He doesn't seem very credible to me. It doesn't make sense that the police would take the calls to the sister seriously and put a trace on them but blow him off when he supposedly received 30 calls.
And then he says he knows the house of the john she used to see on LI but the police never came so he just let it go? I don't buy it. JMHO of course
This nags at me too. Possibly the guy is full of it or the police just did a really terrible job or possibly there is information not released/being sat on. But I've never heard it mentioned that there was any follow-up on the boyfriend knowing where this person lived. That's the first question that popped into my mind upon hearing this piece of info a while ago...well, if he knew where the guy lived, did the police go out there and where was it and who was it and what happened? Curious to know the answer to those questions...
I, personally, think the guy is full of it, and was just puffing up for the press. Basically, making stuff up to increase his sense of self-importance to the public. He even states he became suspect #1, claiming he was being tailed by LE (
link ). Yeah, ok. Whatever.
Moreover, as I've previously pointed out, he claims the caller was an "
older white guy," yet alleges the caller stated, "
I know where you be at." (
link ) That vernacular does not fit a middle aged white man in any way whatsoever.
And finally, the caller, who was using the victim's (
Melissa Barthelemy & Maureen Brainard-Barnes) phones, seemed to be targeting the victim's female family members (
link ).
Btw, and aside, for those of you who are certain CPH is our culprit, recall, he not only spoke with Shannan's mother but called her sister, as well. (
link ) Which is arguably consistent with the killer's contact with other victim's family members. What is inconsistent is the lack of taunt.
Nonetheless, focusing purely upon the calls to Melissa's sister, we can infer this guy is someone who is a coward. Someone who tries to use intimidation tactics with what he considers to be the "
weaker" of the sexes. And, of course, his taunting the sister, drawing things out, stringing her along, describing what he was doing to Melissa, before finally telling the sister that Melissa was gone, lands him squarely in the category of a sexual sadist.
Within this context, the allegations that he called the pimp, even if only once, is totally out of character, and therefore makes the pimp's story implausible, and likely, imho, a self-aggrandizing fabrication. This, of course, is jmo.
That aside, CM Jr. certainly fits the profile.
Then again, istr another individual who completely fit the profile, to a tee, in the case of drowned male college students. (
link ) Then again Timothy Bindner also fit the profile, to a tee, of the perp abducting young girls in the SF Bay area. So much so, Fairfield LE actually named him as prime suspect, and were subsequently sued for defamation of character. (
link )
All things considered, , CM Jr. may very well be more bark than bite. The biggest strike against him is how blatant he is and has been. Even so, I do hope LE takes a closer look to at the very least, rule him in/out.
