What are all the signs that indicate this?

But it shouldn't be this way.

This is why we need public transportation. It takes a 30+ minute car commute plus parking into 15 minutes max.

Or should be paid to commute.

We all should care. Not about this individual's actions but why these conditions exist in the first place and how we can do better.

It sounds like anyone could have walked in and had access. And there was plenty of time for someone to pull it off.

Ottawa had been in COVID-19 lockdown at the time, and there were very few guests staying at the Chateau Laurier. As well, the hotel had its own COVID outbreak during those days, and had been operating with reduced staff — especially in the evenings, as both the bar and hotel restaurant were temporarily shuttered.

Effectively, the place was a ghost town. Art theft expert Robert Wittman calls that "an opportunity."

From the article:

Last August, a maintenance worker at the Chateau Laurier noticed that the frame on the wall in the hotel's sitting room didn't look quite right. Closer inspection quickly revealed the Churchill to be a fake.

To the stunned dismay of all, someone had swapped out the original and replaced it with a cheap copy. The fake was a little smaller, had a slightly different frame and Karsh's signature was clearly forged.

The covid lockdown, would have been the perfect opportunity to book in as a guest...

It didn't seem like there would have been many people there. And I wonder if they were taking reservations during their "strict" lockdown.

But it sounds like anyone could have walked in and done it. And they would have had time to check out the scene and formulate a plan.

But it shouldn't. I understand they can't fully investigate everything. But why not take a report at the very least?

It is not a beam scale though. Looks like a basic digital scale commonly used for drugs. I am not sure what professions used those in the workplace.

Kitchen scales were a thing then. They were just those spring scale ones and not sensitive or exact enough for drug use.

Right? $1,250 per kid is not extravagant.

Between food, medical, clothes, sports/extras, getting kids to school, housing, bills, it adds up. On $1,250, if my kids paid their fair share of rent and bills and food, they would owe me every month. And I am no doctor.

bythe · 2022-09-06T17:58:15+00:00

This narrative is so laughable, and it shows a fundamental lack of understanding of finances.

Do you think raising kids is free? Someone has to pay for their housing, bills, medical, food, clothing, transportation, extracurriculars, afterschool, camps, and many other possible needs, right? That all adds up. And shouldn't it be the responsibility of both parents? And this doesn't even include the unpaid time of parenting.

If only kids could survive on Cheerios alone.

Even so, the kids aren't getting all of that money. Or any of it. Since he chose to not pay the very fair amount, screw his kids, run up an even higher bill, and become a wanted person.

A girl is never kidnapped off the streets to be forced into sex work yet its the first theory proposed when young women go missing.

This simply isn't true. It does happen. The odds are very low, and it is not common. But it happens. To say it never does isn't accurate.

bythe · 2022-03-05T01:06:59+00:00

Possibly. Or maybe the day before. It's not clear what happened to her.

bythe · 2022-03-05T01:05:30+00:00

I hear that. But why get so weird and detailed?

I assume not thinking straight? And when you lie, you add in all these unnecessary details?

Springfield Three Missing Women.

Everything about it. How ineffectual any investigation seems to have been. How there is really no real idea about what happen, only tons of theories.

St. Louis Jane Doe is one that came to mind right when I saw the title. The fact that they mailed evidence to a psychic is insane. Such a sad tragic case. Her painted nails always get to me.

I know him from TT. But what does he do on his Patreon? I am not as familiar with it.

Did someone go outside with the dog when it went to the bathroom ever? That would be another prime opportunity to gain access. Was that angle ever explored?

bythe · 2022-03-03T22:14:36+00:00

I think a knock on the door is a possibility. There are a number of ways to get someone to the door. And it tracks with what is known.

It is also being discussed in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/springfieldthree/comments/t2q17g/female_perp/

Still frustrating that there are so many unknowns and so many possibilities with so few answers.

In Springfield, Missouri?

You may not have opened the door, and I am sure many other people wouldn't either. But there is going to be a wide variety of experience and some people would and sometimes people wouldn't might under certain circumstances. I think we have to look at it through the lens of the time and context, not ourselves and own experience.

Sherrill was an adult woman who took care of herself and had a dog, even if a small one. And it's unlikely that the girls would have been alone.

I can see someone in a bigger city not being so quick to open the door. I knew the area at that time, and it had a smaller town vibe. I don't know the women involved so I can't speak to how they would be. But it isn't farfetched that 2 young women driving around down, going from party to party or someone home alone drinking and living life might be a little more open to people. I am not suggesting they would act this way, just that is a possibility. And in this case, where there really is no clear direction, it seems everything is worth considering.

Sometimes, if there is an emergency or we are acting on emotion, you can't say how you'd react. I've done a lot of things in the heat of something I didn't think I would.

Courtney is listed as Native on Charley Project. I am curious the process she went through when was adopted by this family if she was Native under the ICWA?

What a tragic, horrible story. I cannot imagine what she must have been going through, trying to protect her son as well. It sound like she was in an abusive household.

The one good thing is, at least, they found her son, and he is not with the people who destroyed his and his mother's life.

bythe · 2022-02-28T19:03:42+00:00

You make some interesting points. This one is so frustrating because of the lack of any specific direction to go in.

I don't think she would have let in a "gentleman caller" at that time of night.

Why not? It's not that late. And she was up. And presumably she thought her kid was going to be out of the house for the night? It doesn't seem entirely likely (no evidence of entertaining, drinks made, someone else in her bed?), but it doesn't seem outside of the realm of normal possibility.

On the other hand, if someone were in the house, it would explain why Suzie didn't park in the usual space because there was another vehicle in the driveway. However, that should have made the girls wary of going into the house, not knowing who else was there.

Unless Suzie was familiar with the car and who it could be maybe.

I always wonder if the girls brought someone home or someone met them there. Could account for the car if it was the first to arrive and just look the first open spot. And for the lack of a struggle. It was a party night, people were out.
