What do you mean by Derions family stepped up when Maleahs blood wouldn't?
Derion's mother took all 3 of the children in when no one else would. Not BB's family, not CD's family. I thought I made that clear in my post.
How does his brother visiting him in jail point to him not knowing anything about what happened?
It doesn't and that is not what I posted. What it does show is that the family is close and Joe Jr.'s comments made me think that he comes from good people.
DV's father said he and his brother are close. He lived in the same city until recently. How would he not know DV had a postal route for over a year?
Joe Sr. said Derion only worked for USPS for 72 hours, not Joe Jr., so I am confused by this one.
LE seems to think they are not being truthful and I think there is a reason they claimed he never worked on that mail route. Imo
I missed where LE said that the Vence family is not being truthful.
Hi, yes, thank you. The part I got confused by was "Maleahs blood" I thought you meant the actual blood that was found in the apartment. I took it to mean literal blood so that's why I couldn't figure out what it meant.
I do understand that the family was placed in her home, I guess I just didn't make the connection because I thought it was a reference to the blood found in the home! I get it now. As I said before, those decisions are left up to the judge and we don't know the reason for where she was placed.
I had just attempted to answer by thinking of all the things the courts consider when placing children in a home. Naturally they will always try to find a home with relatives first.
LE had stated that the family was not being forth coming and they wish there was more cooperation. They have stated they stand by their warrant and the search in the mail route. That is the statement they made that was posted in an article the other day, in response to DV's claim.
In the Nancy Grace interview, Tim Miller stated that they confirmed that he had a mail route for over a year with two postal inspectors. They said this is important because DV and his family are denying this, and therefore they feel the search is justified. DV knows the area well and Tim said there were a lot of isolated, swampy, areas filled with brambles.
I'm sorry I misunderstood your meaning of the family. And I agree that his brother going to see him shows they are close. This is likely why they are defending him.
But I'm not sure it means they are good people, based on what we have learned. If his brother really wanted to help him he would encourage him to tell the truth, or at the very least tell LE where Maleah is, so they can bring her home and her own family can have some closure.
LE has made it clear that the evidence supports that Maleah was murdered and they believe he knows where she is. The family can only ignore the evidence for so long. They need to cooperate, as well as anyone involved, or anybody who knows where Maleah is. I suspect more than just DV knows where he disposed of the body. Imo
