Why isn't LE looking in the landfill. What makes them think she is in water? Has to be something to make them look there.
I think I might have answered my own question...why yes I have...probably they got forensic off of the tires so they know where they were at. I hope this is the case
This comes up a lot in various threads. Searching a landfill is almost impossible. In the case of Lori Hacking, LE knew when her body had been placed in the trash and in what receptacle. So, they were able to trace back to the most likely grid her body would have ended up in.
Despite this, they searched for weeks and weeks:
Mark Hacking Charged With Wife's Murder - Aug. 9, 2004
A first-degree murder charge was filed against Mark Hacking, who according to police sources confessed to his brothers that he shot his wife in the head and threw her body in a trash bin. Lori Hacking's body has not been found, despite numerous searches of a local landfill.

Finally:
The discovery came on the 33rd working day of a search of 4,600 tons of garbage. Over the past weeks, investigators used cadaver dogs and brought in garden rakes to comb through the trash. About 20 law enforcement found the remains on Friday.

In the case of Jennifer and Abby Blagg, LE had difficulty searching for the mother and little girl, despite also knowing when they were disposed of and into which trash receptacle:
Jennifer's remains were discovered in the Mesa County landfill on June 5, 2002. There was no evidence of Abby's body at the scene and authorities are not certain if her remains will be located in the future.
Investigators stated that Jennifer's body was located in landfill trash collected from Michael's former employer in November 2001. One of his former co-workers told authorities that he saw Michael pushing a pallet jack with two large-sized cardboard boxes on it on the day he reported Jennifer and Abby as missing. The witness stated that Michael discarded the items on the loading dock near Ametek Inc.s' trash compactor. Michael refused an offer of assistance with the boxes, which was uncharacteristic of his behavior.

Police explain the difficulty in locating little Abby:
GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO - Investigators on Monday resumed their search for a missing girl at a landfill where her mother's body was found last week.
Investigators remained hopeful but have found no clues since they identified the body of Abby's mother, Jennifer Blagg, in the dump on Wednesday. Police said she had been shot to death.
``If Abby is in the landfill and was in that same load of refuse, the bulldozers spread it out over quite a large area,'' said Janet Prell, spokeswoman for the Mesa County sheriff. ``Abby could be quite far from her mother.''
Authorities said it could take weeks to finish sorting through the 7,000 tons of trash in the search area at the landfill.

They never found Abby. She remains in the trash dump her father sent her to.
So in the cases of Ayla, Jhessye, Sky, etc., it is virtually impossible to know where, in the acres and acres of mountains of trash, to begin to look. And even when they know where in that mountain, a small child may never be found.
With the exception I believe there is proof this grandmother knows what truly happened in that home. For one, I personally do not believe it happened on Dec 16th. I think he did not take Ayla to her dr appt because there was no Ayla to take. I also believe texting "fears someone will take Ayla" was another means to help set up the "alibi" and I am pretty sure, being he and Ayla were living in that house, that grandmother, sister, and girlfriend are all aware.
I agree. Reminds me of other cases where one child is abused while adults either participate or ignore it. I have thought from the beginning that Ayla was likely abused to death.
Why does LE do this? To get a confession? It doesn't work. They end up lawyering up and then what?
I don't get it.
It actually works almost all the time. We sleuth the hard cases. The cases where there is a confession very quickly do not get as much attention unless they are somehow unique.
Sadly, though, I think some perps are starting to catch on and the old techniques, while still good ones that usually work, are slowly starting to lose effectiveness in more such cases, like Kyron's, Jhessye's, Caylee's, Sky's, Ayla's, Aliayah's, Haleigh's, Hailey's, Hassani's, Baby Lisa's, Bianca's, Baby Kate's, etc, etc.
Police spokesperson: Justin did not know that at all r.e. Trista filing for full custody of Ayla the day before she goes missing.
This does not surprise me. It struck me as an abuse-leading-to-death case, early on. I wish it was not so. This baby looked so much like the father. Who the heck enjoys using a helpless baby as a punching bag? Are they punishing that which they don't like about their own self when they abuse their own child or allow their child to be abused? Isn't the innate goal of humans to protect and care for little children who cannot care for themselves, who are fragile little lives needing constant care and deep love? It baffles me, enrages me and makes me feel hopeless when I hear of such cases.
