I agree with you and have wondered this myself. Does anyone remember about a month ago we were talking about her purse sales? She never sold them according to the website, but she had 4 designer purses for sale and they titled close to, if not , more than $15,000! She said at least one was a gift, but regardless I always wondered who had that money to gift and where she got that money to buy them. I know stores give a discount, but not that much.

I do. Remember the car picture with the camo looking pants.? There is/was a picture of HF wearing that same print pants in a skateboarding pic.

Yup. I asked at length about the purses and it was kindof brushed aside. There were many interesting pictures from HF's instagram before it went dark. But that fact was also brushed aside, unfortunately. We have had a LOT of clues.

Me too, it was called a "red herring" by two others here. It pretty much shut that topic down.

Yes. "A diversion," I think it might have been called as well. But it's all pieces of a puzzle if you ask me (not that anyone has, but still....lol)

Wow. Wow. Wow. Yet sadly, not totally shocked.

There was this nagging problem for me all along that HF didn't contact someone, anyone, her friends, her work, her dad when she didn't show up by that afternoon & he couldn't reach her cell. That's what normal people do. He never contacted anyone at all. Ugh!

All of that could be due to him fighting with someone else. That is all I will say for now.

That someone else would have to be a girl for me though. Guys don't bite.

Christina's outfit
This has been bugging me to no end. Yesterday someone posted a JPEG picture of her in one outfit and said she wore it the night she went missing. I asked for the link, but didn't see one. Previously, I have seen a diff pic on the missing flier. Then the video of her walking with slightly diff. Does anyone know? It's very important as she could have had the clothes on under or changed in the car.

Picture 1: flowery top, black bra top, curly hair
Picture 2: white tub top, kimona, greyish skirt with black band, fedora, straight hair (no black bra top visible)
Picture 3/video: looks like baggy shirt? Skirt

Jmo, it is difficult for me to believe that the drug dealing is not somehow connected to whatever happened to Christina, as a motive at least. If it is EA who is responsible, maybe money was owed. Drugs/money issues go together all the time, Imo. How much Christina knew, we can't say, but if EA did call HF, it is pretty obvious they had some sort of dealings and I am guessing, not in a friendly manner. Jmo

This comment by Jonni was interesting to me...

Speaking with CBS 11 News by phone, Christina’s mother, Jonni McElroy, said the new development has left her speechless. During the conversation she also revealed that her daughter was “upset over her boyfriend’s alleged drug use and threatened to leave him” right before she vanished.

...hmm Jonni saying that Christina threatened to leave him right before she vanished....really makes me think all sort of things... May scare someone when their live in girlfriend is "threatening" to end the relationship given all she knows /has on him...,just thinking out loud, imo.

The above quote is from this article:

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2014/12/09/boyfriend-of-christina-morris-indicted-on-drug-charges/

This is definitely concerning because if Christina had threatened in an argument to go to LE, then well I really don't want to think about the possible repercussions. This wasn't a group of young adults smoking pot; this was an organized major drug ring. IMO

Red herrings, diversions, defense counsel, etc.

Ive done HR for 20 years as well in my past. No big deal. But it clearly states he was was fired for theft, not attendance.
"The arrest report from Sept. 15 alleges Arochi stole a gold Samsung Galaxy S5 phone, valued at $650, from the Sprint Wireless Store he managed in Wylie.
On Nov. 1, Arochi said he was on a leave of absence from Sprint due to the Morris investigation, but
according to coworkers, Arochi was fired after his arrest for theft."

My post from before: He took and returned company property-theft and recovery
He obviously has questionable attendance issues and possibly violated company policy
That is the way I see it ..being a Former HR Director for over 20 years ..I think I can make a judgement call.

Let me clear this up regarding why there may be more to his Termination IMO ~
I know exactly what the arrest record and disposition states.
I can also see what is stated in the affidavit .(regarding the obtained video from Kroger reflects- that the detective described he appeared to do.)
I also am very clear on what he is stating as far as his work scheduled requirement for that day.
I am also very well aware that he obviously was not in that stated work location at 10:15 am 8-30-14.
(This is why I have included the possible attendance policy issue)

At this point (IMHO and my years of experience) it is simply a matter of several things.
1. He did not clock in the store prior to 11am... (this would fall under Time & Attendance policy)
2. He did clock in at the store at the 8am or later time frame and left with approval from his boss. (this would be approved-no issue)
3. He did clock in at the store at the 8 am or later time frame and left without approval from his boss. ( this could be a Time & Attendance issue as well furthermore along the lines of performance expectations)

This is why I stated in my post POSSIBLY ATTENDANCE ISSUES VIOLATED COMPANY POLICY to dovetail along with the severity of theft of company property. There might have been several items listed in his Termination documents and documentation for overall records ..(None of us to my knowledge have those available to review)
I personally in my HR career always listed any and all policy & performance issues on terminations as well as active employees to have available in the likelihood it would be required to produce that documentation.(that is a requirement of the HR role and is a given..if not being done then HR & Mgmt would not be doing the required job function)

Oh yes they do!

 

[CatsInTheCradle]

I still don't believe she left on her own..

I don't think she would be doing anything to be insensitive or callous toward her family. My only thought is if she felt she had no choice in the matter. If she thought she was protecting her mom, dad, step-mom, her entire family. JMO

JMO~
Yes --nestled into these 20+ threads many of us have made this suggestion and this is the exact reason why.. unfortunately during the course of time those suggestions were squashed due to the fact we would be going down a path that was out in the near distance.
This was never about being insensitive or UN-supportive to CM being missing. This is and always been about what and who she was surrounded with in her daily life in the close proximity of the time she goes missing. That is the sad and frustrating reality of the case at hand.

This is why all options must be looked at and explored. This is also why I am of the strong opinion not to put everything 100% into the EA basket.

This article says it was at a club operating inside a strip club once the strip club closed so I doubt there were lap dances goin on at that time. Like Jonni said, hes very into himself. I can see him dancing in the mirror all alone at his home before getting a lap dance from a stripper. Lol.
It seems Christina is way out of his league. Where are you Christina? They are coming!

http://www.myfoxdfw.com/story/26539776/investigation-after-hours-dance-club

My point was not that the girl[modsnip] was giving lap dances.
My point was that HF may not of been dating her and just using her to push drugs if she's a Stripper.
If she is a stripper there, makes it easy for her to sell drugs for him and maybe make a cut.

His instagram pictures were def alarming. I said that to start.
Photos of weapons...

 

[Eileen730]

I still think they need to search closer to her home.
IMO HF was in that garage.

what if the 3 of them left in EA's car.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

I can't recall, but maybe someone else can. Has it been mentioned or determined what HF and Christina were fighting about on the night she went missing? I know it was reported many times that they had an argument, and that she was allegedly leaving the party to return home to get their dog.

Is it possible that the argument was about more alleged drug use and that Christina threatened to go to police, and HF finally had enough?

Yes....and drugs were not the only things seized in the arrest according to the report. JMO
