Go see his country act live, and throw your bra on stage.

Yeah, hard pass on that one. Thanks, though!

Np. Always trying to help the people anyway I can

To me, the weirdest thing about this case about a missing young boy .... is that they spend so much time worried about the stray cats around the property!

That makes so little sense that it has to be a red herring. I feel there is no reason for the Gibson family to even introduce the cat story unless they need to explain away the sound of a shot that day.

Yeah and there's a lot that can be inferred from Larry's apparent propensity for senseless cat-killing.

In all seriousness, I will preface what I'm about to say with that I think Larry Gibson killed Tommy.

But even if Larry was an abusive parent (and I believe he was), that doesn't mean that what he did was premeditated. IMO, the most likely scenario is that Larry accidentally shot Tommy, and then with the help of his wife (and maybe brother) covered it up. In the UM segment, Larry's wife says that after she heard the gunshot, she could still hear Tommy playing. If this is true, then Larry would be innocent. I think he accidentally shot Tommy, went jogging, and came back and he and his wife discovered what had happened and then they covered it up.

I completely agree that everything about his case points to accident followed by a panicked cover-up. Probably a stray bullet, and it’s certainly possible that no one saw him get hit. There’s a tragic case that was profiled on Forensic Files where it was proven that a bullet fired at an outdoor firing range went over a beam, through boards and off a ceiling to killed a boy who was sitting in a “safety zone” indoors. The path of the bullet was as insane as that JFK “magic” bullet yet they proved it happened with forensics

I remember that episode. I think it was even titled "The Magic Bullet".

I seem to remember one of Danny Paquette's sisters (either in the UM segment or in a book I read about the case) saying there's no way Danny could've been shot from a distance away by a hunter or even someone deliberately sniping him in the woods (as was ultimately proven to be the case) because he was standing behind a bulldozer and the only place the round could've traveled was through an opening on that piece of machinery only two or three feet wide. Yet that's exactly what happened, as his killer even testified. All of this to say that the physics and other scientific principles that comprise the field of ballistics aren't self-evident nor "common sense", yet the public often treats them as though they are.

I think even Larry Gibson himself even touched on this (and perhaps told on himself a bit) when he mentioned "anything can happen" when a weapon is discharged. I'm not sure he meant it literally, but that so many more variables are involved than just the firearm and the projectile.

Since LG has already been convicted and served time, why doesn’t he own up to what he did and lead authorities to the boy’s remains?

I know this is a months later response, but my best guess would be because there are people who legitimately still believe that he had nothing to do with Tommy's death and that there is a possibility that he is still alive. Confessing would shatter any relationship he has with those people.

He still has an active YouTube account under the name "easygibson". Look at the video called "Life slides" for various photographs of him. There are a couple of Tommy and some of his daughters, who seem to have kept in touch with him.

The world owes this guy an apology if he's innocent and something else happened to Tommy. Like a kidnapping that was initially mentioned by his daughter Karen, but then retracted later.

I do lean on the accidental killing. Shooting the stray cat and then Tommy getting the bullet. Then the cover up. If I were a betting man, that's the one I pick.

But even then, where is the evidence of this? Sure he was a cop, he could have been better at a cover up than an average person but no body is found? No blood? No blood in his patrol car? None on him? If he did dump the body he has very little time to put it somewhere.

A lot of unanswered questions here that I don't like personally. I also don't think the judge believed Karen's report about seeing him beat Tommy until he was limp and then dispose of him. Because he had such a light jail sentence for that.
