Wouldn't Wendi then invoke her 5th Amendment right not to speak, potentially incriminating herself?

Maybe the girlfriend is no longer alive

In earlier threads some folks noted VW's lack of a social media presence. An initial thought was that she had scrubbed her social media before the escape to avoid accidentally tipping off investigators to her plans or where she might go or like to go or her network of friends etc. I think...

Who knows. The way they left the orange suv sitting on a road at a stop sign apparently and then the truck in daylight at a car wash with the keys in it? Neither made much sense. I'd have taken the SUV to a remote, off-site airport parking lot. Those lots tend to be packed with cars 24-7 and...

VW's mom seemed to think that Vicky had a lot of savings beyond the $90K she got for selling the house. Possible VW did not take all of the $90K with her initially and also had a stash of her savings somewhere beyond the house money. If VW brought all of it with her right away, and CW was...

It's a sad state of affairs that we have off-loaded mental health issues to our prisons. Numbers vary from study to study, but in male prisons they've studied they find anywhere from 40% to 60%+ of male prisoners have some sort of mental health diagnosis--some studies put it as high as 70% of...

These county lockups that house prisoners awaiting trials and court dates where they have to take inmates back and forth to court all day might order up a grip of AirTags or ankle monitors. Some sort of electronic device that if removed would sound an alarm and if the device travels anywhere...

My guess is VW smuggled a cell phone in for CW to use to talk to her. Common in prisons for prisoners to get cell phones smuggled in, even prisoners who aren't dating a guard find ways of getting cell phones. Unless there's an outside the state agency investigation, I doubt we will hear much...

1. VW would have contributed 8.5% of her CO salary each paycheck to her state pension 2. VW's state pension vested after 10 years of service. Once you have 10 years of service, you are eligible to begin collecting retirement benefits at age 60. The amount of those benefits will depend on...

Imagine trying to do a police lineup with CW? where you gonna find 5 other 6'9"<modsnip> guys in small town Alabama. Probably they'd have to throw him in with a bunch of six foot tall guys. "Do you recognize the perp?" "Well, it's a close call, but I'm pretty sure he's the one that's a foot...

That's interesting as far as what happens with the cash, vehicles, guns. Since the property is in Indiana I think Indiana would have to seize it? Or possibly the Feds. But if they aren't charging him with a crime and they can't charge VW with a crime, then due to recent changes in Indiana law...

Life insurance not covering suicide is one of those persistent semi-myths. Privately purchased life insurance for a large payout will usually have a suicide provision that allows the insurance company to decline the claim if the covered individual commits suicide within the first year or two of...

CW does seem like an unlikely candidate to be a hitman. Not so much he wouldn't kill for money, but he stands out and if spotted near the crime scene would be easy to describe. Plus would you want that monster having something like you paid him to kill someone to hold over you and possibly...

I don't think they were ever in Illinois.

I think it was 6 hours from when they exited the jail to when ol' Sheriff Singleton finally realized he was missing an inmate and deputy and he raised the alarm. So likely at the time they made the truck purchase no one was even looking for them.

Dunno the exact sequence, but once the Marshals flipped their car up on its side, that plan went out the window--perhaps literally, if his gun fell out of his hand and out the window. They had 4 handguns in the car, so it makes sense that they would each have their own for purposes of the...

Not even a real Motel 6, an independent motel that had lost or given up its Motel 6 franchise license.

The quicker he gets back to Alabama, the quicker he can start working on his next escape plan.

And a 10 year sentence works out to just over 3 years of actual time served under Alabama's generous Good Time law: And VW being in corrections for a couple decades should have been well-aware of good time credits. Although they typically only kick in for prisoners in state penitentiaries...

Prison bloat--CW was in the SHU, locked down 23 hours a day with limited access to exercise or the yard. Even prisoners in gen pop bloat up, especially if they eat a lot of the crap they sell em in commissary and aren't lifting weights or whatever. Probably CW eating ramen noodles and velveeta...
