Right. The timeline shows the reverse, IMO. After extensive searches for nine days, they got a search warrant for the family residence. Four days later (13 days after SM went missing), they excavated his work site.
Their language seemed to change. They’ve never issued anything indicating an unknown abductor took her.
Is it possible that a known abductor took her as at least one poster (
@Feistyomi?) seems to believe, and they’re just not coming out with that info because they’re gathering their evidence against that person?
It’s possible. I guess it’s possible that nine days after the searches they obtained evidence of some other person having possibly stalked and/or harmed her.
However, there was enough in the first 9-13 days to obtain probable cause to search locations associated with the husband. And in absence of any evidence about a stalker,
I’m relying on the odds in these cases to guide my suspicions.
It has been my belief all along, that LE would not have focused only on BM, in the beginning. Nevertheless, they WOULD investigate him thoroughly, while ruling out ALL the possibilities. Because he could have hired the abductor. So they HAVE seemed to focused on BM. We’ve just not seen the other focus.
I realize I keep repeating myself, the only real case like this, that I have lived thru was Shari Fay Smith. My memories as Josephine B Public very eerily similar. It became obvious it WAS a kidnapping and her killer phoned the family. He lead them to believe they would get her back alive, after she was dead and buried.
We, the public knew she WAS missing, but we didn’t find out everything until her body was found. Yes there were differences, BG had to use pay phone and that info was publicly announced, ultimately that helped catch him. Be on the lookout, sure, but times have changed, burner phones, or there may be no indication from a kidnapper.
I can’t necessarily explain it, just eerily similar.
LGB, tried to claim insanity at his trial but he still got the DP.
He did appear to be unstable before he was apprehended, and maybe that’s the similarity I’m feeling here. LE did have to walk somewhat of a narrow line, especially when there was that hope Shari was still alive, that is what I’m sensing, LE as well as family and friends trying not to panic someone other than BM.
So I admit that I have had a bias from many threads ago. Once I started in that direction, tho, many of our puzzle pieces have fallen in place for me.
The biggest obstacle IS the slab work, however it is possible someone else was around the slab. most construction companies have long term employees, w/a few temporaries, for bigger jobs. This seems a stretch even to me, so I try not to push it. Possible, not likely, that WILL shock me.
I’m trying not to post as much, so this is lengthy....sorry.
