Do all remember the black boy that was Shawn friends with? (His name is Tony)
Well that boy (Tony) moved to Franklin County in late 2006. Devlin had taken Shawn out to see his friend twice in the weeks before Ben was kidnapped. The location of Shawn's friend Tony is very near Beaufort MO.
Directions to Tony's house were found with Devlin's possessions.
Greta just reported this and I think Devlin must have saw Ben and he scoped him out when taking Shawn to see his friend. So, this leads me to believe how he knew about Ben.
How far is Franklin co from the apt?
Oh, now I see - Tony's brother and family live near Beaufort now. OK.
The "leak" from "a source" that upset me so much the other day was the one that caused the sheriff to issue his statement.
It was implied in that leak that Shawn had to be the one holding the gun and doing the duct taping of Ben while Devlin drove. The leaked rumor *said* Devlin was driving while this was going on.
However, some recent Kirkwood neighbor statements have included people who saw Devlin teaching Shawn to drive AND who saw Shawn driving Devlin's truck on his own.
Leads me to believe that if Shawn were in the truck when Ben was grabbed, he *may* have been driving while Devlin did the dirty work.
If you thought you'd be killed, anyway, you'd do the same - which is what the other cops had said about this before the gag order.
