Short time on death row?

Does anyone know if the bridge where they found her shoe was one that he would have crossed to have to go to his house or was it part of a main highway? Does anyone think it is possible that she was able to get her shoe off and threw it out the window like a clue? I am really trying to be optimistic here. Another possibility I have been toying with is if maybe as he was cleaning the car he found her shoe in the back seat and needed to get rid of it. Or possibly, he put it there so that if they found it there, they would concentrate in that area rather than where she really is. I pray that she is still alive. This is so heartbreaking. It makes it even worse since the holidays are here. I am hoping for a Christmas Miracle.

Information on the unsealed warrants.

Interesting about the garage floor....."Investigators also took swabs of ``apparent blood'' from the garage floor."

Short time on death row?

Five years of highly structured death row and then execution versus the rest of his life in a country club with no threat of execution because he is in an 'old fogies' prison where he is the oldest lag.

So is her family, but he used her body right away and then he disposed of it in some place where it was not likely to be found.

Do you suppose this might mean that Dru was in AR's garage?
OMG...
Where was the Mother then???
OMG
And, he even had plastic gloves...what for?
OMG
This is getting AWFUL, isn't it.
OMG
But, there the SOB sits...with all of his *rights*...he thinks he is in the catbird seat, doesn't he.
Maybe it would be good if they let him have recreation with the General Population...sounds fair to me!

I'm sorry toth, I'm not sure I've ever heard of anyone being executed withing 5 years of being on deathrow. I think right now it's at about 13-15 years. Anywhoodles I think that is way too long and I think most of the SOB's on death row need to fry much faster. I say let em all hold hands and fry at once. Now that would make it a much shorter time on deathrow.

I'm not sure starpatch. I've never heard of any results coming back about the blood in the garage. Only heard confirmed reports of the blood in the car.

Where did you read about the plastic gloves. (did i skip it in the article i reported?)

I don't think he should have any rights. I think once you commit such a horrible crime you lose all rights. If he's not talking then make sure he's not talking b/c he CAN'T not just b/c it's his right. There's evidence out there to show that Dru was in his car the needs to talk.

I'm trying to think of a scenario of how this all happened.
Parking lot at mall to ???? then he went home (was she there?) then what?

 

[LvsAMystry]

So that article says that his mother placed him at home around 8:15 p.m. This is a very short timeframe after Dru's boyfriend got that last call at around 8ish of dead air and numbers being pushed. It's bothered me to think that it may have been Dru hurt and weak trying to get help but unable to, and if these times are correct and they haven't located the phone, then it really was either her or wherever he put her isn't too far from his home.

It is so sad that Dru's family and friends must go thru this ordeal of not knowing her whereabout. AR could end this torture for Dru's family by just speaking. I'm sure he does feel in control of the situation but even without Dru he will be tried on the evidence pointing to his guilt and convicted. IMHO

Hi Everyone!

Rachael and Bailey, I agree this slimeball and poor excuse for a man has been taken care of by our taxes the better part of 30 years, I heard today, and is still being supported by the public. I think it is despicable as well.

But we have to be intelligent and look at this from another viewpoint. If our officers subjected him to torture or drugs therapy to get the truth out of him, with our approval, we would be lowered to his level and be just like him.

In making sure his rights are protected we also protect our own rights, and that is the difference between democracy and a dictatorship. We know the bottom line is we want to protect our rights to the fullest advantage for all.

Now don't you worry a bit about what's going to come around for Alohonso. For one thing, he took her across the state line. The FBI is involved in the case and they can charge him with murder and add the special circumstance of crossing the state line to give him the death penalty, which is not available normally in North Dakota.

He'll do short time in a Federal prison IMHO, and bet ya he doesn't last too long there before the inmates sock it to him! I also know that there are many guards like this, even in State prisons, where the guards will send guys into a cell to do a guy in. I think that is what happened to that pedaphile priest not long ago. I know for a fact this is a problem in Salem, Oregon's state prison, and LE does nothing about it. The guards there also make a lot of money selling cigarettes and drugs as well - I am still in shock to learn this about my own state.

I checked out San Quentin's death row this morning, where Scott will probably go. It is ungodly miserable. I see no luxuries there, just cold hearted agony for those behind the old mesh and iron doors.

Hi!

This afternoon of Fox I heard a report that they have found blood and hair evidence on his Mom's garage floor.

Do you think he took her there? I bet his clothes were bloody and he took them off in the garage and changed before he went into the house.

[Toth]

I think it was a small amount of blood in the garage such as might be from an object he removed while cleaning out the trunk.
Not from the corpse. Why bring that home?

 

[Casshew]

Toth.. can you be any less tactful?

 

[starpatch]

Turbo..you asked...Where did you read about the plastic gloves. (did i skip it in the article i reported?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was in the same article.....I am sooooooooo angry.

 

[Yakwoman]

What really frosts my cupcakes is that AR is continuing to deny having anything to do with her disappearance - even with all this physical evidence coming out! AGRHHH!

 

[Doyle]

He is not like you and I Yakwoman..

His needs are the most important thing... to him that is...

More important then Dru's needs...
and now more import than Dru's family's needs.

His needs are what drives him.. Now his need is to be found not guilty so he doesn't go to prison.

He is not capable of living in society.

 

[mindys]

Why bring her back to the home someone asked above. Because these sicko's often will hold on to a prize, the prize - the victim, or an article of their clothing or piece of jewelry, for sometime after the crime. That was his 'safe' place, obviously no one else's.

This is just a nightmare what happened to Dru.

God Bless the searcher's and family today. Bring Her Home.

If he admits it and reveals where the body is, he gets the death penalty. Why should he admit it? After he is convicted, he will brag about it, but not now.

Said they didn't have any problems with getting them..... How nice.
