I am sitting here banging my forehead on the keyboard... WHY they did NOT retreive the remains the FIRST time they found them floors me. I don't CARE how bad the weather was. With the COMPLETE remains there might be a way to determine death (ie. skull or hypiod bone fracture.)
The only excuse could be that they DO have some VERY FACTUAL evidence against SP that ties him to the murder. They do realize that without the head being weighed down by the body it is going to "drift" with every boat, passing tide, etc... and forget about the hypoid bone exam.
It is the divers.. they are tightly regulated by underwriters and peer pressure. There is almost no more dangerous place for a diver than a shallow water pass with it's liquid bottom and strong shallow current. The shallow water exposes the diver to wave action as well as current and they simply can't maneuver,and can be swallowed into the moving bottom which can hold them under until it shifts again.
The same applies for anything else on that bottom(and bottom is a misnomer) B/C sometimes you can be ten feet underground before you would feel a solid resistance. Thats how it is on both banks of the channel, in fact halted ship traffic for a few days sometimes closes the channel completely. That's why dredges must constantly operate.
What I simply do not understand is why didn't LE release the info about lacy being found but not exactly where, and set up a stake out to catch the perp when he/she showed to retrieve the remains,RED HANDED. I mean they had all this electronic surveillance on SP. Maybe they were afraid there STAR witness might show instead..no no Th that's right she was under surveillance in Florida. All this surveilllance and they can't stake out Laci and Connor and they can't move. Sorry, I Can't help but question things like this when I see them and with MPD I see so many so often.....It is not a lot of fun but I feel compelled to make it better if I am able
Let's see where we stand: 7 unsolved murdered women in last 2 years...4 with bodies 3 w/o bodies...1 arrest....No convictions and no trials expected for 3 1/2 years(using mouser as a guage)....Less MPD 60% Appeal Overturn Rate at the Federal level( no wonder there are almost never executions in Ca).....Equals much concern as to whether justice will be achieved in the Laci and Connor Murder......;-0).....(Ray wonders if those figures concern anyone else or if is it just him over reacting???)
