Skyla Whitaker, 11, & Taylor Placker 13 - Found Murdered - #12

[oceanblueeyes]

I noticed that what he was convicted of is rape by instrumentation. I'm having a hard time figuring out what this is. I automatically thought of sodomy but I don't think that's what this is. Anyone enlighten me?

1111.1 RAPE BY INSTRUMENTATION.

"Rape by instrumentation is an act within or without the bonds of matrimony in which any inanimate object or any part of the human body, note amounting to sexual intercourse is used in the carnal knowledge of another person without his or her consent and penetration of the anus or vagina occurs to that person. Provided, further, that at least one of the circumstances specified in Section 1111 of this title has been met."

§21-1114.

A. Rape in the first degree shall include:

1. rape committed by a person over eighteen (18) years of age upon a
person under fourteen (14) years of age; or

2. rape committed upon a person incapable through mental illness or
any unsoundness of mind of giving legal consent regardless of the age
of the person committing the crime; or

3. rape accomplished with any person by means of force, violence, or
threats of force or violence accompanied by apparent power of
execution regardless of the age of the person committing the crime; or

4. rape by instrumentation resulting in bodily harm is rape by
instrumentation in the first degree regardless of the age of the
person committing the crime; or

5. rape by instrumentation committed upon a person under fourteen (14)
years of age.

B. In all other cases, rape or rape by instrumentation is rape in the
second degree.

I believe his victim was under the age of 14. I think that is why he is rated a Level III due to the severity of the rape by instrumentation.

I wonder if he was married back then and if it was maybe a family member.

Who cares?

I know...errr.
Hopefully, we'll hear something soon.
Didn't he say (before he left), that Byrd was to meet with a judge today at
3pm CDT??

Yes he did. I hope he comes back but I wouldn't blame him if he didn't.

I bet the Judge will delay the decision whether he is going back to prison for violating his conditions in order to give OSBI ample time to try and interrogate him. Although they can detain him for 48 hours for questioning irrc.

I just found this information at VINELink. Byrd, was bonded out today.

Could someone check, also, to make sure I am right?

I'm dying to know where this Byrd arrest leads. I hope SM comes back..or at least comes here to post!
I don't think SM from was making this up...I believe every thing he said.
Call me naive, but his story has the ring of truth to it. Isn't that what Hemingway said? Truth has a certain ring to it!

Yes, he was let go today.
I guess they aren't too interested in him, or else they'd keep him for questioning.

He was picked up, though..just like the poster on Topix said.

Back to the drawing board, Ocean??

 

[little726]

Ok. Thanks. I had not read it anywhere.

No, thank you!! You're the first person to bring this information the board. We were wondering what became of his arrest, and if they were holding him..etc.

 

[hannahsnana]

I looked at the other forum (don't post there anymore). SamtheSuperCop told Steven Michael that he maybe shouldn't post there for the time being, and then in another post told SM he was going to call him. It appears that SamtheSuperCop wants SM to talk to him only.

Well I just be darn.

He sure looked like the POI.

Maybe his lawyer fought it and said they had nothing to hold him on and he refused to talk to LE. Maybe being registered is not such a big deal. It sure would be to me though.

But that doesn't mean that OSBI can't pick him up at anytime.

When did Steven Michael say they arrested him? How long would it take the OSBI in charge of this case to get to him?

The warrant for William Henry Byrd was issued 6/2/08

[evelyn24]

Thanks busylady. Yea, he failed to contact them and there was a warrant issued. The warrant definitelty is not related to Taylor and Skyla's murder, but I think that was a given.
Warrants are issued immediately when the person doesn't contact them every 90 days, correct?

 

[Busylady]

Im not sure the number of days, on the sex offender registry it shows his address was verified 5/5/08 so I am not sure why 6/2 a warrant was issued? Maybe because he wasnt living where he said he was on 5/5/08?

If I can remember correctly, SM said WB was arrested early this morning by SM and his officers at the request of the federal marshals who supposedly told him OSBI wanted to question WB.
Also, WB was to be seen by the judge at 3pm CDT, according to SM.
I have no other details.

That's probably the case. It's possible someone tried to contact him for some reason and discovered he moved and a warrant is automatically issued.
I have no clue at this point what the deal is with this guy.
If I were to guess, I'd say that LE was interested in talking to him and that's why they asked for the surveillance of his mom's home and his arrest, but after talking to him, they realized he wasn't the poi.
