GUILTY TX - Alanna Gallagher, 6, Saginaw, 1 July 2013 - #4

Neither can I. So when in doubt, wouldn't you say it's reasonable and compassionate to err on the side of caution?

A very heartfelt and resounding yes my friend!

Would it be because legal dad is the legal dad because of marital status to the mom? As in any child born of the marriage becomes his legal child.
Bio dad, well that's because he is the actual person who helped make this child.

MOO

Oooh... That makes a lot of sense. So maybe they have all been together for a long time? I just assumed, probably wrongly, that one of the men was a more recent addition. I need to try harder... I can't even get one date!

 

[human]

I live far away from Texas. I hope it is far enough away so the perp does not move up here.

Excuse me LE! Can't you give the public more info so they can aid you like they have so many times in other cases?

We are to believe something this brutal is a one time thing? We are to believe the perp is sorry and will never do it again?

Really, unless they have more info, which often they do, this is disturbing!

Is there confirmation of the time Alanna was last seen by someone other than her parents? Forgive me if I missed this. Imo

 

[carole]

Someone sent me a tip in a pm thinking locals would have easier time getting to the tip line. Are you a local? If so Ill send you what was sent to me and maybe you can call it in tonight.

No, I'm not a local. Just didn't remember anything about a tip.

I know a girl who was married, got knocked up by her BF. As soon as BF heard "pregnant", he split. Her and her husband worked things out, and are still married. The child has the BF's last name. Girl and husband tried to get sons name changed to their name, but a judge said the bio dad would have to surrender his rights to the child, which he wouldn't. Make sense?

That's strange. I know of men who have to pay child support for non-biological children because they were legally married to the mother at the time, thus considered legal fathers.

Nothing has been reported as far as I know.

having tons of TP, not abnormal. LE removing ALL of your TP, not normal. that is what people are raising an eyebrow to

Well, I suppose if they're wanting to match TP from the house to TP found at the crime scene (if any) as belonging to the same batches or exclude it as different they wouldn't want to miss any roll. it's not like DNA where you can just take one sample and everything from the same individual is going to be the same.

I also think that it's a good practice to take all the empty and half used rolls and opened packages on the off chance that someone used them up to clean up after the crime and there is trace evidence left on them, although a lot could have an innocent explanation if it comes from the house of the victim (and the perp?). Still, it doesn't hurt the case to know.

Unfortunately, people are going to look at them with a side eye at first, innocent or not, because their kid somehow ended up dead and dumped in the street, while she was apparently out playing unattended, which seems to be a regular occurrence. It hasn't been made clear how long she had been gone from the house, or why nobody had attempted to locate her earlier to check up on her. Nobody making sure she wasn't getting dehydrated playing outside for so long, nobody reapplying sunscreen, nobody making sure she wasn't hurt. Apparently at least one parent, maybe two were home. Why weren't they checking on her, and why was it only once the other dad came home that any action was taken, and any consideration for this baby's wellbeing given.

I will be honest and say that this is neglectful behavior in my opinion, and I do not understand it. Why couldn't anyone check on her? Do they even know where she was allegedly going to play? Did they ask her where she was going to be? It is very hard for me to say that this was probably a loving or safe home, no matter what has been posted online from the parents, because from how it looks right now, nobody was paying any attention to this girl. And it was not the first time she was out wandering like that. SO yeah, honestly, every thing that the parents do/did/say/said/etc. will be looked at and analyzed by the public. We want to know the circumstances in which this little girl ended up alone and being murdered. I can't blame anyone for looking at the parents lifestyle and wondering what was going on there, who they had in and out, etc.

I follow everything u r stating here. However, I looked today, for the first time, at some of her mothers joined sites. S g e sounded like a devoted mother, her husband a devoted father. Even though they had an unorthodox relationship, they sure as heck love their children!
It might be they cane ibto contact with a child perv, I dont know...
Or it might be a perv stalkef her or a perv saw a crime if opportunity.
but one thing I feel certain about!.... these parents loved her very deepky! My heart aches very deeply for them. Very...

I think out of respect for the child, they are both her dads. Psychologically anyway... And that's all that really matters. IMO

 

[randomtexan]

I'm actually not that surprised that there isn't much interest in this case. LE has given the public no reason to believe that a dangerous predator is on the loose. There is also not one suspect that the media is focusing on, for the public to learn information about. There is no "bad man/woman" which is something pretty much every high-profile case has. There haven't been many sensational developments since Alaina was found murdered either. No constant "shockers" on the news. Also, Alaina isn't missing, so there are no searches, and no hope that she can be found alive. The public didn't get to know her, or form an attachment to her before her body was found either.

I was adding to what someone else had said. I'm not arguing that they should be concerned.

Goodness! The sprlling is awful! My phone dies it gor me!

Even when LE acts like the locals should not be concerned...I would be concerned. If an arrest does not follow their statement within a few days, then what is going on? I know they have not ruled out the parents, but also hope the majority are not glomming onto this fact as "proof" that it does not concern their children. LE has said much the same in Dylan's case and although many suspect the father for numerous reasons, no arrest has been made and he is not named a suspect. So until those things happen, I would be super-worried if .i had kids and lived in the area.

 

[jjenny]

So LE must not want this sighting released for some reason? Not sure I understand why as it certainly makes a very narrow timeframe for her murder.

LE hasn't really said all that much. Whatever was released was because press asked for search warrants.

We all are. That's a given. None of us believe that we are all "perfectly safe". In fact, we know that we are far from it. Main street will be "painted purple" tomorrow night. We are tying ribbons to everything we can. "Locals"... we... are completely aware that whatever the police are saying is guarded and not even close to the entire story.

Hugs to you and your neighbors! I can't even imagine... So sad and horrifying when it's so close. Children finding her... shiver...Autumn Pasquale was local for me, it's still tough and they caught her killers.

Ok. Back to my question if anyone has any ideas.

You can access the SW from here

http://media.star-telegram.com/smedia/2013/07/09/17/40/1u0udJ.So.58.pdf

On page 7, they took a blue cloth, a middle section of a cooler and the rest of the item.

Any ideas?
