I'm kind of thinking similarly. I just can't understand what happened. If he did it, why? If it was an accident of some kind - why won't he tell where she is. It's just baffling. It doesn't fit what I think of as "typical."
It really is a lot like Breanne Rodriguez's case - but that guy, Shawn Morgan, once he realized he was caught, told them where to find her body. And in her case we learned that he'd sent bomb threats to a former place of employment and had at least one other past incident which would seem to indicate that he was a bit off his rocker.
I follow a lot of these cases and they follow predictable patterns. Sometimes I lose interest in them very quickly because the motive and reasoning are not mysterious. Still sad and horrible, of course.
As an example, the typical step parent (usually step father, but not always) kills step-child in a fit-of-rage type case happens every week it seems. (Kyron Horman - was an usual case because it appears to have been calculated and extensively premeditated - and yes I know his step mother is still only the alleged killer)
Another example of a "type" of child related case would be the creepy uncle, "pal" or step father who molests a child for years and somehow shames the child to keep it all quiet. (Jerry Sandusky, all the priests)
Parents kill their own children far more often than strangers do - and it's even quite common for the parents to then try to point the finger at someone else (an invented stranger) to cover it up. Open cases that IMHO fit this type are: Jhessye Shockley, Aliyah Lundsford, Ayla Reynolds, Lisa Irwin (Now it's possible that one or more of those will turn out to actually be stranger abductions, but I'm not betting on it. We can talk about that on those threads - not here, I'm just trying to make a point about Mark Bridger)
I just can't make this case fit that's why I keep considering alternate theories:
1. They have the wrong guy.
2. He has lost his mind, and gone round the bend.
3. It was some kind of "accident" and he tried to cover it up: For example, he was drunk; it was a botched kidnapping (but why, what was he after?); he hit her with the car (But why not tell us where she is?); he took her for a short ride and then let her out to walk and she never made it home
I dunno I'm just guessing - still trying to make those ideas fit what we know, and they don't fit either - I know that, but my head keeps taking them out for a spin anyway because him simply plucking her off the street in front of neighbor children and murdering her doesn't fit either. No need to refute any of that - it's rhetorical and I can't support any of it.
I just can't make sense of it. I do hope that we are able to learn more illuminating information after the trial.
For those of you who theorize that someone else may be involved - without naming names, what sort of person would conspire to kill a 5 year old?
