Have to agree here! Good points, Codger.
Still behind now 3 days... still with the intruder theory - re the 2:30am call - calling his "partner-in-crime" saying - "I'm in".
I'm wondering if DB's bedroom door was always closed? I'm not in the habit of closing my bedroom door at night - plus she had other kids in the house - seems strange to close the bd door? No?
:waitasec:
I'm never "current" with posts. I don't think it's humanly possible when they fly at this speed. I do have to leave the keyboard now + again to use the bathroom, eat + sleep, at the least :crazy:
I tend to play devil's advocate, usually with myself, over various scenarios I might speculate on. This results in me arguing with myself + eliminating almost every possible one + never settling on something I'm attached to as "it must have been this way". That's why I have such a hard time when it's put forth that XYZ means it HAD to be the parent or ABC means it's obviously Mr. Joe Blow... I twist around the XYZ or ABC + can usually see how it might mean the opposite or certainly isn't definitive proof that it leads to one side or the other. Yes, I'm a resident of the fence in this case, for sure. Other cases, not at all. Why this one is so different, I don't know, maybe because there really is not much at all that WE are aware of to go on, evidence / factual wise. :waitasec:
Closing of doors - I always kept them closed, but know plenty of folks that prefer them open. With the monitor beside the crib, I'd want them shut to not disturb the baby + would feel comfortable listening in that way. The boys are old enough to get up + open doors if they need something or call out + be heard. So, I'd have them shut, but that's just me.
My theory of the moment, subject to change at any time - I think whoever did this will be in some way known to the family, whether intimately or casually. It may have only been a brief encounter. At the least I think they had an eye on the family, whether JI + DB were aware or not. There is that one in a zillion chance it could be a complete stranger, but even in that case, I think they'd been watching for an opportunity. I'm leaning more + more towards someone closer than that. I don't believe it was an accident + coverup. If there was any coverup, it was intentional + at this point with all we don't know, I just don't see these parents as fitting that scenario. I know the stats + I won't be in shock if it turns out the other way, but right this minute, I just don't see it + don't want to, so I'm not going to. :snooty:
