Is it wrong for me to hope the news media just happens to be there when/if an arrest is made? :jail:

No not wrong at all. JMO!

From your link: BBM

"He said he had not checked to see if additional donations had been made to the fund because he had been in Atlanta all day Thursday."

Related to the case? The possible lead???

I have been wondering over the last few days since it was announced that Sills went back to the house if maybe the children found some additional evidence or something missing when they went back in. In the process of cleaning up they could have noticed something that LE wouldn't realize wasn't there or didn't belong. jmo

Not sure if related to the lead. Wish I could copy the entire article or the paper would just make it easier for people to read.

Sills and sheriff’s detectives spent Friday in the state crime lab, he said, meeting “with at least eight different criminalists.”

Does the FBI have a field office in Atlanta?

He did mention having a meeting yesterday with all the investigators.

I think it stated that he met with them this morning.

Ok I am going to add this as a possible motive.:floorlaugh: Please don't shoot me.:scared:

I keep thinking about certain things.

My grandmother lived in a retirement community until she passed away at the age of 95 and she often told me that I wouldn't believe the affairs going on there by those who had been married to the same person for 60-65 years. She said it was very common for men or women to flirt and make a pass toward someone else's spouse. She also said these people were in their late 70s or 80s. She even told me that one man in his 80s divorced his wife of 67 years and married his lover who was also in her 80s.

What I take away from this is even older people are still interested in sex and romance even at that age and can become very jealous and angry.

Then I think about how it seems he tried to set Shirley up specifically to take the fall for Russ' murder.

People that lived in the same GW community said neither Russ nor Shirley looked their age and everyone there thought they were in their sixties and couldn't believe their true age when they found out and that tends to make me think the Dermonds never discussed their true age with anyone.

So it makes me ponder if this was done out of spite, rage, and jealousy. Did someone make advances to Shirley and she shut him down in a nano second causing them to have seething rage toward her? Someone who thought she was in her 60s?

Its just total speculation of course but stranger things have happened. The elderly are not immune to killing others over a jealous rage. I have already mention the case where a 79 year old woman murdered her husband because she suspected he was having an affair. (which he wasn't btw)

I think most tend to think that people in their 60s,70s and 80s no longer even thinks about sex or ever gets jealous or angry over someone they may have an attraction to when that really isn't true.

I remember one time when my father in law was alive and in his early 80s. The man down the road was always bringing my mother in law eggs and vegetables and my father in law was convinced that this man was trying to make a move on my mother in law. Even though she was way older than the man giving her these things who was really just a very nice man. But my father in law was never convinced that was his true intentions and always felt his intentions were less than honorable. It was funny to all of us but he was dead serious.

IMO

Or RD had a girlfriend and her husband found out and decided to put an end to it. If so, she has been living in constant fear she would be next.

Yay! Hoping for something to come out of this new lead.

Unfortunately, I have stuff I need to get done here and all I want to do is sit here and refresh the page.

Thanks Peach for all the media updates! You help me tremendously, been in and out and can't follow closely as before ! My one stop source for now

‘Plausible’ lead being checked, Sills says

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a “plausible” lead in the Russell and Shirley Dermond murder case – but Sheriff Howard Sills said Friday morning the lead has a “big if” attached to it.
Sheriff’s officials were working on obtaining a court order in connection with that lead.

Sills said the phone call about the case was not made in response to the reward offered early this week. He would not discuss additional details.

......

Sills and sheriff’s detectives spent Friday in the state crime lab, he said, meeting “with at least eight different criminalists.”
He said they had a “long discussion about our forensic evidence – what they had done so far, what they could do, what they needed.”
“It was a productive meeting,” Sills said.

Fingers crossed!!!

Well, good grief. You're right. I'm thinking newpaper error and he was at the crime lab yesterday? I don't know. Sorry about that!

 

[tomkat]

Anybody hear sirens?

YES YES< pesimist feeling positive about now, but he did say a big "IF" but feel like they are making headway and have some forensics or lack thereof that lead them in a good direction !??lease:

 

[tomkat]

lease:lease: wanna SEE THAT !!

Well whatever it is its huge, imo.

If he is obtaining a court order (SW) then he has to have solid probable cause.

They don't just do that on something that is iffy, imo.

I think what he means when he says it is based on a big if that it means if what the person has told them is true. But they must think it is very credible to go forward like this.

IMO

 

[oceanblueeyes]

Ok does anyone think this person came forward because they may live with the suspect and feared for their own life? Or they knew what he had done and just couldn't live with themselves and not tell anyone.

He said it was not in connection to the reward.

IMO

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:


CLEARLY, we are all getting delirious! Your comment cracked me up :floorlaugh:

The only thing I can say about any of it, is......i think it happened at or near dark Fri night and finished into the night


whoever the helk it was or how

I think the same, Tomkat.

Are any of the national channels picking this new news up yet?

Plausible
That word makes me think it is some other type of information someone provided. What the heck do I know though? I don't even know today is Friday. Lol.

Oh yeah I can see that happening, mentioned that earlier, or someone overheard and was fearful

I know what you mean but he did mention a phone call didn't he?

He made sure that he said it wasn't anything connected to the reward money. So I don't think they called the tip line but may have called Sills personally.

I think this person may have provided information because they may have been fearful of this person now that they knew he was capable of doing something like this or maybe just maybe they couldn't live with themselves any longer and had to tell LE about what they knew.

They have to firmly believe whoever this person is has a lot of credibility. Judges don't sign off on SWs based on iffy statements. Maybe whatever they told them lined up with some of the forensic evidence they have already found.

All I know is I will be glad when we learn who the potential suspect is.:tantrum:

IMO

That's consistent with my reply to you earlier.
