TX TX - Joshua Davis, 18 months, New Braunfels, 4 Feb 2011 - # 2

[Kat]

Has it warmed up in that area of texas yet?

If it is above freezing then what factors would hinder cadaver dogs searching now?

If he crawled somewhere within the area of all the homes (under a MH or etc) once the temps are consistently above freezing ---decomp would more than likely be evident to anyone standing nearby. KWIM?

JMHO.

The temps have been up and down - for instance for a few days we've been able to run around without jackets (upper 60's) .. today (i'm west of New Braunfels - the other side of Canyon Lake) .. it just NOW (around 4:30pm) got up to 31 .. VERY cold today ...

Currently in New Braunfels it's 35°, winds gusting from the north, 22-33 mph. Overnight low tonight: 22°, high tomorrow, 47°.

There's no evidence the boy was abducted

On Tuesday, investigators carried large items wrapped in black, loaded them into a truck and drove off.
The boy's father, Josh Davis, said he didn't know what the investigators were doing.

An FBI forensics team visited the family's home, in a mobile home community on the town's far South Side, to retrace the steps and evidence-gathering of the first responders, who showed up minutes after the boy vanished Friday night.
Intensive searches of the fields, homes and landmarks around the house have turned up nothing. There's no evidence the boy was abducted.

Terri Horman doesn't have a thing to do with this child's disappearance nor with the reasons this father was given 3 LDT.

The dad's story isn't lining up and LE is now calling this a criminal investigation.
moo

I disagree I think it's very helpful to see what's been done in previous cases.

 

[not_my_kids]

New braunfels has a hard freeze warning tonight, from what I've seen online. So no warmup yet.

I agree... But I also don't think he wandered off. :no:

ETA: The key word for me here is abducted - and I don't think that happened.

 

[darlin gal]

.The child's pediatrician was interviewed on Tuesday. While investigators had initially considered a 36-hour window of survivability because of the cold and exposure, the doctor said 24 hours would have been a more likely window.

Wow I lived in CenTex for nine years and I don't remember it being that cold ever...for this long. Maybe a day or two here and there. Yikes--you all stay warm!

FBI is investigating.
Texas Rangers are investigating.
FBI forensic team went to home


In an article today it said that Investigators are choosing their words carefully.

Well, I'm going to be straight up honest here and say that I would be surprised at this point in time if one of the parents didn't know exactly where Joshua is located and that possibly both know what happened to him (at least the one who knows where he is located knows what happened).

So hopefully I will get the shock of my life and this beautiful child will be located and it will be shown that he did wander away over ice barefoot to such a distance within 20 mins that he couldn't be located and still can't be located.

Come home soon Joshua but I really dont' think that is going to happen.

Me either belimom.

Isn't there a WS rule against using too much of one case in another, because it confuses everyone and tends to lead to off topic tangents?

TIA to whoever can answer. I seem to remember that going into effect when every case was being compared to Caylee Anthony, but I'm not a mod and could be wrong.

 

[daisy7]

I'm confused about a reward being offered if they think he just wandered off?

Hailey Dunn's uncle took one, failed it.
Took another, failed it.
Took a third one, passed it.

I don't find it alarming yet that Josh Sr was given 3. Because in the Horman case they were giving polygraphs from different agencies. It is possible they did one from the Ranger, one from the FBI and one from local police. Or something along those lines.

I've simply seen nothing to indicate he should be under suspicion. With Hailey and Kyron's case it was obvious who was under suspicion. Terri Horman never once said a word to the media or did anything visible to find Kyron. Huge difference between her and this Dad.

IMO the dad is hinky, he has been IMO from day one. He took 3 polys and yes, I find that extremely hinky. LE has changed its mind about this child. THey now say he was NOT abducted and he didn't walk off alone.
What's left?
Not an abduction/not a kidnapping.

We have no evidence right now whatsoever that it was an abduction or kidnapping," said Lt. Michael Penshorn. "All that we know is that we simply have a child that was there one moment and a matter of minutes later, he disappeared."

Not that I'm aware of :smile:

“I last saw my son around 8 last night,” said Josh Davis, Joshua’s father. “He was pulling on my beanie trying to take it off. He was behind my chair. When I told him to stop, he looked at me and smiled.

“That was the last time I saw him.”

Just sayin'

Again, last person to see the child. Just one flag of many, IMHO...

daisy7,
there are 2 or 3 links here that quote LE as saying they no longer think he wandered off.
They don't think he wandered off.
They don't think he was abducted .
