) The search party started around 4 pm on Nov. 4 after getting flyers printed, that's with about 1 hour of daylight left on Nov. 4. Let's not pretend civilians had a day and a half to search.
24 hours after she's reported missing? Why wait for flyers? Did no one get out and drive the roads, looking for her car? They knew on the afternoon of the 3rd where she had been; they had her phone records and info from AT. If it had been my family member missing, I think -- admittedly can't say for sure what I'd do in the midst of panic and worry -- that I'd personally go to each of the people on the list of appointments and talk to them. It's possible LE told them not to do this, but who knows?
) On the morning of Nov. 5 LE still thought the order was SS, Avery, Zip.
Did they? This is the day that Wiegert tells Remiker "change of plans. The boss has something he wants us to do". That "something" apparently was to get some search party people over to ASY. Why didn't LE just go there themselves, ask Earl if they could look around?
I'm not saying Pam knew TH was missing on the 3rd. She said she heard about the Salvage yard on the news. She was not the only person watching the news, surely. No one has yet said why only Pam thought to search there. Actually, she was not the only one; David Beach had been there that same morning. But he was independent of the search party. Pam is the one who went to Ryan, told him where she wanted to search, borrowed a camera, etc. And, coincidentally, found the car in 30 minutes.
6) Pam joins the search the very next morning and finds the car by 10:30 am (too fast? too slow? Which is it?). How many hours of daylight between the start of the search and Pam driving to join the search? You do the math. If you can find more than 3 hours of daylight, please enlighten us all (pun intended).
What does this even mean?
7) To do an in-depth full search of a large property the police are going to get a search warrant. To get a search warrant they need reasonable grounds.
Not if they get permission. They hadn't even driven through there. When a policeman stops you for a traffic ticket and asks if he can search your vehicle, anything illegal or incriminating he finds there is admissible. He doesn't have a warrant, only your permission.
8) Yes, a group of friends and family, including females, were right there trying to figure out TH's password. So it's suspicious when friends and family are trying to do something and suspicious when they are not doing something? (and you get to decide THIS????)
Give me a break, Bernie. Also, your snarkiness throughout your post doesn't advance your argument. Ryan Hillegas said they made up a user name and "guessed" her password, but then couldn't remember what it was? I don't know how they got into her phone records, but I don't believe that. And why did they go so immediately to her phone records? I've never quite understood what they thought they were going to learn from that. They knew that she worked for AT on Mondays, they knew her area was Manitowoc County, they knew who she (supposedly) saw that day. So what were the phone records going to tell them?
I have no reason to believe Ryan Hillegas is guilty of anything but his behavior in this case is certainly questionable. First on the scene, organizes a search party, hacks her phone records, can't remember what time of day he last saw Teresa (a week ago), gets antsy and nervous when asked about being on the ASY property (on video), moves into Teresa's rooms in the house and stays there for a month, knows more about her than her roommate, the man with whom she lived (and, if you believe witnesses, was intimate). And yet no one doubts him. Just SA, the master criminal.
9) TH is a missing person at this point. The first thought is where would she go voluntarily. Avery supporters are quick to accuse the family of reacting too slowly. You don't know how you would react.
She was a missing person on the morning of the 5th, too, when Pam found the car. And yet neither Pagel nor Wiegert -- NEITHER! -- ask her if there's any sign of Teresa when she says she's found the car. No one rushes out there to open the %^&*#@ thing to see if there's anything inside that might indicate where she is. No. They are much more concerned with preserving evidence. They put up a tarp, take down a tarp, disconnect the drive shaft, haul it 200 miles in a trailer....and then the next day the photographer, first on the scene, according to him, finds it UNLOCKED?
And yet you don't question any of this?
10) "despite what you believe" You have me confused with someone else. SA was overheard telling someone (Fabian?) non-LE that TH had not arrived.
Fabian couldn't even remember what day he was there, or went rabbit hunting. This is the worst kind of hearsay: SA was "overheard" telling someone else. According to Colborn himself -- that stalwart of the Manitowoc Sheriff's Office and, indeed, candidate for the very office of Sheriff -- SA told him on the evening of Nov 3 that TH had been there, photographed the car, and left.
11) Bonus advice... I'll give. you. a. break...stop working backwards from what you believe and start with the hard evidence. Thanks for the morning laugh.. "Pam knew she was going to join the search." Great opening line for a bad romantic thriller. Did she talk to herself and find out
When you begin to ridicule your opponent, you indicate that you are out of ammunition. I used to respect your opinion and your posts, but I think we're done here.
