Daughter reflects on years of uncertainty over Stacey Boothe-Wilson's fate
"
He told police she had called his mother's house on Saturday to tell them where the van was. Leslye said she believes she spoke by phone with her mom that day, but only remembers hearing that she was in midtown Manhattan."
-Notice this information was straight from his hearsay?
"Later that week, Earle said he received a letter from his wife, with her credit card and Metro-North pass. Police sent the envelope and stamps to the Westchester County forensics lab, where a DNA profile was obtained from one of the stamps and submitted to a national database. It was that profile that eventually led to a match last month to bone marrow extracted from the remains in North Carolina."
-If you go to the article it shows a picture of the letter which I find strange being the sender address is the same as the receiver and there is a postal stamp. Why not just stick it in the mailbox or leave it on the desk? Since she licked the stamp I wonder if the mail was an unfinished one and someone added in the rest.
"Earle also gave police letters from Boothe-Wilson to each of the kids. Leslye said she only saw a copy of the letter when she was 15 and no longer has it.
Her father's relatives tried to convince her that Boothe-Wilson was troubled, leaving the family and not looking back."
-I wonder if a hand writing analyst has compared these letters to her handwriting.
"She said a Greenburgh detective told her in 2001 that they did not think Boothe-Wilson wrote the letters. "
- Who would have then is the question.. Right now circumstancial evidence is pointing to her ex-husband. She goes missing during his visit and all information on her disappearance came from him. The location of the car, and the multiple letters.
"But there was a link to the area. Earle and Stacey had been stationed in Camp Lejeune, had lived in Jacksonville in the mid 1980s and both their sons were born there."
- As soon as I found out she was a marine her location had significance to me because of the Marine base there ( I'm local to neighboring communities).
"'I kind of find it weird that if she wanted to leave and not be found, why would she go there, where her sons were born and the family had ties?' Leslye said."
- I second that! A woman who recently relocated her children cross country doesn't sound like someone trying to run from her life. There is something fishy about her disappearance.
