Poll: Should LP accept 200K for Search

[PaperMoon]

I guess that would be the etc part of the post. :crazy:
IIRC, a searcher with TES did post photo's of one of the searches.

If that's the case then they were not following the rules.

LP 'really' believed Caylee was in the landfill after being tossed in two different dumpsters.

LP 'really' believed that Caylee was in the woods out by the airport.

LP 'really' believed that Caylee wasn't deceased.

There is no more indication that Caylee is in BP than in any of those other places.

So it is a good thing it is an investor funding Leonard's search.

People can donate to TES searches in other places instead of wasting funds with LP because they are LP fans.

LP's divers are not interfering with or harming other efforts. Nobody will be forced to watch the resulting documentary...IF one even gets made. It is not as IF the media doesn't already have plenty of video already from this case (or as if there won't be books written afterwards).

Who won't watch Casey's trial if it is on IS, despite the advertisers????

 

[Coley]

TES has found many items that were sent for testing. Can you list them?

I'm not going to list speculation. Until LE confirms something then I can answer.

Mahalia Xiong, a 21-year-old UW-Green Bay student. I watched as her car was pulled out of canal (she was inside). We waited on news for weeks until she was finally found. We were sad she was gone, but glad her family finally had some answers as to what happened to her as we spent many hours going over her case.

This was on a live feed. Did it ruin the integrity of her missing investigation? No. Did it take away from LE finding her? No. Did we care that the television stations that day made money off finding her? No. We cared that Mahlia was no longer under the murky water and could be given a proper resting place.

What is really important here?!

 

[impatientredhead]

I agree totally. I don't care who or how it is funded or even if it is funded, if they will keep searching.

I doubt anyone would have objections if it were TES. They didn't in Aruba.

TES sold exclusive film rights when looking for Natalie? Must have missed that cause I would feel exactly the same way about it.

Really how much would it cost to search the river, that is where he is positive she is, right? My husband and many of his friends are advanced divers, they have never been paid to go out and search. They volunteer just like the ground searchers. There is a teamleader and organization, but other than being there, and really there is no reason for LP to be there for a river search unless he has picked up some diving skills this week. Florida is a local that I would think contacting the local dive shops could find you the leaders that you need and the additional divers that you need. You can't put many i the water at a time anyway as it kicks up silt and destroys the visibility. We have seen on this board alone that food and water for the searchers would be picked up. TES did sonar, and everyone said it was useless, so no need to bring that in.

If everyone just really wants this done it doesn't require 200K and exclusive film rights to search that designated spot, it just doesn't.

 

[Athinker2]

I vote yes. IMO Mr LP is sincere in finding Caylee so she is provided w/a proper burial and he will stop at nothing till KC is convicted. He knows she is evil.

 

[bunnyphoenix1]

Good divers cost money. Swimming around with alligators is a little bit dangerous.

Irregardless, Caylee's body needs to be found. If Leonard's divers find her...I will be grateful.

If a member of TES finds her I will be grateful.

I thank any and all for their hard work and efforts.

OOOPPPSSS. You accidentally attributed Baznme's post to me! I agree with you, though I'm grateful to Baznme for her heroic selfless efforts to find Caylee!

 

[impatientredhead]

LOL!

The only feeling I got at seeing that unfold was that LE was totally embarrassed that they didn't have the foresight to assign an officer to the area in the event that something WAS found.

They came barging in whining that the media was there doing what the media does.... reporting.

Late to the party & in a pissy mood.

LE cannot and shouldn't have to assign an officer to every search team. The behavior of the searchers should not require onsite supervision.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

There is no more indication that Caylee is in BP than in any of those other places.

Yes! There is! Because it came from the perp in her interviews, taped conversations, and other things the perp mentioned in relation to that specific location. This cannot be denied and did not come from just one person. She weaved JB Park into almost every lie she told from Day 31. It is a viable location to search.

 

[Chilly Willy]

I'm not going to list speculation. Until LE confirms something then I can answer.

I think you've missed my point. You said that regardless of who does the searching it will all get out in the media. Obviously that is not the case with TES.

People certainly had no problem with speculating about what LP found. Now some people don't even believe LE when they say he found nothing. Is that a good thing?

 

[bunnyphoenix1]

The other day while LP and divers were at JB Park and they brought up the bag with the toys in it. It was all caught on film. We were all glued to our TV sets watching them sift through the debris while they searched through the "mirk" for what we thought were bones. That was all done through the love and leadership of LP and his divers. It would be just like that day. What more could they do with $200,000?

So you think she's better off being left to rot??? Do you not think the press would have had cameras there if they were TES or LE divers?? They had helicopters flying over and mobile media vans everywhere when TES was searching.

I got the same impression........LE can be a little pissy when they are not out front in something. I noticed the FBI took the "rocks"..............that was interesting. (I am not sure that FBI guy was not there before they found that) I thought I saw him earlier.

That could be the problem as locals don't like the FBI in "their business" sometimes.

 

[Busylady]

I do not know if LE is actively searching or not, but during the press conference after the bag was discovered at JBP the officer said if LE received a credible tip they would resume searching. I interpreted that as they are not actively searching, they are sitting around waiting for a tip.

This just all seems like an ego thing to me and its really sad and petty. I do not care if TES, LP, LE, or someone walking there dog finds Caylee I just want her found. I would think because Tim has such a passion for what he does and understands what it is like to not know where you loved one is, that he would welcome anyone who was willing to go out and search, not just "members" of TES and IMO that is the message Tim is sending by putting down other groups that are searching and I am not speaking of just LPs group but other groups as well and saying only professionals should be searching.

 

[Chilly Willy]

According to LP, she mentioned BP 8 times. Let's count how many times she mentioned Sawgrass. If it's 9, lets move the search to there. Let's count how many times she mentioned Tony's apartment - 10? Pack up the searchers!

Just my opinion, of course, but the place Casey hasn't mentioned - that's the location of little Caylee's remains.

 

[TURBOTHINK]

TES was certainly not "inconspicuous' in their search........The media was all over the place and the only one I saw not allowed was Murt, which I thought was silly too.

 

[bunnyphoenix1]

No, actually...I don't know why. People every day beg for television or print media to cover their missing in any way to bring attention to their plight to encourage others to become involved in any effort to find them. The more people who are out there...the better the chances become of finding Caylee.

I do applaud anyone and everyone who is spending time looking for her! I want more people with boots on the ground now. I want more people in the water searching, diving, and digging in silt. I want more people on television getting more people out there! I want Caylee found. Period!

I feel the same. And I don't care if people are looking because a reward or some other financial incentive is being offered, or what their motivation is....I just want her found. If it was me dumped somewhere, I'd be trying to coax LP from the afterlife to take the money and keep trying to find me to ensure the person who killed me paid for their crime. I do believe Casey, if found not guilty, is a real risk to children and Caylee may only be the 1st of her children to disappear.

Tim did not make a spectacle of himself and call out the helicopters. What was he supposed to do, shoot them down? TES found many things and sent them for testing. The media didn't capture any of that on film.

 

[TURBOTHINK]

LE cannot and shouldn't have to assign an officer to every search team. The behavior of the searchers should not require onsite supervision.

I watched the entire thing. Search protocol was followed exactly. I don't know what the darn problem is here.

Yep, Chilly...I think you're onto something. Go look at the last page of KC's written statement to LE. To me, there's a clue right there.

 

[LeLe1953]

TES has found many items that were sent for testing. Can you list them?

Nope, because those items have not had pictures released to the media, nor have they spoken about what they found. There is no point until you know for sure.
