I feel bad for these lady's... Thru no fault of their own they are now associated with this individual. He had diverse tastes in women, from young to old, marching these witness' in likely was calculated by the crown to play to the women on the jury... how many of them today are thinking, WTF if they werent already before..... Im thinking few women would respect men who seem to have multiple ladies on the go. I believe, the line of lies told to these women was just a ploy to get what he was really seeking from these ladies. Relationships are short, because for the most part, people can figure folks out pretty quickly, especially older women, 17 year olds probably a bit more easilly mislead! For example, how many contractors do you know who conduct business from a beat to crap honda civic??? How many dance instructors probably would have no clue who Mikhail Baryshnikov is, if asked! Its easy for people to spot lies and if I was a lady using Plenty of Fish, Id be on a good defensive right from the start...


<modsnip>! lol

I feel terrible for these women who so innocently met MTR and now have been brought into this. I can't imagine how they must be feeling.

I feel a lot of compassion towards these unsuspecting women that MR seemed to be "stalking" and keep wondering if they were all potential victims?

I also feel they are doing their duty to society by testifying and feel that the publication ban on one witness is on tight either. They should not be hiding from doing their duty to testify---it will help many others in the future...:rocker:

Just popping in to ask - the day he abruptly left bowling - would that have been the day TLM was arrested?? Would he have heard about it and had to check things out?

 

[~n/t~]

Rafferty used a little bit of truth, in the lies that he spun.

Is there a name for that?

Cindy Anthony? Half truths, mistruths?

 

[~n/t~]

Anthony-itis.

:floorlaugh: Better than my answer!

 

[~n/t~]

Not to mention he was going out of his way to talk about it. How many men in Woodstock were sitting around discussing it? And going out of their way to bring it up and being obsessed with it on the news? And why didn't the Crown come back with that? :waitasec:

MOO

There are a lot of times when I wished the Crown would redirect and ask those types of comeback questions! I don't know why they're not!! :banghead:

Is there a name for that?

Sociopath? Caseyanthonyitis? :waitasec:

 

[Oldsoul2]

Yup, and making such an elaborate load of bs about his involvement with the search. He was doing it to sound like such a sensitive, caring man, which just makes it sicker.

I have wondered a couple of times why the Crown hasn't pointed stuff like that out.

The Crown is doing just that by bringing in women after women to testify how they were duped by a man that is a compulsive liar. Guess they will wait to show the jury proof that everything he said was a lie but its pretty apparent at this point the jury already knows he was there while they listen to this hog wash he fed these girls. I'm sure the picture is pretty clear to them at this point.

If you look hard on google, based on the information provided, many have photos online, for the nosey folks! lol

Makes me wonder if he just wasn't able to get it on with any of them and reverted to young girls (Tori). Even Tori wasn't young enough for him according to TLM. So, did he already experience a girl Tori's age? Questions to ponder as disgusting as it is.

 

[fats]

If they can prove that Rafferty was really familiar with the area or "partied" there in the past, they can make a connection to the fact that he looked for a familiar succluded area to do the deed.:detective::dervish::moo:

That connection could be made. Also his actions speak louder than words. TLM was up in the helicopter trying to locate the area of the crime. He was the driver of the car and knew full well how to get there and find Tori's remains.

He did nothing but stalk women on PofF.
:jail:

I guess, but there's really are times when I really wish that they had not let the defence have the last word.

Rafferty told her he was teaching dance classes in Kitchener, stopped for coffee with her on the way.

On plenty of fish, he spelled his name Mychol. He said on his profile he wasn't in to games. She liked that.

RaffertyLFP: Rafferty told her he was a contractor and dance teacher and wanted to travel
