MA - Bella Bond, 2, found dead, Deer Island, Boston Harbor, June 2015 - #6

[tlcya]

IME, people who are that far down the drug rabbit hole do not tend to keep a lot of food in the house, particularly not refrigerated items, except maybe pop/beverages. But again, that is just based on my own experiences with people who have serious addiction lifestyles so sprinkle with as much salt as you wish

My Uncle died in June in his townhouse (100 degrees outside and no A/C inside.)
He was dead for several days before he was discovered.
After arriving in the DRIVEWAY and being overwhelmed by the smell...
My first question was "why didn't the neighbors complain?"

Apparently they smelled nothing. Everything had to be thrown out.
You could smell it driving by with the dumpster outside.
Yet the neighbors didn't notice... I've never quite understood that. :dunno:

My Aunt died the same day but was found immediately.
Her apartment was much easier to clean out.
I am pretty anal about checking up on people now.
I don't ever want to do that again. :twocents:

The fridge option isn't that simple, though. It involves thinking that they're going to need to refrigerate the body. Then they have to empty out the fridge, maybe wondering what they're going to use to keep things cool in the meantime.

Then, they apparently got high for 3 days or something? It almost sounds like an attitude of , "now the job's done we can chill out" rather than "omg! what have we done, now we have a body to worry about!"

Maybe only a junkie could understand?

ETA, it could make sense to me if Rachelle acted alone and had planned it in advance. Then it would feel like "now the job's done and I need to get out of my head for a while before I actually dump the body". This feels like it might be consistent with the scenario I suggested earlier, that Rachelle did it alone and on purpose. Sorry to harp on that, I am completely open to all angles, I'm just trying to explore all the angles in my mind.

Out of sight, out of mind? Apparently, I cannot go down the drug rabbit hole as far as RB and MM did to fathom keeping a child's body in the refrigerator. It wasn't a large apartment and with an open concept kitchen/living room perhaps. The refrigerator is there. There's no ignoring it (well I guess RB could)! And from other posters, apparently the refrigerator/freezer has been an option for other parents as well...

Apparently you don't need much sustenance when you shoot heroin. Pop/beverages as tlcya stated and maybe a Red Bull now and then.

I don't have much hope for anyone in the neighborhood coming forward with any more information. Like it stated in the one article - it was none of their business :banghead: Not their problem!

I wish they would put the refrigerator in RB's cell with her until trial.

this waiting til the hearing on the 10th (I think that is right) is hard. Just nothing new coming out to go on so in circles we go, turning the information we have already been given over and over in our minds.

October 20th. I think my mind would be a little more at ease if Bella could be buried, but I suppose that will be after the 20th. I'm so praying that doesn't turn into a side show. Just let the baby rest in peace now.

We must have patience that justice will be served. :grouphug:

I didn't follow the CA case as closely as others but IMO CA was very different in many ways.

CA never wanted to be a mother, in fact she made it clear she wanted to give the baby up for adoption when she was pregnant yet the CA's mother forced her to keep the baby in an attempt to "teach a sociopath about caring and responsibility".

CA didn't strike me as a mean spirited sociopath that took pleasure in the suffering of others, she just wanted to party and have a good time with no restrictions. If she hadn't been forced to keep the baby there is a good chance she would have lived out her life with no major incidents.

I am not sure that RB is truly evil either, though she could be. She didn't tie up Bella in the basement and starve/beat the girl to death. RB wanted to be a good mother she was just way too messed up/unstable.

Both are severely evil!

Judging by her statement that " I am an accessory after the fact." She did a little research on how to muck up the forensics with cold, maybe even knowing that freezing would fracture cell walls. She also researched which would be the lesser charge IMO. I think she used all that time to formulate an out by blaming him and claiming battered woman syndrome. What's the worst they could get me for, accessory after the fact?

MOO

I'm sure computer forensics will be done, and all searches brought to light.

IF MM is innocent this is how it might be.. Bella was acting up or whatever. RB did whatever she did to her. RB puts her in the refrigerator. MM isn't around for a few days and in her drugged haze and bipolar mind.. Bella is the reason. RB has Johns there all the time.. they give her a ride somewhere and she dumps the refrigerated body which she tells the John is stuff she needed to get rid of because she cleaned out her fridge.JMO

MM returns, she tell him DCYS took the baby.IMO

Anything I write is just my opinion

I can see how all of this could be true, actually. But what do you mean by has bipolar mind?

Supposedly RB was diagnosed as bipolar some time in the past.

Yes, I am VERY biased but I must say that this child is under the care of the most dedicated people, probably those most dedicated to her ever! She's been cherished from the very moment she landed under the care of LE & the "system of justice", from experience, I'm betting she's remembered by the OCME staff on a daily basis......those who speak for the silent usually don't yell, just quietly protect.

 

[tlcya]

beautifully stated opinion.

So true, Joypath, so true. They (and you) are the unsung hero's for those who can no longer speak for themselves!

I hope their testimony can nail RB. Their issues will be torn apart by defense, but let us hope that a jury listens and believes

Wow, I have no words. Definitely some new info in there. I think RB's lie about being held captive and shot up in the neck to hold her captive can be debunked

But Fewtrell, like many who grew close to Bond, was banished after a falling out in the spring of 2014. Soon after, Bond turned to another longtime friend, Shannon Taylor, and asked her to move in.

“The three of us were a family,” said Taylor, a 42-year-old homeless woman who spends many nights curled up on sidewalks and in doorways near Copley Square.

One exchange haunts the former (MM) girlfriend. Her sister, she said, asked for a drink.

“We have bottled water,” Bond volunteered. She opened the refrigerator where authorities say Bella’s body had been kept, and handed over a bottle. The girlfriend and her sister drank it together.

It was July. Bella had been dead for more than a month.
