Michelle Young, pregnant mom, murdered Part 18

[raisincharlie]

Hi BB! Can you please tell us what they said?

Jilly,

I think BB is gone but there was nothing new. KG spoke with Marlon Walker of the N & O. They talked about the finding of the mallet and how it was near the end of the drive. It was turned in for testing but LE does not believe it is involved in the murder. They briefly mention the autopsy SNAFU but nothing specific. Same ole same ole except they keep repeating that JY was supposedly in Brevard at his parents when Michelle was murdered - wish they would have some desire to be accurate.

Jilly - if you have had kiddies - did you ever put little socks on their feet at night under their jammies that had little feet in them when it was cold ?

Thanks for the recap. I have small kids and I have put socks on them when using footie pjs. Both my girls have/had cold feet, plus we keep it around 65 in the house year round.

We did that with my boys when they were little as well - especially during the winter time. Seems to me a reasonable explaination of why LE might not have taken Cassidy's bloody socks - if she had footie pjs on I would bet those weren't left behind by LE. The socks wouldn't tell much about the scene other than that it was very bloody.

It would be nice alright!

Thanks for the recap. And no I never put them in socks with those pjs. We live in a mild climate and my dh always has the heat jacked up. Aside from those pjs being cute, I mainly had my kids wear them for my own peace of mind so they'd be ok when they kicked off the covers.

I'll bet you're right about this.
I could easily see Michelle giving Cass socks as well as the pjs considering the fact they had no heat.

Here is something that I have always wondered, has it been confirmed that the upstairs heat was actually not working? What if the killer turned it off in an attempt to disguse the TOD?

We have been told it was not working upstairs but...

Interesting and anything is possible.

I can imagine it - according to Weather Underground it dropped to 30 that night. Chilly for a baby in a room with no heat.

What a perfect time to put a pair of socks on your little girlie under her footie pajamas, with no heat in her bedroom! By Jove Charlie, I think you've got it LOL :hand: Here's a big High-5 for you~~


It makes such perfect sense, and I bet she had a T-shirt on under those jammies too.

What if they didn't test positive for blood? It was something when dried assumed to be blood? We also heard about the jelly beans and Lion King dvd, so who knows what Cassidy could've gotten into. If we're gonna be technical and say what looked like blood on Jason's SUV then for now we can give the bloody socks the same consideration. If they went in the trash guess we'll never know.

Great point! We actually do not know exactly what was done or what wasn't done (other than what's been verified by LE & in the news). Someone who is not and has never been in LE making assumptions based on what they have seen or what they didn't see at a crime scene should be taken with a grain of salt--IMO. Especially when those people who are making the assumptions have a main objective of not wanting JY to be arrested. A lot of the details that have been on the boards have been "released" by people whose main objective is keeping JY out of jail. And I think it's great to have those things to talk about, but we have no idea if any of the stuff is true or not. Or if spin was put on some things to point suspicion away from someone (or towards someone else) who those people want desperately to have not committed the crime. I think it's probably a natural reaction though. I've never been in the position of having someone I love or even know being a POI or suspect in someone's murder. I would imagine it's very difficult and your natural reaction would be to deny that anything really points to them. Now, I have had the experience of having someone totally turn out to be nothing like what you thought they were because they lied-that's why I have an ex-husband!!!!

Even though the what-ifs are good to talk about, I want to wait for a trial to see exactly what the truth is. I'll believe it when I see it!!!! (Of course, that doesn't mean I don't have opinions!)

Jake's surprise is in print this am.
Retired school teacher "Spencer Smith" is a pen name for JG

You know he always loves attention and this is his dream come true to shout all over Raleigh.

Thanks Barney, sound familiar?

from the above link:


"Although Jason Young's parents declined to talk about the crime, Smith, a retired teacher who has lived down the hill from the Young family for decades, spoke to The News & Observer with their permission.
Young loved his wife, Smith said, and was thrilled she was pregnant with their first son. "Obviously -- because he'd be in jail right now if he didn't -- Jason was able to prove where he was," Smith said. "It was physically impossible for him to have made that trip."


And then we know Jy hasn't spoken to LE but supposedly he has proven where he was ? Right -bwahahahhahahha

Also interesting from the article - "Sheriff's officials dismiss the notion they have focused on Jason Young to the exclusion of other possible suspects. "We haven't named a suspect," Sheriff Donnie Harrison said.
Johnson added: "And we have not eliminated anybody, either."

Clearly LE has indicated they do NOT have tunnel vision, yet at the top of the article "Jason Young's family wants to know why the sheriff's office is focusing on him instead of hunting for the killer."

If he refuses to talk to police, how do they know this??? This statement that is continually said sounds more to me like they are very upset the police dared to look at him at all. It's not an insult by the police for him to be looked at-it's basic police procedure!!!

 

[raisincharlie]

If we can believe Marlon:

http://www.newsobserver.com/102/story/571385-p2.html

Young was in New York when Powers gave birth to her daughter (July). Powers said Young stopped by the hospital, beaming with joy about the baby she was carrying. She had recently found out it was a boy, and had talked with her bosses at Progress Energy about taking a six-month leave of absence after he was born. Friends said Young planned to work fewer hours after her leave.



Pretty dramatic loss of income over 6 months. Not what we were lead to believe which was the later - reduction in hours.

 

[Barney Fife]

Smith said. "I think at this point, he sincerely hopes they find out who did it."

I'm glad Jason has finally decided it's ok to find out who did this.
I guess he didn't really want to know before ? Or was that before he sincerely convinced himself he did not do it ?

Hi, Bellgardin,

Don't you think it's about time for LE to give this case to new detectives who aren't afflicted with tunnel vision?

I can read what LE says about not being focused on one person. You read it, too, and believe it. Why?

Anybody can say anything, but that doesn't make it true. I'd like to see some evidence of that before I believe it.

By the way, tell rpd one of my favorite movies of all time is "Spencer's Mountain". In the end Spencer got the attention he craved.

That 6 month leave would cost Jason's life style around $40,000. Don't forget about the extra $400 + / mo for Day Care "if" she went back to work at all.

Finally, something I can agree with you on.
