RDI has low plausiblity these days.
We'll see about that, now that the case is back where it belongs!
As a layman, I can see that finding DNA on more than one article of clothing that a victim recently changed into, just prior to being murdered, discounts the irrelevant DNA claim.
No, I get what you mean. I just don't think you understand me.
Investigators closest to the investigation believe the DNA was not innocently transferred. Remember that Lacy was a spokesperson for the DA's office, and not acting alone as you have claimed.
Spokesperson?! She was the damn DA! Moreover, HOTYH, I think it helps to take a look at WHO the "investigators" you speak of were! Or maybe it just doesn't faze you to know that they were handpicked BY the DA herself specifically because they agreed with her! That's not just my opinion. A lot of people, including some of her former campaign workers, have said that. And if they don't toe the line, they get booted out. Ask Jim Kolar if you don't believe me!
Heck, if you want a list of names, I'm game, brother!
That would be Linda Hoffman-Pugh.
Okay. Actually, HOTYH, I OFTEN search for things you and I talk about. NOT because I don't believe you; let me be clear on that. I do it to remind myself that you do have the ability to think outside the IDI "box" as you have on some occasions. Nobody says you have to agree with me, but
that's a side of HOTYH I really like!
She was being used as a pawn?
Not necessarily; Pam has a history of doing and saying things that added to the Rs' problems. But I believe that is what happened, yes.
Creative, nothing! This isn't just something I pulled out of thin air. We know from ST's book that Pam took several items of clothing out belonging to PR, which she was specifically ASKED to get. That's not "creative;" that's drawing an inference from existing circumstances.
What plot might that be?
So I gathered.
You believe that PR inadvertently spelled 'advize' in all of her exemplars, while spelling it correctly in the RN?
As I've told you before, HOTYH, I don't think about it that much. As I've also told you before, there are any number of reasons for spelling mistakes. Or maybe you just forgot how drugged up PR was those first few weeks. Who knows what that stuff does to a person's mind?
If I were to 'make up' stories, like PR using somebody as an unwitting accessory to remove evidence,
I like how you use "make up" in quotation marks. Leaves you an out.
I would come up with better stuff.
I go with what my brains and guts tell me. Sorry if that doesn't pass Creative Storytelling 101. But I'm being
straight with you.
For example, there would be a common reason why Christmas Day was chosen,
Chosen implies premeditation, HOTYH. Sure, I could come up with something, if I had reason to believe it.
and why beheading a six year old girl was presented, when it is a pretty remote, obscure idea.
I've given you a reason in the past, HOTYH: the note clearly was trying to sound like a terrorist. YOU yourself keep telling us that. And when most American laymen think of terrorism, they think of the Middle East. That was true BEFORE 9/11. And one of the things that is and was at the time common knowledge is that they chop off heads in that part of the world.
Beheading is NOT that remote or obscure. That's what I'm trying to TELL you. Who's "making up" things now? Have you ever run down just how often the idea of beheading appears in American popular culture ALONE? It's all over the place. Beheadings by race, by religion, by sex, by age, by geographical location, by seasons of the year, by time of day!
Beheading committed how? By sword, by knife, by ax, by machete, by guillotine, by super-strong fist, by truck, by car, by train, by shotgun blast, by flying blades, by ceiling fans, by helicopter rotors, by airplane propellors, by sliding plate glass!
Beheadings in film, in literature, in videogames, in news reports, etc, etc.
Let's take beheading on film, subdivided by the different genres of film, such as action, drama, horror, mystery and so forth.
Beheadings in video games, subdivided by the different genres there, such as fighting games, adventure games, role-playing games, action games, fantasy games, and on and on.
You getting all of this, or am I just talking to myself?
It had never even once occurred to me.
It's not YOU we're talking about, HOTYH. Last I checked, you weren't a journalism major with unfulfilled literary ambitions married to a man who just happened to be in the Phillipines during the anti-Marcos revolt, when many, MANY violent revolutionaries were coming out of the woodwork.
In other words, within each skull is a world all its own.
NOT exactly the popular vernacular as Tad would say.
Looks pretty popular to ME!
The reason would be that the perp wanted to be seen as an evil cruel person.
That's what I've been trying to say in the first place!
In my makeup story, the intruder wants to be seen as evil. What type of person would kill a child on Christmas night, after threatening to chop their head off to their parents?
In your makeup story? I like that. We're all just talking here, right?
Okay, to show I'm not a bad guy, I'm game. Well assuming that the threat was made afterwards (I don't), someone who really wanted to grind it in. Someone obsessed with revenge and spite.
