Amber Kirwan: Missing

Amber Kirwan went out with her friends in Novia Scotia to a pool hall and was last seen in the early morning hours on Sunday.  She parted from her friends saying she was going to a convenient store where her boyfriend was going to pick her up.

Amber’s boyfriend, Mason Campbell, said when he arrived at the convenience store, Amber was no where to be seen.  You can watch him talk in this video.

Mason says, “The second I got there, and she wasn’t, it was completely out of character right there and then.”

So, I wonder, did he start searching for her?  Did he call her friends and family?

Here is a second video.

I have to say its odd that Mason talks about his “common relationship” with Amber. He says, “She gets upset if there is something else I have to do…” and focuses on the negative of their relationship right away when she is missing. Most people when a loved one disappears grasp on fondly to the specialness of their relationship.  Why isn’t Mason?

Did he say to Amber when she called that he had something else he had to do that night, and she got upset?  Did they have a fight? Did he show up way late or not at all?  I can’t help but wonder…

Mason continues, “I should have been there. I should have waited longer around there. I should have tried harder to skim up and down that road.”

I have to say this baffles me.  Why does he say he should have been there?  I thought he was there.  Or is he talking about the pool hall–that he should have been there instead of the convenient store?   He also says he should have waited longer.    Yet in the interview above, Mason tells us he knew it was flat out of character for Amber not to be there.  If he didn’t start calling around and raising alarms that night, that would be a huge red flag for me.  Did he go looking for her that night or not?

Mason says, “I wasn’t preparing myself for a situation like this, you know?”

This is a definite red flag.  Who prepares for a situation like this?  No one can prepare for something like this…but if something happens, such as a fight and things go wrong — one might say this.

Mason isn’t making a lot of sense at this point.

He then speculates about what happened to her.  Speculation is quite unusual, too, but his speculations are not out of reason.  They are just odd.

I see some strange behavior which flag me and one solid red flag, but these are not enough for me to reach any conclusions at this point.  I am curious to see more.

If anyone sees other interviews, please let me know.

McCanns Speak Out in Australia

I continue to support the McCanns are innocent and uninvolved in the disappearance of their daughter.

Lisa Irwin Missing: Hotspots

Many of you have likely seen the story of missing baby Lisa Irwin from Missouri. She is 10-months old.  The story being told to the press is that her father, Jeremy, discovered her missing from her bed at 4:00 a.m. this past Tuesday in the early morning after he came home from his work shift. He woke up his wife and they called police. At some point, they discovered an open window that was tampered with.

The couple claims that whoever abducted their daughter also stole three cell phones from the house from the kitchen counter.  I find this perplexing.  If the father goes to work, doesn’t he carry his cell phone with him?  Or does he leave it home?  I would be curious why he wouldn’t  have it with him at work.  Is there a logical reason for it?

In watching this video, the mother, Deborah, is displaying true sadness, which can support the truth or deception–so it has no other meaning than to tell us she is truly sad.  The father, however, shows no sadness, no oblique eyebrows–no emotions whatsoever.  He is stoic. It’s notable.

In the very beginning of the interview Jeremy says, “…obviously all very unusual and I started checking on the kids.  Checked on the boys first, and then we checked on her and that’s when we realized she was gone.”

If you notice Jeremy goes from “I” to “we”.  His word usage is suggesting that when he was with his wife that is when “they” discovered Lisa was gone, but I thought he discovered it first.  Which is it?

I am also flagged by Deborah when she says about the missing cell phones, “They were on the counter in the kitchen and there’s ah…whenever I was….we woke up…and I woke up and he came home and I was..he said she is not in her crib and I said what do you mean she’s not in her crib?  And I just knew, you know….something was really wrong and we run around the house and we were screaming for her and she nowhere and then I said call 911, call 911 and he said where are the phones? And they weren’t on the counter where I left them.  They were gone.”

Why is Deborah having trouble talking and keeping her story straight about waking up?  Why does she have all these false starts and self-censoring?

Both of them seem to be having trouble sticking to their story that he came home and found Lisa missing and he, Jeremy, woke Deborah up.  Why is that if they are telling us the truth?
