Wedding Photos

[Taximom]

:blushing: Thanks j2mirish. I sure wish I had this one figured out, but I'd be much happier if the police do ! I think they do and in time, as tests come back, LE will soon apprehend the criminal !

 

[mikesmom1989]

Actually - it would be good for LE if he did this and left some skin or blood on the frame(s). I am of the opinion there was something with the pictures other than blood spatter and use for identification.

i agree, it is strictly a gut feeling, but i definitely think it is probable that JY was in a rage & somehow those very personal photos play into this somehow, wish i knew exactly how but as i said earlier, it would speak volumes if those oh so personal wedding pictures were smashed/broken --- shades of SP with wedding photos in the trash ---
i also agree with you raisin that there will eventually be an arrest/ case will be solved, lets hope sooner rather than later.right now, id be willing to bet that LE knows who the murderer is and are perhaps as you said waiting on various testing so that all their i's are dotted & their t's crossed- God, i hope so...

Maybe she found out about the affair and crossed/cut out his face on the wedding pics. Even though I don't think she's the type that would do that and leave them out, especially for Cassidy to see.

Was MM in the wedding party?

Did the warrant state where the pictures were when they took them?

Taximom,

Hope you and your family have had a very good holiday season !

The warrant published did not define the location of the pictures within the home. The final warrant inventory, which we have not seen would give a location for each as well as any notable aspect of each. From our brief survey the most common locations seem to be the bedroom and living room. Not sure we can draw any conclusions from that but...

I do not know or recall reading, if MM was in the wedding party. Perhaps someone else has heard that information and will pop in with an answer for you.

I'm just wondering ~ if ~ they got in an argument on the phone that night and Michelle was the one who may have broken them or trashed them? Maybe she'd just found out about his affair? Maybe she'd just told him "it's over"? Then he'd be stuck with child support for two children and drove back to the house and took care of the "situation"?

Thought I would start a thread in the same vein as Sami's thread about lamps. My wife and kids are off visiting with my wife's parents so I'm paying particular attention to pictures this eve. I've been driving everyone crazy on the board today so I need to be constructive. In the search warrant for 5108 Birchleaf Drive of 11/3/06, the inventory reflects collection of three wedding photos.

I am curious as to were everyone keeps their wedding photos, there is no point to this exercise other than to see where most people keep such photos. Perhaps you could also add your opinion as to why three photos were collected from the Young home.

Here are the locations where my wife has placed them in our home:

Bedroom dresser - 1
Family room - 2
Den - 1
Living Room - 1

Total of five, none of which are wall mounts.

I'm not saying why I think the Young wedding photos were taken, I'm much more interested in your opinions. Have fun!

Gosh charlie - just read this first post and no further - interesting!

3 of our wedding photos are mounted they're on the console in the entrance hall; there's another one in the living-room & ... we have one in our master bedroom - and "mini's" scattered in the den (here where I am, lol) but none on the walls!

Why were they taken? Hmmm ... a couple of guesses:

1. A Person? Maybe there's someone "of interest" in the background?
2. A Ring? Maybe Jason's wedding ring was clear in the photos - and he's no longer wearing it? Maybe it was found at the crime-scene - or at MM's house?
3. Some Jewellry? Maybe a necklace MY was wearing was found at MM's house? (Gosh, this is SOOOOO Scott Peterson-ish that I'm forgetting case histories, lol!!!)
4. An Image? Maybe JY deep-etched a pic of himself and put it on some website or ... whateva??

OK - that's my bundle for now. Going to read the rest of this thread to see what others have suggested. If any of the above have been mentioned - truly, I have not read the thread, lol

 

[PolkSaladAnnie]

Perhaps the three photos are in frames which are hinged together? Just a thought ~

Hi panthera! That's a good thought - and also the poster that suggested the phot broke in a rage... could glass shards have been part of the murder? We KNOW not all details are ever released in these cases.... on top of blunt force is it possible to wager that stabbing and/or strangulation were additional injuries?

Close: great son you have there, lol.

Kadie: hi and welcome

Mike'smom - hello and as charlie says - great to have you posting...

.... continuing to catch up, guys ....

 

[PolkSaladAnnie]

In a fit of anger, yes, I could see him doing something like that. So far I haven't read anything clever that he {or the killer} did, and so I assume his ego is huuuuge and he thinks he can get away with anything. Example:
With all the smart and lovely sexy gals out there in his sales territory, why on
god's earth would he choose to bed a sorority sister of his wife's that was also married and the 2 couples close friends. Dumber than dumb IMHO Unless he did it to spite his wife and throw it in her face, which I doubt.

Hi scandi .... (I like your thoughts - as made bold, above. Agree totally!).

Ho hum, here's my confession :blushing:

As my first marriage came to an end in late '89 I remember being hurt and angry enough at my ex to take our engagement pic and toss it on the floor - adding that "it was all a farce" - of course it shattered and the glass bits ruined the pic - so - I can see the unity of love being smashed in anger. If .... that's what happened.

PSA,


I like the idea about the jewelry - they could cross refrence the photo's, both wedding and others, to jewelry found in the home to ascertain if anything obvious was taken - very good thought !

I've read differing accounts of whether or not anything was taken from the house. Does anyone here know if anything of value was missing, or was their just the appearance that a burglary had taken place, i.e. staged?

Thanks charlie - you inspired our thoughts, lol ... Now IF ... if ... jewellry comes into this - then the similarities to Laci's tragic case grow to cosmic levels: it's no longer coincidence - this will all be just too uncanny for WORDS .... because I *hate* to mention this, but what about pearl or ... DIAMOND EARRINGS?

Off the bat? Perhaps blood spatter is the real reason: if not - then we have to scutinize the detail or .. details in the pics. I'm trying to tie in what we KNOW as opposed to wondering, lol. For instance - was there a car in the pics that warranted LE taking license number plates at MY's funeral?

Oh lord, we can wonder about everything, lol.

What do YOU think?

Hi Annie Great to have you back and we all missed you. Hope your trip was enjoyable and successful. I would love to spend Christmas in England some year just to hear their wonderful music.

Reading Nona's thread this morning, I learned it took 3 mos for police to arrest the boyfriend, and they had a bloody palm print and fingerprints of his on the murder weapon! We have to be patient. Scandi

New Year hugs to you, scandi, dear. What a treasure you are to Websleuths - yes it was great: even managed to grab a cone of roasted chestnuts!!! What a DEE-light that was. Everything was so very Christmassy indeed - and I can't remember when I last saw misty breath and felt literally "bundled" up in warm clothes. I found some trendy stretch woollen lace 'thumb gloves' (er, my terminology, lol)! Heh, they look like arm-socks .... but free your fingers and the knitting is stitched to also free your thumb.

Wore those under black suede wrist gloves. Loveed the newness of an old fashion, I s'pose. It's been years since I was in true Northern Hemipshere cold climes.... Oh, and I can thank the Good Lord that I left right before the fog rolled in and virtually closed Heathrow's outward bound flights ...

Lord ... OF COURSE ... I indeed recall Nona Dirksmeyer's case and felt the b/f was guilty from day one. OK - swallowing those (bitter) Patience Pills, lol...

Blessings and wishes your way, too, scands

Glad you got a chuckle out of it. :clap: I've been married 17 years and I am quite proud of my wife, boys, and the photos from day one and all in between. I have found no need to hide them in the basement.QUOTE]

I think I go for artistic, more than situational, photos for display Wedding photos can be artistic, but typically they're classic; not creative. The photos are not really hidden, just safely stored and not first choice for display.

Arm socks ... like it. Hoodies have sleeve cuffs with thumb holes ... fashion is such geographical experience. So perhaps someone would put on the socks, slip the hand through the sleeve and put on the gloves, or would the gloves go under the sleeve cuff? My daughter has been buying up furs ... she'd love the gloves ... and maybe a smoking stick ... visions of Cruella.

Who is Nona Dirksmeyer?

 

[strach304]

Otto, she was a 19 year old college student murdered by her boyfriend. We have a thread for her in the crimes in the news section that has been recently updated so should be on the first page. Interestingly enough a floor lamp is involved as the murder weapon. Her neck was badly cut up by the cord when he strangled her and described as a very messy crime scene wherein she was beat with the lamp as well. Motive was because she broke up with him.

hmmmm.... very possible,panthera --- the situation with the pics is very curious indeed.... by the way, i just caught the tail end of an update on the ellen robb murder on foxnews and they had someone on (didnt catch who) but his words were very interesting and in fact chilling. he said that when 1 is murdered in this way ---- horrific beating, especially about the face/head area ---- it is a way to depersonalize the victim,a warped effort to wipe the victims face from the earth. i didnt catch who was speaking, i dont know if it was perhaps a mental health related expert, but my 1st thought was MY being so personally, vicously bludgeoned.

Otto,

It is not lost on me that you have some obvious problem with me. My recommendation - take it to PM so the other posters on this board don't have to put up with it. They don't deserve it.

Better yet - please place me on ignore.

Gee I'm sorry. You've completely lost me. Wow. Okay ... don't know what to say here.

ETA: All I can say is that I've always enjoyed reading your posts and I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

[raisincharlie]

I have noted that most of you who have wedding photos seem to have one in the bedroom.


Do any of you have an answering machine in your bedroom as well ? Curious only. In this case, the search warrant for 5108 Birchleaf also identifies an answering machine collected from the bedroom. Only reason I am asking.

 

[close_enough]

no answering machine in the bedroom here....
