Looking at the post count of some of the active members I don't know how you do it. The heartbreak....
I discovered this forum due to lack of information coming out of traditional news sources. On Saturday morning I passed the crime scene on the way to a relatives (10:00 am), a few heavy rescue trucks, police cars, seemed like something serious was going on. However, on the way home (3:00 pm) is when I knew something was really wrong (20+ fire/rescue trucks, boats, ATV's, etc.). I nearly got sick to my stomach and immediately told my wife that if someone was missing from that area it wouldn't end good. The trailer park is referred to locally as Pedophile Park, and is sandwiched between several nicer areas of Ft. Wayne. It feels like a sick joke, 15 RSO's + other convicted felons it is a blessing this hasn't happened more frequently.
The real reason for my post is to commend the active members. Until this case I didn't know how to access scanner feeds online, or the power they can posess for everyday people trying to help. It is like they always say, things don't seem real until they hit close to home...living 10 minutes away and passing the search in full swing has certainly opened my eyes in a way that will help better protect my children.
It is obvious none of you veteran members get used to the sadness or anger, and while I doubt my personality type will allow me to participate in the way you guys do (for sanity), I wanted to say that with every sad case you guys are probably helping more people that you will ever realize.
Welcome to our site. I hope you keep posting. I'm sad that such horrible circumstances were necessary to bring you here. But, there is a lot of sadness on websleuths, and determination.
That's nothing terrible...it's battery...fighting LEO/firefighters/ems
He absconded on his 1 year probation~!
None of his previous convictions that I've seen have been for criminal sexual conduct of any kind. Not making excuses for him but he's not an RSO.
I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic. It's hard to tell with writing sometimes. But if not, battery is a violent crime and battery of a police officer, firefighter or EMT is even worse. It's not like a bar fight or something.
I have wondered if he lost his temper, snapped and beat her???
To me, that sounds more like it than a sexual attack. Or maybe she really did have a nightmare and in trying to calm her down he smothered her. I don't jump on the wagon that he was grooming the family or the girls for sexual purposes. His kind of criminal record doesn't automatically make him a pervert.
I know several people, including family, who have felonies on their record and not a one of them would ever have it cross their mind to abuse or rape a child. They like adult hot chicks too much~! :rocker:
Here's the thing. Pedophiles and sex predators tend to find one another. They recognize the evil and emptiness in each other's souls.
I worked as an intern at the Federal Public Defender one summer during law school. Since the feds do not deal with straight child molestation, I felt I would be okay and not have to deal with monsters. I was wrong. I spent all summer working on child




cases.
Well, this one guy - big blond surfer type in his 40's - he liked to go to Thailand and other countries, pick up kids and then create




, which he disseminated in the U.S. I went to his bail hearing. He had a man come and agree to act as his sponsor if he was released on bail with conditions, stating he agreed to make sure the defendant didn't access the internet or went near children, etc.
The sponsor guy seemed like a mild-mannered bookish type. My boss whispered to me that he was pedophile too. I asked how he knew and he said after all those years, he could tell. Well, I ingrained his face, his mannerisms, everything, into my mind, him and all the other sickos I encountered that summer. And there is some kind of "look" or air about them. They recognize each other by it.
I have a deep suspicion that MP liked the same things Grampa liked. That's why they lived together. I think Aliahna wouldn't stop crying because of what MP was doing. So, he killed her. When I initially heard Ali's grandma tell Nancy Grace that she was awake that night, crying for her mother and having nightmares, and that he had to tend to her all night as a result and was so exhausted by it that he slept in, alarm bells went off.
Was this guy grandpa's caretaker? I wonder how they found him to hire him for that role...
If it was true, as Grandma says, that the girls spent time there with this man often, what changed on this night? Was there usually another adult present?
Who else but a fugitive would want to care for such a man? (Or a fellow pedophile).
