I know that things on the ground in the search areas are not this dead, but I hate to Lindsey's forum going cold.
What haven't we looked at, what are the little things that are still bugging us, what haven't we done, what might have been skipped over in the very beginning? Even if it's just to say that the position of some weeds trampled in an early McCleary pic makes you wonder, say it. We need something to jump start us. LE isn't talking, I don't think they have anything to say. We are the people that always have something to say.
To the searchers: I wish you luck and strength. Be safe and bring her home.
Hi Not my kids, One thing I can't believe we just took as almost gospel is that the fight happened close to the Shell station and the bike was left there after a neighbor stopped and told Josh to go home.
We never even explored the idea that wasn't what happened and that yes, the argument might have started around the Shell station. But that is not where the neighbor saw the argument, and Josh walked up to within a few houses of KK's.
It is Boondock's great theory and having done a lot of back reading I did find that exact scenario written by KK in one of her earlier posts. In that post KK mentions this is what her daughter MK told her, so I think it is probably what happened. It was also postulated that this neighbor was actually a friend of the person who lived a few houses down from KK on Maple St and was visiting her at that time when she heard the argument and went outside.
This person is also the same person that watched Lindsey on her walk back home a few minutes later {she was at KK's house only about 5 min approx so the turn around time was quite brief}. That puts Josh within a few houses of KK's when he was asked to go back home, and only the girls continued past the few more houses to KK's.
One of the reasons I do believe this is what happened is something made Lindsey decide not walk straight down Maple to get home, but rather to take another way home.
Boondock theorizes she wanted nothing to do with her brother who was walking ahead of her, maybe within sight. So when Lindsey reached 6th St she took a right and walked up that road for a block and a half to where Fir St had never been paved, took a left and walked to where she would come to Libby's house if she wanted to swim again or to continue on the way to her house which I don't believe she wanted to go. It is speculated that Mr Oakes' dogs did sniff Lindsey going south up 6th but we have no verification of that, only hearsay.
The reason I believe this is what Lindsey did is because that walk would have put her walking right in front of Jim Mullin's house and then down the side of it as she turned left to walk on the path which is the dedicated area of Fir St. I think LE believed right away this is where Lindsey walked as they searched his property 6x's. :waitasec:
Why did we never question why so many searches right off the bat on this property? LE must have had good reason for their searches. Jim had only owned the property a few months and LE found no evidence of her on his property that we heard of. I don't think he had anything to do with Lindsey that night, she just walked by.
It leaves many more details to find and figure out, but I do believe she was snatched somewhere between 6th and Fir and her home,and not on Maple.
Thanks to Boondock for opening up our minds with her new post.
I think whatever this witness saw that supposedly made her fearful to let others know about, is crutial to solving the case and that she has told this to LE. Something spooked Lindsey, whether dealing with her brother or maybe the sound of loud pipes revving up from a white car she saw parked up the road. And so as she walked, she was trying to think of a way to stay clear of whatever scared her so she would stay safe. xox
PS: I also wonder if this person in the white car was close by as Lindsey started out on her walk home. She saw the car and he saw her walking alone. It could be that on some point during her walk he drove by her and stopped, offering her a ride home. Pure speculation on my part.
