[Bravo]

I wonder if he went on a dating spree because he knew it was only a matter of time before he was behind bars? Who knows, I guess we can't guess how a sinister mind thinks. JMO

Could be. The movie name "I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can" keeps popping into my head. Pun intended LOL

That's a running count discussed among a group of reporters.

For this who have asked, it seems as though Rafferty dated 13 women in spring of 2009, 7 after Tori kidnapping. Hard to keep track, though.

<modsnip> is hardly an "innocent dupe". He is a manipulator in the highest form. I think we all can guess what it is he saw in TLM. Anything he wanted. JMO

 

[nursebeeme]

so he had tools... (most likely because he used them to take the seat out to throw it away imhoo)

Just two quick questions from Derstine. Crown says this ends the May 15th chapter. Now focusing on Facebook. #sl

 

[snoofer]

Does this guy have a twin or something? How on earth could he have pulled off dating all of these women at the same time?? Holy crap!!!

i guess when you are foot loose and fancy free, not working, collecting illegal monies...but yes he still seems very BUSY! IMO

 

[~n/t~]

I didn't know there was a Facebook chapter. hmmm

 

[Sailor Bug]

She met Rafferty on a bus. They "got intimate at one point", but were just good friends over all.

She mostly talked to Rafferty online in spring of 2009.

RaffertyLFP: Harnum said she had known Raffery for about six years in 2009 Met him on a bus and became his girlfriend for a while

RaffertyLFP: By 2009 they were only communicating on the Internet. Harnum said in Spring 2009 she talked to Rafferty on MSN and Facebook

Cassondra Harnum on the stand now. Knew #Rafferty for about 6 years. Was a really good friend #sl

Steven D'Souza &#8207; @cbcsteve
Harnum says in Spring 09, kept in touch with Rafferty online via msn messenger and Facebook #sl

 

[Sailor Bug]

They also connected on plenty of fish at one point. But had met before. They talked on MSN.

She's now explaining MSN to Carnegie.

I bet he had that hammer of his in the trunk thinking if TLM rats them out that her story would not match Tori's dna on it. Little did he know TLM was caught on camera showing it was a different hammer. JMO

Crown calls Cassondra Harnum. She met #Rafferty on a bus around 2003. Became good friends. Were talking online in Spring 2009.

 

[snoofer]

RaffertyLFP: Meloche said Rafferty was vague about where he lived and his history but she agreed to be his girlfriend -saw him almost every day

She was concerned about where he lived, she didn't know much about "history". She agreed to an exclusive relationship, at his suggestion.

huh? when did he tell the other girl that he wanted to marry A. Lane??? He started seeing this one on Easter Monday. Glad A. Lane dodged THAT bullet! JMO

This photo from London, Ontario is so calming and tranquil, I wanted to place it here in memory of Tori. And to remind myself, that in spite of the horror of this cruel death and trial, the world can also be startlingly beautiful. (Something easily forgotten when following this case.)

He likely wanted to confer with his client about potential questions to ask this witness and that is why he requested a recess.
