While we wait …

It seems that we’re all waiting for the same information.  What did the Greenwich police find in the house on Hill Street?  We know that a computer, printer and bags of garbage.  We know that they plan on releasing the forensic findings from that search.  Some new evidence too?  Let’s hope!  So what questions do we have to ponder while we sit and wait?  I’ll start a list, feel free to comment and add more.

How was Stephen Kerr received in his community prior to Jaliek’s disappearance?

Has Stephen Kerr or Jocelyn McDonald had any run-in’s with the law prior to Jaliek’s disappearance?

Why didn’t Jaliek receive the therapy that the State of  New York was paying for on a monthly basis?

Will the State of NY continue to pay even though Kerr and McDonald have moved to VT?

Now that Kerr and McDonald have moved to VT, who is checking up on their children?

Who is now paying for the therapy that their adopted daughter should be receiving, NY or VT?

Why hasn’t Stephen taken a polygraph?  I still haven’t heard a good answer to that one.

Kalley adds to the list:

What did Stephen do for a job?  Jocelyn, same question.

What are Stephen’s likes/dislikes?  Jocelyn, same question.

Karen adds to the list:

How old are Kerr’s other children?

Are they in public school?

Is there anyone monitoring the safety of these children?

Today’s news …

It seems that this is the hot topic today.  I hope we hear from the Greenwich police over the weekend on the evidence that they took from the home on Hill Street.  I have highlighted some statements that raised my eyebrow.

Police face lawsuit in Jaliek Rainwalker probe Adoptive parents of missing boy say crusading officers improperly searched their home

GREENWICH — The adoptive parents of missing 12-year-old Jaliek Rainwalker filed notice Friday that they will sue the Cambridge-Greenwich Police Department, claiming officers have “crusaded” against them during their investigation and acted improperly when serving a search warrant on their home last week.

According to Tucker Stanclift, an attorney representing Stephen Kerr and Jocelyn McDonald, a notice of claim was filed by mail seeking civil damages from the Village of Greenwich, its police department and Chief George Bell. The notice claims authorities trespassed on the Hill Street home of Kerr’s father Graham while executing a search warrant there Feb. 7.

Kerr and McDonald were falsely imprisoned, and during that time officers “refused to allow Kerr and his wife to freely move about their own home, without a warrant,” which arrived an hour after investigators arrived, Stanclift said.

The notice says that abuse of process constituted the “intentional infliction of emotional distress,” Stanclift said. A specific amount of damages sought will not arise until the actual lawsuit is filed.

“Jaliek is missing, and the cowboy attitude of this investigation has led to a single, narrow-minded focus,” the attorney said. “It’s a crusade to try my clients in the press.”

Rainwalker has been missing since Nov. 1, and was last seen with his adoptive father in the Hill Street home. Kerr, 37, was named a “person of interest” in the disappearance.

Kerr has said he believes Rainwalker, who is biracial, is alive and perhaps living with a gang or an African-American family in Albany or Troy.

Bell could not immediately be reached for comment on the lawsuit. Assistant Chief Harold Spiezio said “all of our protocols and all of our laws were followed in executing that search warrant.”

During the Feb. 7 search, investigators seized a computer and printer, which they are examining for links to an anonymous note sent to several media outlets saying Rainwalker was alive.
