GUILTY TX - Christina Morris, 23, Plano, 30 August 2014 - #18 *Arrest*

[CatsInTheCradle]

I'm open to all theories but do you suppose it's a cat or dog bite? :thinking:

Silly - cats scratch :drumroll:

 

[catpatrol]

Has this "bite mark" been confirmed in any way, other than a co-worker seeing what "looked like" a bite mark?

I don't know the location of the bitemarks that the co-worker reported, but in the warrant for EA's car it says on Sept 4th, PPD noticed on bruises on EA's right forearm and abrasions to his right hand

ETA: Per warrant, co-worker said bitemark on the arm.

Anything is possible, but why wouldn't he admit it was from an animal instead of saying it came from changing a tire?

 

[catpatrol]

BBM. I've read 18 threads and at times need a refresher. Who said that EA was limping? TIA

It's in the warrant. A co-worker stated that to PPD. He also said that EA looked like ***** and that EA told him his ribs hurt.

Not from the kind of bitemark one of the VI's has said it was.

I believe it was the co-worker who saw the mark and said he was limping and EA said he'd been in a fight the night before. But so far it doesn't sound like anyone else confirmed seeing him get in a fight while they were all out.

I don't know that it was any kind of bite. Do employees normally examine a boss/manager in a way that could confirm a mark is a bite? And how is he qualified to do that? Was this the next day? (Aug 31?) If this employee was so concerned by limping and bruising and a bite and whatever else included in the litany, why didn't he immediately call the police with his alarming suspicions about his boss/manager? One does not have to be aware of a crime in order to report suspicious behavior or events.

Would a bite mark seen by a coworker on Aug 30 look like a bruise to PPD on Sept 4 - not sure of the exact day? I would think so, but I'm not familiar with bite marks past my children being bitten by another child in daycare years ago.

If I worked with someoen and they were bruised up and told me they'd been in a fight the night before, that would be the end of the story for me. He's fine now, must have been a hot-head at the bar the night before but it's over now. If he had known at the time a girl was missing I'm sure he would have said something sooner.

My issue is I know the family wants someone to blame and pay her her being missing which is reasonable without a doubt. So many weird questionable things do make EA look like that person to blame. But what if he just has issues and had nothing to do with it? Who else is there to point those fingers at when so much is pointing at EA.... puzzling

I'm not sure the family just "wants some one to blame". Unless, the police just "want some one to blame" as well.

The police seem to be focusing on the same person as the family..

I personally feel like all signs are pointing towards EA.....but.....if it does turn out not to be him, I would think it was someone else at the party that night.

Sometimes a guilty person can walk amongst you and you would never suspect them. They can seem completely honest and forth coming. Even help in locating the victim. They can seem like the unlikely one to have commented the crime. Just things to keep in mind.

If indeed, EA had a bite mark on his arm, I think LE would have been very interested. Could they have compared it to CM's dental records? Bite marks have been known to solve cases. Ted Bundy is one of them. :twocents:

IMHO

But what if its not a bite at all!
LE said cuts and abrasions and it was the employee that said bite mark. Correct?

It was 6 to 8 hours later. If EA was wearing a short sleeve shirt or had his sleeves rolled up, it would probably be fairly obvious if it was a bite mark and wouldn't require a physical examination. Nobody said he was qualified. Have you ever seen a bite mark on human flesh - it's not too hard to spot. The co-worker did show concern, didn't EA say he got in a bar fight?

Call the police? Seriously? I imagine the co-worker and EA are probably in the same age range. EA says he got in a bar fight, the co-worker probably razzed him the rest of the day for getting his kicked. Calling the police wouldn't even register as an afterthought - in my opinion.

I could think of a few that were not at the party!

Sure, we may find out it wasn't a bite mark. Gigglingtoes was just asking if it could have come from a dog/cat and I was just replying why wouldn't he say that then. We honestly may never know if it was really a bite or if it just looked like one to a co-worker, and 4 days later was not possible to determine by police anymore.

IMO it is pretty obvious who is to blame for Christina's disappearance. I do not think a dog bit him, I think it doesn't take a medical examiner to be able to recognize a bite mark. If he hadn't been caught in a lie by le, he would of stuck with the bar fight story. But instead it switched to changing his tire. IMO he is guilty based on what I have seen...

Did you not read the whole thing?
