It is not uncommon for police to use investigative strategies, such as manipulating information.
Let's take the example of the police saying that MR's car was spotted in the Guelph Home Depot parking lot. They let people assume that the still photo taken from the video was the Guelph Home Depot parking lot. However, people from Guelph said that it sure didn't look like the Home Depot parking lot. It wasn't. It was an Esso station in Woodstock.
Initially, the photo did not show a time stamp. Later photos showed a time stamp, and we learned from the gas station owner that the time on the camera was incorrect. This may have hindered the police investigation if they did not verify the time on the camera for themselves. Little details like this are important. Some businesses don't bother switching video cameras to DST.
This detail of the time made many believe the photo was, indeed, taken in Guelph. There was time to travel to Guelph after picking Tori up in this scenario -- barely.
They let people jump to incorrect conclusions, intentionally I would say. Why? We don't know. Maybe they didn't actually know that MR/TLM went there, but hoped someone would come forward to give a statement saying that they saw them.
They obviously knew all along that this photo was taken in Woodstock. They took the video for evidence.
I so totally agree with what you have said! I am inclined to believe that TLM is guilty and that she was the instigating party because we have seen a portion of the video with her leading Tori away, and her assisting LE in locating her remains. I absolutely believe that MR had some involvement - but I am not sure to what extent. I understand that LE likely arrested him for good reason - but what that is exactly I am not sure. Obviously he has some culpability - my understanding of the charges is that the first degree charge is levied when a child dies as a result of being kidnapped/abducted (which was indeed the case) and so is a valid charge under the circumstances. In any case, it will all come out at trial.
On a different note, there is no doubt in my mind that TLM is the greater evil and I am inclined to believe that it is she who is the sexual predator/sadist/molester more so than MR and that she did indeed target Tori both as an act of vengance upon TM and to satisfy her own bizarre fantasies.
I am content though to wait until the trials begin to hear the evidence.
All this fence sitting has left a sliver up the crack of my *ss. Hopin that TLM pleads out first even though the evidence will be suppressed until MR's trial.
