Marjorie McCaffrey case: Erased or walked off…you decide

Posted on March 20, 2012
by Valhall - The Hinky Meter

36-year-old Marjorie McCaffrey went missing sometime after 10 p.m. Saturday, March 17th. That’s according to her husband, Robert McCaffrey. It appears that Marjorie may have been murdered, either before 10 pm, at 10 pm, or after she was taken from the home. While there was a note left in the home, police have not released it, nor given any detail of the contents of the note, BUT IT WAS TYPED. One page of the police report is being withheld from the public as well.

Here’s Robert’s story…

He and Marjorie (and it is assumed their two children) went out to eat on Saturday afternoon. Sometime after that they got into what he describes as a “verbal fight”. At some point he took a walk around the neighborhood “because he had a lot on his mind”. He claims he returned to their West Ashley, South Carolina home at 7:45 pm and Marjorie was lying on the bed. He claims she ignored him and then, over 2 hours later at 10 pm, he had had it and needed to have his own space because he was “emotionally distraught” about his marriage and he drove to the family’s second home 4 hours away in Easley. He stayed there until he returned at 6:30 a.m. finding Marjorie missing.

Marjorie McCaffrey case: Robert and his road trip

Posted on March 21, 2012
by Valhall - The Hinky Meter

So, eraser-husband Robert McCaffrey actually went FURTHER than Easley, South Carolina on the same night his wife, mysteriously disappeared and thoughtfully left behind everything that would be valuable to Robert…including her two children. His speeding ticket was 2:15 am in Traveler’s Rest, which is about 19 more miles to the northeast of Easley. Seems Robert couldn’t even have had time to stop by his Easley residence considering all the running about he did that night.

Marjorie McCaffrey case: POI identified, arrest pending

Posted on March 23, 2012
by Valhall - The Hinky Meter

Charleston County Sheriff’s deputies continue to dig, and dig deep, into the disappearance (erasure) of Marjorie McCaffrey. They have been focusing on the McCaffrey residence and intend to return today. When asked if digging would be involved in their search of the McCaffrey property they responded that if the investigation led in that direction it would be. They have already confiscated Robert McCaffrey’s pick-up and have stated he is not cooperating. And, yes, Bob is lawyered-up.

Lots of new details have come out about the last day Majorie McCaffrey was seen alive, and the same day she was most likely murdered. Contrary to statements that Robert apparently made about that day, which were that they had a lunch about 2 pm on Saturday afternoon, went home, had an argument, he took a walk, and then a few hours later hit the road for Bob’s Most Excellent Adventure which included 8 hours of driving and a speeding ticket….that’s not what happened. At least part of it is not what happened.

The 911 call made by Gayle's husband reminds me so much of Sergio Celis' 911 call. The calmness, the chuckling, just the mood of the caller.

Something is just not right.

T.R.P.D. dash cam video shows husband hours before wife reported missing

Friday, 18 May 2012
Written by James Richardson

TRAVELERS REST, S.C. – Authorities have released the dash camera video that shows the traffic stop of Robert McCaffrey just hours before he reported his wife, Gayle McCaffrey, missing from their Charleston home.

(Note: Click here to watch part 2 of the video of the traffic stop.)

In the video, officer Patrick Lavery with the Travelers Rest Police Department pulls McCaffrey over on Highway 25 about 2:15 a.m. on March 18, 2012, for allegedly going 64 mph in a 45 mph.

At the beginning of the stop, McCaffrey is heard talking on a cell phone, which he attempts to hand Lavery. At one point, Lavery is seen placing his hand on his gun when he notices a handgun on the armrest in the truck.

McCaffery said he had just removed the gun from the arm rest and that he had no other weapons, “except a pocketknife”.

During the traffic stop, McCaffery said that he and his wife were having problems and he had driven to the area to see a girlfriend, but she had “blown him off”.

After the serial number on the gun, a 9mm, was checked, the firearm was returned to McCaffery, who received a citation for speeding as a result of the stop.

By Keke Collins

MOUNT PLEASANT, SC (WCSC) - The police officer who pulled over Gayle McCaffrey's husband the day his wife was reported missing said he saw a gun sitting in McCaffrey's truck.

The traffic stop was on March 18, just hours before Robert McCaffrey alerted authorities to his wife's disappearance.

Traveler's Rest police officer Patrick Lavery says he caught Robert McCaffrey going 63 mph in a 45 mph zone around 2 a.m. in the Upstate. Lavery says when he walked towards the truck, McCaffrey apologized for going too fast and handed him a cell phone.

McCaffrey then told the officer to talk to the person on the other line to which the officer declined.

According to Lavery, McCaffrey admitted he was having wife and girlfriend problems. Soon after, Lavery spotted a gun in McCaffrey's truck.

One of the reasons, a wary sheriff’s office would open a homicide investigation. Though relatives of Gayle McCaffrey are not ready publically indict anyone just yet.
