In my opinion. This guy that the police arrested is just a small time flash your bits about tea leaf, i just don't see any signs of kidnap or murder. Will be interesting to see what avenue of investigation the police take next over the next few days,
It will indeed be interesting to see how this all unfolds in the days to come. My thoughts at the moment are opposite in the sense that I wonder if this is a very sick, violent predator who so far has gone under the radar or perhaps escalated in his crimes. He could even be a budding serial killer, imo.
Burglary is not an offense that is necessarily uncommon to these types of perps imo, and these actions imo only demonstrate the propensity for one to cross boundaries to be sexually inappropriate/get what they want. Breaking in requires a certain level of brazenness is my opinion so I’m not quick to brush him off as far as possibly being responsible for more than just that. Does this mean all burglars sexually offend? No. But stealing sex toys? Again, murderer Russell Williams comes to mind.
You have to admit if he hasn't got anything to do with her disappearance he is the unluckiest person in the world.
We have seen some crazy coincidences here, that’s for sure. I always expect the unexpected.
And the police will be eating humble pie for a very long time
I think the police are likely doing the best they can, and can not be blamed for thoroughly investigating this avenue considering his proximity, his sexual offenses and being the last known person to see her (if I’m understanding correctly, still a little confused about all this car business, trying to catch up). As long as LE still follows up in other tips, etc I can not fault them for devoting their utmost attention to the POI.
Agree they will have wasted an enormous amount of time and resources at a critical stage of the investigation.
I am hoping and thinking that this is a full blown investigation which would cover many avenues, while it’s obvious this person is a focus for obvious reasons.
A big part of the investigative process is ruling things out, search areas and people. IF they were able to definitively rule this guy out via DNA or alibi, etc, it wouldn’t be a waste imo but more so progress. If Libby was my family member I’d be demanding they tear that house down.
