Here is the story: The naked truth?
Do you believe Williamson?
This is a case posted on my Topic Suggestion Page. Please note that I am taking some time off, away from cases for the next week or so, to regroup, so I won’t be sharing my thoughts or opinions. But in the meantime, I will post cases and you guys can feel free to banter your thoughts amongst each other!
Mayumi does a horrible acting job here, if you want my opinion. After seeing her here, I don’t trust her. Remember emotional memories that I speak about? Well, Mayumi doesn’t have any, and if you thought your child was missing and could possible be killed because of a mistake you or your husband made, let me tell you (well, you all know!), you’d be as emotional as heck. Mayumi? Not at all. Notice she has no recollection memories of what the “terror” was like? She says lots of people helped her, but she can’t say who outside of the police? Her lack of emotional memory here is a gigantic red flag. Add that to what the little boy said, and to the fact he was throwing up, and I really think this was a hoax. The question is when did they decide to go with this hoax? After they accidentally released the balloon? Or before?
Two people have pointed out that I spoke prematurely for myself (Ruth on Facebook and Sarah). I originally wrote in my first post, “So at this point, I tend towards the fact that this was an accident, and not a hoax, but I sure would like to see the boy speak more and ask questions to probe why he said it. That needs to be looked at further so we can understand it, and then and only then can a final determination be made.” At least I was never conclusive.
What a mess this has been!
Some people have been writing me with theories. Is it possible that Richard accidentally released the balloon without a plan, and really did think for an instant that his son might have been in it, but then realized that he wasn’t. I saw Richard make expressions that showed he was distraught over Falcon, but Mayumi doesn’t. Would that explain that aspect? Then they decided to take their “media stunt” and run with it, so they hide Falcon in the attic? I could really believe this is the truth. Everything for me would then make sense.
Update 10-20-2009:
I must say after this whole debacle, my brain is mush and I need to walk away for a while to get clarity. I don’t trust myself at this point to read this case at all right now.

From WCVBTV:
Police said William Hurley, 24, called his girlfriend for a ride home after Thursday night’s game, but never met up with her and didn’t show up for work on Friday morning… Read more here.
A reader put this video up on my topic suggestion page and asked for my opinion on the girlfriend, Claire Mahoney.
In this video, Mahoney doesn’t really say anything worry of deception, so I can’t speak for things she is not saying, but I can say that she is genuinely upset and distraught here.
Jon Gosselin has been ordered by a judge to return the $180,000 dollars Kate said he took. Read more here. Now that is justice–if Jon actually returns it. That’s the key. He may have already spent it!!
Jon Gosselin is a time bomb waiting to implode, if you ask me.
