I remember reading an article such as that. One has to feel bad for that fellow, I am sure he is guilt ridden and terribly upset with himself. The poor guy is going to think about it for the rest of his life - very sad. I bet that whole town will be on alert for some time to come. I think people should rely a bit more on their instincts, sometimes when something is nagging at you, there's a reason.
Its odd, we live out in the country and there is an elderly neighbor couple up at the corner of the highway and the lane. Everytime the Mrs. sees a car turn down the lane she does not know she waits a bit and then calls. She's done this for years. At first I have to say it was a bit annoying, then I got tickled at her, now I think it's not such a bad thing. The good thing is if anyone turns into her drive she does not know - she calls as well and won't open the door. Sure does make one think.
I tend to look out for my neighbors like this, too. I wonder if it was normal for there to be strange cars in the Stinnetts' driveway, since Bobbie sold puppies? Maybe that was why Chris Law didn't go...he felt it was probably a puppy sale, and he didn't want to intrude? I agree he is going to feel badly for the rest of his life...every time he looks at their house across the street. The thing about a strangulation murder is, there is no opportunity for the victim to scream if taken by surprise, which Bobbie was, because she was strangled from behind. If she'd been able to let out a bloodcurdling scream, maybe Chris would have heard...
Part of me hopes that this does go to trial...there are so many unanswered questions...how did Moonbat get out of the house with that baby without being seen?? The houses on the street seem to be set very close together. How did she clean the baby up enough to be presentable to her family? How was there not blood in the car that someone didn't notice??? One thing that I would love to know, but likely will never know because the only person who truly knows is Bobbie...what did she think when she opened the door to the woman she thought was "Darlene", and it was the Moonbat, Lisa, whom the other rat terrier posters said Bobbie was wary of, anyway?? Shouldn't that have been a huge tipoff that something was amiss?? What the heck did LM say to Bobbie to convince her to let LM inside?? The woman from the message board who helped the FBI trace Lisa b/c she was universally known as a liar and a fruitcake on the board told LE that Bobbie wouldn't have let Lisa Montgomery into her house, much less sold her one of her beloved puppies...so that makes me wonder if Bobbie had ever connected the "face" of Lisa Montgomery with the name, KWIM? Maybe the whole time she believed she was dealing with "Darlene" and never knew any different?? What was the lag time between Lisa arriving at the house and being admitted by BJS, and the murder?? Chris Law told LE that Moonbat's red car was parked at Bobbie's house from approximately 12:30-2:30 pm...that totally goes against what Becky Harper, Bobbie's mom, said...she said she was talking to Bobbie at around 2:30 when Bobbie told her the person coming to look at the puppy had just arrived and she had to go...if what Chris says is true, why was she there for 2 hours?? Was she visiting with BJS, trying to get up enough nerve to kill her?? Did she go through with the ruse of looking at the puppies, and if so, why would that take 2 hours? Did Chris see Lisa, possibly, sitting in front of BJS' house, at 12:30 but maybe Lisa didn't go in at the time and drove away...and Chris didn't look again until 2:30 when Lisa finally had just arrived again and gone inside?? Definitely Chris will be a witness, I am sure.
I hope, too, that at some point when the trial, if there is one, is going on, that perhaps we will get to hear from Zeb and Becky and other family members...I have thought about them so much...I know they are in seclusion now and taking care of Tory and trying to find way to go on without Bobbie...but I hope, like Sharon Rocha, they will speak out soon, or at least when the trial happens.
