Me too

Makes me wonder if they think it might play a part at some point

I was thinking back to Cobbins interview. Didn't he state that the couple was tied with a shoelace looking thing? And at the crime scene there was a shoe lace looking thing, IIRC. Well the cords on those leashes kind of looks like black round shoelaces. Why wouldn't it have been sent to TBI?

ETA: Now that I think about it, those leashes also come with a flat thin strap cord and they look like shoe laces as well.

O/T BTW, I get the heebie jeebies whenever I see those retractable leashes. Long story short, I have a scar on my left ankle from one. People have had their hands amputated by them.

Maybe mods could move this thread to Crimes and Trials?

I visited here yesterday and could not find this thread. My brain starting working this am and I did a search. What a valuable little tool this is!

Now to this horrible crime. I am glued to my computer. Thank goodness for the transcript of Cobbins interrogation/interview. The audio was horrible.
Looks like Vince may have some legal problems coming his way and that Daphne is on myspace just frothing from the mouth. How so many people could just allow this to happen is just unbelievable.
