      I think that was how he told her things were going to go in order to have an alibi for her disappearance. It put the police and prosecution in a bind because it cast doubt. I also wonder if she was pregnant and that's why she was sick. I suspect he thought he could claim she ran away and that would allow him to neatly clean up the problem and pretend to know nothing about it. She was probably thinking they would finally be together but it was all a ruse to kill her and make her disappear. Sad but this happens a lot.

      @@AnaLucia-wy2ii Yes but the body wasn't found for three years and it could have been in the first few weeks of pregnancy. She obviously wasn't showing, or showing signs like Heather Elvis was, so it would likely have been earlier of this theory is correct. There has to have been a trigger for these events and I suspect that this might have been it. Or maybe she told him she thought she was. Either way it is often the case in these situations. See the case about the teenage girl from the UK that was murdered by her older boyfriend like this. She told him she was pregnant and he recognized he was about to get in trouble so he killed her. It turned out she was making it up or wrong about the pregnancy. Her body was found almost immediately though. This case took three whole years to locate the remains and anything that was left would have been skeletal remains. It takes a while for a fetus to reach the stage where it would leave that kind of traces.

      Unless both of them go missing at the same time which looks like one probably murdered the other and fled. I can't remember which true crime story it was, but that one was one of the most memorable "plot twists". After a couple was reported missing, the police found a woman dead in a forest next to an abandoned camp site and her husband was nowhere to be found. The police assumed it was the husband because they couldn't find any sign of him and I think they had reported sighting of him in far away places or something. After years of this someone finally found his remains a few miles or something from the campsite deeper in the woods. I can't remember how but it was obvious he had been murdered and they just hadn't found the body for years and years. I think he was shot with the same gun in the back or he was tied up or something and the gun wasn't there so it became obvious some serial killer had been operating. I think they linked it to another murder that happened after the couple were killed.

      The DA couldn’t file charges because the cops really didn’t want to investigate a state trooper’s son. The perp could have been arrested for screwing an underage girl, but the blue line extended to him as well. It wasn’t until the FBI took over that the local cops couldn’t drag their feet and cover it up. The first blood sample that had the false positive outcome was tested by the Illinois State Police crime lab, the same Illinois State Police that the perp’s dad worked for.

    Hi Dr. Grande! I would love to know your thoughts about the Owasso high schoolers death. Well, not necessarily their death. But more so why you think the media has ran with this story? I live there and my husband works for the city. The autopsy is complete and it was an overdose on ‘F’. However, the media seems to be painting it as almost a hate crime of their fight in the bathroom that caused the death. OPD and the coroner have both said there was no trauma and the death is unrelated to the fight but for some reason, that’s not being reported very often. This is the first time I’ve been close to one of these huge media stories and I’m… perplexed by the media. Not sure if this is something you’d talk about or not! I’m just curious! Thanks 😊

      @@dawnpence3248 but you’re 100% speculating how you want the situation to be and that’s the problem. You can’t put a story to an overdose and make it a fact. They had a history of substance use and is the only one that would be able to tell us why they were using. The part that almost completely disproves your theory.. is her toxicology report and what they overdosed on. They had other drugs in their system, but nothing anywhere close to a lethal amount other than fent. (We know it takes a small amount of it to OD on) Which points to this being an accidental overdose. Most likely, they got ahold of something that was laced with it and didn’t know. It’s tragic either way, but if someone is to be blamed, it needs to be who they got it from.. which is currently being worked on.

      @evelynwaugh4053 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In an investigation, initially the investigative agency, and later when the case gets to the prosecution, strategic decisions are made. There would be no point in testing the blood to disprove defendant's claim, because it doesn't matter. Menstrual blood on a shirt wouldn't get under a liner, because there's not enough of it. It's irrelevant and doesn't present a reasonable explanation that would need to be disproved. If it was tested, it could seem to a jury that the prosecution thought there was a possibility/reasonable doubt that this occurred and work against them.

However, that is probably just me, as I remember an episode of the documentary series "Great Crimes and Trials of the Twentieth Century" that examined John Haigh, the acid bath murderer. The jury at John Haigh's trial returned a verdict of guilty after only deliberating for twelve minutes. I also remember reading about Albert Guay, who had his mistress place a bomb on an aircraft that his wife would be flying on, because getting a divorce at the time, in Quebec, required the passage of a private members' bill in the Quebec National Legislature. The jury at Albert Guay's trial deliberated for a mere four minutes, before returning a verdict of guilty.

    Many teenagers today have the mistaken belief that they are adults. They are led to believe this many times by school counselors, teachers and administrators who focus on the teens' "rights" rather than their obligations and many times are competing with parents for the teens' attention and loyalty. The young people become convinced that the center of their lives rests in their social group located in the school. When they are convinced that their parents are depriving them of something to which they are entitled they feel justified in taking drastic action to secure their perceived "rights".

    Dr Grande, have you covered Bowen Turner? He’s an entitled SC man who was accused of multiple sexual assaults. His family is well connected and his attorney is a state senator (aka lawyer legislator) who ultimately decides on whether the judge should keep their job. The whole story is sad. His first known victim took her life because she was bullied so badly by everyone from the press, her professors, fellow students and she decided to end her life. When he was out on probation he assaulted another girl and she pressed charges. He then assaulted another girl. He got a sweat heart of a deal and is already back out roaming the streets.

Her cheating lover told her they will run away together but instead he murdered her and dumped her and unborn baby along with her suitcase in a field. This guy never meant to go with her, he wanted to stay with his other lover and get rid of the other woman. This ruse made it look like the person left on their own accord and draws attention away from the murderous bf/lover.

    I think he intended to murder her and encouraged her in a running away fantasy. But i don't think she was ever intending to run away, so he killed her and staged it by breaking into her room. He used her ATM card.
    There's no reason why menstrual blood would have squirted under the trunk liner in quantities large enough to be detectable so long after.
    A girl her age having such a heavy period wiuld likely have diagnosed gynae issues but sex would not be pleasant or comfortable and nobody would willingly engage in very messy, unpleasant and unromantic sex in a car, knowing they'd have to get out likely both covered in it, unless that's their kink. I can't see how it would be romantic or enjoyable. I don't believe it for a moment.

    At least she got closure for the death of her baby girl. As someone in the comments mentioned, to never find out what happened to your child must be the ultimate punishment anyone can suffer. A lifetime of guilt and regret, never knowing, never understanding, always wondering.
