Police arrested two people Thursday in the death of the 12-year-old Bridgewater girl but released them Friday without laying any charges. By law, an arrested person cant be held for more than 24 hours unless charges are laid.
"Theyve been arrested, questioned and released," RCMP Const. Grant Webber said. But, he said, "theyre still part of the investigation."
Karissa Paige Boudreau, 12, missing 1/27/08 from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia
Police refused to release the sex or ages of the two people.
"All were saying is, these people certainly wouldve been known to Karissa and thats about as much as we can say," said Sgt. Mark Gallagher, a provincial RCMP spokesman.
Investigators had previously spoken to the two but they "probably didnt see themselves as suspects at the time, but as the investigation carried on, it obviously turned around."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the things that troubling me:
1. Lack of winter clothing Karissa was supposedly wearing.
2. Why stop to pick-up a coffee & a drink - 1 km from home
3. Karissa didn't have her cell phone with her.
4. Mother works at a competing grocery store (Sobeys) yet stops at the
Superstore.
5. Store closes at 5:00 she knew that,yet chose to go in about 5:20. It is
common knowledge when you work at a grocery store, you are not
pleased when customers enter the store after closing as you want to
go home, it is very inconsiderate.
6. When the mother came out and found her gone, wouldn't she assume
she may have gone into the store for something or to look for her?
7. Why not stop at a gas station or convenience store?
8. Surveillance tape shows the mother getting out of the car and going in,
but not Karissa leaving the car.
9. Although the mother drove around for 3 hours looking for her, did she
phone any of her friends?
10. When was the last time, Karissa talked to any of her friends?
11. When a body was found on Sat. and it was stated the body would not
be ID'ed until Wed. which then turned out to be Thurs., why wouldn't
she volunteer to make an ID? As hard as that may be to do as a
mother, it would easier to do that then wait 4 days, which turned into
5 days.
Also from today's paper:
"Passersby found Karissas body under snow just before noon last Saturday about halfway between the icy waters of the LaHave River and a turnaround area on Highway 331, the road from Bridgewater to Conquerall Bank. RCMP investigators were briefly back at the site Friday afternoon to take a measurement over the side of the bank."
This turn around site is within walking distance from Karissa house. Someone dumped her over the bank from that turnaround site like a bag of garbage...it is just heartbreaking.
Yes this case is reminding me of Susan Smith and of Madeleine McCann as well (small window of opportunity)... and the fundraising.
