Two missing girls

The police have no idea on this other than to focus on the parents. I think they have all watched too much cop TV and think they will be able to badger a spontaneous confession from someone in lieu of anything else. When you have no leads or ideas than badger the husband, wife, parent etc even if you can ID no motive.

Some cases you might be right, but this family smells funny to me. One of the girls' parents: both have been in jail for drugs, one has a restraining order against the other that was lifted for only dealing with this issue. The dad was supposed to plead guilty to making meth the day before the disappearance and changed his mind to go to trial. The mom is the one who has now taken a 2nd lie detector test.

Not saying it's the dad, hell, the mom could be a nasty*** too, but something isn't well in that family.

A lot of people are beating up the local law enforcement over what they perceive to be incompetency regarding this investigation, and that makes me angry.

Very easy to blame it on law enforcement.... Most people in the cedar valley have positive thoughts on how the local law enforcement and other agencies have been handling this case. Of course, no one will be happy until the girls are found.
 
I think the KWWL subpoena is evidence of a crime: perjury. The family made specific accusations about law enforcement in that interview that ought to be provable, i.e. being summoned in the middle of the night, accused by police of involvement with the abduction, etc.

If any of these things are not true, they have the double effect of being chargeable, while also drawing even more suspicion onto the family.

This.

Everyone up here wants the girls to be returned safely, and everyone will be suspicious until the case is closed (or forgotten in the event that it goes cold). But I don't see many up here actually questioning how the authorities are handling this whole thing. I see more people frustrated that they can't help get them back more than anything. I will say this: the community support (the concert at NCC on Sunday, for example) is amazing. Posters, flyers, bumper stickers are everywhere. The other thing I really liked was there were huge vinyl banners all around McElroy, inside the building, and that Five Finger Death Punch even talked about it. The constant speculation about what the enforcement agencies have/haven't looked at is pretty asinine.

lying in a media interview wouldn't be perjury. And while lying to the police is illegal, I'm not sure that lying about them in an interview is.

Really? They were under oath and lying in a trial?
 
And now an uncle of one of the missing is in the hospital because of a drug overdose.


What a great family.
 
I'm wonderning if Dan Morrissey owes someone some money or did some dealer wrong.
 
Maybe not perjury in the official sense, but if a party was making statements known by officials to be false, they would want evidence of that if they ever went to trial.

If they were knowingly making false statement, the police would be able to slap them with an obstruction of justice charge.


Honestly, I think because of the families past history, they may be withholding information from he police because they might not trust them. Running around telling news stations stuff that can be construed as "lying to police" isn't too smart on their part, but then again, they have had problems with meth in the past so their decision making skills probably aren't the best.
 
I would say 90% chance that this shady family has something to do with their disappearance, either directly or indirectly.

Law enforcement around Waterloo agree with you.


I did see this morning that Dan Morrissey got his trial for next week delayed. Some Waterloo police members think he had something to do with it to gain leniency with the court since he's facing 30 years...
 
Anything new? My free trial of the DSM Registurd has run out.
