I got a little side tracked.....the satelite guy came by.....who are we sleuthing next? anyone inparticular?

 

[cathdawg]

Yes, as their DNA would most likely be on her ie clothes etc.

 

[sorrell skye]

I guess what I'm trying to say is that even after all the evidence has been processed, LE (including the D.A.) still has to develop a plausible crime scene scenario based on the evidence.

You would think there would be a starving reporter out there, befriending the Community etc., reading our posts . LOL

I know!! Who's that poster that has the friend that works for Nancy Grace? Maybe we could get her to talk NG into getting some answers. Or JVS possibly.

 

[cathdawg]

Yes just like we have been trying to do without any info...

 

[sorrell skye]

Hi Tara - we're trying to figure out whether or not evidence has been processed & why it's taking so long.

Isn't it a little late for the satellite guy to be stopping by?

Here is another inconsistency to me.

"There had been a fire at the house and workers were there remodeling it. The workers said Somer walked inside the fence around the home and even spoke to them."

I'm not sure where this "workers" quote comes from. Workers. That is very different from "worker". Kyle said that he was the last one to see her alive. I think we figured out that LE told him that, not that he decided that he was.

So were there workers there or a worker?

LE did not look at that house until a couple of days later, after Somer was found, is that correct?

I remember in the beginning that J of VD and B saying that he thought that people were using the house as they sometimes found beer cans or something there. Don't remember the exact quote.

So here are my questions.

1. If LE did not go to the house for a couple of days, a lot could have been done there by a worker. Either in terms of clean-up or of abducting Somer right there and then.

2. He wouldn't have had to kill her right then. He could have said he'd give her a ride home because he could have questioned why she was there and found out her little story.

3. He could have done it there and transported her from there, no longer alive.

4. I find it kind of strange that the owner of VD and B was so defensive right away. He didn't express any outrage or sympathy, just CYA. I find that pretty cold and strange. After all a child is missing. I think the average person would be jumping on the bandwagon. But that's me.

You would think that he would say that he has given LE all the names of his workers. Times they worked there. Racking his brain for anyone at the site and asking if they had friends there visiting. Anything,

Aside from the fact that Somer walked through the gate to the house. I just don't buy it.

IMO, if all the trace evidence on the victim is from her usual daily environment, LE's job is harder than if it's from a stranger or from a source she wouldn't have been expected to have had contact with.

Speaking of lol ... NG seems not to interview to many anymore connected to lawyers and crimes.. esp. entertainment ones.. I have noticed this lately.. Can't say I blame her either.. It is just a circus when entertainment lawyers are involved.. imo..

 

[cathdawg]

It is strange and I hope LE did a better job than the MPR. I bet you they went there after the body was found because of the soot or something else they found within the area surrounding the body.

I agree - his claims about finding the beer cans could've been a ruse.

I wonder if LE vacuumed the cars of the workers to collect evidence - hair, fibers, etc.

I personally don't believe she was killed in the house, but IF she was, forensics investigators have special lights they can shine over surfaces to find traces of washed away blood.


BTW - what does CYA mean?

 

[Cheewawa007]

I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open and my fingers mashing, so I think I'll call it a night everyone... take care and find us someone one new to sleuth. I like your pick MommaD - why don't you tell sorrell who you chose & why?

 

[cathdawg]

The sad cases such as Mark Klass and Mr Lungsford, they were cleared by LE and it became Public knowledge. The COD was also disclosed. same with Shaniya so I am racking my brains trying to figure out why this case is top secret.

CYA-cover your a$$

I didn't follow those cases, cath - but I do think it's interesting how mum LE is being. Maybe the difference in those cases & this one is because the family members weren't suspect? Could it be because LE hasn't ruled out family members?

 

[human]

Honestly, LE certainly knows that people are suspecting family members. I'm sure their wives, GF's, BF's, neighbors, everyone is talking about the fact that some people suspect the family. People always do in these cases.

So why not end the speculation and say it's not the family? They have enough misery without that added on.

But LE does not say that. Very weird to me.

 

[sorrell skye]

I'm having wi-fi issues - AGAIN! So if my green light keeps going out, that's why. I keep having to repair my connection - grrrrr!

 

[human]

I have that with my computer sometimes, too. Happens if it's stormy or windy.

My daughter told me that she had to get a new modem because I guess they wear out.

 

[sorrell skye]

ITA human! Weird! Which leads me to believe that LE hasn't ruled them out. It's like you said - if LE doesn't believe they're involved, after everything they've been through, why not just say so?
