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

Just a coincidence, Puf. Plus, I thought everyone would want to see where MI's finest detective, aka the lady at the Dollar Store works.

Hahaha! See if you can get an exclusive interview with her.

I have thought about calling her, actually lol. This case is either gonna have me arrested by homeland security or locked up in the loony bin if something doesn't happen soon.

I thought they were looking for someone who did a poor enough job at impersonating DS that LE could tell by the videos...but you think the person or multiple persons on the multiple videos all look exactly like DS down to the height, build, facial features, mannerisms, etc? That would be amazing to find one, let alone multiple DS-lookalikes who could pull that off. Interesting though...

No, I think they look similar, not exactly alike, which is why I suggested looking for someone who looks like the person in those pictures, rather than looking for the person in those pictures.

Too funny! After you get through interviewing her, ask her when Tide goes on sale.

It's a unicorn!

So in a town of only around what? 1000 people? Someone else has one of these very rare grey, 4-door, Dodge Ram, pickups? I wonder if there are also other white males who squat in Colon? Weird. Maybe this truck is a DS created clone too.

Okay, I will ask her too if she can beat Wal-Marts Roll Back Prices on a Murder Kit, too.

What's the photo supposed to be? I don't get it.

Doug's truck is in Newport News impound, as the car is.

Don't get why a photo of some random Ram in Colon matters.

We also know that Doug Stewart is at his parent's home in Michigan,yet they are interested in finding another one or more of him in Newport News. A random 4-door Dodge Ram in the same color as what the POI vehicle is, in a tiny little town...I'm sure Doug's defense attorney would think it less random. Just speculation though and only my own opinions of course.

It's not the same color.

 

[thinkaboutthis]

It's not the same color.

You are right, IIRC most of the news stories said light grey, this just appears to be grey. Plus no built-in driver urination apparatus and no personal short order cook stove in the back. MOO

Still have the tire impressions thinkaboutthis. We'll see what his defense attorney thinks about those.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

No need for a short order cook IMO.
A trip through McDonald's drive takes all of abut 5 minutes. Does not take much time away from the timeline IMO.

ETA: and we really don't know the exact timeline since LE did not SEE DS at his apartment at 8:00. Someone answered his phone at around 8:00.

Are you talking about the tire impressions which "appear" to match, but have not been confirmed by LE? On the tires that LE has not been able to get delivered to Michigan for a month? As tire impressions go, I'd think his defense attorney would think it's all good at this point. Maybe LE likes being able to say they "appear to match" because it helps them with probable cause for warrants to make searches and investigate. If they rushed the tires to the MSP lab and found out they didn't match up, they wouldn't have that to use to possibly place DS at the scene that morning.

I have faith they will match. That's all I'm saying. I'd like to see what the defense attorney will do with that.

 

[spamelope]

Does anyone know if driving an extra 700 miles would change some of the markings on tires?

Great question!
I would think that if he ran over some sort of debris it may.
I don't know.

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.

Again, Doug's attorney is thrilled.

 

[Calliope]

Defense attorney: "Lt. Risko, why did you transport the truck on a trailer?"

Risko: “We needed it for the tires and we didn't want to cause any further tire wear driving it back."

Defense attorney: "And why would that be a concern?"

*pause*

Risko: D'oh!!!

 

[Kimberlyd125]

The tires could still have marks that are on the tires from hitting debris that have happened since the tires were put on that truck. They will only match up to the impressions if they are the tires.
Also, I'm sure there are forensic teams that do this all the time. They will be able to say for sure if these are the tires that were across from VS's parents house that day. I'm sure they take into consideration the tires were used an additional 700 miles since DS took his wife.

It's not JUST the amount of wear.
