One more thing--
I unsubscribed.
As many other WS members (some of whom I consider to be WS varsity/legends) have already declared, I'm stepping back from this case.
I'm uncomfortable with all the mixed-messages we're receiving from a variety of sources, and the undercurrent of apathy I'm spidey-sensing from parties unnamed.
My prayers are for Christina, resolution, and the PPD, whose job seems infinitely difficult with the swirl of inconsistencies that have driven us bonkers.
I may pop by to see if there are updates, but much like TES, I don't plan to return until there are credible leads.
Here are my parting thoughts before I sign off--
Please choose your words and thoughts carefully.
WS is an excellent crowd-sourcing tool for generating ideas to help bring missing people home and in generating awareness, and it serves an important role in our society. I'm grateful for it, and I believe in the members' integrity and sincere desire to bring about justice.
I say this with utmost love and respect-- as a legal investigator, I cringe when several theories or names/players start to rapidly gain member-momentum, especially if the theories emerge with equal strength simultaneously. I worry that it could be a playground for a defense attorney's team of strategists when it comes time to create reasonable doubt.
What are alternatives that could have happened?
What are reasonable people likely to agree could have happened?
I'm thankful for the moderators, who remind us of the rules and enforce them when necessary, because I think a big part of their role is in guarding against what I just described-- and it can't be an easy task!
Y'all are smart and caring and tenacious, and I'm proud of you.
Keep on keepin' on.
