I am riveted by this case, for several reasons, but largely I'm sure because of its location here in the central Georgia area where I live. I grew up and have lived most of my life in a mostly-rural county neighboring Bibb County, where Macon is located. Going to Macon has been and still is for me "going to town" to do shopping or whatever. I have worked there and my daughter is a college (not Mercer) student there now.

Hi, Backwoods. Glad you decided to start posting again.

Just wanted to add a something to my reply to Backwoods' question about quoting a post in a closed thread.

If you want to reference a post in a closed thread, there's an alternative to the quote feature. Each post has a number. Click on the number, and a window will open with only the single post inside. You can copy the url and paste it as a link in your post. Then anyone reading your post can click right back to the quoted post to read the original text.

BTW, Backwoods, IF (still a big if), the rumor about the McD claiming to be a virgin and describing his neighors' apartments turns out to be fact, then I do believe this equation is a plausible explanation of McD's logic: guilty of burglary=innocent of murder.

[SmoothOperator]

During the interview, Burns said that they had sent about 200 pieces of evidence for analysis at the FBI and GBI crime labs, including pipes and drains from Gidding's apartment.

He also said they had several persons of interest in the case and are "getting closer."

He says one of their persons of interest, Stephen McDaniel, first came to their attention after Burns says he "inserted himself," into the search for Giddings and sought out media attention.

Wow so we now know there are over 200 pieces(more than dbl the original 74) of evidence that have been sent to the crime lab and are awaiting results.. IMO obviously those results most likely hold the key to tying whoever is the perpetrator to this crime..

As far as McD "inserting himself" and it is even noted in quotation marks in the article.. It says specifically that McD "inserting himself" into the search for Lauren..

If you go back to those first few days there are several of us who thought that this was very likely to what happened with exactly how McD became involved in being with this group of "friends" of Laurens that entered her apt as well as searched some other areas for any sign of Lauren.. Several of us felt it likely that when hearing these friends outside his apt(directly next door to Laurens front door)this being well after midnight of that Wednesday night into early hours Of Thursday morning.. Him coming out of his apt while the friends are outside of Lauren's front door and he inquires about what is going on?.. They probably relayed to him that none of them had been able to contact Lauren since Sat. Morning and most likely asked him, being her next door neighbor had he seen or heard Lauren and when was the last time he had seen or spoken to Lauren??..

And then as we know he along with these friends then used Laurens outdoor key to enter into her apt to see if there was any signs of Lauren, signs of a struggle, her belongings, and then also as we know per mcD's chattiness on air media interview we know about their going into Lauren's personal laptop email acct and looking for clues.. Which as we know McD went into GREAT DETAIL about..*

That combined with what wondergirl just posted for us from tonight's NG transcript her sister now says this email did not indicate this grave amount of fear that McD seemed so badly for us to believe.. Sister indicates that is not accurate at all.. Now seeming even more suspect is McD's strange elaborate measures he went into in discussing this going as far as to make this whine type of cry about why didn't they get her out of there if she was so scared!!??? Why didn't she come to me I have this little handgun for defense that i could've given her!!!..

Those are the words of McD:. And now hearing the stark contrast of what is the truth from her sister Kaitlyn.. It again makes these things from McD's mouth.. His behaviors.. Etc that much more suspect IMO..

Someone mentioned upthread that after reading Burn's words(which I have quoted in this post)it was stated they felt Burns was saying something to the effect that had mcD not inserted himself in the beginning that he most likely would not even be being looked at..

IMO this is not accurate at all.. I do not believe Burns in any way implied or stated anything even similar.. Infact the only thing is exactly what I have quoted that if anything just validates what many us thought early in the case.. And that is just as Chief Burns stated tonight, he "inserting himself" to the search for Lauren as well as McD sought out the media attention with as we know his chatty 20+ min on cam interview.. Nothing at all to indicate that he is NOT involved and nothing to indicate that had he not inserted himself that police would not have been looking at him.. Nothing of the sort was in any way stated or implied by Burns..

I am highly suspicious of McD's elaborate details of the email especially upon learning from her sister that thise details are not accurate in the least.. The very details that McD Harped on the longest and the loudest.. Hhhmmmm...

I'm not so sure that the sister was specifically meaning the email didn't mention some fear...sounds like she is meaning more that, whatever was stated in the email, Lauren had never seemed afraid of her living circumstances in general.

The details of that email!! Just wish we did know more of them. I think some very good possibilities have already been proposed here, both from the point of view of Lauren actually having written the email and from the point of view that the perp may have done so.

To be fair, I guess if you were looking for someone who had gone missing and the last email you found sent from their computer mentioned ANYTHING about a possible break-in or fear, it would be natural to focus on that, even if it didn't say "I'm afraid for my life!"

One thing I've wondered about the email: Say the perp did write it. Suppose it said something like, "you know, the hoodlums apparently were messing around my place the other night, trying to break in I think, and here I am already stressed over getting ready for the bar exam, I'm actually getting jumpy around here, not normal for me -- I need a change of scene. Think I may just go rent a motel room and disappear for a while, do some serious studying ... OR EVEN Think I'll go stay with (whoever) fora few days, but remember, my cell phone never works out that way so don't worry if I'm a little out of touch for a while."

That kind of email would have made more sense for the perp to write, rather than one saying "I'm really scared here", leaving the impression that someone needed to check in on LG. Of course, when things turned out as they did, it would have been a red flag that she DIDN'T actually write it... could it be something like that, with LE and family holding that info back for now?

The Chief gave an interview. http://www.13wmaz.com/news/article/1...or-Judge-Pirro

He said they have "several" persons of interest. And almost seems to say that if McDaniel had not inserted himself into the initial investigation....they might not even be looking at him that closely. Just a thought.

Hello, GypsiesTramps&Thieves. Welcome to all of you.

Thank you for the link. I'm afraid I have to agree with Smooth that the quote from Burns didn't leave me with the impression McD wouldn't have been a POI if he hadn't spoken to the media. All that time in front of the camera put him on the radar sooner, but I believe he would've made it there evetually, one way or the other.

The pass key notwithstanding, he knew Lauren, and dismemberment suggests a perp known to the victim. The location and placement of the torso indicate someone who lives in the vicinity, as it's highly unlikely a killer would return to the site to dispose of the remains. LE's interest in the downstairs apartment and removal of the refrigerator indicate the crime, or a stage of the crime, occurred inside, to which we can further conclude the perp was familiar with the property, and was confident the former tenants weren't going to pop in suddenly. And if McD was alone at home studying all weekend as he claims, then he has no alibi to account for his actions on Saturday night and Sunday. Those four facts alone are enough to bring him into sharp focus as a viable suspect, for now a POI. It doesn't prove he's guilty, but IMO there's no way he would've escaped suspicion.

<snipped for focus>

Missed this part the first time somehow, Bessie! I can see the thinking toward that possible equation, I believe. Also, yes, I do know the claiming to be a virgin and describing the apartments in detail is in the rumor category; sorry if I got carried away hypothesizing around those "maybe"s.

[SmoothOperator]

I realize that Lauren's sister was NOT disputing the word fear was in the email, but rather that the way in which Lauren's neighbor described this detailed fear.. McD stating on cam as he whines, "why didn't they get her out of her apt her being in such fear".. And stAting that, "why didnt Laurem come to me I have a little handgun for defense that I could've given her".. It's those very statements that are exames of McD's having going into elaborate detail that she was in fear..

The sister disputes the neighbor's (mcD) version.. She states it was Laurens neighbor that spoke this inaccurate version..

So while I am not disputing the word fear
Is In the email.. I, just as Lauren's sister states that she does not believe that McD's statements about the email are accurate.. I too feel the same..

Sorry if my wording was not clear.. Hopefully this is somewhat clearer..

I've missed anywhere where he accounts for his time that weekend, can you direct me?

Also, wouldn't it be interesting to know the tenants' normal habits of putting out the trash? You know, how some people let it gather up inside all week and then take it out to the outside bin at the last moment ...while some make regular trips out to the bin with their inside bags...? Wonder if there was other trash in the receptacle where the torso was found... and was any of it SM's. I'm sure all trash was gone over with a fine-tooth comb, just thinking it makes an intriguing line of inquiry.

Oh, no, you're fine. I was reminding myself as much you or anyone else.

Smooth, I think my comments center more around what I thought SM said in the interview rather than lack of clarity on your part in your comment. I probably need to go back and watch it again...much as it unsettles me to watch it!
I thought his comments about "if she's afraid, get her out of there" were aimed at bashing himself --an acting job and over the top though it may have been -- for "not helping her" rather than accusing others of knowing she was "in terror" and not coming to her aid. In fact, like he was saying, "if only I had known she was afraid", as though he, too, didn't suspect that Lauren was afraid there and now wished that he had known ....

It sure does! I'd love to read the report on their findings.

This photo was taken on Wednesday, July 13th, two weeks later. If it's any indication of what's normal, then the receptacles would have been full enough that the perp felt the remains would escape detection, which would have been the case had LE arrived a little bit later after the garbage trucks had picked up.






Regarding McD's statement of his whereabouts, I'm not sure I've seen it in print. In the interview, though, he mentions being home studying all weekend. Another rumor I read somewhere said he attended the review class on Monday.

FOX news program to focus on Giddings case
By PHILLIP RAMATI
A murder mystery that has kept Middle Georgia captivated for more than three weeks is now getting national media attention.
A nationally televised cable news program will focus on the Lauren Giddings killing in a show set to air at 9 p.m. Saturday on Fox News.

<modsnip>

The “Justice with Judge Jeanine” staff interviewed Macon Police Chief Mike Burns and Telegraph reporter Amy Leigh Womack about the case via satellite.

Members of Giddings’ family also will be interviewed for the program. Those segments were taped in New York.
<modsnip>
To contact writer Phillip Ramati, call 744-4334.

Something about this article clicked when I read it. If Chief Burns is worried this case might cast a bad light on Macon, then why do it if he has his man sitting in jail already? I can't help but think IF he had evidence supporting SM as the perp, then he would just say "Thanks, but no thanks" to the television people in order to protect the town and the colleges in the area from bad press. However, if he didn't have the perp in custody and needed help finding the monster who committed this crime, then going on national television might stir some interest and lead in a new direction.

Hmmm, you could be right.

Guess there are just several ways to look at it, though. If the case is already gathering a lot of attention -- and I think it is, understandably -- national outlets will hone in on it one way or another. Chief probably caught between a rock and hard place on it -- does he give the cold shoulder and risk media reading what they want to into that about local LE and their efforts/success, or cooperate and maybe, as you say, gather some useful info (if they don't already have their man) from the response.

I think it's the kind of case that the spotlight is likely to turn onto, no matter what.

Those are the words of McD:. And now hearing the stark contrast of what is the truth from her sister Kaitlyn..

Smoothoperator, your post is what I have considered to be the truth of the Break In email all along, which is substantiated by Kaitlyn as well as by the interview McD gives in his attempt to make it APPEAR that Lauren was afraid in her apt due to an attempted break in.
IMO he was attempting to paint a bigger picture to make it appear that "hoodlums" abducted Lauren.
NO body - NO murder -
And now it appears from Kaitlyn's comments in the interview that Lauren would have used her phone and not her laptop to send the email in the first place.

Upstream I posted my ideas in detail on this:

I had commented earlier in thread #2 that SM did not appear to be drugged or "out of it" as had been stated by "Harry Potter" and I really am still curious what makes Harry think that SM was "drugged out of his head" ???

Has anyone figured out why the chief was out in front of the appts about an hour ago? looked like an interview maybe? Anyone know?

Even if they have all the evidence they need to make an arrest and eventually get a conviction, they still don't have all the body parts. The family needs closure - they need to be able to bury Lauren and give her a proper funeral. There's really no reason for him to avoid the national media at this point. If they get a conviction, then Macon PD looks good, if they get help finding the rest of the body, then Lauren can be laid to rest. If this was in fact, a neighbor upon neighbor crime, and no one who knew Lauren or McD could possibly foresee such a horrific turn of events, its not a reflection on Macon and the people who live there, but on human nature itself. Its difficult to accept the fact that not all murderers are scary strangers, but one could quite possbibly be your timid, socially awkward next door neighbor. Burns NEEDS to allow this case to be in the media spotlight. I just wish they had asked for help finding the rest of the body early on. I'm sure they could have gotten lots and lots of help from the local community in organizing search parties. I'm sure that wherever body parts are located at this point, they will also find evidence of some sort that may further link them to the peretrator.

"Three apartments that had been sealed with police “Do not enter” signs were no longer marked.

Boni Bush, co-owner of the apartments, said she received a call from a police investigator Thursday night releasing the apartments.

The formal investigation of the complex is over, said Jami Gaudet, police spokeswoman.

Gaudet said police have not received results of tests performed by the FBI on evidence related to Giddings’ death."

Which is one of the things I love about gmail, too, but the google chat function (which her sister mentioned) that you can use on your left sidebar of the email screen is (IMO) clumsy outside of an actual computer. For instance, I find it completely plausible that LG was like many of us---studying for hours on end with the computer up, fully logged in to social media and email, and then switching to her phone as she popped in and out of the apt. I know people have mentioned earlier in threads that if you're studying that hard, you would go underground, but I know that even when I'm in the depths of studying, I sometimes play a game with myself in that if I get through a module or chapter, I'll allow myself to check in w/ email or facebook as a little study break or reward for slogging it out! :-)

IMO, it's not implausible that she'd stay logged in all the time on her computer AND phone. It's also completely plausible that someone entered her apartment for nefarious purposes---and as we discussed, the probability that this person is "close" to her (in knowledge, obsession, etc...) would take advantage of the fact that she stayed logged in (speculation, but seemingly substantiated by her sister) and know who a solid person in her gmail address book would be to email. I'm sure it would not be secret who she was dating, and to be honest, dating a top flight attorney from the most prestigious law firm in the state is not inconspicuous---especially for a 27 year old girl. He would be in her contacts, at the ready to email whether or not we believe LG sent that email. In gmail, the contacts who you email most generally come up the fastest.

The email is so significant---I'd love to know how the "voice" of that email compares with normal LG emails.

Agreed. And maybe you can answer this: Do we really believe that Macon LE is sitting around waiting for a massive package via snail mail from the FBI? There are several times that they have referenced the "mail." Color me cynical, but I find it hard to believe that Quantico would send these type forensics in a flat rate priority mail envelope, kwim? I mean, secure server email maybe? FBI field agent delivery? There just would seem to be too much room for error in trusting this kind of sensitive information in a non-secure method of transport. The local emphasis on "We're just waitin' on the mail..." has me rolling my eyes.

No, I don't think they are waiting for anything via "snail mail" from the FBI. I don't think I've read that anywhere. They did say they have received emails from the FBI and I believe they did say they went back out to the apartments to search again based upon those emails. If anything was to be received via "snail mail", (i.e. certified copies of lab results to be used later at trial possibly), they wouldn't need that to make an arrest. They could get all they need from the FBI via a phone call in order to make an arrest.

Yes Colonel - I find these remarks/ facts very telling indeed.

They say they are done yet they also say they have no word from the FBI on the forensic test results...all at the same time they seem to be allowing national media in. Hummmmmm

This seems to indicate to me that they don't have anything solid, on anyone at this point.

I hope I am wrong.

I hope so too. I do know that they have received some results back regarding the apartments. Hopefully they will make an announcement on the Fox News show at 9:00 tonight. Maybe this whole thing will bust wide open tonight and we will find out what all they have - finally. I seriously don't see them holding a national press conference to say "We still don't know anything".

No, I don't think they are waiting for anything via "snail mail" from the FBI. I don't think I've read that anywhere.

Thanks for that. Maybe it's just me getting tired of hearing the "we're just waiting" line. Of course, maybe it's not a line. Maybe it really is taking that long from Quantico, but it is so frustrating not to have any additional information to go on. It's forcing us all to "circle the block" with the scant information we have to date.

Is all of the show tonight pre-taped? I'm not familiar at all with the program, just know what I read in the article posted earlier. Is it live and then they'd run the segments taped with her family members, Chief Burns, and the Telegraph reporter they interviewed and then just discuss it all?

Would be interesting if there was a break this weekend.

I just can't help but think that if there was any conclusive evidence, the FBI would have found it by now. It's been several weeks. I hope that's not the case, but that they're just taking their time with everything.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a break...

I think of LG every time I'm out running.
