(Sounds like when he drinks he gets sullen and introspective, not violent and abusive.)

[jacquej]

LOL, politicalmom... we should start a flatforehead society!

[Politicalmom]

She didn't SAY angry, she said upset. Upset does not equal angry or mean or abusive.

[shezza]

Dusek again. Asking about form he showed her.

[Freedom2specul8]

Spec, nope...the criticism on too much drinking goes both ways..there is something else here..other than the upset part that I'm not quite getting. I wonder what he would have told susan L if he didn't get so "quiet". Maybe he has something to tell...maybe he told susan what it is.. I have to wonder....what does he think about that gets him so quiet, subdued and upset while he's drinking.

[Freedom2specul8]

Right, I didn't write angry..and would have been ''upset'' if I had. I interpreted the upset as "sad".. but it doesn't mean he wouldn't mean either. Frankly, withdrawing emotionaly and socially while "partying" is mean if ya think about it.

[Jaded]

Ya know back in the day (i won't say which one) when I used to drink sometimes I was EXCEEDINGLY happy. Sometimes I was a pathetic crying drunk. Sometimes just moody and snippy, I know, you find that hard to believe. Rarely was I hung over and never did I murder anyone. Oh, and I always remembered when I made an ass out of myself.

[jacquej]

Kim, just in case you are a "teetotaler"... everybody's personality chnages when they have a few...

I prefer those who get quiet, somewhat withdrawn, or a bit silly, to those who get mean, belligerant, and argumentative...

[UCANSEE2]

So they "swung", smoked pot, and partied! So what?

It is not what they did, it is what happened while they were doing it.

No one cares if you swing, smoke pot, or party either, but if you daughter ended up missing/dead, and police come to you and you LIE repeatedly from the very first moment and up through the trial,then, worry more about your makeup and breast size than about your dead daughter, now worry more about a new BMW, going to the state fair, and buying a new $850,000 house (when you don't even have a job), well, THAT'S WHAT!

Maybe you should quit smoking pot and pay more attention to what's going on !

[shezza]

I have to wonder....what does he think about that gets him so quiet, subdued and upset while he's drinking.

Here's a few...son into pornography, two divorces, abandoned by mother, "horndog" dad, problems in his relationship with Susan (she'd left him twice), freelancing/owning own business. I can think of lots. Not a one of them has to do with animals. ;o)

[Jrabbit]

Exactly!! Unlike Brenda who becomes manic, trolling for sex in the neighborhood bar. And who knows what Damon is like? Maybe he becomes amorous and snuggles with whoever shows up in his bed in the middle of the night!!

[shezza]

When defendent was drinking would he become forceful? Susan: "I remember one occasion in which he did."

[Freedom2specul8]

Scuse my source..CTV HOST just said that dw gets FORCEFUL WHILE DRINKING???? I was concentrating on posts.. :(

[mommya]

"DW, according to Susan L his former girlfriend, gets upset, quiet and subdued when he drinks. She left cuz of the drinking.. ."

What do you make of it? It could still go two ways - upset could go toward suiciadal. Or - it could mean violent. Hmmmn - she just said forceful - what the heck does that mean?

[shezza]

SGT Holmes, SDPD.

[connectthedots]

Gray & blue comforter in the RV and matching sheets. Hmmm.

I dare anyone to locate sheets and comforters that are made of nylon. A cotton/polyester blend; sure, but not nylon. Further more, the polyester, or nylon if that was possible, would be a BCF (bulk continuous fiber) and would 'pill' rather than shead.

If the prosecutor is going to attempt to claim the fibers are from sheets/comforter, he had better have the fibers retested to make sure they aren't polyester. You can take it to the bank that the sheets and comforter were not made with nylon fibers.

[Politicalmom]

I agree.

Geeze, leave the man alone. Maybe he thinks about all his faults, and how he messed up his life with divorces and all. That would upset anybody. At least he seems to HAVE a sense of shame, and he wasn't getting drunk and loaded and inviting the whole bar home.

[shezza]

Called at home 11pm Monday night Feb 4, proceeded to NE substation. At that time DAW was already a suspect in the case.

[spectre]

Kim, you can't be objective if you just focus on DW alone. Remember, the VD's also drank and so did the people around them...especially that evening.

What personality changes did they experience, and with the child right under the same roof, to boot?

How can this be so one-sided?

[Freedom2specul8]

Yer right of course...and now the forceful bit, at least once.. let's ping goldenstategirl's mental health expertise..
