Good video. I really do hope his girlfriend gets some help. She has some very unhealthy feelings about the perp.
This was very good. I am not always a News Nation fan, I guess I would actually say I am not one due to some things I have seen them do, very sensational, incorrect and inrresponsible things but they do get news and Entin is pretty good and this was very good.
This case STILL does not have the attention it should have.
It is IMPRESSIVE how these mothers came together and investigated themselves AND put pressure on police. The remark the one made of what is worse, you either have a serial killer or five homicidal maniacs running around was a good point! So in other words if police can't admit to a serial killer well then I guess you ARE saying there must then be five homicidal maniacs operating at the same time!
Wow it is clear Portland is something else and Entin said as much, no other city like it basically that he has ever seen and yet we know there are tons of cities with huge drug and homeless problems and so it must be BEYOND.
The gf my goodness. I don't know what to say. She isn't unintelligent, clearly, and even seems to recognize she struggles and has problems and is very back and forth on it all. I'd say she's been through a lot. For different reasons I can understand the being overwhelmed to where you can't function, like in facing and getting rid of his stuff or taking care of things, that happens when life sends you too much to deal with. It is clearly I think she would like him to magically not be the perp, that she wishes or hopes he loves/Ed her and more yet on some level recognizes he likely did do this and does not deny it either.... I don't know what to say about her, certainly no expert, I'd say face it and get over it and let go of him and yes, get yourself some help. I suppose she saw SOME side of him that was not all bad or some such. In the worst relationships there always is some good. She needs to FACE the evil though that he let dominate over any good side she may have seen and even then it sounds like he was not normal or easy. Not putting it right I just don't have the words.
This WAS good and Entin travels and does all this and it has to be a heck of a job and then he was also going to ID for the Kohberger hearing another week or day, etc. Nate said the other night when I think someone asked him what case or trial was next that he didn't know and went on to say he couldn't do what some reporters do who do this every day, every week and travel for a number of cases all year long, etc. The month here of Daybell was enough for him and now they are off to Crime Con. He missed his family and only or mostly because he started Daybell from infancy and was involved and committed he felt he had to see it all out of course. I am very much paraphrasing to get to my point of Entin is one that DOES do that with many cases and traveling constantly, etc. I will also say many mainstream news places do not send their people any longer or pay to do such on cases unless a major one or trial, they just cull sh*t from online sources and other news or worse don't cover much (all politics) but I guess News Nation does and good for them for that I suppose...
I almost didn't watch this as I just don't have the time to invest in more cases, can hardly keep up with the ones I do care about but for some reason felt I should. I have not been overly invested in this one and probably due to the fact of LE and it being fairly quiet and not pursued and not a lot of info and so on. Hearing now the moms though and seeing the gf, I have a bit of the emotional/people factor that kind of is what gets me into cases I guess or more into them...
It isn't a full hook yet for me to turn into a pet case but it may because these victims WERE ignored and it STILL is not big news but Entin brought the victim side and the human factor... I was outraged from the start as to the lack of investigation but knew little. It reminds me of LISK which became big but also ebbed and wanted over the years as LE ignored and kept trying to make it or hope it went away and those families who just couldn't get any help or attention either yet the case became known about but even then people would try to help or someone would report and it would just be left go quiet again from a corrupt administration always shutting it down and the families could try to yell to no avail. Internet has come in big time and these Portland moms need to avail and some attorney even if it is like some John Ray needs to help them out. Of course, someone IS charged now, far faster by far than in LISK so they are on a better road more quickly than the decades that one took.
I recommend a watch. Entin did great and brings attention to it and with the human factor. Much in it of interest in a short 20 minutes. What stands out to me out of a lot standing out is that mother's remark of either a serial killer or five homicidal maniacs running around in one area. And THAT should be remembered for any case where LE resists connecting cases or at least admitting there are several homicidal maniacs they haven't caught!!
You live in OR and if this case was near me, I'd have been more invested from the start is another thing. When one can know or relate to the area and how it has changed even and it is near one, oh yeah I'd be very invested by now.
And I'm a bit more invested after watching this. Not that I didn't care. This one outraged me from the start. It just hasn't taken over as a main case for me as it was in infancy and not a lot out there.
Great job by Entin and yes, the gf really needs to process and if she CAN take some time to do that I would if her. However, sometimes one can't, life just keeps coming. if she hasn't cut the cord with him and it sounds like she hasn't as he wants her to sell his stuff and put money on his books, she NEEDS to. A total BREAK is what she needs to do, cut him clean loose to begin with and you know what, then you just take all that stuff or call Goodwill or someone to come get all of it! Or have it all put in a dumpster. If he has photos or anything else personal then ask LE or some news agency if they want the whole load and they can shift through it and then dump it. WhatEVER. I mean who knows if LE processed all they should and returned it or did not take it but it is not on her to keep it. Clear him from your LIFE and his stuff.
Long post I know. Days off which go by in an instant. I was in bed and wiped by 8 or so and up at 2 or so, sigh. I never go to bed at 8. NEVER. Now my second day off will be screwed up from the start with awake time and then work tomorrow a.m. (usually Sats. I have until 11 a.m. but not tomorrow, busy season, too many off this weekend for graduation etc.)
So first thing and thread I was on was this one up in the wrong hours and watched the Entin video here. And have time to process and think as a rare thing, it is dark and silent in this complex, RARE and I have moments to actually spend on watching and thinking about just this case which isn't one again that I have done that with. In fact I just quit typing for a moment and listened to the stillness. Cats are not up or in my face. Place is quiet. It is dark other than my computer screen and I am just going to take some silence for a few minutes before the b.s. in life hits me in the face. I don't get to do that ever.
Yes blessed dark silence. I may even shut the screen off and just sit for a bit.
I may end up invested in this one but so far I don't know the victims' names well or the mothers and such and would hope people would pick it up and this will become more known and I'd like to help it do that by in the ever so small ways we can which is by talking of it anywhere and everywhere. I don't go many places online but a few and it just needs to be picked up. There is an arrest though so its ahead of many that way. Thank GOD.
So since I started off on point and now am wandering and just yakking I shall stop.
