UT UT- STILL MISSING 5 -Year-Old Elizabeth Shelley , Logan, 25 May 2019 (UNCLE ARRESTED) #2

[Snoopgal]

Father of missing Utah girl, 5, defends the child's 21-year-old uncle who was arrested after he was found 'with her clothing' as police maintain he knows where she is and is lying to them.

The father of a missing Utah girl said he doesn't believe that her uncle would have harmed the five-year-old.

Elizabeth Shelley was reported missing from her home around 10am on Saturday.

Later that day, authorities arrested the child's uncle, Alexander Whipple, 21, who police reportedly found walking around with some of the girl's clothing in his hands.

I would encourage anyone who reads this article to actually read the entire quote (from fb) from the father. The quote is pictured in this story. He did not defend him. He basically says that when he knew AW 4 years ago he didn’t seem like a guy who would do this, but a lot can happen in 4 years. I think it’s unfair to drag dad into this. If I was him I would be very upset about a major article saying I was defending my daughters attacker. MOO
Also no offense to the original poster of the link!

Did nobody else hear that part? I am sure that was said.

 

[oviedo]

They said during the PC that there was no evidence of a sexual crime?

The only evidence we know of are her clothes - so perhaps nothing recovered on them? JMO

 

[JerricaBenton]

No. The chief said they have DNA evidence that links the two of them.

A journalist asked if there was evidence of a sexual crime, and he said no.

Can someone please advise what a 'suicide vest' is, which some are saying he was wearing?

Example:

Safety smocks standard wear for many prisoners on suicide watch

The PDThis gown called a safety smock is often used in area jails and prisons when a prisoner is on suicide watch. It is designed to prevent a person from self-harm.

The smock, developed more than 20 years ago, eliminates potential hazards of standard shirts, pants and even underwear -- clothing that can be ripped and fashioned into a rope or noose -- that a distraught person could use to inflict self-harm. Buckles and zippers can be swallowed or used to cut the body.

The heavy-duty nylon safety smock -- about $300 each depending on the manufacturer -- is tough to tear and too bulky to fashion into a rope or loop for hanging. The 4.5-pound smock is collarless and sleeveless. A series of one-inch Velcro strips are used to close the smock and adjust openings for the head and arms. Smocks are machine washable and can be put in a dryer.

Ok. Thank you.

Let this be the extent of his cruelty, please.
Imo, this means her blood was found.

Glad the baseball bat was cleared up. I still think he found it on the road or in a park. Moo.

More info from Chief Gary Jensen of the @Logancitypolice regarding the disappearance of Lizzy Shelley. Chief Jensen says they have strong forensic evidence against Alex Whipple linking him to the case including DNA, blood. @KUTV2News #FindElizabeth

I’ve just not made any opinion on this issue, I’m leaving it to the pro’s.

I’m more concerned about his course through the day and the search

Pretty much the same, that is why my opinion can change as we find out more directly from LE. It is also why I close out no possibility generally.

I agree the overall concern is where she is. I think we are all leaving it to the pros and going by info they give out. I know I am. As far as his course through the day and the search, I am leaving that to them as well.

And praying they find her and soon.

Jmo.

 

[Inthedetails]

From the presser, the Chief said they have DNA evidence that links the two of them. Didn't indicate SA. If he thinks there was SA, he did not state that. IMO, it doesn't matter at this point because they have enough to charge him for other crimes against her.

No, they never said that it wasn’t sexual, but there was no talk of semen.
Last question of the presser:
“When you say that some evidence was found on him, are you saying that blood was found on him?

-I’m not saying. ..but we did have evidence that we found with him, so, yes.”

No. The chief said they have DNA evidence that links the two of them.

Oh, ok.

 

[Herat]

Did nobody else hear that part? I am sure that was said.

I am SURE LE wouldn’t possibly say that.

Until they actually have her, they can’t state it one way or another

 

[Elliot_Alderson]

He could have used the skateboard as a weapon. The trucks (the metal parts that hold the wheels) are pretty heavy. I just knew when I used to skate, that was our go-to potential weapon when in dark, unfamiliar areas or bad parts of the urban landscape.

Did nobody else hear that part? I am sure that was said.

It was said there was no evidence of that when a reporter asked if there was indication of sexual assault. Not exact words. <modsnip>

Wow, this is wrong on so many levels. Talk about click-bait!!! Yes, please read the Father's comments IN CONTEXT on facebook. I'm going to personally send a comment to this reporter's editor.

Gross.

He reminds me of the "I got Court" starter pack.

They said they had no evidence of a SA. Obviously, if they find her, they will have more evidence.

A journalist asked if there was evidence of a sexual crime, and he said no.

Awesome clarification.

People were earlier saying AW was wearing a suicide vest... so this is what they think he was wearing then?
