No Arrest = Innocence?

 I’ve read these and similar views many times on various blogs, news sites, Facebook pages:

“I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as people think, or someone would be in jail right now.”

“I don’t believe there’s that much evidence.  He’d be arrested if there was.”

“If Trista was so sure Ayla was deceased, and she had evidence, why was there no movement at all? Why were statements like “Justin is free to go just like you and I” made.”

Sometimes even people under suspicion from the public and/or LE will make similar statements:

“I’m not going to answer any questions about it, but I will say this: If there was something there, I don’t think I’d be standing here with you right now.”  Justin DiPietro

Here are just a few of the many, many cases where there is a missing or deceased child.  For most, if not all, there is a person or persons of interest either named by LE or presumed to be “of interest” by the public due to the evidence presented.  There are some where who is responsible seems pretty clear and there has been no arrest as of yet. In some cases there were arrests/convictions on a lesser charge (Gabriel Johnson, Skelton Brothers) or a charge unrelated to the child’s disappearance that resulted in prison time (Haleigh Cummings, Aliayah Lunsford). There are some where a Grand Jury voted to indict but no charges were filed (JonBenet Ramsey) and some where the family had to take to social media and organize a petition drive to get results (Juliette Geurtz).

Just because there has been no arrest made in a case does not mean there is an absence of evidence nor does it point to anyone’s innocence.
