That must be very taxing.
I don't think her dad picked her up. When the media first approached him a week or more after the alleged event, he knew nothing about it and said he'd seen his daughter that (next) day and she was fine, and had dropped her car off there and left. He didn't know his daughter was the woman the story was centered around, didn't know she'd been in the hospital, nothing. So somebody else picked her up, probably her BF, and then they brought her car to her father's house where she left her kids and her car. That was his first story, and since he seemed to be caught off guard, it appears to be the only truthful story he's told.
I was replying to GAgal who really originally came up the idea and that's the thread she was in. Thanks for noticing my post.
I'm thinking more and more that, because of her prior record, she's in danger of losing custody of her kids. One more arrest and social services comes for them. A rape charge was probably something that occured to her on the spur of the moment to get out of it and she made it not knowing the DA would jump right on it.
It was in one of the earier N&O stories.
I just joined FR today.
But what was the purpose of the first 911 call?
I think you're right; that why she didn't come up with an accusation until "subsequent interviews," as the police said.
Probably just to bust the chops of the partygoers. Kim was probably PO'd at some of the things that had been said to her.
You may have just nailed it. There's a story linked in one of Howlin's post to a gal (Ms. Bennett, I think?) who works for the NCCU newspaper, and she interviewed three different people who know Mangum and had nothing good to say about her. When Bennett went back to interview them again because her faculty supervisor for the paper said she should go with the stroy, two of the witnesses had clammed up and the remaining witness is a young girl/teen, I believe.
Is it possible there are nuisance and neglect reports about her and she was on the edge of losing her kids?
Try reading about this case before posting. NO DNA EVIDENCE WAS FOUND INDICATING A RAPE BY THESE COLLEGE MEN. NONE, NADA, ZILCH, ZERO.
This apparently is an attempt by a lowlife to get money from well to do WHITE men.
I was wondering the same. If it was Kim she sure didn't want to be connected to this mess. Maybe her family is unaware of her occupation. I really don't understand a 911 call for racial slurs..
I read that same one and I hadn't put that into the puzzle but you're probably right.
I'll have to go back to look at the news reports, but his story as I recall was that he DID know she was in the hospital (in fact I think one of the stories had him going to the hospital in the early morning hours and then going back home, perhaps without even seeing her), but that he DID NOT know she was supposedly a rape victim until later. I agree that the impression I got from the reports is that the BF probably drove her home from the hospital, and may have been there the whole 5 hrs.
On Rita tonight somebody emailed in that "I am a Duke student..." if you believe that -- but they said that what happened was the boys were disappointed because they were black and an argument insued.
But how do you account for the photos of them dancing?
It's got to be about the money -- and not having $$$ to pay the services and the middleman.
Are the kids not living with her father? Is there any real danger social services would take the kids away to a group/foster home if the grandfather was in the picture and considered to be a responsible person? Unless the father or fathers of the kids were actively trying to get custody of the kids?
I suspect the words; "Hey, Nifong, table 5 needs coffee", will be in his future.
