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

[Calliope]

That is the first time I have seen an actual time.

The times I've seen so far are 6:45 pm on Sunday for WalMart purchase, 9:30 am unabomber-doug pays lawyer bill, 8 pm (or shortly after) police call to NN.

 

[BeanE]

They don't need to prove (beyond a reasonable doubt, of course) that he abducted her?

Ok then.

That's not what I said. At all. That's not, in fact, what you said, to which I was responding. At all.

If he bought the things at 6:45 or so on Sunday, he would have had time to dig a grave, I guess. But unless it is on property his family owns, that is taking a big chance as well as taking another huge one the next morning in going back to it with her body, at which time there would be cars on the road going to work. He could easily have been seen. I am wondering how good the search of his parents property was and how well-trained the dogs. Also, I would think his family members would be the first people LE would consider to be the one acting as DS; he does not seem to have many male family members; I don't know about brother-in-laws or how close any of them are that they would do something like this. I am opting for someone in NN if he was there long enough to make this close a friend.
I do think LE knows when he back in VA; I can't imagine they are counting on the timeline by a voice on a phone, or if they are, then they are far less experienced and professional than I want to think. I also want to assume they have at least removed those tires and compared them by now; that is an important issues as they need to know if this is the vehicle used. They may have done that, without transporting the truck itself. They may know just about everything except ID of the helper in Va and they need to know that to disprove the alibi for court.

Here is the weather data for Ft. Wayne, Indiana on Sunday, April 25th. This is the closest town (77.6 miles) near Colon that I could find archived weather data for.

Spam, Your excellent post jarred me into finding my go-to place for when I need to know what was going on while we were gone. They have Colon listed, so here's an easy to read synopsis of the day that I created from this link:

It says conditions were dry, visibility 10 miles and temp around 65F when the abduction occurred.

Again, Spamelope, thanks for helping me find this. I need to go to basic training for WS.

 

[ChasingMoxie]

I don't think it's strange at all that someone would have an exceedingly complex alibi and plot for an abduction/murder followed by gross negligence in handling the scene after the crime. Seriously. I would think that planning something like this is much less stressful than actually carrying it out, you know? Think about it, everything DS has to do prior to the abduction is (relatively speaking) much lower stress: he's alone, he's driving out of VA, he's shopping, he thinks he's in the clear. AFTER he's encountered VS and he has done the unthinkable: he's no longer thinking clearly, he's a madman, he's extremely stressed, he's rushed, and he's SCARED.

That doesn't sound that strange to me. In fact, it sounds like relatively normal response to something so violently against human nature.

I can't wait to watch this guy go down. IMO he's worthless and he almost certainly killed VS. I would love to hear that he didn't but I just don't think you need a tarp and a shovel for a spa getaway. I hope the best for those children and VS's family.

 

[Calliope]

That's not what I said. At all. That's not, in fact, what you said, to which I was responding. At all.

"they need to place him at Venus' parents house at the time she disappeared"

Of course, if he had someone else take her then they don't need to. But if they're going to prosecute doug himself with actually abducting her, how did he do it if he was not at Venus' parents' house at the time she disappeared?

 

[spamelope]

Wow, thank you grayjay! That site is awesome! I think there's one tiny mistake with the date though, the month was April that VS disappeared in. Here is the date using your great site for April 25-26th.

"At the start of all this, Mr. Stewart claimed to be in Virginia (at the time of Venus' disappearance), and had what we thought was a pretty solid alibi there," said Lt. Mike Risko of the White Pigeon Post. "Several weeks ago we were able to place him in central Ohio the night before Venus came up missing. Recently, more evidence has come to light that actually places him in Michigan the morning of her disappearance."

The receipt...

Risko added that Douglas Stewart then returned to Virginia that night, but has since returned to Michigan.

In Virginia that night...

If the person or people impersonating Stewart knew where he was, they could be considered an accessory to any wrongdoing, Risko said.

"It depends on what they knew and when they knew it," he said. "By now that person or persons should know that this is serious, and that they should come forward."

"At the start of all this, Mr. Stewart claimed to be in Virginia (at the time of Venus' disappearance), and had what we thought was a pretty solid alibi there," said Lt. Mike Risko of the White Pigeon Post. "Several weeks ago we were able to place him in central Ohio the night before Venus came up missing. Recently, more evidence has come to light that actually places him in Michigan the morning of her disappearance."

The receipt...

Risko added that Douglas Stewart then returned to Virginia that night, but has since returned to Michigan.

In Virginia that night...

If the person or people impersonating Stewart knew where he was, they could be considered an accessory to any wrongdoing, Risko said.

"It depends on what they knew and when they knew it," he said. "By now that person or persons should know that this is serious, and that they should come forward."

I don't think it's strange at all that someone would have an exceedingly complex alibi and plot for an abduction/murder followed by gross negligence in handling the scene after the crime. Seriously. I would think that planning something like this is much less stressful than actually carrying it out, you know? Think about it, everything DS has to do prior to the abduction is (relatively speaking) much lower stress: he's alone, he's driving out of VA, he's shopping, he thinks he's in the clear. AFTER he's encountered VS and he has done the unthinkable: he's no longer thinking clearly, he's a madman, he's extremely stressed, he's rushed, and he's SCARED.

That doesn't sound that strange to me. In fact, it sounds like relatively normal response to something so violently against human nature.

I can't wait to watch this guy go down. IMO he's worthless and he almost certainly killed VS. I would love to hear that he didn't but I just don't think you need a tarp and a shovel for a spa getaway. I hope the best for those children and VS's family.

Great post and I totally agree.

Obviously that alibi doesn't hold up, so someone was in Virginia, in the Newport News area, pretending to be Doug Stewart, in our belief, to provide an alibi," Risko said.​

Since they say there is an Imperso Doug, I wonder what Imperso got for doing all this? The reason this is all so bizarre is apparently there is no money trail from DS to Imperso. The LE statement to the effect that "the person who impersonated Doug Stewart may not have known.." (Or something to that effect) is ludicrous. Imperso Doug knew what was going down and if, and I do say IF, they come forward surely noone will believe it. So I would say it is more than a friend...

Even if DS is arrested I doubt they will find the Imperso Doug. DS has no reason to disclose who the individual is and I seriously doubt the LE is going to find them. They apparently do not have any pics or they wouldn't be trying to "talk" to Imperso.

It's also possible that they already have a good idea who the proxinator might be, and they're giving him a chance to come forward. They'd probably like to skip all the work to seal up a case against him, too. It could be win-win, if they can smoke him out instead of just tarring him in place.

They don't have pics of what?
They say they have video of the impersonator and they know it is not DS. Is that what you mean?

The quote was "Obviously that alibi doesn't hold up, so someone was in Virginia, in the Newport News area, pretending to be Doug Stewart, in our belief, to provide an alibi," Risko said." That suggests that they don't know for sure that it isn't him.

I still don't get why they haven't made this video public. If it is clearly not DS they will likely find out who it is pretty quickly if they did that.

I agree with you. Why not release the video to the public instead of this vague description? Hoodie, sunglasses, and baseball cap is not a physical decription. They did not give any approximate height, weight, etc, for the alleged impostor. If the video(s) are of good enough quality for LE to determine that it is "OBVIOUSLY" not DS, then it must also be of good enough quality for someone in the public to possibly recognize the impostor, his physical stature, mannerisms, etc. So why keep that video to themselves?

MSP put Stewart in Mich. April 26

WHITE PIGEON — Michigan State Police don’t believe Douglas Harrie Stewart was in Newport News, Va. on April 26 at the time his estranged wife Venus disappeared from in front of her parents’ rural Colon home.

“We have him in the morning in Michigan,” Lt. Mike Risko, Commander of the White Pigeon Michigan Police Post said.

In addition, the evidence developed from a receipt found in Stewart’s truck in Newport News, Va., puts him at a Wal-Mart in Ohio at 6:45 p.m. on the night of April 25 at a driving distance of about two hours from Colon.

Stewart is the only person of interest in the MSP’s investigation of Venus’ disappearance. She has not been seen or heard from since April 26, and the MSP conclude she was abducted. Early in the case it appeared Stewart had an alibi that he was in Virginia at the time Venus vanished.

*
In addition to processing crime scene evidence and following leads, the MSP are now seeking an individual that they believe was impersonating Stewart in Newport News on April 26.

A man resembling Stewart paid a bill for Stewart at a Newport News law office on April 26, the day Venus disappeared. Also, video recordings show a man resembling Stewart at his apartment complex on that day and a Stewart look-a-like appears on other video recordings in other locations, according to Risko.

Okay, so there are two other Dougs, one that simply resembles him and one that is his look-a-like. Then there is another person who drove one of the vehicles back to MI. He sure has a lot of little helpers for someone that is the one and only person of interest.

Also from that article:

State Police investigators are scheduled to go to Virginia to do investigative work there, and at that time will bring back Stewart’s Dodge pickup truck on a trailer, Risko said.

“We need it for the tires,” he said, adding that investigators don’t want any further tire wear that would be caused by driving it back.

I am delighted they finally figured out how to get the truck back to MI. I wonder how long it will take them to get it back now that they know how to go about doing it.

I would agree and IMO I think that LE must have had to take a hard look at DS's finances right off the bat in this case to determine if he made any large cash withdrawals enough to cover gasoline costs from VA to MI, out of the ordinary check payments or bank transfers, and surely credit/debit card transactions not only in and around NN, but also between VA and MI during the timeframe in question.

I disagree, I don't think the MSP is engaged in a plan that involves knowing who did what and then just kicking back and waiting for the players to just come forward and confess to what they did "or else". MOO

 

[thinkaboutthis]

The times I've seen so far are 6:45 pm on Sunday for WalMart purchase, 9:30 am unabomber-doug pays lawyer bill, 8 pm (or shortly after) police call to NN.

I still think that LE grabbed the BG park pass because it is related to DS alibi for Sunday. Those parks have a lot of security cameras as well don't they? I would think that with the number of children that are running around at those places, they would have a ton of security cameras in place just in case some weirdo was there trying to walk out with someone they shouldn't be. IMO
