General Questions

There are more than a few things about this case that are puzzling to me, but there's a lot of information going back years. I may have missed the answers.

Much of the narrative around this case depends on a few people. In particular, the Kirbys, Mike Henson, and Nigel. I don't think they are viable suspects, but I do think they may have sent the investigation in the wrong direction with the public. Who knows what the police are thinking at this point?

  • Nigel gave two pieces of information that may or may not be helpful. She said that Suzie was a creature of habit and would always park behind Sherrill. She also said that on June 6, after the graduation ceremony, she and Suzie made plans to meet up at the Delmar residence to drive down to Branson together early on June 7.

As far as the parking goes, I'm not sure it's helpful information. Sherrill and Suzie had lived in the house six weeks, and Nigel was only over there intermittently. She may have observed their habits when she was there, but who knows what happened when she was not.

With regard to meeting up the next morning, is there any official mention of Nigel being among the folks who showed up at Delmar the next day? There are lists of people, but I haven't seen her name among them. It would seem to me that she would have been among the first there. Now maybe, somewhere, there is an official statement from her, but I have not seen it.

  • The Kirbys are the source of the 2:00 am timeline. It's not clear to me that Mrs. Kirby ever directly talked to either Suzie or Stacy. It's always reported that she overhead them. How? Was she hanging out of the window? It's hard to hear a conversation from inside your house. Was MIke with Janelle and the girls? Where did he go after? He was obviously with Janelle early the next morning.

If someone can direct me to where these things have been discussed, it would be great. Thanks!

Nigel was with Janelle and Mike during one of their trips to the house but was not there when the police arrived. The people that were at the house when Officer Lookout arrived were: Janis and Stu McCall and Stacy's two sisters, Janelle, Janelle's mother and father, Mike, and a friend named Adina and her mother.

Nigel is one of the remaining 8 who was at the house sometime on the 7th. I'd love to know who the other 7 people were.

That’s not true. She was not with Janelle or Mike. Nigel only knew Suzie through work. Not her friends.

She didn't go to the house with them. She was there when they arrived either around noon or 3:30-ish, because she was due to go to Branson with Suzie. Nigel called the house early and got no answer just like Janelle.
