I just wanted to thank everyone who wrote those informative posts from yesterday. Thanks rd for your insight, and it's nice to have you here, Philomena and Anglemom , and as always our Chico and to you OToH for keeping us abreast with the local buzz.

At another site yesterday there was not one post on the case. I thought of WS and gave a great big ;} Scandi

I know what you mean about no posts in a whole day - scares me that maybe people are forgetting about Theresa. I'm hoping that maybe people just don't know what to think or say with no new information coming out. I just hope that they are keeping Theresa and her family in their thoughts and prayers.

 

[chicoliving]

Nah, no forgetting here. Just pacing ourselves for the long haul The facts are so few at this time and it just doesn't sound like that is gonna change anytime soon.

Lamar Weaver has seen a lot in his work as a private investigator, enough that he feels law enforcement authorities should charge ex-LaFayette police sergeant Sam Parker with murder in the case of his missing wife Theresa.

~snip~

Weaver said he feels that friends should try to convince Sam Parker to turn himself in. “With a plea bargain he could avoid the death penalty, and we could get this woman back, give her a Christian burial and let her family and the community move on.”

Weaver said that until a suspect is in custody, it is important to increase the reward money as much as possible, and said the business community should be prevailed upon to help more.

Wow......that is interesting. Since people feel that LE is dragging its feet, can the DA and lead Dects call for a grand jury hearing?

And if LE thinks Steve is the perp, why raise the reward money? I think I misunderstood something.

LOL I think what he was saying is that to him there is no reason not to go forward with charges just because there's no body. I don't think its necessarily anyone's opinion other than this PI that thinks LE is dragging their feet, according to the article.

They want the reward fund to be raised in the hope that whoever knows something will decide to talk because of the money. If anyone knows something they should tell anyway.

I can understand LE not wanting to arrest Sam yet because if they take him to trial and they don't have enough evidence to convince a jury and he walks he can't be tried again. It is just that we are so sure that Sam is guilty of harming Theresa that we want him arrested NOW and tried for her murder.

Bobbisangel,
Thanks for the reply. Your explanation makes sense.
I too am convinced Sam killed his wife---I want him arrested before he leaves town.

I think some rest is called for. Who's Steve??

GAgal previously reported on the SoundOff Blog Network-

http://www1.romenews-tribune.com/soundoff/blog/649/

that SP had at one point sought refuge in Alabama. Apparently, a mutual friend of GAgal and Sam was living in Alabama (not too far from Lafayette, GA) and gave Sam a place to get away from the onslaught of attention. I would certainly have no way of confirming such a visit but GAgal was insistent she knew what she was talking about…

Now, GAgal reports that the lady from Alabama that had taken Sam into her residence has been killed in an automobile accident…

I am still pounding out conspiracy theories because, well, somebody has to do it. I mean really sheeople, things are not always as clear as they appear.

OtOh

Oh my! I must have been really tired last night. :blushing:
Sorry for the errors.

Wow. That is weird. I mean, probably nothing, but still really weird.

Thanks for bringing it over, b/c I cannot stand to read at those local forums. They make my head hurt with all of the references to people and places I don't know and the gossip and whatever.

PS...can I ask why you use a different font than the default? Can you make it a little bit bigger if you really like it? It is hard to read. Thanks!

 

[gagal]

Hey guys - As far as the conspiracy theory with the auto accident - it's all a coincidence. I am totally convinced SP is guilty as far as his wife but not with this accident. People seem to think he might have told this friend too much or something but that's not true....She was a loving person and if she knew anything she would have told somebody without thinking twice. She believed in him or wouldn't have had anything to do with him if she even thought he could be guilty. There were plenty of witnesses to the accident, and they think she possibly just fell asleep. It was a tragic accident and too much is being made of it having anything to do with Sam Parker......just to put the theories to rest on her part of this story so she can rest in peace.

 

[rd_jfc]

That she believed in his innocence also means something. Thanks for the info, gagal.

You're welcome RD. I just know that she didn't believe he had anything to do w/ Theresa's disappearance and it bothered her that people thought he did so I know would really break her heart that people were even thinking that Sam could have something to do with her own death.

As far as her believing in Sam's innonence, I don't think that says much to Sam's character b/c you know how it is with family members and close friends - you always want to believe in them and think the best of them, especially when you live in a different city and pretty much just know their side of things.

 

[OnTHEotherHAND...]

Ok, so Sam goes to Alabama to get away from the pressure and confides in one of the few people in the world that reportedly support him. Over the course of several days, Sam tells the long story that ultimately led to the unexplained disappearance of his wife.

Meanwhile, Ben Chaffin elects to stay in jail vs. bonding out for peanuts. A smart move.
It wasn't a confession from Ben or Sam, rather the revelation of a far more complicated game played by members of an elite, cleverly interwoven aristocracy.

Breaking news finds the most recent party to have been shown the truth, deceased. A fatal victim of an unexplained traffic accident complete with witnesses and logical explanations.

As for the $1000.00 plus reward offer… First of all, in this day and time, the average citizen does not need a payday to tattle on a neighbor. The big brother propaganda machine has done a wonderful job of morphing the once inadmissible testimony of the anonymous nosey neighbor into a high paying career complete with benefits. I mean really, the FBI, GBI, WCSD, LPD, and God only knows who else, apparently do not have enough evidence to build a case. Now, all of a sudden you honestly suppose someone is going to step up, and for $2,000.00 (before taxes I'm sure) solve the mystery…

Maybe so. That would be fitting as the entire investigation smells of an old dog and pony show performed on a makeshift stage, starring a cast of daytime drama students reading an impromptu script, scribbled in haste on a yellow legal pad by a world class blue film screenwriter. Some things just don't seem to make sense…How about the family picnic outing, bring the wife and kids: Don’t be late. We will search south Walker County for a decomposing corpse. Or the anti-climatic draining of a mud hole in response to a tip given by a pack of starved for action, salivating hound dogs...

I realize the community of crime and punishment fan experts would like to chalk another one up to the sociopathological actions of the classical silent X. How many times has such a predictable reaction been used to disguise a more complicated reality?

The extraterrestrial world has worked behind the “giggle factor” cloak for years. The masterminded criminal makes his living in opposition to expectations of the norm…

Just a thought from the otherhand.

As for the non-default font--- I compose in WORD... cut and paste to the board… I will do better.

Rewards are primarily for publicity purposes to keep a story alive, if not the person who has disappeared. Without an announcement of another reward donation, there would be no news to report in these cases, save the occasional anniversary story.

Rewards also are based on appealing to bad people who associate with other bad people who commit crimes. Bad people talk to each other, and it's the hope of police that a bad person will hear talk and try to collect on it.

Of course bad people don't really have to actually hear something to try to collect. That's what makes them bad.

None of this applies to typical silent ex when a woman disappears. They are rarely experienced bad people and typically don't have associates involved in their deed, nor feel a compulsion to talk about it, such as some bad people may do to brag about their misdeeds.

I suppose there must be the occasional person who suffers from a pang of conscience and feels compelled to confess to someone, but haven't seen that with silent ex's.

The “silent X” profile is rather interesting.

I quickly searched for anything on the “silent x” or “silent ex” and did not find much. Could it be that “silent x” is an rd original?

rd-- From your archived posts I have compiled a partial list of traits common to the “silent x” personality. See if I have it correct and add to or edit as you deem accurate.

Silent X

• Typically don’t involve other people in their deed. Act alone.
• Seldom compelled to discuss their actions.
• Seemingly bear no guilt or remorse for their deed.
• Refuse to take lie detector test.
• Ability to remain silent for years on end without breaking down
• History of domestic abuse both verbal and physical
• Often a control freak. Calm and collected exterior with a violent rage inside.
• ….

Rd- I invite you to continue the list of commonalities and if applicable, address the following circumstances:

• children/no children
• average age of silent x?
• occupations?
• repeat offenders?
• conviction rate
• do they eventually relocate geographically or not?
• is pleasure derived from foiling authority’s i.e. Munchausen syndrome?
• are the suicide threats ever carried out or is that behavior motivated by another need for attention?
• supposing the silent x averted the criminal courts- do they ever face charges in the civil arena? i.e. oj simpson

Finally, slightly off subject but a short answer will suffice…. In your humble opinion- Who killed jb Ramsey?
