Off topic, this is why I do NOT change my range for "RING" doorbell and include people passing by...cars..

I don't know what he may accustomed to doing being an Indian, but my husband has washed, dried, folded, and hung clothes up numerous times over the years. He does it as well, and detailed as I do them. He never did it at 3am in the morning though, and would do it when he came in from work. He still does it from time to time. We were sleeping and so were our children at 3am in the morning.

Was this man up and had not even gone to bed at that time of morning? Does anyone know what his profession happens to be?

IMO

Agreed. I wonder if they had a shift system with the kids, where one parent was responsible for the kids for part of the night and and the other for the rest. We did something like that when the kids were newborns, because it was the only way we could each get a block of sleep more than 30 minutes long. I'm wondering exactly how disrupted Sherin's sleep patterns are and, correspondingly, how sleep-deprived the parents are. Does anyone know if the sister is also special needs?

As far as the father's profession, I'm about to look on LinkedIn.

If Sherin is deceased this was in no way an accident. When there has been a genuine accident parents call 911 immediately whether the child is breathing or not...........they do not wait 5 hours to even report her missing. Whatever happened to Sherin it was a purposeful act that caused her death (murder). IMO And sadly, I do believe she is with the angels now.

Only the cold blooded murderer Casey Anthony tries to sell the BS accident theory. Both CA, and this man show without a doubt they didn't care one tiny bit about their child.

Accident too often leads people to believe of some honest and innocent, reasonable mistake that leads to an unintended death. I should have been more specific.

In my context, I should have used "impulsive" rage during an incident of abuse and/or punishment that lead to her death. The word "accident" has too many vague implications in this case. It's hard to know what someone could be referring to.

However, that does not mean it wasn't premeditated; (ie I think it was) he certainly could have planned to severely beat/punish Sherin in a manner he should have known would cause her serious bodily injury or death.

The other alternative is the man and woman woke up that morning to murder Sherin; a plan they set up days, weeks or months before.

In my training and/or experience; I see very little prior "planning" in this tragic and horrific incident.

A major motive in MOST homicide investigations is money.

Even when it's not about the money, IT IS about the money.

Don't be surprised is a financial motive ends up factoring in somewhere.

BBM. Question on this. I believe Sherin to be deceased, let's say that her adoption and/or her disability and possibly needing more care than a "healthy" child caused a real or perceived financial strain on her parents, which in turn caused escalating tension and aggression in the home. This led to whatever has happened to Sherin.. Is this kind of what you're saying in the above bolded line or is that too indirect? No financial gain but it still goes back to money?

Really enjoying your posts!

I found a LinkedIn for a Wes Mathews in the DFW area. He is listed as being in sales. Not going to post more until verified.

Good question! I've seen that sometimes but not always.

I think it's because supposedly Sherin was last seen outside. I bet the FBI is securing the entire yard and probably more, like the tree and alley area.

The tree area should have been taped off the first day. Really don't think they would have found anything though.

 

[rosesfromangels]

So what is this "innocent" father (and I use that term loosely in this case), doing while he is out on bail? Is he frantically searching for his "missing" daughter with all his church friends? Or, is he hunkered down lawyered up like a cowardly weasel?

Oh, and btw, I don't believe for a second that the "mother" didn't know what was going on / happened.
She KNOWS.

Amateur opinion and speculation only.

When it comes to "money"; all bets are off, so to speak.

People have done everything from gone to war to make money, murdered wives to save on alimony/child support, to murder for new sneakers or a bag of Dorito chips.

To make an educated guess I would need to understand more about the East Indian culture, the adoption process and their financial position; debts/income etc.

It sounds like what YOU proposed could be VERY likely. People have certainly killed for less.

When conducting a search warrant, does crime scene tape usually go up?

When serving a probable cause search warrant I'm pretty sure crime scene tape goes to secure the crime scene.
Wish it had of gone up Sat night.

I don’t think LE thinks she was ever really at the tree... MOO

However, the subconscious is powerful and maybe that was a slip. Perhaps he BURIED her under a tree.
Tree...

All amateur speculation and opinion

When the truth finally comes out (and it WILL come out), I'm very curious if we'll figure out why he specifically mentions the things he did: the tree, 3:00am, laundry, milk, coyotes.

Too bad they are searching the house after 72 hrs when a lot of evidence could be tampered with / cleaned up / destroyed, etc.

 

[NewMama]

Who normally does the laundry in that household?
—
I read about Sherin on the news earlier today. A special-needs toddler being disciplined at 3am.
—
I’m masking the dread by wondering how many households have a designated (or default or whatever) laundry doer? My husband rarely does a load. Maybe when I’m really sick which is once in a blue moon.
Because if Mr. Mathews does the laundry then maybe there’s a chance Sherin is alive. (This is how I hold onto hope when I have a child the same age.)

 

[kooky_nomad]

I think it's very telling that the parents have clammed up, lawyered up and aren't out frantically searching for Sherin or pleading on media for any info. As far as the cultural differences, I don't know much about the parents' background or how long they've been in the US but generally, the average Indian man's contribution to household chores could best be termed as "minimal", certainly doing laundry at 3am is unusual for ANYONE! The fact that we've heard nothing from the mother is also interesting, typically ours is a male-dominated culture and wives are more often than not deferential to their husbands and rarely speak out against them even when it comes to the children, of course I'm generalising here.. no offence to anyone, purely speaking from experience

I agree. However, they need cause for a warrant. Would a hinky story be enough? (I don't ask that condescendingly.) I wonder if they gathered information in the last days, from CPS, neighbors, cameras, etc...that gave them enough cause to search the home. The FBI and other agencies have been assisting and only just now they have this warrant. Something must have been discovered beyond the ridiculous story.

I hope for an arrest soon. I hope they can locate her.

ETA: I should say, I hope they arrest him again for harsher charges. The mother also, if she knew and did nothing.

 

[whitegryl]

I've read that the parents have hired "not sure if I'm allowed to mention name" a very effective criminal defense attorney, who has successfully represented clients in all areas of criminal law from traffic violations to capital murder. Also works on family law cases range from simple and complex divorces, Child Protective Service cases, child custody issues, enforcement actions and modifications. This lawyer is sought after by judges for appointment and consultation on difficult matters.

It takes time to develop Probable Cause to get a SW. PC requires EVIDENCE, not strange behaviors, bizarre explanations or impropriety. Everyone is entitled to protection under the 4th Amendment. Even monsters.

Unfortunately, PC takes time to develop. A judge might sign a SW while just skimming the affidavit; other judges will analyze the affidavit word for word, and require other avenues be exhausted before signing.

My husband and I both do laundry, more often it's me because I'm here so much more than he is but he does at least a couple loads a week. **He also cooks but he doesn't do dishes** Our oldest kids 17, 14 and 11, have each done most of their own laundry since they were about 10.

Could they show Probable cause if they are concerned the child could be inside -possibly needing medical attention?

If they have no scent at the tree and no decomp in the car. Could they consider that the child is still in the home?
I wonder if the 4 year old has been questioned while in he care of CPS.
