There’s no reason for him to have taken the little girl alone that late at night. I definitely would’ve said something. I would’ve been nosy and if I didn’t get answers I would’ve gone outside where everyone could see and hear for my safety and yelled at the top of my lungs “why are you taking a little girl that’s not yours out at this time! Why won’t you answer!!!” and I would’ve gone out to check on her and asked her what was going on. There was no reason for him to have taken her alone especially in the wee hours of the morning. No way I would’ve allowed that I don’t care if it was my child or not.

This prosecutor’s attention to detail is very impressive . Love it .

[@julieedwards653]

[@missnikki4471]

Her memory is awesome.

[@Winter-Lake]

She also has an excellent affirmation technique that is both a compassionate, supportive response to a witness testifying and reinforcing a statement &/or a fact to the hearers (the judge and audience). I don't know if it's something that is just natural for her to do or if it's an intentional & honed technique, but it's brilliant. She responds with gentle but emphatic "Of course! Absolutely! Yes yes! " and similar responses. It impresses on the judge and "invisible jury" to register that witnesses statement/testimony as true. Very clever technique or natural ability.

[@Godschild49]

​@@Winter-LakeI believe this is a bench trial. But, yes I agree

You're absolutely right but unfortunately relatives are more likely to violate a child than strangers. Access and manipulation is all it takes. We have to give our children a safe space to talk to us. A Countless number of children never tell because they are scared. Or don't feel like they'd be believed. We have to make our children feel safe with us.

[@Winter-Lake]

Absolutely! Especially so! Personally, I wouldn't leave her ALONE with a man whether they are unrelated or even related (ie; an uncle, cousin, grandfather), only the father. But sometimes not even the child's own father. Certainly NOT this man. He's not even a responsible, loving father to his own child/children prior to this horrific event. THAT is enough to tell me not to leave him alone with any child, including his own, and especially someone else's daughter.

Because the two would look out for each other, and it was the request of the little boy. He wanted her to go. I'm sure that is why in his testimony he says it's hard to talk about.

I think he tried to do something inappropriate which made her demand to go home - he probably told her he would take her home and that’s why she was standing by the car. Out of fear she would tell on him, he went in to get her clothes but also the gun. Instead of taking her home, he took her to that RV, killed her with the knife then went back home to get his son and stop at Walmart for the bleach, Went back to the rv to clean or drove to the body in the bush, shot her then pour the bleach. The son may not have saw the body cuz it was in the bush. - her body may have already been in the trunk or already dumped at the site before he took his son there. Smh.
