A question(or 2) for the more experiences sleuthers.


Is it common for LE to get a search warrant for the home and vehicles of a murder victim? (when the victim is found somewhere besides the home)

Doesn't LE need a certain degree of suspicion, and evidence to back that suspicion up, just to get the search warrant??

(Not asking my hubby, because he thinks I spend too much time here)

Yes, LE needs probable cause to obtain a search warrant.

I am OT once again, I know.

But does anyone remember the interview with Lady Di?

It was so sad. They asked her about Camilla and Lady Di answered something on how it was a bit crowded to be in her relationship of three.

Wish I had the quote. It was so poignant

I think it's sad that in some cultures it's encouraged & expected. I know many Italians have comares or goomars. Everyone knows.

One more thought on empty TP rolls. Schools/teachers ask for families to save empty rolls and send in for projects. There was a school project done at one time that required empty TP and PT rolls in order to build a life size human skeleton model. Some folks are so creative with their thinking.

I save them for seed starter containers.

I hope there is justice for Alanna soon.

It never ceases to amaze me that we humans always hope that a child's death was an accident, despite the glaring details that indicate that it is not. Stripping a child to their panties, putting a bag over their head, binding their hands and feet? If it was an accidental drowning, it would be assumed she was with people she knew or loved, how could someone who loved her do that if she died accidentally? It is illogical.

It still surprises me on every case where accident theories are brought up and discussed time and time again, yet I haven't come across a case yet where a child died in an accident and it was staged to look like murder.

I have two cats, twice as much hair! I am constantly vacuuming everything and yet miraculously it's still everywhere!

Mine is a Siberian. No hair but large wheels of velvety undercoat twice a year when he molts!

It's a strange and unsettling case. I think this will turn out to be both planned and spontaneous -- someone who was trawling and jumped at what he or she saw as an opportunity. I see the location of the body as staging, not accident, which suggests to me that the killer is reasonably confident that he did a decent job of cleaning up and/or isn't on file.

The belt is the odd bit for me (as for others here). Given the presence of tape and other forms of binding clearly available to the killer, it seems a defiantly personal touch and, depending where on the body it was placed, to have other meanings besides maybe. Why a mans belt on a child? This strikes me as a very nasty (and triumphant) bit of embroidery that speaks directly to control.

JMO, of course. I hope they are making headway. She was clearly a remarkable little girl, and this was such a cruel crime,

An example that I quickly found

Wow! Thanks for posting. That was very interesting.

So from the very very beginning, probably before they even knew anything about the family, the FBI had been called in. I guess from 9 to 10:10 there's just barely time for them to have made the connection, noticed something odd on the missing side, and called the FBI, but it really sounds like there was something about the way she was found that indicated more than a sad domestic murder.

TP cores can be used for lots of crafts, and for storing yarn. I have a stash of about a dozen for making Christmas Crackers.

Thank you

After more than a decade following cases like this, I find it extremely odd when anyone doesn't suspect the parents first or remains unwilling to believe a parent could kill or even severely abuse a child. I get so frustrated. I was furious at Casey Anthony's jurors.

Seems people have either become so desensitized by tv or have completely lost the ability to draw reasonable conclusions based on evidence using logic and reasoning. Must be terrible to be a prosecutor. Without a video or massive amounts of foreign DNA

I have 5 cats. There isn't anywhere in my house where you won't find cat hair, no matter how often and how well I clean. I'm pretty sure if you did an autopsy on me you would find cat hair in my lungs. It gets EVERYWHERE. I came home from the gym today and gave one of mine a cuddle, I resembled a yeti when I was done because I was wearing sunscreen.. Oh thought could Alanna have been wearing sunscreen? Hot day, any kind of things could have gotten stuck to her skin?

I hear you. But....Jose Baez would beg to differ with you! :banghead:

Okay guys, I think we made a wrong turn somewhere 'cause I'm a bit lost.

Let's try to steer it back on the road.

Thanks! :blowkiss:

Thanks! I am right! WS people are certifiable ( but I say this in a loving way!):rockon:

Somewhere on here is her weight and height, I think. But where? Why would it be on here? In the beginning somewhere,I feel.

Gotta go look

momtective = nosy with a touch of crazy. :giggle:

I think it's been mentioned there is also a large FBI office nearby. (Not disagreeing with your theory, though.)

From the article: Investigators are still trying to track down the person who stripped Alanna naked, bound her hands and feet, put a plastic bag over her head and ditched her beneath a tarp in the street.


Was she wrapped in the tarp or ditched beneath the tarp?

I've also noticed that more recent write ups make it sound like she was not inside a garbage bag, even though that was certainly our impression on day one.

I believe from the boys that found her she was inside the tarp.and the tarp was belted.
