Ridgeway Arrest

[colorider]

Kdvr.com has the best info. He confessed to his mother. Who turned him in.
His car was towed by the police today. I live 2 blocks from this. Just drove by and the street is full of cops, tents, and other law enforcement/investigative stuff.

I read an article that said his mom turned him in.

Not a legal expert, but since he's a minor and his name was released, wouldn't a release have to come from a parent? I can't remember ever seeing a minor's name release this early in an investigation.

Just sat and watched a whole mess of stuff that has been uncovered...
According to 7News:
-His aunt said that he went to his mother "confessing something terrible relating to this case."
-Unclear as to whether he or his mother called WPD, but someone did late last night and officers arrested him.
-His vehicle was towed and is being processed for evidence.
-His house is being searched with a fine tooth comb by CBI, WPD, JCSO, and FBI.
-He took classes at WarrenTech relating to crime scene investigation, medical forensics, evidence processing, behavior science, and criminal psychology.
-He will be formally charged tomorrow morning at 8AM at the Jefferson County Court House... Charges include kidnapping, murder, attempted kidnapping.
-[my own addition- if he's guilty] Hell is already reserving a special place for this suck fvck...

Now the media needs to shut the fuck up and not try to get "interesting" and "juicy" headline worthy info. If they do they will run the risk of blowing this case apart.

They've already screwed up, since when has the custody report of a minor been published by the media?

See above

I know because they stopped at my friend and neighbor's house yesterday evening and asked if they could search his house and take a DNA sample because he matched a description of the perp.

He let them do both.

Screw that, this blows me away why people have given up their rights. I am all for finding the killer, but I am not going to let my house be searched or my DNA be ran without just cause.

These people think they're DNA records will now just be tossed because they found the killer, yea right.

Yea my MIL house got searched a couple days back, guess this pecker lived about 8 houses down.

Again, why did she let them search her house?

Sick SOB.

Congratulation and prayer's for his mom for doing the right thing, that took integrity. (Prayers for the Victim and family too, of course). Too bad Klebold and Harris' parents did not do the right thing and instead stuck their heads in the sand: fail at parenting.

Also proves that the image of the child predator cruising the streets in their horror wagon is generally a myth, and usually the victim knows the perp.

I wish we had a governor or some official that says the hell with the supreme court, this guy should never walk the streets free again, because he will always be a danger, and he must and will be executed.

Right? It blew me away as well, but he said he was pretty rattled by them just showing up and saying it was in relation to this case.

They sold him on the DNA sample by saying they won't keep the DNA for long and that it would be inadmissible in other cases. He bought it.

Unfortunately, the whole "Stranger Danger" stuff is not merely wrong but misguided.

Its rarer for children to be victimized by strangers than by people they know or are even related to. It could almost be said that a child in danger would be better off contacting a stranger for help.

This case will unfortunately only reinforce the misguided fears of parents.

Even if they have to release him, I'm sure justice will find him.

Probably the only way justice will find him.
