Found Deceased MI - Venus Stewart, 32, Colon, 28 April 2010 - # 8 *D. Stewart guilty*

[Kimberlyd125]

Snipped from Puf's link above:

Doug Stewart’s alibi stated he was in Newport News, but Lt. Risko can now say for sure he knows this isn’t true. “We put him from Ohio to Michigan,” but he couldn’t say how they know that information for sure. “He was not in Newport News, and we need the impersonator to come forward,” Risko says.
Risko told me there was someone resembling Doug Stewart visiting a variety of places in the area the morning Venus went missing. “This person may not have known what Mr. Stewart was up to.” The impersonator visited Stewart’s law office, and paid a bill for his civil custody case. The employees behind the reception desk did not know for sure what Stewart looked like in person, and the guy had on a hoodie and dark glasses. To them it appeared to be Doug Stewart, and to investigators, it appeared to be a solid alibi. That is until authorities started digging deeper. They have the impersonator on video at Stewart’s apartment complex, and visiting other businesses in the area.


Now, there goes the "solid" alibi explanation. And why it is now considered bogus.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Oh I agree, riveting. He must have done it. They should arrest him now before he knows they are on to him. Don't you agree?

Well, they know he was the one at the Wal-Mart and he was the one who made the purchase.
Are you saying he was just kind enough to go do that for the person who was framing him?

Are you argueing that that is not solid evidence that he did this? HE BOUGHT THE STUFF!!!

 

[Kimberlyd125]

IMO he is being watched constantly. They know where he is and what he's doing at all times.
IMO an arrest is near.

Police say they don't think the person on the video(s) in NN was Doug. How do they know the person on video in WalMart isn't an imposter?

No, I think they said they "know" the person on the video is not Doug. They KNOW it's not him. Big difference.

And they said they "put him" at the Wal-Mart buying the stuff. IMO they would not make that statement if they were not 100% sure.
They said they put him in OH and MI.

Well, regardless of that, they need to place him at Venus' parents house at the time she disappeared.

Possible Wal-Marts where Doug shopped:

Fremont, OH - 2.5 hours from Colon
Toledo, OH - 2 hours 3 mins from Colon
Wauseon, OH - 1.5 hours from Colon

(Based on supercenters close to the interstate within the 2 hour range)

Well, regardless of that, they need to place him at Venus' parents house at the time she disappeared.

Can be done by:

1) fingerprints on the tarp wrapper
2) boot treads in the dirt on/near driveway scuffle spot
3) gravel matching driveway gravel embedded in DS's boot treads

and many, many other ways.

So him faking an alibi, driving to Ohio, buying a tarp, shovel, gloves, hat, then driving to MI the day before VS is abducted. Then going home and lieing his hind end off about not being anywhere near MI at the time is not very compelling?
I know a lot will have to be proven at trial, but you've got to admit, that as much as you don't want to believe DS did this, it's starting to look like there is no way in heck he didn't do it.

All the facts that have been argued since day one that pointed to a frame have been blown out of the water by the recent quotes from Risko.

Yes, it's compelling and yes it's damning circumstantial evidence. But it doesn't place him at the scene of the crime.

I never said I didn't want to believe DS did this, just to be clear.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Yeah, they say they have proof he bought a tarp at the Wal-Mart. A tarp wrapper was found in the yard from where his wife was abducted.
That would be one heck of a coinkydink.

I agree puf, they may find prints on the tarp wrapper. Because, while I'm sure he was wearing the gloves for the actual abduction, he bought the gloves at Wal-Mart along with the tarp. He had to pick the tarp up to put it in the buggy.

I'd say it's more than circumstantial evidence. Wonder if they can track that tarp wrapper's UPC code to the one bought at Wal-Mart? I bet they can.

I agree you never said you didn't want to believe DS did it that I can remember. Sorry. My fingers were flying and I even said an ugly word. I edited the word, but you had quoted me already. :blushing:

Police are making a lot of statements about DS's whereabouts on Monday.

What was his alibi for Sunday between 10 am and 6 pm ?

The Walmart shopping trip is circumstantial evidence, no matter how compelling it may be.

I didn't notice you were being ugly, I didn't take it that way, no reason to apologize.

IMO it really does not matter because they have proof he was in Wal-Mart at 6 something buying the tarp, shovel, hat, and gloves. Then, they say they "put him" in MI after that.

Not if they can place an item he bought there at the scene of the crime.
And if the UPC code on that tarp wrapper matches the UPC code on the tarp he bought the day before, that would pretty much do it. IMO

 

[Kimberlyd125]

I also think they will be able to get some evidence from the gloves they found in the truck if he wore them while abducting VS.
Wonder what kind of gloves they were. I'm thinking they were most likely those thick black work type gloves. They are made of heavy duty fabric. Fabric can hold all kinds of forensic evidence.

IMO

Well it does matter if his alibi places him somewhere else and they can't crack it.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Ok, my alarm will be sounding in about 3 hours. Y'all have a good night.
