Angela Hammond Case Update

[ghosthouse]

I'm sure I have said it on this board before but from 30k feet Rob's story is too "neat" and I would bet a detective would think the same thing.

Assuming his story is how UM depicted it, Rob, thru Angela, got the most detailed and complete description of a suspect and vehicle that were never found, possibly of all time. I would think a cop would feel that extensive of a description from someone who didn't even see the person first hand would seem "fishy" or too obviously planned out.

With that said, I guess they did find Rob's car broken down in the road, so ultimately I do not think he did it. But I can definitely see why people would question him. It's just wild to me that they never found the guy or the truck with such detail. The truck decal alone should have been enough.

I agree with you that at first blush he appears to be the most likely suspect, however, the police cleared him pretty quickly IIRC. Never finding the guy or the truck decal is a mystery, but there are so many UM cases that you would think could have been solved by now that haven't been.

The YouTube channel Lore Lodge covered this case about a month ago. It's about an hour long but he states some interesting factoids about the case. Even random little things I never knew like the name of the person who picked Rob up within minutes of his truck breaking down. Apparently she was on a late night run to get some food from Hardee's and drove past Rob. She drove him to the police station within minutes.

I get EARLY suspicion from the police, but when the police, family believe him and his story (while insane and almost a like a movie) can be backed up with witnesses (people saw the truck and some saw the guy who DUCKED DOWN!), it makes me eliminate Rob. Add to it the time and broke down car

Interesting watch, thanks for posting. Several new fresh thoughts.

I agree. As I said in another thread, I understand that there are people, including on this board, that still pin the blame on Rob Shafer. I just can't. It doesn't make sense to me. Paul Pollis, on the other hand....

I get the skepticism of Rob's story. The cops were clearly skeptical because for the first few weeks after Angela's disappearance, they were investigating him. They eventually cleared him, but this notion that the cops should've done more or that they gave Rob some sort of a pass is ridiculous. IMO, the investigators focused too much on Rob and then Angela's ex-boyfriend in the early stages of the investigation, which is why it's remained unsolved for so much time.

Agreed!! No sense to me and even the guy who made the podcast didn’t blame Rob, just threw out the suspicious behavior of Angela and gave a reason why some think Rob did it, but when he and others use their brain, it’s easy to see why we don’t believe he did anything. My main issue is time. He didn’t have the time to do this. If he killed her, he’d need an accomplice.

Agreed!! Paul Pollis killed Charlotte!! My only thing I don’t agree with is his daughter witnessing it. I think that’s coaching.

Agreed!!! Maybe you should go on YouTube and talk to these morons, I got one guy thinking Rob somehow hired a hit man. I just don’t see how (if Rob hired a hit man) that he wouldn’t be caught. I fully believe his story which while insane can happen
