I will say, wow, this case has me torn which way to even think. I am late coming in to this case so respectfully understand I am trying to look at the facts as a latecomer . I know as a WS member follow many cases how we all become emotionally involved and want to find the perp and have them convicted. I have also seen cases on WS where we literally feel 100% of someone's guilt to later find out of their innocence. I say all this prior to asking my question. Please don't shoot the messenger. I have no clue who the perp is. My question is...what are the odds that maybe Deorr was actually abducted or maybe, in fact, did wander off? I understand odds of wandering or wild animal snatching would probably leave the too big of boots found. Animal grabbing would potentially leave blood evidence. I do believe if there was a pedophile or abductor in the vicinity maybe watching the 4 adults/1 small child and watched the parents stroll to the creek then see a very old GGF and his friend maybe not keep a close eye on Deorr there could be easy abduction. But no doubt LE has researched other campers alibi's, etc. I am not saying I believe what has happened, just speculating. I have heard speculation Jess maybe grew tired of being a mother and wanted the motherless lifestyle again. Another angle I can appreciate. To be honest, I really don't see where Jess remarrying or Vernal moving looks bad. I can see where a strained relationship went from bad degraded to worse. Vernal needed money/job and I think he had a broken heart. I doesnt appear to me that Jess remarrying plays any part in Deorr disappearance. I dont think marriage and testimony plays a part. Maybe it does play a part in Jess wanting to be motherless w no parenting obligations and sought a man for motherless relationship. But in watching all the interviews and quite a bit of reading on my part recently I really dont think Vernal knows anything. The one thing that SCREAMS OUT TO ME is what you as a group have brought to the forum...why didnt LE find any dirty diapers. I am not LE and know what they know when they knew it. Maybe LE didnt think about the diaper issue for a couple of days and all campground trash has been discarded, etc. but if they thought of diaper issue day of disappearance and couldnt find a diaper would lend to the potential that Deorr was never at the campground. Also, I have no idea who or how many were neighbor campers camping at that time but no doubt, Deorr would have been a loud little boy running around. He was so cute. I have to feel if there were female campers someone would have reported to LE something along the lines of "Yes, he was just running around happy/loudly in his boots that appeared to be too big making it hard to walk" "But he was just so, so cute. Yes he was here" Since we havent heard of any neighboring campers comments from LE and with LE now saying they think it's a homicide, maybe Deorr actually never arrived at campground. Maybe the parents did play GFF and his buddy as an alibi.
I have spent this time typing all this because it sort of appears Vernal loved his son tremendously and couldnt play a part in his disappearance. I believe if he knew hos wife had done something bad he would come forward late in the game.
Again, I humbly type all this with nowhere near the knowledge many of you have so please dont yell at me as you can prove some of my speculation as incorrect
I sure wish I knew what LE knows. It would be so sad if their son did in fact wander off and we assume them guilty because the body hasnt been found. I trust LE to find the facts. Maybe they wont find the body but I think they know the facts
