Mason see few posts above re: Weeper's statements re: phone call from the SBD topix #5386
My profound and sincere apologizes for my mistake, you are correct the wife/girlfriend of the SBD made the phone call to the police.
A witness states that the SBD stayed on his bus a long time before he went into the house, if this is true, he went in told his wife, and went back out. Suspect if he was trying earlier, as his information to the press is suspect, because he has given so many version of what he did after he came from the accident scene. Also it appears from her statements he already knew the occupant of the car was gone, at least he told his wife he did not know where the girl is? So perhaps he saw something. It is odd that he said to his wife that he did not know where she was. He is the only one who could have said this, unless of course his wife walked down unseen to the accident site.
Something is wrotten in Denmark as the expression goes?
Again my apologizes Mason, there is enough misinformation in Maura's disappearance without a seasoned reader of the information heaping error to the pile. sorry.
Absolutely no need to apologize, Peri.
As you pointed out, "it appears from her statements he already knew the occupant of the car was gone, at least he told his wife he did not know where the girl is."
If the SBD knew the female driver left the scene of the accident and did not return, how could he not know that she was picked up by a privately owned vehicle? Are we to suppose that he watched her walk up the 112 toward his house but didn't see her get into a vehicle basically right in front of his face, given where he parked the bus?
We know he told his wife that he did not know where the girl was. Isn't it reasonable to infer that he did not know where she was because she left the scene in a privately owned vehicle?
Hence, the extreme importance of obtaining a copy of the Hanover dispatch log and, if possible, a copy of both 911 calls.
I have no doubt that Anne heard someone say over the radio that the female driver of the vehicle in the ditch left the scene in a privately owned vehicle. She recalls that the "vehicle in the ditch" was a reference to a somewhat earlier call reporting that vehicle in the ditch in or near, or in the direction of Swiftwater or on Swiftwater Road. But, neither Sgt Smith nor the hospital employee saw an abandoned vehicle in the ditch next to the road as they drove down Swiftwater Road and Goose Lane toward Rte 112. This vehicle in the ditch from which the female driver left in a privately owned vehicle can't be a phantom vehicle. It had to be somewhere, but there is only one reference to a vehicle in a ditch next to the road in the Swiftwater area and that's the Saturn.
Here's my theory: The SBD or his wife called 911 the first time and was routed through to Hanover. The SBD or his wife reported the accident and added that the female driver left the scene in a privately owned vehicle. Hanover dispatch immediately contacted Ronda Marsh at Haverfield 911 and asked her to call the SBD residence to confirm the call. Marsh called and the SBD's wife answered the phone. Marsh asked her if she knew where the female driver went (i.e., in the privately owned vehicle) and the SBD's wife responded that they had no idea.
Sure, I could be wrong, but what if I'm right? Given the SBD's conflicting statements and this new revelation that he told his wife he had no idea where the female driver was, don't we have a damn good reason to suspect he saw Maura, or someone who looked like her get into a car and leave the scene? The scent trail indicates that's what happened.
The only way to know is to get the Hanover log and the 911 recorded calls.
I believe this could be the big break we've all been waiting for, including the NHSP. I could be wrong, but I suspect they may not have looked at the Hanover log.
