Sorry, I guess since it said "the body" "removed the trash bags and confirmed it was the body of Owens" made me think she was in one piece. Otherwise, I guess I thought it would say "remains". But since they refer to her as body, it make me think she was whole. Or I hope so. I don't know why I'm so much more disturbed at pieces.

I do think they found her in tact but she had been put in garbage bags. He probably put one bag in and then put another in it to make it stronger or he could have used multiple bags. I do think he was planning to discard her body but didn't get the chance. Thank God.

But if he used a lot of bleach on her little body and face it may be the reason they say she has not been identified yet. Straight bleach would disfigure her.:(

IMO
 
Imo, these witnesses are heroes. In so many many cases of child abductions no one sees or hears a thing.:( The child just vanishes into thin air and possibly later on they are found murdered or they are never found at all.

This case was wrapped up lightening fast due to the great witnesses that saw all of this happening and tried to stop it and the 30 police officers who hit the ground running from moment one.

IMO

I was amazed to read in that affadavit of probable cause that Michelle (the wife) was "adamant" that the license plate was 1YF 454. Which it was, exactly. Both her and her husband Carlos's descriptions of the suspect were on the mark as well. Considering how fast this all happened (about "10 seconds, if that" according to Carlos), I'm truly impressed with their observational skills, quick action, and clear-headedness in an unreal situation. Would have loved having them for neighbors when MY kids were growing up.
 
people are broken, this man is broken. I know people have posted that 3 hours is a long time, I disagree.

Ever taken a day off and you are doing a thing or two and BAM, many hours have passed?


I also think if Amber Alerts are to be issued, they need to go out immediately.

IMMEDIATELY.

Especially if they have details....they had a car make and model, tag number and description. IMO they do not need a childs name - any upstanding citizen who may have fit the description and driven the same vehicle would gladly be questioned for a moment to help rule themselves out.

I'm glad they got him, but feel they could review and revisit thier policies and procedures going forward, so maybe the next child could be found alive.
 
They said there was bleach on the floor. Probably trying to clean up the blood.
Don't know if he used the bleach on her body, would have to had to use it in her body if he was trying to wash away DNA.
 
There is a website for Missouri Courts. We are all sick and outraged by this horrific tragedy. I believe this is one case to follow in it's entirety to see she has Justice. Many times a week or a month one tragedy puts others in the shadow. He will go for arraignment in the morning. We can go to this website and follow the court records. We should all promise ourselves to do that and meet back here each time he goes to court. And meet back here to share our outrage in the future just as well as tonight. JMO

So dh just got home I told him who it was. I kinda figured he might know him since his cousin dated him in HS...and he did know him. Dh and CW partied all the time in HS and CW dad played guitar in dh church. Needless to say dh is in shock.

I have listened all day about the witnesses and what they should have done. Well I for one think they did awesome. The one guy that took after them in the car followed them for some distance until the wonderful 5 o'clock traffic got in the way. I know if I was ever taken or my daughters were I would want these guys and gal as my neighbors.

Cross-posted; my sentiments exactly!
 
Wonder how many single men keep bottles of bleach in their home?

I just read up on the Meredith Kercher case. Apparently, Amanda Knox's boyfriend, Rafaelle ?, a single man, had TWO bottles of bleach in his home.

Other than that, I have no idea.
