lol ok
I said "Police record their telephone conversations. Easy enough for them to analyze the voice and determine who it was they spoke to." and you said that is where the digital recording devices come in. I'm not seeing the connection, if you can help out please.
Ok, here goes
Just a theory, pure speculation from what we know as of now
MSP have said they are certain the guy who said he was Doug that was in the shades and hoodie that paid the bill Monday was not Doug. They are certain he was an imposter/impersonator. We know that impersonator had a credit or debit card of Dougs.
IMO if Doug had someone pretend to be him and he left his credit/debit card with the imposter, I believe he also left his personal cell phone with the imposter. There is no way DS would have brought his cell phone to MI. He knew it would ping there. Im sure the imposter had access to Dougs apartment as well. I think he also was driving the car around NN that day.
Anyway, I think DS planned this out before hand. The digital voice recorders were taken for a reason right? I mean weve talked about the BG passes for days because it has been said over and over you cant just take things unless they have evidentiary value to the case. So, LE feel/felt those recorders had value to the case.
Lets just say DS made a few recordings like Hello This is Douglas Stewart Yes, I am married to Venus Stewart Oh, no! Shes missing? What happened I was home all day today except to pay a few bills Follow me???
So, MSP make a call to DSs cell. Someone picks it up. A few of the voice clips are played. The conversation goes something like this
.
DSs cell: Hello (DSs voice from the recorder)
MSP: Hi, can I speak to Douglas Stewart?
DSs cell: This is Douglas Stewart (DSs voice from the recorder)
MSP: Mr. Stewart, are you the husband of Venus Stewart?
DSs cell: Yes, I am married to Venus Stewart
MSP: Sir, we hate to bring bad news but Venus is missing and we are calling to see if you have any information about where she may be.
DSs cell: Oh No!, Shes Missing? What happened? (DSs voice from the recorder)
MSP: Mr. Stewart, where were you this morning around 7:00-8:00 am?
DSs cell: I was home all day today except to pay a few bills (DSs voice from the recorder)
When those recordings are analyzed, DSs voice will be proven to be on the tapes right???? So, he thinks that is proof he was home. BUT, LE has the recorders.
***Now, I realize it did not got exactly as I have put forth. But, if only a couple of voice clips were used, it would prove DS was on the other line right? Or at least he thought so.
