GUILTY MI - Brenna Machus, 20, Romulus, 16 July 2013

[Guinevere]

I can see it!!! Instead if a mustache, it looks like when guys shave but leave a line of hair around below their lips. Erg...I'm sure there's a name for it .

BBM I don't know..... maybe????? But I still think its a nose. If it were a goatee type thing that would make the placement of they eyes much higher in that hoodie and I don't believe the perp would be able to see.

JMHO

Yeah but a funky one. I'm looking up styles right now.

Maybe like a Fu Manchu mustache?
I guess that style wouldn't work....

similar to a goatee?

I was thinking the same thing about the eyes, but I don't know if you could really know what he can see without being inside that hood, kwim? And if he cased security cameras, maybe he knew he could take the hood down/see more clearly once he got past a certain point?

Grr...I looked and looked for a style that I was thinking of and couldn't find anything. But yes, I think you may be right. Some kind of goatee/soul patch thing going on. Good eye!

IMO the hand wave thing looks to me like he was going to take off his hood out of habit and at the last second remembered not to and tried to make it like a wave.

or

Maybe the store rules make the employees say hi to anyone that enters into the store and he was doing an awkward wave as a response.

I saw that almost-grab at the hood. Good observation.

O/T--you're northwest of *me*. St Paulie here. :seeya:

Here's the video that I found on Youtube and it shows the hand wave gesture.

At the very beginning of the video, right as he opens outside door, and again at about .037 when it loops--what's the movement in the upper left hand corner of the frame?

He makes sure to push the doors open with his sleeve covered arm and does not use his hand. I don't think he's waving at anyone. It's just for the camera.

Also, if it was raining, that jacket isn't so strange.

Do you think it was an accomplice that was crouched down perhaps, or do you think that could be his shadow somehow cast onto the window?

I think it was like a previous poster (Sere-nity) mentioned that maybe he automatically was going to take off his hood, but decided not to, so waved instead. OR,
if there was someone outside waiting then they would see the hand gesture, and that meant something. IMOO.

Just let her go

Er, sorry, I think it's the CCTV information flashing--it's extends from far left to mid right across the top of the screen. Eager me, lol.

Perp is dressed quite expensively, IMO.

To those with capability to enhance or enlarge the still photo of the perp:

Can you tell if he has a pinky ring on or a bracelet?

 

[dillysmom11]

What stands out as expensive?

The style/cut of jeans, shirt and possibly jacket. I just went thru a bajillion clothes donated to our ministry, and those look very familiar to some high end things we were given. I'm trying to figure out brand names, just because they might be perps preferred. MOO

Info on a relationship Brenna has been in. Her significant other came home to their house at 1am and when she wasn't there, Ashley assumed she had gone to her moms house.

http://www.freep.com/article/20130717/NEWS02/307170083/kidnapping-murder-robbery-Family-Dollar

"Ashley Sulla, 18, said she has been in a relationship with Brenna Machus since April and that they lived together at a home in Romulus. Sulla said she last spoke to Machus, whom she said she has known since childhood, before 7 p.m. Monday. When Sulla came home about 1 a.m. and saw Machus wasn’t there, she said she assumed Machus had gone to her mother’s house.

“I hope she’s fine,” Sulla said. “I wonder what’s going through her mind.”
