I think the older brother killed JB. He previously struck her with a golf club in the back of the head. The parents went to bed. The kids were up trying to play with their Christmas presents and they fought over the bowl of pineapple. I think the mom wrote the note. Burke was even up when the parents called 911 to report his sister missing. John angrily tells him to shut up or something |
The soil is made of caliche, which is like concrete. So it's hard (impossible) to dig with a shovel. Unless they drove her miles and days away. |
At this point that is quite likely. I feel terrible for them but I think it is possible that her body is never found |
People on other forums have gone back to the Sheriffs initial statements and he declared they had been at her home since evening 1/31. This was before the “missing by a friend from church” statements were made. |

Why would you do that? It’s easy to dump a body in the desert and the animals will take care of it before anyone finds it. |
| Is there video footage of her arriving home from dinner? |
OMG, give it up. Her pacemaker synched with her iphone at her home in the middle of the night. This is clearly a burglary or kidnapping gone bad. The sole consolation for Savannah and her sister is that their mother almost certainly died on that first day, so hopefully did not suffer. |
pacemaker does not possess the ability to recognize whether a person is alive or dead. It will continue to function and send electrical pacing impulses as programmed until its battery is depleted or it is manually deactivate. The pacemaker being in range of her phone does not mean she was necessarily alive at 1am. The important key to this case is to examine Alibis. Liars mess up with small details. The sheriff has a hard on for the family. In all other cases (missing children, elderly), the family is grilled hard first |
| Pacemaker checks can see if it is working or not by collecting and sending the rhythm. Many will have pretty complex rhythm detection and different pacing schemes based on the rhythm. |
| The mother is dead. Time for the family to start grieving and move on. |
What a helpful post. |
No, the pacemaker collects more data than that. Between the phone and pacemaker data you can tell that she was 1. alive that night AND 2. In range of the phone that night AND 3. Said phone was at home that night. So you can tell she was ALIVE AND AT HOME that night. |
That's not fully correct. If the pacemaker and phone are in range of each other, you can detect a lot of information about someone's health status and whereabouts. It's when the two are separated that you lose information. That's why pacemakers can be useful in determining exact time of death and location of death if the device is kept with the pacemaker. |
The phone didn’t have to be at home. It could have been anywhere so long as it was near her. What’s known is the phone was left behind at home at some point after the last ping. |
Actually we DO know the phone was home that night and she got home safely. Phones have location detecting abilities so we know the phone got home safely that evening and we know she did too because her pacemaker was close to the phone and synced to it that night. See how that works? |
