Found Deceased MI - Venus Stewart, 32, Colon, 28 April 2010 - # 7 *D. Stewart guilty*

Ok, I'm not finding any info on how long Wal-Mart keeps the security tapes/dvds other than blogs and message boards. And those answers are ranging anywhere from 30 days to 2 years.
So, not really linkable. But, IMO it's more than a week.

WOW, I feel like I am watching a bad B-movie on Cinemax. This case is NUTS.

I just want to thank everyone who has already made up there mind in this case for listening to the people who are sitting on the fence and considering their questions. I've spent the past hour reading today's thread developments and I appreciate the tolerance that is being shown for "everyone's" ideas. The people that have been following this case are smart, intuitive and we ALL make very good points occasionally, even those who are skeptical.

Puf...you showed some class today by admitting that while you may not agree with or like what some of the folks in here have pondered, that it does keep you on your game, and that's what makes you good at sleuthing. If we don't ask questions, we don't get answers. I can't speak for any of the other posters here, but when the majority of the people feel that something happened a certain way, there is some challenge in trying to imagine how it could have happened differently. I, for one, don't feel that anyone who posed any alternate theories has any malicious intent towards the victim or her family at all. I know that I don't. As I've said before, if he's guilty, I hope he rots...but I appreciate those of you who are allowing at least some debate without taking it as a personal affront. We all want the same thing. We want VS to come home...hopefully alive. I'm sure sorry I wasn't around for most of the day to join in with you guys.

Did they check to see if the DS that is in Michigan has a belly button? Clones don't have belly buttons...

I work at Kohl's where you can pay your charge card bill by mailing it or at any register in the store. It's happened more than once that I've had a customer say, "I usually mail this, but I was coming to the store anyway so I'll just leave it with you."

I don't recognize those customers. I don't usually see them. Yet, nothing is suspicious about this, either.

Could a similar situation have been in place for any of Doug's bills? Just wondering.

Well, it was the attorney who helped him in the custody case. You'd think they'd have seen him before. JMO.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

My theory on DS leaving so much evidence is this...

He thought his "alibi" would clear him right off the bat. He was cocky and thought there was no way his "alibi" would fall through. Therefore, no sense of urgency to get rid of ALL the evidence. By the time he realized he should do a better job of covering his tracks, it was too late and LE was all over him.

JMO/MOO/IMO...

BBM: yes most of the stuff "we know" they have. But, I think they have a lot more that we know. JMO

I've seen nothing that said he didn't have the truck.
And, he didn't report the truck missing.

So, IMO, he had the truck.

Well, we don't really know what he is claiming about the truck, because he isnt talking, neither is LE saying what he is claiming.

 

[Calliope]

Just because you have an attorney doesn't mean you've met him or her. I've used an attorney I've never met and another I didn't meet until he had worked for me for well over a year. We did business by phone and e-mail.

Hard to imagine not meeting with one in a custody case.

Maybe not the person who handles billing. JMO
Maybe he normally mailed payments.

Anyone know what Doug was decorated for as a Marine? TIA

No, we don't know what he is claiming about the truck. But, LE has come out and said DS says he was in NN when this happened. It seems to me that if he was claiming he didn't have the truck, then that info would have been disclosed when the "alibi" info came out. They said tire tracks at the scene are very similar and they want to test the actual tires. MSP seems to think he had the truck. Even if he is claiming he didn't, they seem to think he did. IMO, there must be a reason for that.

I don't know what he was decorated for, but IIRC I heard he was trained as a sniper.

The cunning plan seems to have relied a great deal on luck

No kidding.

So you have 12 hours to snatch your wife from in front of her parents' house, in front of God knows how many witnesses at a time when most people are on their way to work, school, stepping outside for their first morning smoke, walking the dog, etc., have to do it in such a manner than no one hears a peep, take her *wherever*, then high-tail it back home, over 750 miles and of course, hitting NoVA /Richmond/Tidewater area traffic at the peak of rush hour, but don't speed lest the popo catch you and make it back home just in time for the MI police to call and ask your whereabouts for the day.

GO!

Well the good thing is we now know that LE reached him at 8pm that evening...which makes his timeline much tighter than would be had it been 10pm or 11:30pm before they were able to reach him.

We also know they say they are sure his alibi is bogus and that they have evidence he was in MI at the time of the abduction.

Yet that was the one day he didn't call his children. The day Venus went missing.

 

[cluciano63]

So he did make really good time somehow...if he was in MI in the AM and in VA by 8pm or earlier...wow, I was not sure that was possible.

Wait, are they sure it was DS they spoke to that night in VA and not the imposter?

 

[Calliope]

Exactly. He's be VERY hard pressed to take her at 8 am and be back home 12 hours later. Where was there time to do *whatever* to venus? Eat? Pee? Was he wearing depends like that astronaut? And to hit the NoVA through tidewater at that time of day? Driving in such a manner so as not to draw attention to himself?

I honestly don't think it's possible.

 

[eyes4crime]

Maybe the main stage was filled with evidence, impostors at different places, mind boggling time elements, different cars, strategic receipts - and behind the scenes there was a hired person who quietly took Venus and killed her. IMO Doug seems like a brutal abuser and has every reason to get rid of his wife - I can't think of another person who would have such vested interest in committing this crime. moo

 

[Calliope]

He usually called at 8ish. If the police contacted him at that time, I can see why he wouldn't call.

The thing that took it into fantasy land for me was the police stating there may have been more than one imposter running around NN. That's ludicrous.

Silly question...do you have to scan out from BG? If not, Doug could have scanned in and out in 5 minutes and be on his way. moo

I've not been to BG, but none of the parks I've been to with annual passes that I've used (all the California ones and the Disney Florida ones) do NOT make you scan out in any form. The only way it'd track that is if you used it to enter one of the other parks (in the case of the Disney ones with multiple parks on both properties in CA and FL).

They just use the "counter" things that make sure all the people who entered leave. Typically they want people exiting as quickly as possible - they're often in rushes after shows, parades, when weather changes, in anticipation of beating traffic, or when the park closes.

I would think that even if BG did something that even none of the highly security conscious parks use and they DID make you scan out, that it certainly wouldn't be with finger prints so he could have passed the pass off.

In addition, I know at least at Disney, and I know this from experience having seen them myself - that the cameras there are detailed enough to read a very tiny nametag someone is wearing a good 50 feet away.

If BG's got cameras even a fraction of the quality Disney does - or in a fraction of the places that Disney has them, they'd know beyond a doubt if that were Doug in the park even if it didn't require fingerprints and was a pass scanning system only. I suspect their cameras are far better at the park than many other places, and they could find him at least at the entrance and verify if that were him if BG were any part of the alibi for the weekend portion.
