Ad Hoc Primary Staged Scenes
An Ad Hoc staged crime scene is basically what the name implies; it is an intentional effort to misdirect the police, undertaken or completed by the offender, but without forethought and preplanning. In other words, the staging takes place “after the fact” of some crime or event. There are a couple of basic differences between this type of staged crime scene and the others covered later in this article. The main difference with Ad Hoc scenes is the clear lack of “premeditation” or prior planning and the impulsivity involved in the “staging,” or actual alteration of the scene. An Ad Hoc staged crime scene would typically result from efforts of the offender to cover up criminal acts, omissions, or negligent activity by staging the scene to provide an alternateexplanation as to what really happened. Therefore, the altered or changed physical evidence and subsequent statements or explanations offered by the offender is almost always related to some type of self-preservation effort to divert police attention away from themselves and onto someone or something else.

Often these types of staged scenes do not necessarily reflect added evidence, as much as it reflects missing evidence, and/or an otherwise altered scene. Examples of common Ad Hoc staging efforts would include child abuse deaths wherein the offender suddenly and thoroughly clean the residence; temporary removal of other children prior to police arrival; or the victim is bathed, redressed, or repositioned in bed to alter the way the scene and the child would be seen by the authorities. In cases such as drug abuse deaths, the scene might be cleaned up and all illegal substances removed. The victim may then be repositioned to resemble an accidental or natural type death, such as an accidental drowning in a bathtub. On more than one occasion a female victim was removed from the scene, undressed and left out in public and posed in a sexualized manner to resemble a sexual homicide.
One of the better examples of an Ad Hoc type staged crime scene is illustrated in the following case example:

Case Study #1
A frantic young couple reported that on the previous evening person(s) unknown entered their apartment and kidnapped their four month old baby from her bedroom. The parents claimed that the father was away working a double shift and the mother had put the child to bed around 9 PM the night the child was kidnapped. When the mother woke up in the morning, she discovered the child missing with the front door closed but unlocked. She immediately called her husband who came right home and called the police. The parents claimed to have no idea what happened to their child and could not think of any potential suspects. The kidnapping report initiated an immediate response from all of the local police agencies.
A detailed crime scene search was initiated, but no signs of forced entry or other physical evidence consistent with the parent’s claim were discovered. During the background investigation of the family, relatives and friends reported that the wife was not known to keep a very clean house and there was actual concern about the general welfare of all of their children. Yet, the house at the time of the scene processing was orderly, neat, and clearly had been recently cleaned. The mother’s statements to police claimed of spending the previous days engaged in normal family activity and portrayed herself as a normal and caring parent. However, this was not the general feeling of friends and neighbors, who portrayed the mother as neglectful and inattentive to all of her children. Eventually the parents were confronted with the conflicting information and the mother confessed that the child actually died from neglect. The mother had been on the computer almost nonstop for almost an entire week and had never checked on the child. Most likely it had literally starved to death, while the mother played on the internet. She discovered the child dead in her crib the previous evening and called her husband who managed to sneak away from his job and returned home. He took the child, wrapped it in a blanket, and then took the child to an open rural area and threw the child’s body into a nearby pond where it was later recovered. The husband and wife later plead guilty to various offenses regarding the death and disposal of their daughter.

In the above cited case example, as with many other Ad Hoc type staged scenes, the mother had no real intention to murder their child. But, once she made the discovery she had no idea how to explain the child’s death. Rather than admitting to any wrongdoing, the mother and father impulsively formulated an “ad hoc” plan to explain the child’s disappearance and demise. While the husband took control of the child’s body, the wife went through and completely cleaned their house from top to bottom. Their decision was an attempt to deflect attention onto an unknown intruder and thus escape or deflect any suspicion, blame and responsibility for their actions.
Rather than being forced to provide any details, information, or explanation as to what happened, they claimed no knowledge as to the exact circumstances surrounding the event. By maintaining that the mother was asleep and the father wasn’t home, they believed they created an easily manageable explanation of events. The “complainant’s” lack of knowledge or inability to remember what exactly happened is a frequent finding in these types of events because it is easier for the guilty party to maintain their story if they don’t have to recount any details.
However, because the explanation of events are basically created "on the run" and not planned out in any great detail, inconsistencies are usually much easier for investigators to recognize and uncover. One of the key features of this type of staged scene is the nature of the description of events and the “evidence” left behind or presented to the investigators at the scene. Interestingly, there seems to be an overwhelming need for the offender who stages an "Ad Hoc" scene to paint themselves in the most positive manner by pointing out how responsible they were, what precautions they may have taken to prevent such accidents, or express frustration at the event taking place when they were not around to do something to prevent the occurrence. For those offenders who do place themselves at the scene at the time of the incident, it is not unusual for them to claim a vigorous but unsuccessful physical resistance against an unknown attacker, but was somehow overpowered or injured and could not resist any further.

Yes a very good read, I have read a lot of this before from a blog.

This is particularly interesting:

It is with this thinking [ moderated ] Kate finding Maddie missing- the drama of running to announce it- the placement of a door making her suspicious? ( open- ajar etc) jemmied shutters- whooshing sounds to alert her to look again at Maddie- kids not waking up. Denouncing instantly that Maddie could have walked and wandered-insisting Maddie has BEEN ABDUCTED and has come to no harm (like, really)? playing on words about 'checking' the children. The children were not physically checked. There seemed to be a delay in getting the point across that the children were left alone every night while parents enjoyed a meal with drinks. This was passed off as 'like sitting in your back garden /everybody does it'.

Then the strange behaviour of the parents.

I am not claiming to know the reasons why [moderated] but I suspected at the time it, when all other information became known, that it was to protect their reputation and to prevent being charged with child abandonment- to save face etc.
Other people have different suspicions. If only the McCanns hadn't claimed abduction at the beginning and accepted that Maddie could have walked and wandered- it could have worked out so differently.

 Perhaps other peoples suspicions of a more sinister take have some kind of truth in it?

Police have charged the former babysitter of a two-year-old girl who vanished from her Massachusetts home in the middle of the night and was found naked and injured eight miles away.

Lyndon Albers was discovered on the side of the road in Rowley by a couple driving to work just before 10am on Friday - three hours after she was reported missing.

She had cigarette burns on her body and her head had been shaved. 

Abigail Hanna, of Topsfield, was arrested and is being held without bail, Hamilton police said.
She was charged with kidnapping, assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, assault and battery on a child and breaking and entering.

Lyndon (pictured, before her disappearance) was last seen by her parents at home at around 3am and then reported missing at 7am on Friday

According to her Facebook profile, Hanna is from Boston but lives in Topsfield. She previously lived in London.

She is listed as studying English Literature at Gordon College in Massachusetts and is apparently a counseler there.

She also says she has studied at the Azusa Pacific University in California as well as The Master's School in Connecticut. 
Her profile also lists that she got engaged to Nathan Wolters earlier this month.

Hanna's father, Laurie, is listed on Facebook as a teacher at Stafford Springs Elementary in Connecticut.

After her arrest, Hamilton Police Chief Russell Stevens said the evidence indicates that the abduction was not a random crime.

He added that further details are not being released to 'protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation'. 
Sources told WHDH that the family had trusted the babysitter at one point, but had recently fired her.

Lyndon's parents Tim and Joanie told police they last saw her at around 3am at their home in Hamilton, Massachusetts. They reported her missing at 7am.

According to necn, an Amber Alert was in the process of being issued before Lyndon was found.

She was shivering from the cold and sitting in a pile of leaves with a bruise on her newly shaved head when she was spotted by Tom and Marge Crosby, who were driving to their boutique in Amesbury at the time.

Tom Crosby said it was a 'vision; that compelled him to turn his car around after spotting the child in the road.

'I don’t want to say a vision but that’s what it was — a vision,' he told the Boston Herald. 'I drove by and then quickly it flashed through my head. I said ‘Was that a baby or was it a doll?’'

The couple bundled the child into their car and gave her a blanket as they waited for police.   

'She was alert but had a big contusion on her head,' his wife Marge added to WHDH.
Lyndon was reunited with her parents at Beverly Hospital and has since been transferred to Boston Children's Hospital, where she is listed as being in a fair condition.

On Friday, Chief Stevens could not confirm if Lyndon left the home on her own accord or if she was taken.

'We're trying to put the pieces together right now,' he said at a news conference.

'It's like a jigsaw puzzle and a bunch of the pieces are missing.'

Police executed a search warrant at Lyndon's home on Friday and said they were treating it as a crime scene until they knew more information. 

Stevens also said there was no threat to the public.
'If I thought parents should be concerned, I would be the first one standing if front of this microphone and your cameras telling them to be concerned,' he said.
'So right now I would say no, you do not need to be concerned.'

Then came Oct. 3, a day on which several odd things happened. Irwin, who works at a friend's electrical company during the day, had a side job remodeling the lighting in a nearby Starbucks that evening. He spent time with his family between shifts, then drove to work around 5:30 p.m. "I told Deborah I should be home by 10 or so," he says. But the job was trickier than expected, and he didn't leave the Starbucks until after 3:00 a.m. And because they hadn't paid their cell phone bill and their service had been restricted, Irwin wasn't able to let Bradley know when he'd be home. Bradley says she was never worried because "I knew he was at work." Still, it was the first time Irwin had ever worked that late at night.

FBI cadaver dog sniffed scent of dead body at home of missing Missouri baby Lisa Irwin
Friday, October 21, 2011

An FBI cadaver dog sniffed out the scent of a dead person inside the Kansas City home of missing 11-month-old Lisa Irwin, The Associated Press reported Friday.

The interesting development in the puzzling Oct. 4 disappearance of the little girl came to light in a police affidavit released Friday.

The baby girl's parents, Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley, told police when they reported her disappearance that someone must have broken into their home as they slept and kidnapped the child.

A police official told a local TV station that the missing baby's parents have refused to meet with detectives and get a grilling.

The cadaver dog detected a scent - or a "hit" - on the floor of Bradley's bedroom, according to the affidavit.

Based on the findings, a judge granted a search warrant, and the FBI combed through the family's home on Wednesday, according to the court papers.

Investigators carted off blankets, children's toys and clothing, along with rolls of tape and a tape dispenser, the court papers say.

Police refused to dish about what the search turned up.

"We aren't able to talk about specifics of the case," Kansas City Police Department spokeswoman Stacey Graves said, according to The AP. "The documents that were made public will have to stand on their own."

Also Friday, tantalizing information surfaced about neighbors who saw suspicious activity in the same neighborhood on the cold early morning when the baby vanished.

Three people told ABC's "Good Morning America" they saw a man walking in the neighborhood, carrying a child wearing only a diaper.

One of the potential witnesses, Mike Thompson, told the TV program that he was riding home on his motorcycle about 4 a.m. when he saw a man, clad in a T-shirt, holding a baby as he walked on a block near where Lisa's parents live.

Thompson said the baby was wearing only diapers, and that in retrospect he believes the child resembled Lisa.

He said it was "45 degrees, \[the\] baby don't have a coat or nothing, and this guy is walking down the street ... I thought it was kind of weird."

The other two potential witnesses, a couple that lives down the street from the baby's home, reported seeing a similar sight a few hours earlier.

"It was shocking because I couldn't imagine anyone walking with their baby in the cold like that with no clothes on," one of the neighbors told ABC.

Thompson said he waited about a week to tell cops what he had seen because he didn't immediately make the possible connection between the child-toting man and Lisa's disappearance.

Police said they were aware of the sightings.

"That is something that we've followed up on," Graves told ABC. Graves added that investigators "haven't discounted it, and we have no reason to believe that they didn't see what they said that they saw."

The AP reported cops have cleared nearly 700 tips in the case, and are currently pursuing about 60 out-of-state leads.

Meanwhile, a so-called close friend of the missing baby's mother told The Huffington Post that Bradley had a dark side.

"She was my friend at one time and I loved to be around her, but when I \[saw\] the other side of her and got to know the true Debbie, I couldn't even believe I trusted her with anything," Shirley Pfaff told the website.

She said she met Bradley when they were military wives and neighbors at Fort Bragg.

Bradley has sparred with police since her daughter went missing, charging them with treating her unfairly in accusing her of being uncooperative and changing her story.

Pfaff said that doesn't surprise her.

"When the story broke, it was a normal morning in my house," Pfaff said. "I got up, put on a pot of coffee and turned on 'Good Morning America' like usual, and I ... heard 'Deborah Bradley.' I immediately thought: "This can't be the Debbie I know.'"

"It just seemed unreal until I walked back into the living room after hearing her voice \[on TV\]. I just about collapsed. It just made me sick because I just wouldn't put this girl Debbie past \[doing\] anything crazy."

Lisa in bed at 7:30 p.m. Debbie in bed at 10:30 after checking on Lisa. 6 year old son slept with Debbie in parents room. Point of entry by abductor was unlocked front door, window mentioned earlier was NOT tampered with.
Irwin, an electrician, said he returned from work around 4 a.m. Tuesday and discovered Lisa was missing. Bradley said she last checked on the child around 10:30 p.m., then fell asleep in her bed with her 6-year-old son and a stray kitten they found earlier in the day.

Tuesday October 4, 2011 3:30 a.m. (first report stated it was 4:00 a.m.) Father returns home from work and discovered baby missing from crib. http://www.ky3.com/news/ky3-100-offi...,3181219.story

UPDATE 10-6-11 3 cell phones also taken. One does not even work. Also, dad came home to find front door unlocked, most of the lights on and front window open.

Jeremy Irwin, Lisa’s father, told local media that whoever took his daughter also took all three of their cell phones so they couldn’t call anybody, including 911.

Other two sons asleep in different bedrooms. (sons are half brothers to Lisa-the 6 year old is Debbie’s and the 8 year old is Jeremy’s from previous relationships.)—Correction. One son—the 6 year old was asleep with the mom and a stray kitten he had found earlier in the day.

Quote from Lisa--“He seen the guy act like he was going to go into a residence,” Parscale said, “but then my husband drove off so we’re thinking that maybe he was just doing that so that my husband would leave.”

**Parscale says her husband saw the man walking on a street perpendicular to North Lister, where Lisa Irwin lives with her parents and brothers.

Tuesday October 4, 2011 3:30 a.m. (first report stated it was 4:00 a.m.) Father returns home from work and discovered baby missing from crib. Father calls 911 around 4:04 a.m.

Madeleine v the paedophile brain

The possibility that Madeleine was snatched by a paedophile cannot be overlooked.

Trying to assess the actual likelihood of this is like entering a legal minefield.

Fortunately,  BBC2 is running a programme tonight, 24 Nov 2015, at 10pm, entitled “The Truth About Child Sex Abuse.”

The programme is NOT about Madeleine McCann, and frankly, I doubt her name will be mentioned.

But if you want to see why the programme IS relevant to the Madeleine case, please read http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34858350  Are paedophiles brains wired differently?

I suspect we will haggling over statements, facts and figures from this.  I have no ability to record this, therefore anyone who captures this will be doing us all a favour.
