[prayerbone]

Ok going by this document http://leahfreeman.com/affidavid_727.pdf

The boyfriend's weed buddies state hes left them to pick up Leah , hes driving the Mustang , they also state that they later see him in a Thunderbird..

We know that the boyfriend drove to Leahs friend at approximately 9.05..

He then states he drove around looking for Leah..

He then visits Leahs sisters place of work between 9.15-9.30...

He is then seen by various witness in a Thunderbird , one witness states between 9-10 another states after dark (which police estimate as around 9.45)

Its clear that between leaving Leah's sister at 9.15 / 930 he changed cars , i think its fair to say he couldn't of physically changed the car intill after visiting Leah's sister, it seems odd in of itself that he felt the need to changes cars odder still when we consider Leah was last seen at 9.15...But what struck me as odder he changes cars again

http://leahfreeman.com/affidavid_727.pdf page 9

He is pulled over by LE at 10.30 now back in his Mustang... Soooooooooo in roughly a 1 hr period i.e leaving Leah's sister 9.15/30 to being pulled over at 10.30 he as swapped cars TWO times...Cory explained that to drive out and back to swap cars is roughly 15 min , that means of the hr he took 30 mins driving/swapping cars...The only other explanation is someone drove one to him or had one parked close... To me thats strange , taking into account his final words to Leah's sister "he had to go he had someone in the car" even stranger...

I'm not saying this young man did this crime , but at the very least he as appeared vague in his police statments , maybe theres a reason but why not tell the police ...She was your GF , surely you want this crime solved as much as anyone

The sneakers are very odd, I think it was the one the man found (Left) that had the blood on it. I have to say praybone I do find that odd that a man would stop to pick it up thinking it maybe one of his kids. Most men don't even pick up their own shoes and to stop the car get out seems very odd to me. Just something most men would not do. To put a twist on this, could it have been his wife seen the sneaker in his car and then he said OOO I found that last night? I do hope the police checked out his story of working that night, just looking at all angles here, but it keeps coming back to the LD test.

I am sure there is no signed agreement from BB if there was they would have enough to make an arrest. It would really help if the police would tell the exact cause of death, I think if the police let up on Nick and BB after Leah was found then it could be they were wrong on putting all the focus on them from the beginning. I would really like to know if Nick and BB are still friends? It would seem Nick would want to have him as a life time friend. Funny how things come around both boys having daughters, at what age do you think they will start letting them date?

Cory, you were blessed with a beautiful daughter and she was blessed with an enduring mother that has so much love. I can only imagine how much you miss her and how much your heartaches for her, please keep in your heart that it is the living that live with the pain, Leah is at peace. ((((mother hugs))))

I just don't think that the man who found the shoe was involved... if he had been, then why turn in the shoe and draw attn to himself? that doesn't make any sense... up until that point when he approached LE, he was anonymous, and most likely would have remained that way had he not turned in the shoe. I do NOT understand how the shoes ended up 12 mi. apart, and her shirt at BB's grandparents... Since we don't have docs (grrr), Cory, do you know what items of clothing she was found with. That perplexes me that so many different articles of clothing were found scattered all over the county...

Not for sure. Again, the condition of her body has never been explained to me. I have asked if she was fully dressed and was told that informaiton could not be released. Noone has ever said that the shirt that was at BB's Grandparents was in fact Leah's. Just that it fit the description of the one she was wearing. It was a white wife beater (that's what the kids called them) or tank top if you will. I still believe it should have been picked up by LE.
I also don't believe the man who found the shoe was involved. That doesn't make sense to me either.

Really Julie? You don't think there could be a signed agreement? I have had a suspicion there may be. Him and his attorney surely wouldn't want anyone to know about it. It would certainly explain their finding her body the day before the Grand Jury. And it would explain how they "stumbled upon" her after 5 long weeks of searching. I don't know. May be not. You may be right.

Yeah...I wonder at what age they will allow their daughters to date....probably not 15.

Julie, your last paragraph dropped my face into my hands. I am still sobbing. That was a BEAUTIFUL thing to say and I want you to know I will remember your words. I WAS blessed with a beautiful daughter and I do appreciate the 15 years I did have her in my life. I just miss her sooo much. There are no words that will ever express juat how much. Thank you so very much.

And IF he wants this crime solved as much as anyone....why did he go away after her funeral? Why did he lie to me? Why did he lie to LE? Why does he NOT attend candlelight vigils to remember his Girlfriend? Why did he have new girlfriends so soon after Leah was found? And the list goes on and on and on.

Hi all

If you find mistakes in my timeline please let me know! I spent many, many hours on it, and I know my head was spinning when it was done!

 

[Kimster]

Hello Cory! Please forgive me for not returning in so long. In the meantime, I met another mom here on WS who's daughter and granddaughter are still missing since 2004...another case of the BF did it :-( and LE didn't take it seriously at first, thus losing precious information from the beginning :-( ~ If you ever get a chance to meet her, her hat is KHolloway.

Cory, do you have any interaction with LE? Do they meet with you to discuss the case?

And Prayerbone, what a great idea providing the links of places to write! Do you mind if I copy and paste them on the Wix thread as well? I will write all of those resources for Leah. It is my belief that media attention cracks cases! I pray for more media in this case!

{{{HUGS}}} and prayers. Feel free to PM me anytime if you need me to write anyone else!

 

[Kimster]

OH! One more thing! Cory, would it help if I asked the local Eugene media to showcase Leah? I'm not even sure if you guys get the Eugene channels or not?

Hi Kimster!!
Hey don't apologize....I hadn't been her in a looong time either!!
Someone else is on here who has lost a child? And a Grandchild?? Oh my God! So, do we know if they are still alive or what? I'm asuming that since they have been missing since 04 they presume not. Shoot! Thats 5 years!

Naw not much interaction with LE. Usually only when I go there to cry and throw my fits like I do!
I don't know that the Eugene media would help much. But yes we do get their channel here.

 

[Cory Courtright]

Ok Kimster....I sent her a pm. Hope she responds! I would love to hear her story.

 

[Kimster]

Yes, it is terrible! This poor woman lost both her daughter and granddaughter and at first LE believed the POI BF who said they were last seen in a FOUR DOOR Mustang! Oh yeah, HE'S CREDIBLE! LE now believes they are deceased, but according to KHolloway, it took TWO YEARS. They have not found their bodies...they believe they are somewhere on the family's property - a large compound in Tenn. VERY SAD!!! She has a difficult time meeting with LE also which is why I asked! She's also had a lot of interaction with the family on Topix...they were blasting her and her daughter and then suddenly most of the thread disappeared. Another mystery!

I don't know how you can handle see the BF at all, I really don't! How does the rest of your town treat him and his family?

 

[Kimster]

Ok Kimster....I sent her a pm. Hope she responds! I would love to hear her story.

OH GOOD! She is on vacation right now and may not get it until next week or so...not sure how long she is gone. I'll email her too and let her know just in case! I'd love for the two of you to chat! Your posts remind me of her and how she feels...

 

[Kimster]

Okay, I sent her an email! {{{HUGS}}} and my prayers for Leah will go up over and over again! JUSTICE FOR LEAH!!!

OMG! How sad! No nothing?? That reminds me of a young boy who went missing from a town called Myrtle Point, Oregon (9 miles from here) - I don't remember the year but he has been missing for 22 or 23 years now.....never have found him either. Very sad story too. So, she has problems with LE there too? Will they not tell her anything? Or do they just not really know anything?

I haven't seen him for 8 or 9 months now. I understand he has just recently (like a month or six weeks ago) move out of Oregon. Great! Now I don't have to look at him anymore. He makes me sick to my stomach.

Thank you so much Kimster! I appreciate your thoughts and prayers AND letting me know about kholloway. So nice to know people like you are out there!

 

[prayerbone]

Chicago no problems with the timelines at all !!! Just problems with the DUMBO reading the pdfs i.e me , there a bit confusing , and i read some info the wrong way round...My last post about him swapping his car 2x is exact though...

Someone mentioned they didn't think it was odd him changing his car , because he was worried about being pulled over , BUT why does it appear hes only worried about being pulled over between 9-10 ??? Hes back in the Mustang by 10.30 and IS pulled by the LE ...I'm sorry but thats totally suspicous ,he spent 30 mins driving around changing cars in the most important hr of Leah's life , rather then spend it looking for her??? Give me a breakkkkk...


Cory i was being slightly sarcastic about him , i think he's totally guilty of something that night , just not sure where we stand saying that on a public arena...
