Christina Morris went missing two months ago in Texas and the last person she was seen with was Enrique Arochi, an acquaintance, at 4 a.m. in a parking garage. Arochi says, “So we walked and we split and after I saw my car, I went to my car. I don’t know where she went, or if she went to her car. I just went to my car and left.” Arochi doesn’t remember parting words, or if Morris got to her car. This is certainly a red flag. Furthermore, he is very intensely focused and concentrating in this video so much so that you can’t miss it. Why does he feel he has to do that? Why isn’t he himself? He is absolutely deadpanning his emotions too, which is a flag. He shows no stress or any emotions, except a slight positive glow. I am troubled that he shows no concern whatsoever, or lack of regret that he didn’t walk her to her car or look after her. This video is enough to cause me to want to see more of Arochi. If anyone sees him talk again, please provide me with a link.

Mario Casciaro Innocent?

ABC featured the story of Brian Carrick, a grocery store clerk who went missing in the small town of Johnsburg, Illinois. The story takes a bunch of twists and turns, and eventually 12 years after Brian’s disappearance, the grocery store owner’s son, Mario Casciaro, gets charged with the murder and locked up for 26 years.

I will go through the list of characters to share with you who I believe and who I don’t.

I don’t believe what Shane Lamb told the truth to prosecutors the first time about Mario’s involvement. I believe Shane truly has remorse for telling that story.

With regards to Mario Casciaro, I don’t believe him when he says he was just selling his friends some of “his stash” and that it wasn’t a criminal enterprise. I do believe Mario was probably a small operation, but it seems clear from the testimony that he and Brian were selling pot, and that it was criminal. There is no evidence that Mario was involved in the murder, but the stakes in this case for Mario are no longer high.

What does it mean when the stakes are no longer high? With Mario, he is paying the ultimate price for whatever happened. If he was involved, let’s say, there is nothing to lose now by lying. Instead, he would have everything to gain. With that, there is no pressure on him if he does lie, which would cause the clues to leak. With that, I am extremely careful to say that I cannot judge a man behind bars for lying without testimony or video of him talking about it before he was locked up. This is critical because I have seen very guilty people speak from behind bars and sound innocent, because the pressure that caused clues to leak was gone!

However, there does not seem to be any evidence leading to Mario in this murder, and the evidence we do have, as Kathleen Zellner has pointed out, leads to Rob Render. Kathleen Zellner is an amazing attorney and I have full faith in her to get to the truth.

As for Rob Render, his interview was definitely odd and I did not believe him. He seemed to say anything in hopes of getting the police to leave him alone. He was extremely nervous, too, and I wonder if that came and went during the interview process, or was constant. That would reveal more information.

What I don’t understand from the show, however, is about the blood evidence. How could there be a lot of blood from a violent attack and no one see it that night when they closed up the store? Or early the next morning? Jerry Casciaro, Mario’s father, saw some reddish water and says he thought it was Hawaiian punch. Did the Casciaro’s call the police immediately? If not, why? I’m curious about this. We never heard.

I honestly need more information on this case to fully understand what happened, but I don’t believe Shane told the truth when Mario was convicted. And I’d like to see more of Mario, if there is any depositions or whatnot of him, prior to or during trial, to get to the truth in this matter. I am curious if the Casciaro’s knew that something went down, and wanted it to go away because it might be bad for business.

Expression of the Day

Reading the news this morning, I came across the story of  little Etan Kalil Patz who disappeared from lower Manhattan in 1979.

Apparently this man, Pedro Hernandez, was interviewed by police in 2012 and confessed to killing Etan.

The courts will determine this week  if Pedro Hernandez‘s statements are admissible in this case.

Statistically speaking, 25% of confessions made by people are false, so just because someone confesses, it does not  automatically mean they are one responsible for committing the crime.

When I saw this news story and I looked at this suspect shown in the article, his facial expression stopped me dead in my tracks.  Hernandez’s expression here is extremely threatening. If I saw him on the street, I would immediately look away and take actions to get as far away from him as I could. I would try to become invisible in the shortest amount of time.

What expression is Hernandez making here?  I will share my answer in my comments below (on the blog for those of you reading this elsewhere).

My Thoughts on Baby Wilson’s Parents

/19 Comments/in , /by

When I watch Taniasha Perkins plead for her baby, I see a lot of things that raise my eyebrows. While there is no doubt that Taniasha is feeling stress, the question is does she know more than she is saying?

I believe so.

While she acts like she is sobbing, there are very few tears streaming down her face considering her displayed intensity, which is highly notable to me.  She doesn’t have puffy eyes indicating that she’s been crying heavily either.  She also gasps for air, but without a flood of tears, this makes no sense. And she does it repeatedly.

She says, “My family loves my child.”  If you notice she doesn’t say “I love my boy…Delano”.  She doesn’t call him by name, which shows distancing.

I’m troubled how she whines that she and the baby’s father worked really hard to provide for their child. The baby was only one month old! And she’s complaining about what she sacrificed for the child?? She tells us she went and got a job for the baby two days ago. This seems to be a big problem, if you ask me, caring for this child. It’s something that needs to be looked at closely.

It’s interesting to me she wants the public to “tell the truth where her son is”.  How can the public do that?  Why would she think of “telling the truth” if her baby was abducted?  It makes absolutely no sense, but I suspect she knows someone needs to tell the truth here. That is the truth!

When I listened to baby Delano’s dad’s 911 call, his story is absolutely absurd to me.  He calls in the most calm voice ever which makes absolutely no sense given what he says happened. He has zero urgency in his voice, and first says that he has been robbed and pistol whipped, but not “hurt like that”.  Only second does he say someone took his daughter, and then corrects himself to say son.  Oops. In order of importance, I think we all know what comes first and it isn’t being robbed.

Second, if someone is going to abduct a child, I find it very odd that they would take any time to rob someone.  If they want a baby, they want to get away fast.  It’s very unlikely they will take the time to rob someone.  And according to Willie, he wants us to believe they changed motives….they “intended to rob him” but oops, took the kid instead!  None of it makes sense…

I find it flabbergasting that he tells us, “I’m laying in the middle of the street.”  He isn’t crying out in pain or anything, but he can’t get up out of the street? And remember he said that he isn’t “hurt like that”. 

Do you see the inconsistencies? They are numerous and abundant.

I love how he calls the abductors and violent offenders a “male” and the other a “lady”  — such dignity for someone who just abducted his child!!

Seriously?

Then he says, “I just woke up from being unconscious.”  Wow! But he’s not hurt “like that” — remember!

But he seems totally clear about everything considering he just got knocked out.

He told Fox 59 that the pair intended to rob him of his cell phone and wallet but took the baby instead, “That’s when he hit me knocked me down. I got the baby in my arms. That’s when I knew they were gonna do more because she didn’t do nothing because the man is constantly yelling at me telling me to empty my pockets, grabbing at my pants. All I could do is give him what I had. I didn’t wanna harm the baby.”

So now when did they pistol whip him and knock him unconscious?

It’s nonsense, through and through.

In one video on Fox 59, Taniasha is on camera but not speaking the press and her stress completely dissipates. She acts completely relaxed. It’s like she isn’t “on for the camera” anymore.  If you truly believed your baby was abducted, your stress would not dissipate that quickly.

I believe both of these parents aren’t telling us what they know is the truth.
