BM told the reporter he believes SM is still alive. If so, why does he not continually plead for her return? Push that reward. I think that's what I would do. This is a legitimate point. Maybe it's more like he "hopes" as opposed to "believes" SM is still alive?
The Valentine's Day note from SM to BM reveals no indication of anguish, anxiety, fear nor anything that might lead one to thinking there were any significant problems in the marriage. It presents quite an opposite impression. Yes, the note is months old but SM also might have shared her thoughts with her daughters regarding their father and it should be easy to determine if the note is legit. It would be difficult to forge such a lengthy script and outpouring of written emotions.
I'm once again placing the Cool-Aid (misspelled intentionally - don't wanna p off business lawyers) glass back on the table and freezing my thoughts on this case. Of course, one VD letter and a hidden-from-the-public tearful breakdown hasn't convinced me of innocence. It's more the plethora of what we believe constitutes as 'evidence' pointing to a certain someone's guilt... really doesn't. Much of it could be explained in various ways but without more info... well.
We have, essentially, no officially-verified evidence that might indicate guilt. Circumstantial, .....okay. We have heard of odd behavior, we've witnessed lack of at least public-facing action but we have varied hems-and-haws from people (family and LE-types) who have had direct communication with lead LE but such second-hand info hasn't been made clear... at least some comes across as conduit's assumption or opinion and likely based on incomplete or inadequate information.
Do I suspect a certain someone? I need more... and I've a feeling we'll not be getting that any time soon.
One more thing: if my daughters were fearful I would do anything to quell their fear, and that would include packing up and moving out of a dream house. There is so much we don't know. Too much.
...returning back to *lurk mode*.
