and so it begins

i called it. 

this does not surprise me at all.  

dude lawyered up right away.  if you had nothing to do with anything, why would you need to do this?  and criminal defense attorneys are not cheap.  so unless you had something to hide, why jump that way right out the gate?

and one thing that has bugged me.  right from the beginning, the first article said that after she was seen at the grocery store, she and her "fiance" met to "exchange" their daughter.  that made my feelers go up right away.  having worked in family (divorce) law early in my career, you would only meet the other parent to "exchange" your kids if there was contention and discord.  parents going through a divorce would meet in a parking lot at a McDonald's or something to exchange the kids for visitation purposes so as not to cause drama at either household. 

if they were still together (as he claims), why would they have to meet in a parking lot somewhere to exchange their daughter?  that doesn't make sense. 

big. red. flag.

a vigil was held last night in the community.  a family member made some interesting comments when asked why did they wait 10 days to report her missing. 

this is not going to end well.  i hope her mother gets custody of the baby when he goes to prison.

seriously, i should have gone into law enforcement.  i would love to be a detective.
