Why I explored Darin first is because Darlie is already in jail. My why is WHY.
Why would Darin or Darlie have motive. I have never believed the WHY Toby put out I knew her too well, her mom knew her too well , her sisters and other friends didn't buy it either. I realized from watching the interaction of posters how one side would never concede a piece of ground to the other. Each side accusing, blaming, defending.
The prosecution was wrong no the defense was wrong. Each side accusing the other of fabrications until frustration led to anger . Anger to denial everyone ignoring the other until I imagine more than once someone had to go to the "Parking Lot".
I am an Optician and it has been my job to assist people in seeing. I also wear glasses so realizing that putting some of the principles of guess who jogged my mind. It was YOU not what you said but your tag line by George Bishop Berkley. His Essay Towards a Theory of New Vision
is considered one of the pioneer theories in the science of OPTICS. It is still used and accepted today.
Like a light from above I realized Darlie Kee had discovered new and compelling evidence, the police had compelling evidence, both sides did not contradict each other anymore when I saw the final 2 clues that tied the everything together for me. I think both sides have been 1 eye blind.
Let me explain some optics first.
There is a condition referred to as 1 eye blind in laymans terms. One eye has much better vision than the other, the brain knows this and tends to IGNORE totally any image coming from the other side. No you don't lose TOTALLY the peripheral vision on the bad side just a little bit of it, the brain simply fills in the blanks using assumptive knowledge gained from the use of the good eye.
When the eye processes the information and sends the signals to the brain it passes upside down then is made correct and whole( right side up) in the perception part of vision.
A common cause of this 1 eye blindness is known as astigmatism in one eye only. The image the eye gets does not hit on the correct part of the optic nerve, Light, the transmitter of images falls too far to the left, right, high, or low, depending on how bad the astigmatism is and its exact location on the front part of the eye. The eye is no longer perfectly round it tends to flatten out becoming football shaped that is astigmatism. E- GADS A NEW THEORY OCCURRED in my head.
I still had possibilities but me -no longer a closed mind to one side only.
We were all held hostage by 2 important missing pieces of the puzzle. They look unimportant at first but if you converge the two pieces and let your brain process the information then you will see why I think these two pieces are very important. Both theories rely on the 2 missing pieces and either 1 image is upside down or right side up. Our perceptions are what will tell us which is more likely correct.
I know it is hard to understand (the optics part) how I came to this conclusion so I'll make it simple.... marry Toby's story to Darlie Kee's and we fill in the blank area using both eyes or both stories, the very small area we couldn't see because of being 1 eye blind (the peripheral area the eye couldn't see, - the fight and the scam). One side withheld information just like having astigmatism in one eye only causes 1 eye blindness.
Read both theories carefully 1 could be correct the other is upside down.
Both rely on the human nature of dealing with loss, pain and the relationship each had with the other.
I went for Darin first also because his denial of her guilt and his refusal to get a divorce despite Darlie's request even 12 years after the murders made him a better suspect, in LIGHT of the new info. Forgive this last pun.
Use what you know each side is better at, The prosecution had better science, Darlie Kee knew her daughters behavior better and the motive put forth has kept her from seeing and others as well. The science didn't see some of the other side because it couldn't fill in a small part of the blank because information was falling just in that small area it couldn't fill in, it had to use assumptive perception.
Since I'm a hunter and an optician, a shot close enough to fatally wound is not dead on and I want a dead on theory that doesn't leave the animal running bleeding. One shot dead on the ground right there no having to track a wounded beast, or the patient anything less than 20/20 with a full field of peripheral. I expect this kind of perfection in my hobbies and my job.
The only shot or pair of glasses I could make was these theories.
My only problem is I see two bucks in the field, or I have double vision. As I requested before can someone look objectively at both theories and tell me using the crime scene evidence, the testimony from both sides who looks like the better suspect. If Darlie is it then nothing needs to be done and I'll shut up.:behindbar
If Darin looks like the better suspect than I'll shut up too cause I suspect he lurks here and he lives in the same town as I do.

I'm :chicken:.
