him so devastated to hear details of how his young lady (as her Daddy called her) suffered at the hands of this monster that her mom handed her over too.

 

[Magdalyn]

Those witnesses also say they heard Smith say “We’re going to get cheeseburgers!” while in the parking lot.

Police spoke with Smith’s mother at the home they shared, and she told investigators her son is “addicted to crack cocaine” and that she had even gone with him to clear a $150 debt with a drug dealer. She says on the night in question he told her he was going to an AA meeting in San Marco but never returned- which was common.

WARNING: GRAPHIC

From one police report, @the same time they were performing the 'sex crimes kit' on DS:

"I took photographs of the suspects penis. I observed a large area of bruising to the head of the penis and multiple areas of bruising to the shaft of the penis."

Good. I hope your vile appendage still friggin' hurts like a and no longer works properly. :steamed:

ETA: Later in another report a Dr. Roa indicates this type of bruising is consistent with forced oral sex on the victim.
