Sure Truth, I'll try to be brief, but I probably won't be:
- he had an alibi (his wife likely wouldn't cover for him or probably wouldn't be able to keep that kind of a secret)
- he lacked opportunity (his wife was sleeping next to him, family in the house)
- he had an explanation for the calls, and the timeline of Diaz/Pak visit to OB and the Diaz/Pak call to CPH fits the explanation
- your interpretation of court docs that he was somehow criminally or civilly found guilty of gross negligence while medically attending to a minor is incorrect, based on my interpretation
- your interpretation of court docs that he was in some kind of drug rehab is incorrect, based on my interpretation
- my guess is that MG later misrecalled the last name of the "Rehab" caller
- according to police, MG never informed police of the "rehab" call initially, so assertions about CPH by MG need to be viewed in the context of a mother looking for swift justice.
- Mari and those assisting her (i.e., findshannangilbert.com) have never posted her actual phone bill to demonstrate the time/date and originating phone number of the "Rehab" call (which she claims was prior to the first call that CPH reported to 48 Hours). If Mari was able to demonstrate that CPH indeed called her prior to the first reported call by CPH, this would probably change my opinion on CPH.
Do you remember the article where MG went with some blogger to meet with CPH and his wife? They seemed like decent people, and they seemed empathetic. CPH has a family, he's community-minded. Without more actual evidence, at this point I think he just got really unlucky when he ran into Diaz/Pak and made those calls to the family at their request. The MSM storm took over and he got swept up.
And as for why he didn't take a lie detector test, it's because he's smart. He actually listens to his lawyer. If the DA came to him with some decent circumstantial evidence and threatened to charge him, he probably would take a lie detector test to help clear himself as a suspect and avoid being charged. But right now, he doesn't need to from a legal perspective since it can only hurt him. From a publicity perspective, its already about as bad as it can get, so there's no need to take any additional risk that you make things worse for yourself.
Back on April 8, I found the facebook page that Shannan's sister set up and from there found the radio interview during which her sister talked (amongst other things) about the doctor, which I believe was the first mention of him. It is interesting to listen to the interview again:
http://herewomentalkradio.com/home/archives_details/650
The interview (with Sherre, Shannan's sister) starts about 26 minutes in. The part about the doctor starts about 42 minutes in.
One of the things she says is that when she and her other sister spoke to him in person he denied (or said he didn't remember) saying what Mari claims he said. But Sherre then goes on to tell the interviewer that she was there, with her mother, when he made the call. So that means she can corroborate that he said those things, even though she didn't have her ear to the phone (her mother must have repeated it right away and she probably could also tell from her mother's side of the conversation.) She said she thought the call happened a day after they filed the missing person's report.
I'm not sure what day that would make it, and whether or not that was before or after the doctor said he spoke to MP and Alex, but it certainly makes it credible to me that he did in fact say what Mari claims he said, which is VERY ODD (and even more odd that he "forgot" he said it.) Does that change your mind at all? (By the way, I don't know how Mari would have a phone bill with an incoming call listed anyhow - he called her, not the other way around.)
I also find it interesting that he would call the day after she was reported missing. Did he get that info. from someone in LE?
I'd also like to add that Sherre consistently comes across as well-spoken and intelligent and entirely credible. I believe her.
