The more I think about it, I'm leaning heavily toward APD being extremely derelict. The first mention of the suicide note shows up in their latest statement and that, in my opinion, raises even more questions. We know the possible suspects had access to the phone. And, the mother claims APD even gave it to them after the body was found. Then ultimately the mother got the phone. What serious investigation would pass around potential evidence in this fashion? Their conduct just doesn't align with the serious nature of the events.
I wonder if APD is softening their posture to keep these kids talking? If you do not have enough to charge someone, what is the harm in stating there is currently no sign of foul play? You can always reverse course when you do have what you need. If you come out of the gate hard when you suspect there MAY be foul play, the kids lawyer up and get defensive. You would not reveal this to the victims family either if it was your strategy.
I hope something like this is the case if in fact this was more than a suicide.
In either case... Prayers for this family. The young lady was beautiful and had it all in front of her.
Gut wrenching.
It is and that makes some sense. I'm not watching that closely but the last press conference APD gave was pretty complete and answered a lot of questions. They didn't however give any details on whose purse the phone was in or why Brianna supposedly dropped someone else's purse with her phone in it in a wooded area next to a creek. Nor was there any comment concerning the reported screaming heard on the street. I guess having Busby on the case will close any gaps in information.
