Ok, I just got off the phone with the detective. He told me that it will hit major national news networks on Monday, so keep any eye out for it.
He also asked me specifically to post this here to all of you guys, so here it goes:
Any tips that you have, and he does mean absolutely ANY, even the silliest sneaking suspicion, he wants you to call the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC). The phone number is 1-866-362-6422. He said that they are in charge of logging all tips and they are personally following up on each one.
(respectfully snipped!)
I actually talked to him for a bit and he seems so sincere and really wants to solve this case so we can bring her murderer to justice. I agree 100%!
PrayersforMaura, Here is the tip number, if you haven't heard back from the detective on the case. Sometimes, people don't check their e-mails daily, or if you sent it to a secretary, they might deem it to not be important enough to pass on. BUT, he did say he wants absolutely ANY silly, sneaking suspicion!!!
SOOOO, I'm glad to hear that you e-mailed the office. I would say to call if you haven't heard from them in a day or two!
ALSO, Jane- I'll have to call you OJ, not just for Jane in Oz, but for Other Jane!!! LOL!!! I just got so focused on this possible tip, that I haven't been able to think of anything else! I agree with you that they might have been going for a water dump, but the case fell off the truck, or was dumped off the truck before they reached the water for some reason. Maybe, it was because the case started to reak, and they hadn't found a secluded place to dump the body yet, but as they were driving, this location looked secluded enough to go for it.
Again, who ever said this first...they probably weren't hunters!!!
EDIT INFO: I posted before I read all these other posts!!! Just a little more info, but not alot of news. A short blurb does not mean a national news blitz in my opinion---not trying to be mean or sarcastic, just telling it like it is. I guess we will find out if it hits the national news stations shortly!
About the weight difference...some people are alot heavier than they look! When I was thin, people always mistook me for around 120, even though I actually weighed at least 30 pounds more than that. They would never believe me when I told them I was closer to 160. They would make me stand on a scale--not kidding!!! I always won at the fair when they had to guess my weight, for the same reason. Even now that I am heavier, most people are shocked when I tell them I weigh 200 pounds...they tell me....YOU ARE NOT!!! BUT, the truth is that I do have alot of muscle, and muscle is heavier than fat. When I weighed 160, I wore a bikini and you could not pinch an inch anywhere on my body. So, I guess what I am saying is don't discount anything just because you think the weight is off. The weight is just a guesstimate. They can't have an exact weight because of decomposition and possible the effects of the cement.
