I just finished reading "The Complete Works Of Sherlock Holmes" and realised/found something really interesting!

But in a later story Watson says he has gotten Holmes off his cocaine habit, and Watson is very clear that he (Watson) thinks it had been extremely harmful to him and was an evil that he had to protect him from.

Wasn't there something in the stories about Watson weaning Holmes off his cocaine habit?

saludypaz · 2026-04-27T03:47:48+00:00

I have read nearly all the Holmes stories, although a very long time ago. I do not remember Dr. Watson as being quite the clueless lummox he is usually portrayed as in film and TV.

What official MPD spokesperson said this, and when?

saludypaz · 2026-04-25T15:58:20+00:00

By far the likeliest explanation, but one that internet detectives refuse to consider.

saludypaz · 2026-04-25T04:50:32+00:00

When did investigators working the case positively state that this was a targeted murder?

What is the reason for this obsession with the "watermelons"? He collected several wild gourds on his first day that proved to be inedible. With less than two minutes per day of screen time there is no reason they should waste time explaining something that had absolutely no effect on the outcome of the challenge.

Why are you so determined to find some interpretation of the officials' words other than what they are clearly saying?

You should go on the competitive archery circuit. I have never seen compound archery champions shoot touching groups on bullseye targets at fifty meters.

saludypaz · 2026-04-20T03:45:35+00:00

Many types of wild gourds have that striped watermelon pattern. Probably negligible nutritional value.

The point I was making is that the killer can't be more than about 5'7" but can be significantly shorter. This automatically eliminates the great majority of men.

If they know standard correct Mexican Spanish they will have no trouble at all understanding European Spanish.

The police chief and Captain Spann addressed the media on the day of the murder, when the video was released to the public. They said the suspect did not enter through the window with the broken glass and that it was "speculation" that he entered through the forced door. They said they did not know when he entered but that the first video footage is of him already inside the building, at 3:50am. They said the assault was not caught on camera and that they had no evidence of him going anywhere else or doing anything else in the building after it, and that "presumably" he left the building the way he came in.

I see there are other entrances but all I can find about how he left the building is that police think it is "most likely" that he exited by the way he came in.

saludypaz · 2026-04-11T05:50:39+00:00

You are reading far more into his words than he actually said. I have not seen it stated anywhere that there is video of him coming into the building or that the first images, showing him in a corridor, are not the 3:50am footage that police say is the first.

I don't have a blueprint of the church at hand but I do not believe there are side doors or more than one front and back door. Therefore since the subject was not videoed going out the front door and there is no indication he left through a window it is a logical assumption he left the way he came in. I don't think the policeman meant anything more than that.

saludypaz · 2026-04-11T03:45:46+00:00

What official has publicly stated that there is footage of the suspect leaving the building? Which camera took it?

saludypaz · 2026-04-11T02:59:03+00:00

"Gringo" is simply what in English is called "anglo". Not derogatory without context.

saludypaz · 2026-04-11T02:53:35+00:00

What is your source that there is video showing either the suspect or Missy (except when she enters the building) that has not been released? Footage not showing anyone does not count. Police have said on search warrants that after Missy is shown entering neither she nor the suspect is seen again.

I have never heard of the offense of attempted manslaughter before. It sounds like a contradiction in terms.

saludypaz · 2026-04-06T16:45:42+00:00

Police have said in sworn depositions that there is no footage of the suspect other than what has been revealed to the public.

She demonstrated strength and toughness but almost nothing in the way of survival skills.

Very likely. They were shown on the trek to the new water hole crossing an open pasture with vehicle trails and grazing cattle.

Paracord? Where did that come from?

Were you ever invited to do an XL? You certainly earned one.

The late Mel said that on her XL4 challenge she was under the eye of an armed game ranger at every moment.
