he won't walk, most likely.Great post kitty. Sets me thinking all over again but I'm certain there is plenty of evidence against him that we mere mortals do not know yet. He's not going to walk from this.
he won't walk, most likely.
But she will remain a missing person forever is my feaThey will add her name to the extraordinarily long list of victims whose remains were never found.
That is too depressing.
And his conviction, if it happens will add nothing to our search.
It doesn't even matter much anymore.
All we got is 'they believe she is dead'
could just as easily be 'they believe she is alive and sold into slavery'.
Meaningless without her recovery, dead or alive.
The balance of the information published is heavily weighed in favour of the perpetrator in terms of time and quantity.
Ditto - balance of state resources and budgets.
Is that not morally and ethically wrong?
You're right as always @altojack.I understand how you feel, it's just not right becoming an unfound. No proper farewell, nothing for the family. Just left hidden somewhere, rotted away. It hurts to think of the hours you have devoted to this case, and there will be more unfortunately, many more.
As far as balance of the information published is heavily weighted in favour of the perp in terms of time and quantity. Or is it really? No, no, no. The Prosecution are playing their arms close to their chest, take itfrom me, they know what they are upagainst, and they are ready.
Kitty, do yourself a favour, take some deep breaths, and step back, just for a few days. I want you around when we get to Court. To read the dribbles as they come in now and again. I don't want you over worked and in a shambles. You've given YY as much as you could, I've witnessed that but were at a point now we need rest, recuperation, and readiness.
I will in a while, just a few more searches... promise! LOLYes kitty, you and your "just saying", I know that one too. Now shut down your computer and step away. Have an early night for a change. Good night.

Well said and thanks for saying it. You summarised it really sharply.I share your frustration Kitty. Courtroom drama is not really my thing. I am much more interested in criminal investigation and in getting the family some answers. I can't even fathom that this guy who is not, as far as we know, a mastermind, serial killer, hid a body so well that it can't be found nor that he is so savvy, so tough, no seasoned interrogator was able to get the truth out of him in a jiffy. For me the investigation part is the hopeful part. The part where law enforcement should have the upper hand since this guy is not Ted Bundy. Crafty lawyers arguing back and forth, not for me personally.
