Thank you, RememberTara.
The only problem is Mr. Harper has been a POI for a long time now and I'm sure at least one mature cop has looked into all this. Plus, no one saw Tara at the Whitehorse that night. True, Mr. Harper could've had time to go to Tara's--say he gets there at 1:25am, commit the crime, and then contact the police dispatcher at 1:49am. But wow that's tight. Did he leave her body in her house and then come back later? Because he wouldn't have had enough time to dispose of it before 1:49am, right? Once again, it's tight. And no way he leaves her body in his car or truck--no way. Like I said, I'm sure somebody's looked into this. My only question regarding this is: Did he call the dispatcher at 1:49am or did he show up at the dispatcher's building at 1:49am? That could be a big difference.
The problem I have with Tara going to the Whitehorse after the party is she left the BBQ around 11pm. Mr. Harper was seen at the Whitehorse until after 1am. What did she do? Sit in the parking lot for two hours? Maybe. I don't know. She knows her friends are there since they called her--why not go in?
sundrop, so the married cop showed up at Tara's house early Sunday morning not Monday morning? Yes, that makes more sense now. I don't remember: Did he say if her car was in the driveway or not? Btw, I am under the impression he had nothing to do with her disappearance at all--he's the guy who tried calling Tara 22 times on Sunday, right? Well, nobody who wants to remain out of the police's spotlight does that because he knows they'll check his phone records eventually since his biz card is in her door. Sure, maybe, if the married cop did it, he calls Tara like 3 times over Sunday to make it look convincing. But not 22, because that would take him in the opposite of direction that he wants to go in relation to being/not-being a POI if he's guilty.
I have other questions about the latex glove: 1. Does everyone here believe it doesn't match any of the men of interest in this case? Or, is that a smokescreen that police have been perpetrating all these years? 2. If the DNA truly doesn't match any of the men orbiting around Tara, do the police know who the DNA does match and they haven't been able to draw a connection between the DNA owner, Tara, and who the police believe committed the crime?
One more thing: Is anyone bothered by Tara's cellphone being at home on the charger? Think of it this way: With the broken lamp, the clock under the bed, and a few other things in disarray, the average person would think a fight had taken place. Like, a burglar broke in, there was a confrontation in the bedroom, and the burglar won. But I'm thinking this: If there's a fight in the bedroom, how doesn't Tara reach for her phone? I mean, a lot of other things got pushed out of place. But the cellphone sits there connected to its very delicate wire as if nothing happened in that room. We all know of stories of women who've heard a break-in and the first thing they do is? Reach for the cellphone. Even more so, we know of several stories where a woman has been surprised at home and managed to get to her phone and dial 911 as she is being chased in her own home. But Tara's phone was close to her bed in the room where an alleged fight took place and it doesn't seem like she reached for it at all.
I don't know. Maybe it's nothing. But it does feed into my paranoia that every single thing inside and outside Tara's house was planted and setup to make it look like something happened there when nothing really did.
