Yeah.
Right.
It's when, like, it's the idea of him touting that he is a man, which makes him amazing, when, like, there's no hard facts to back it up type thing is what you're saying.
Yeah, I get that. So he brings up this nature concept again later to Mung-Shi 2. Basically survival of the fittest.
He's saying nature, but he's referring to it in the context of survival of the fittest, as in I'm a man and you're a woman. So technically, she's nature.
This is so weird. He is very much like...
So to police, this sounds like a blatant threat. Like listening to these fights, they're like, this guy is blatantly threatening her life. Like saying, I am stronger than you and could kill you, basically. No two ways about it. At one point, things get so intense between the couple that Mengshi actually called Joe's mother, Jean, to come over and try to talk to her son.
Sensing her urgency, her mother-in-law made the two-hour drive to the couple's house that day, but to be honest, she didn't seem to help much. By the way, that meeting was recorded as well.
And while Jean says she's not taking sides, that she's just a mediator, she really doesn't do anything when her son threatens Mengshi right in front of his mom, asking if he should just smack her or beat her down to get her to behave the way she wants. He says that in front of his mom, and the mom really doesn't say anything. What's up, Mom? We got some problems going on here. We're a series.
Well, I mean, mate, never mind. I was just gonna say, sometimes we like to repeat trauma behavior.
Ja, also vielleicht hat er dieses Verhalten gelernt. Ich sage nicht, dass ich keine Beweise habe, das zu beurteilen. Ich sage nur, dass wir statistisch wissen, dass wir Trauma-Verhältnisse wiederholen. Wir mögen unsere Mütter oder unsere Väter verabreden.
Ich weiß, was du sagst. Also, ob es eine Serie von physischen Veränderungen zwischen Joe und Mengxi gab, bin ich nicht sicher. Es scheint nicht so, als ob any of those were caught on tape. But I can safely say, as with any domestically abusive partnership, whether that's physical or just verbally abusive, there's usually a big reason why someone sticks around and oftentimes it is financial.
But in Meng Shis case, it may have been because of her immigration status.
Nur fünf Monate nachdem sie vermisst war, musste sie noch ein Interview machen, um ihre grüne Karte zu versichern. Es ist also sehr möglich, dass sie auf die letzte Hürde gewartet hatte, bevor sie Joe verlassen, weil, wenn sie ihn verlassen hätte, hätte sie sich leichter verabschiedet. Und dann, was wird sie mit Anna tun? Verlässt sie die Verwaltung? Es ist eine ganze Sache.
So while there was no concrete evidence that Joe Elledge had done anything to his wife at this point, those recordings were more than enough for police to consider him their prime suspect. About two weeks after her disappearance, the Columbia Police Department publicly stated they were opening up a criminal investigation on her disappearance.
And that same day, October 25th, 2019, police came knocking on Joe Elledges door with a warrant. but not for Mengshi's death. This was on completely different charges. It was for child abuse. And trigger warning, I'm just very quickly going to be talking about child abuse, so if that is a trigger, just go ahead and skip.
So, an anonymous source had called the police to say Mengshi had confided in her before her death that Joe had hit one-year-old Anna so hard that spankte sie, er hatte einen Schmerz auf der Nase geblieben. Und ein Statement, das tatsächlich verabschiedet wurde, als Detektive Bilder von diesem Schmerz auf Munchs iPad gefunden haben.
Also, während Joe argumentierte, dass er spielte und sie vielleicht ein bisschen zu hart verpissete, wussten die Bewerber, dass ein Verpiss nicht so groß wie ein Schmerz ist und es selten schwarz, blau und grün wird, wie das in der Fotografie. Und ich kann das nicht mit dem. Ich kann das nicht. Also, Joe wurde mit nach der Station gebracht und mit einem Verbrechen für Kindesabsturz verurteilt.
What could a one-year-old do? His bond was set at $500,000. This is a price officers knew Joe couldn't afford, except this is obviously all part of their plan. With Joe behind bars, they are one step closer to nabbing him for Mengshi's disappearance. But that wasn't all the detectives accomplished that afternoon. See, they didn't just show up at the house with just an arrest warrant for Joe.
They also showed up with a search warrant for the property. So while he's in jail, they are searching his property. They find some pretty interesting stuff, like... Mungshis Passport, all of her luggage. This is a very clear indicator that Mungshi had not fled the country to be with someone else, as Joe had initially theorized to police.
