Rose Whitaker spoke with Skyla on her cell phone (Skyla's cell phone) at about 4:30 and that time the girls were at the Placker house and everything was great. Rose had been OOT and had just returned and had stopped at the Farm just up the road from the Plackers where her Mother (Claudia Farrow) and Stepfather were working when she called and spoke with Skyla.
Do you think there's any possibility that Skyla just said they were at the Placker's house but they really had already left?
Sometime after that call Taylor got permission from GPa and GMa for her and Skyla to walk to the bridge.
If GMa and GPa weren't at home, could the girls have also pretended to be at the Placker house but were really already headed toward the bridge?
5 PM (est) Joe Mosher passed the girls (and the POI) on County Line Road - the girls were walking toward home.
Question: What was Joe Mosher doing in the area if the Plackers weren't home? Did he go there because he knew they weren't home? Why was he still in the area at 5:30 when the bodies were found?
If he saw the girls walking, why didn't he stop and talk to them? Since the murder scene was 1/2 mile from the Placker house, I would like to know whether this would be the normal direction for Joe Mosher to take to get to the house? Didn't the police come in from the other direction? This guy was all over the place that day. Makes me suspicious.
Rose Whitaker attempted to call Skyla on her phone again at about 5:05 PM to say she was coming to get her soon. She did not get an answer.
At 5:08-5:10PM Rose called GPa/GMa Placker on their cell phone to let them know she was coming to pick up Skyla shortly. She told the Plackers Skyla did not answer her phone and that she wanted Skyla ready to leave when she arrived because the Whitakers were having guests over and had planned to BBQ/grill dinner at their house Sun night. It is believed that at THIS TIME GPa/GMa Placker were NOT at home, but elsewhere in their vehicle.
Whether or not they were home when the girls left could answer a lot of my questions.
GPa called Taylor on her cell phone and did not get an answer.
Do they have a record of exactly what time this call was made?
5:20-5:30 GMa and GPa Placker arrive home - probably with the small child heard on the 911 tape - GPa talks to Joe Mosher who says he just saw the girls walking home - after checking the house and property GPa Placker starts walking N on County Line Road to get the girls to come home.
5:35 - 5:41 PM The girls are found shot to death alongside the road 1/4 mile N of the Placker Driveway one the same side of the road as the driveway/Placker House and 911 is called
5:45 PM GPa Placker calls Rose Whitaker and tells her something has happened to the girls - she arrives with 5 minutes as she was less than a mile away. GPa Placker meets Rose at her car to stop her from seeing the bodies.
6PM 1st responders have arrived - stopping 1st at the Placker residence to the S of the crime scene. They take control of the scene and roadblock County Line Road from the road S of the crime scene and the Placker home, to Bryant Rd. The distance between the two roadblocks is aprox 2 miles. Rose's mom and stepdad Claudia and Jimmy Farrow arrive at the crime scene coming from N of the crime scene
6:15 PM OSBI has been notified and is dispatching personnel, equipment, helicopters etc to the scene.
On the scene now are Peter and Vicky Placker, Rose Whitaker, Joe Mosher and Claudia and Jimmie Farrow plus at least one unidentified child (who arrived with the Plaker G-Parents).
The crime scene was cleared by the time it began raining at aprox 4AM Monday morning - Joe Mosher left the scene and drove into Henryette, where he ate at the 24 hour Pig Out restaurant.
My Opinion
Of course, they are going to make it sound good no matter what!
