Wow, lots of new (to me) information here.
First, apparently LE don’t think CH (or his phone) was ever over near Rodd Field Rd., the pain management place, Williams, Holly, etc. They think he disappeared from right there outside his apartment (this is my interpretation of the crime online audio).
To me this resolves the barefoot question. No issues being barefoot inside your apt or just outside it in the parking lot for a little while - either walking the dog - or waiting for UE.
And since it seems LE thinks whatever happened to CH, happened right there (again, my interpretation of what was said), it seems that he WAS out waiting for UE (something I thought was unlikely before hearing this).
LE cannot explain how a snapchat of the foggy bridge right there at The Cottages was sent to one of CH’s friends at 3:03 am - when they are certain that his phone was dead or turned off at 2:58 am. I got the impression that they (LE) think this discrepancy might be explained by a server issue or some other tech or app or signal or carrier issue (again, that’s just how I understood the comments).
Yesterday I was wondering whether CH actually took the bridge photo / snap - or if perhaps it was taken by somebody else using his phone - but I now assume it had to have been him as it was sent to one of his friends.
Apparently the UE driver saw a car leaving The Cottages as she came into the complex to deliver the order. LE has supposedly identified and spoken to the individual in the car who was leaving.
Apparently that person (the one leaving) was a friend of somebody else who lived in the apartment complex, and they were headed back to where they lived (I think I caught this as being San Antonio
/ New Braunfels, but will have to re-listen). LE apparently do not believe this individual was involved in CH’s disappearance. But, I wonder if CH knew that individual, given the San Antonio / New Braunfels connection? Maybe they should re-interview him/her. Btw, everything in this paragraph - in fact everything in this post - is just my opinion and / or pure speculation.
So, what could have happened right outside the apartment complex between 2:58 am and 3:20 am when the UE driver showed up. I’ve read before that LE has checked out the UE driver and don’t feel like she was involved. The one remaining roommate reportedly went to bed at around 2 am. I think the other / third roommate and his friend (who was seen on the 1 am dog walk video) went to that roommate’s girlfriend’s place, but I’m not sure.
The impression I got was that the roommates had grown up together, been best friends since they grade school. New Braunfels area. Sounds like they all went to a private Christian school there.
There obviously was a ring cam at the area of the parking lot where they were seen walking the dog closer to 1 am., but I’m guessing there was no camera in the area of the apt pkg lot facing that bridge.
And certainly one of the strangest things of all is the phone being dead/turned off at 2:58 am. Yes the explanation could be as simple and innocent as: it ran it of power, - but if it didn’t, it might mean that something happened in a wider window of time, say from 2:45 am (after the UE order was placed) up to 3:20 am.
This something happening between 2:45 am and 2:58 however, would also mean (to me) that somebody else probably took the bridge snap (which I still think is unlikely - though I suppose the snap could have been taken by somebody else using CH’s phone who also knew the friend CH sent the snap to..) - and then turned off the phone (again, if it didn’t just run out of power). If it was intentionally turned off, that would almost have to have been pre-planned (by either CH or somebody who took CH’s phone), wouldn’t it? All speculation
Lastly, from the crime online audio.. what an amazing job LE is doing, the resources and organizations that are involved is really impressive: local LE, CC, Texas Rangers, FBI, US Marshals Service, IT / social media analysis, search and rescue orgs, dogs, volunteers - and I’ve probably forgotten a few.
It’s so bizarre. What could have happened to Caleb Harris?
All jmo.
