11:00 p.m. Cassandra goes to the house, and observes no cars in driveway gives Chris fundraising money and asks him if he's alone? He says yes and tells her Mom & Dad got into a fight and Dad's out looking for her.
From the pictures that were linked on the previous thread, Chris looks like he's about 9 or 10 years old. I hope the police have interviewed him in regards to the last time he saw Stacy.
My thoughts on all this..........Stacy is gone and it's been two weeks. If she were still alive and seeing/hearing all the national media attention her disappearance has generated, she would contact her family. I can't imagine her leaving her own two small children and leaving with another man. And, even if this were the case, I believe she would have contacted her sister in a day or two, especially after learning of the frantic search for her.
DP is a police officer. As a police officer he would know the standard procedure for a search for a missing person. I know we're supposed to presume innocence until proven guilty, but in this case, here's a hypothetical scenario. If DP killed Stacy and disposed of her body, I believe he would dispose of her remains well outside the areas he knows would be searched.
DP was missing from the family residence from sometime after 1:30pm Sunday until very late that night, sometime after 11:00pm. This provides ample time for DP to drive 100-200 miles away, dispose of the body, and return home. The fact that both vehicles were missing that day suggests that DP had help.
We're almost at mid-November. In the next two or three weeks there will likely be snow storms in the area, which would cover any sign of disturbed earth. If Stacy isn't found soon, she may never be found, as by spring, any signs of a recent grave would be difficult find.
I think if this case is to be resolved, it's going to be from someone confessing to their knowledge of what happened. I don't think DP will confess, but I suspect someone else has knowledge of DP's whereabouts that day. I believe someone helped him move cars and someone coming forward with this information may lead to other information that might find Stacy.
