He hung up on LE because they were INSISTING he drive straight to the bloody crime scene. Had Michelle`s body even been removed from her home. I certainly can NOT hold that against him.


According to the SW, the investigator was attempting to "enlist Jason Young's assistance" The SW continues to state that Jason could have done a walk through of the home, that he could have provided names of people who may have had a conflict with either him or his wife, he could have provided names of recent visitors or workers to the home. "However, he refused to come to the scene or continue speaking with the investigators"

"The conversation concludes with Jason Young hanging up on the investigator who is speaking with him."


No where does it state that investigators insisted he come to the scene. They were asking him to help with the investigation by providing information. He refused.

This is what has always stuck out as a red flag to me. Your wife, the woman you supposedly love with all your heart, is found murdered in your home and you don't want to help find her killer in any way shape or form. If you are innocent of the crime, then what on earth do you have to hide? Go ahead and say that he chose to keep quiet because he knew he was going to be the first suspect, but like I said.....if he had nothing to do with it, then why did he assume that his helping LE was a bad idea?


It's almost like he just wanted to wash his hands of it right then and there and continue on with his life. :shrug:

What bothers me more about the LE in Wake county is the leaks. There was a sealed warrant and days before it came out it was reported on line what would be in the warrant. Now just weeks before that the Sheriff and 2 officers went to a memorial for Michelle and I think they did a lot of talking that day. Now it was stated they told them there would be an arrest. So I guess if they were telling the truth about the warrant then there probably is going to be an arrest. I think if it is Jason he will never be convicted and the real killer got a free ride. You know every one has picked apart where Jason was on the night Michelle was killed I have never seen one time were any one can offer an alibi for MF. Wouldn't you think all these people that say she can't be guilty would offer up a reason why?


June, the LE officers who went to the LBLO were not the only people who had seen those warrants. Mrs. Young and Heather would have been given copies of them, and could have shown them to any number of people. It is said that one of their friends posts about this case; if true, I think it more likely that any leaks came from him than from LE.

As for Meredith, other than some very dated paragraphs and the 911 call, I haven't seen people offer any reason she could be guilty. I have asked, several times, but those things have always been the only answers I got.

Are you saying you think the detectivs lied when they said in the warrant that Jason hung up on them? I do not think they would be allowed to do that. Do you have a reason for the detectives to lie? I don`t think they lied about Jason hanging up on them,I believe the conversation was going NO where. Jason Young was NOT going to the bloody crime scene and I think that set up the future of his cooperation. Again, anyone know if Michelle`s body had been removed from the home at the time of that conversation?

"The investigator was attempting to enlist Jason Young's assistance in the early stages of the investigation. He could have done a walk through of the residence to look for items that were missing or out of place."


It may not use the exact words but the meaning is there. Was Jason supposed to be psychic and know the police wanted him to walk through the home or was it discussed?

There were early posts about how friends called Jason and told him police were focusing on him as a suspect and told him to get a lawyer before he got back to town. It's possible that the tone was hostile from LE and that's why Jason hung up on them.


His stepfather likely told him to hang up. IIRC the stepfather had some harsh words to say about LE. Anyone remember that?

McIntyre said he told Jason Young to get a lawyer. He said he was afraid that police would pin the death on his stepson, regardless of evidence.

"I do not want my son to be talking to any type of investigators," he said. "They're not going to be trustworthy when they talk to him."

http://www.newsobserver.com/102/story/507222.html


I have always held Jason's silence against him but I was thinking, lol, and you know how when you put off something and put off something and then it gets harder to do it? Like visiting or calling someone, etc? Is there a possibility that Jason kept his mouth shut in the beginning because his dad told him to and then as time went on it just got harder and harder to talk with LE? :shrug:

December 11, 2007, more than a year after the murder.



"On December 11, 2007, Agent Murray emailed a photograph of the unidentified footwear impression to Michael Smith of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Quantico, Virginia."


So it took the FBI less than a month to identify the prints. If the local LE had given them this info soon after the murder they could've had it back to them before the end of 2006 and a sw executed by then. Not almost 16 months later. Now who was arguing about the detective work not being up to par?

I think we should remember the detectives were not investigating just this one case. From what I have read in the Raleigh papers they had many other cases to spend time on also. I don't mean to offer an excusefor anything but I think the detectives did have other cases to work on.

I'm sure but when time is of the essence then getting shoe prints to the FBI should have been a high priority. We're talking almost a year later.

If and when this case goes to trial LE are going to walk out looking like idiots due to all the delays. IMO
A good defense lawyer will rip them to pieces.They will begin with the 13 days in the home taking evidence and move on to why all the delays in getting evidence out for identification and having to go back to the home and the storage sheds for even more evidence. This investigation has been a joke from the git go. I understand why no arrest in almost 2 years. I hope someone has some really good explanations.

Since the police have to process the scene it could have been hours or days. I remember one case where the body wasn't removed until late the following day. And Heath Ledger was found dead in the afternoon (around 3) but his body wasn't removed until almost 9 pm the night he died.

Speaking of shoes, Men wear out shoes much faster then women.IMO. Men tend to wear the same comfortable shoes when working and many other events. Women change more often depending on what they wear.

For some men, I am sure this is true. But I doubt it, with Jason the fashion plate.

We know from videos and testimony that Jason had on at least 3 different outfits within a 24 hour period, not much wear and tear there.

SwabbyWould you expect him to attend a meeting in the same clothes he wore on his trip? So he put on a heavier shirt to go outside to the office. i would gander to guess,the temperature had dropped significantly from when he left Raleigh. I am not all that familiar with the mountainous area but what little I do know there is quite a dip in temps the closer you get to the mountain area. If I am wrong I am sure you will correct me.

If it had been a thorough job police wouldn't have missed a tooth fragment and they wouldn't have had to go back a year later to take measurements and get planks.

And I can understand why the family would make a "big deal" over the tooth fragment and get shoes out to compare to prints, etc., (if that happened). I'd likely do the same thing if it were my brother under suspicion.

Hi Aggie, this is whats so frustrating, we know so little to be true. I was surprised when the S/W said he hung up on them. Because we had been told about his mom and J not being able to speak to them. Like from the start.

I was clarifying that they can lie to suspects/witnesses but they can't lie to a judge even in a search warrant application.Lets not forget Cassidy`s therapist`s notes.

If you are talking about the storage unit they did have a warrant to obtain dna samples from the furniture. It's talked about on page 16 of the Feb 14th warrant.

From the point of view, of someone that thinks that Jason is guilty, something occurred to me.

Lots has been said in recent months about the effect that shows like CSI have had on juries.

I was reviewing this board and thinking that the "effect" is a two-way street.

Only a small percentage of people ever see the inside of a Courtroom, but CSI type shows are beamed right into our living rooms.

In the olden days, all anyone had was the SODDI defense. That has now been expanded to include:

Framed
Sloppy Police Work
Rush To Judgment
Tried in The Press
False Confessions
Tunnel Vision
Legal Technicalities
Circumstantial evidence isn't as important as Direct Evidence


That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure there are others. But the fact remains, that these all too common defense strategies are now well known with the public at large, and I think that is a good thing.

I have seen all of them used here and more. But people across this good Nation are sick and tired of offenders getting away with Murder. I am sure that the good Citizens of N.C. chosen for jury duty will feel no differently.

K.I.S.S. method is the way to go. Plain and simple.

The documents that they took may eventually be thrown out if Jason goes to court. Michelle's death certificate had nothing to do with her murder.

I didn't say they lied on the warrant. You posted that maybe they weren't really looking for the shoes and shirt then comented about police being allowed to lie. I was clarifying that they can lie to suspects/witnesses but they can't lie to a judge even in a search warrant application.

In the execution of a SW, items other than those specified in the SW may be seized they constitute evidence of a crime:

http://www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/PDF/BySection/Chapter_15A/GS_15A-242.pdf

My guess is they took the therapist's notes in order to identify the therapist and the nature of her work with Cassidy. If that's meaningful, I think they'd subpoena the therapist rather than try to introduce the progress report.

As for the death certificate, that's a public record. It can be introduced regardless.

CSI type shows may help you form your opinion but not mine. I don't need a tv show to tell me police needing to go back, a year later, to a crime scene they had possession of for almost 2 weeks isn't stellar police work.

And it's people like Nancy grace, a former prosecutor, and Catherine Crier, a former judge, who are responsible for suspects being tried in the press.

Other people across the nation are tired of innocent people spending any time in prisons for crimes they didn't commit.


I didn't say me. I said that others are now better versed in Defense Attorney tactics.

There is not a single thing that I listed, that hasn't been pulled out of Houdini's old hat on these boards to try and exonerate Jason.

I never said they couldn't collect other evidence. Michelle's death certificate obviously has nothing to do with her murder since it wasn't issued until after she had died. Possessing a loved one's death certificate isn't sinister so I don't know how the police would justify taking that.


You have no way of knowing what was written, doodled, added or scratched out on it.

I don't know if it would justify taking it, but maybe the original had the time of death on it. There is a box for that on the documet.

Or maybe somone had altered it in someway such as writing a different time of death. I had always thought it was unusual for LE to take a death certificate. I would think they could get one themselves pretty easily. Also, progress reports from Cassidys therapist. I don't think it's usual practice to send a report home. But I've never known a child that was in Cassidy's situation.

Must've been rumor because NG didn't "drive" anyone to suicide. The woman in question had the option of ending the interview if she didn't want to be asked hard questions. IMO

He knew this because the first call to his Mom was LF and she was talking about blood all over the place and Michelle being dead. The Mom thought Michelle died of another miscarriage until MF called later and explained it to her. How much later I don't know.

Melinda Duckett committed suicide hours after being grilled by Nancy Grace. Her show had no compassion and aired the video with a banner down bottom saying she'd killed herself. MD's family now has a civil suit against NG that the courts ruled will go to trial despite her attorney's trying to get it dismissed.

She invites people on her show then ridicules and mocks them while cutting them off and not letting them finish what they are trying to say. She is no one's hero or advocate. She is a bitter woman who thinks she is the only one who is right and everyone had better agree with her.


Guilty consciences cause people to do strange things. Haven't found that little boy yet either, now have they?

The e-mail from Det. Spivey also stated that he and the other detectives would never take their own families to functions with people they couldn't trust, he was speaking about the Lady Bug Lift-Off thrown in honor of Michelle, by her mother and sister. The detectives had their families with them when they attended the memorial for Michelle, and he also stated that they appreciated Linda and Meredith and their patience while the murder was being solved. So, in short, it seemed to say that Meredith was not a suspect in the murder of her sister.

09-28-2008, 09:50 PM
it's unrealistic to believe a detective cares about libel other than why someone feels the need to lie about anyone in the victim's family. Detectives themselves can lie, say anything they want, including telling somebody something they know they want to hear.

People close to a murder suspect have been known to tell people what they want them to believe and repeat as well. They are not necessarily telling the truth. IMO

Barbara2
09-28-2008, 10:23 PM
Maybe lie to give a false sense of security as they did in the Susan Smith case? Some are assuming that because LE wrote an email that Meredith isn't a suspect. I think that's a false assumption to make.

There were plenty of reasons to believe that Susan Smith was guilty of killing her children. I've seen no reason to believe that Meredith is guilty of anything other than trusting her brother in law. IMO

That certainly is an eye opener for me. Thank you, Analyzer for finding it. That stll does not convince me the detectives are not working on Michelle's murder. We learned a long time ago that the detectives traveled to several other states in their investigation of this case. We also learned the detectives have been to Brevard several times. Maybe the detectives are investigating other leads as we speak. We just don't know what they are doing.
