GUILTY TX - Christina Morris, 23, Plano, 30 August 2014 - #11 *Arrest*

[SeriouslySearching]

Hmmm...if he was cheating...we need to add another possible motive and angle in this case. New lover could be problematic. Now reverse that...if she was cheating...we need to add another possible motive and angle in this case. New lover could be problematic. smh

Sheesh. There are a lot of things going on in this case.

Mom what do you think ??? 4days to cover ..will take about 3 or 5 people???

That's the stupidest part...they didn't even have to come up with a story. All any of them had to say is "she left, and I haven't seen her since". That's their story and they're sticking to it.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I totally agree.
But maybe that's his style?
Who knows when the media interview took place. If someone asked me about an ex when I'd knocked back a few drinks, I know I'd probably say things that I'd later cringe about!

Plus, we should check the date-- I think it was pretty early on... it would really REALLY be a dick move to do it after 50 days, but after 6 or 7? Just... not classy... IMO

Updated to add-- Article was Sept 10, so interview probably took place before then?

ALP and CM moved in together and less than 2 months later she posted a photo of herself and a long haired HF laying around somewhere (looked fully clothed). Now if the "affair" started so soon after they moved in together, I can understand ALP having some difficulty not only because she was cheating...but with his best friend...right after they spent all the time and money getting settled in the new place. Doesn't ALP have a right to be upset when the girl he thought he was going to spend his life with suddenly dumps him with so much baggage to bear? I can see why he would still be wounded and angry after only a year.

Maybe it was a jerk thing to do in an interview, but then...maybe it was him trying to explain his feelings about the whole situation without thinking it through. He probably had told the story many times before when discussing her. The two people he trusted most betrayed him.

I see your point. Everyone processes hurt differently, and I didn't intend to take away his right to that with my hypothetical conversation-- I was just trying to construct an innocuous interview scenario that could have been misinterpreted or perceived as more menacing than intended if the quotes or ideas were presented out of context.

 

[MzOpinion8d]

Never know. But I haven't heard HF being upset about that and we have heard CM was crying at work over it. Maybe they were messing around on each other.

Maybe Christina was upset because he was spending a lot of time with another person and she felt left out. Meaning, he wasn't cheating, but wanted to hang out with a friend a lot without her around so she was jealous of the friendship.

 

[MzOpinion8d]

I just cant believe somebody would be so distasteful with all that had happened at that point. Telling detectives anything and everything is one thing but airing your dirty laundry to the media is just such a dick move

Thinking about this from the mindset of a not-so-mature 23 yr old male...he probably thought what he was saying was going to make her look bad, as if she engaged in behaviors that could have brought her "missing" status upon herself, without realizing that it actually made him look like a jerk at the least and a suspect at the worst.

PPD says no crime has been committed right? At what level of a crime would the FBI be brought in?

I thought your hypothetical scenario did sound plausible. Sometimes things behind the scene move in directions quickly and are taken out of context by the reporter on purpose. Certainly makes a more interesting story.

Was she really meant to work on Saturday? If so, why didn't boss call then? Is a one day no-show okay?

I questioned the same thing. IMO not showing up for a full day of work would warrant a call to check up on the employee. Not being able to reach them would raise more concerns especially if CM was as responsible as the boss had said (I believe she said she never missed work.)
But then again that is just my own speculation. As a matter of fact, I would also think that all of the close friends and the bf would have been even more concerned than the boss. Most especially the bf! He said his phone had lost power and he was asleep, but when he awoke on Saturday, I would think that seeing all her texts, the last two being that she lost her keys and needed him to leave to door unlocked, would have at least made him concerned, especially if he loves her as much as he professed in the weeks after she went missing.
JMO, of course.

It is my belief the FBI could be called upon at any time to offer their wide range of forensic tools to be accessed by the local LE without a "level" of a crime being the criteria for it. This is still a missing person case.

 

[CookieM]

Yep! Hardly mentions CM ever.

Yes and interesting since she was there that night.

Re: lawyers

If your the bf of a missing woman and u have been fighting and didn't answer her calls and do t notice she is
Is missing for 4 days u need a lawyer.

If your the ex bf and she left u for your best friend and LE has spoken to u numerous times u need a lawyer.

If your a friend that was seen with her last before she vanished off the face of the earth u need a lawyer.

Innocent or guilty protect yourself .
Smart thing to do.

All jmo

Absolutely! I agree with you 100%. IMO these people would be crazy NOT to get a lawyer.

What's a scenario where the trip to Whataburger would be significant?

I think it just helps with the timeline. According to a poster on here who said she saw CM enter Henry's that night, it was around 11:30pm. So did they close out Henry's at 2am and go to Whataburger before going back to her girlfriend's apt? It was supposed to be a "girl's night out" but did they cross paths with the guys at Henry's and all go to Whataburger together? Or did the girls go to Whataburger on their own earlier than 2am, then go back to the apt and call the other guys to come over?
Questions, questions....

"We have tried to speak to him to find out what he knows, and he won't speak to us. He said his lawyer told him not to talk to us," Anna says.

The family had previously refrained from identifying the man "out of respect for his privacy," but they broke their silence this weekend with signs and a peaceful demonstration outside his Allen home. Christina's mother, Jonni McElroy says it felt empowering to finally call him out. She says he initially lied about walking Christina to the parking garage. "He told police they parted ways at the sidewalk, but we know for a fact that wasn't true," McElroy says. "When the video tape came out, he changed his story."

McElroy believes he knows more details that he hasn't shared. "We're not saying he did it, but he had to have seen something," she says.

Here is where I see a issue
1st Yes if I was in her shoes I would be a mamma tiger
2nd Who is feeding Jonni the information from a MP case investigation that PPD says evidential based right now???

Not to be rude, but how does she "know for a fact that isn't true" as far as what he said? When he said parted ways at the sidewalk, did he mean the side walk along Potbelly's? Or did he just mean like the walking/driving area before you walk over to the parking spaces? (and PLEASE don;t pull up and post a webster's definition of sidewalk, because I do know what a sidewalk is, but I'm just saying is it a matter of semantics?)
How does JM know for a fact 1) what he said to LE (was she there during his questioning?? Doubt it. That seems weird.) and 2) where exactly they parted ways (unless she was also there, which of course we know she was not... OR if she saw the video of them parting ways, in which case she would KNOW for a fact that they actually DID part ways.

I'm just trying to figure out how she can know this for a fact.

 

[CookieM]

Yeah I mean, I am not counting anyone out but just saying statistically speaking the likely hood of him pulling that off is, well I don't even know what the odds would be they are so low
Add this as well, he would have to dodge every camera there at the garage and surrounding businesses.

That would be assuming he was in Ft Worth at the time and not perhaps in Dallas or another suburb, and also that he was driving his own vehicle and not riding with someone else while out and about.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

The camera. She was the photographer for her employer, but was the camera her personal one or one she used for work? Or are they one in the same? How would she even be able to work without going back to Ft. Worth since her camera was there if it is the same she used for her job?

My opinion is that possibly early in, before LE had many facts, they may have shared certain statements with the family. Or, the family talked with friends initially.

IMO, his statement gives me the feeling that he is no way involved. He wasn't trying to put on a front that 'I have no motivation', which is what someone guilty would do.
I went out with a girl for a while who was so messed up that I thought, and told her, that i thought she would die young. She made ridiculously bad decisions and had an addictive personality that got her in trouble. Please don't rake me over coals lol, but if I heard that she was missing today, I wouldn't be surprised, and if I was actually trying to help, I might explain (although not to a reporter)a transgression to provide the interested some insight.

Missing person would have to have been taken involuntarily across state lines. (At this point LE doesn't even have evidence that a crime was committed. IMO that means that they can't say for sure that she didn't just disappear voluntarily.)

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Hmmm...a gun being brandished by a ski masked male in a photo taken for that clothing line she was involved in. What kind of message is that? Wonder who owns/owned that gun and where it is now?

I suppose the entire line of clothing is done to be disrespectful to LE, the FBI, and military.
