OK peeps, using Jersey Girl's timeline, which I corrected at the 3:01 point in the timeline (I think I'm right, but please correct me if I'm wrong!), I came up with the following scenario. It involves at least 3 people, though. I won't speculate about who that is, but I think there are more than enough people to choose from as possibilities.
Let me know what you think. My comments/scenarios are in red. Obviously
.
Nov 19: The M family left on a cross-country driving trip to Disneyland in California
Dec 4/5: Heather moved into the apartment with BW
Dec 11: The M family returned home from their trip to California [SM's cellphone has been off since just prior to returning from cross country driving trip to Disneyland]
What was discussed and decided between the Moorers on that trip that would make it so that SM's phone would not be in use upon their return? Was the intent to keep it off until well after the commission of the crime? Was it because they had reconciled and together decided his phone will remain off so he can't possibly have contact with HE? Was the plan to, then, at some point get him a new phone/new number?
At some point after returning home from vacation they catch wind that HE might be pregnant. Probably through the TK grapevine. Just like Heather was like, "why now?? I've just moved on!" they too had that reaction..."why now? We just got our marriage back on track! Now she might be pregnant! We must make this go away." So they disable the module in the truck so their movements in the days prior to event are not tracked. They also keep SM's phone off and dismantle the security system at home for the same reasons.
HEATHER'S PHONE ACTIVITY, December 18:
After the purchase of the pregnancy test and cigar (which I cannot work out/see where the use of either comes into play here), SM swings by where he's been told HE now lives to see if he can scope the area out, see what the parking lot is like, make sure he knows where it is so he can tell the person who's actually going to do this dirty work.
1:35am incoming call (payphone) 298 seconds
Heather doesn't know this is a pay phone and thinks it is SM's new phone number. He convinces her to meet him at LB "in an hour." Maybe he tells her he's working there. She's probably met him at some of his work places in the middle of the night before so this is logical. Maybe he told her about his new truck, maybe not, but he won't be driving it to meet her at LB, he tells her. He tells her what he will be driving. Or, does anyone he knows have a truck that looked like his old truck?
3 outgoing calls:
1:44 am (to Bri) 132 seconds
She tells Bri she's going to sleep on it, but really she has agreed to meet SM "in an hour."
1:53-2:09 am 10 posts to HE Tumblr
Passing Time
2:29 am (to payphone) 12 seconds -says that if someone answered it would have been short call
Heather changed her mind and is not going to meet him. Calls the number she thinks is his new number to tell him this, but no answer.
2:30:15 am (to payphone) 4.8 seconds
Same as above.
2:32 am to 2:41am phone is in motion
She decides to go to LB since she can't reach him to tell him she's not coming. She doesn't want him to think she's standing him up when he's just told her he wants to get back with her.
2:32:57 am Outgoing Call (to payphone) 13.8 seconds
She tries the pay phone (thinking it's his new phone) on the way to LB to once again try to reach him and tell him she's not coming. Still no answer so she proceeds to LB.
2:42:14 am -2:56 am phone is located at Long Beard's Restaurant (N, NE corner of parking lot by the dumpster) 14 minutes at location- made 4 outgoing calls:
2:43 am Outgoing to (payphone) 7.2 seconds
2:43:36 am Outgoing (to payphone) 7 something
2:45 am (outgoing to payphone) .2 seconds
2:51 am (outgoing to payphone) 4.8 seconds
All four of these outgoing calls were to try to find out why SM is not there, where is he, she's waiting for him. Again, she doesn't know she's calling a pay phone.
2:57-3:01:am No call activity during this time, phone only in motion, Long Beard's to HE's Apartment, turned around and went back towards Long Beard's)
Heather gave up on SM showing up or reaching him and decided to go home. She is still in charge of her phone now. She heads home, and for whatever reason (not sure it's important), she changes her mind (again!) and heads back to give SM one more chance to meet her at LB.
~3:00 am SM's phone is turned on. [It has been turned off since just prior to December 11 upon return from Disneyland]
Back at the compound, they are waiting for word that the job has been done. Who is waiting? TM? SM? Both? Someone else? I don't know, but they made sure his PHONE stayed home and on to "prove" it was pinging at home. At this point, they had no clue he'd been caught on camera at Walmart, at the pay phone, that HE had called BW, that Heather had called that payphone so many times.
3:01-3:15 am phone was located at LB
Heather has arrived back at LB to wait for SM again.
3:04 am Outgoing Call (to payphone) 1.8seconds
HE trying to reach SM again to see where the heck he is.
3:05 am Outgoing Call (to payphone)
Same as above. She's getting annoyed! But, finally "he" shows up in the vehicle he told her he'd be driving, but it is not the black truck. That truck is currently back at the compound. Two people are in this vehicle, they point a gun at HE, and one of them either takes her away in that vehicle or they strangle her to death there in the parking lot and toss her in the dumpster (and got lucky, and she's in a landfill somewhere).
3:16 am Phone in motion to apt -
This is in Heather's car, but Heather is not the driver.
2 Outgoing calls
3:16 am (to SM cell) 7.8 seconds Heather no longer in control of her phone.
Someone called from her phone and there was no answer, but it was not Heather. Maybe this person accidentally left their phone in the other vehicle and was like "Oh ****! I don't have a phone.....ok I guess I'll use Heather's.....yikes, this probably is not a good idea...." SM did not answer the first time because Heather wasn't supposed to be calling his phone! Damn it! Something went wrong.
3:17am (to SM cell) 249 seconds- 4 mins 9 seconds
Whichever one of them did not drive off with Heather (if she was taken) gets in Heather's car. After SM had found Heather's apartment earlier in the evening and told this driver where it was, they had decided to leave her car there to make it look like she disappeared from her apartment. So, the driver calls SM's phone, at home, and gives him/Tammy an update that it's done and they are on the way to the apartment. While still on the phone with SM, they arrive at the apartment (I didn't write these last two paragraphs very well....kinda out of order but hopefully you understand).
Phone was in parking lot 3:20 am -3:24am Phone was NOT in motion, located at apartment parking lot while on phone with SM cell.
Driver arrives at the complex. Sees it's a pretty nice complex and thinks there might be cameras, so maybe this is not such a good idea to leave the car here. Doesn't want to get caught on camera. Still on the phone with SM at this point, telling him (or TM) this. They think of a plan B. SM suggests PTL.
3:25-3:35 am Phone moved from Apt complex to PTL (no calls while in motion)
Driver is on the way to PTL as they just discussed.
3:36am: A security camera at a private residence 1.7 miles from the M home recorded a distinctive late-model Ford F150 coming from that direction and heading toward Peachtree Landing
SM or TM on the way to pick this person up from PTL (could be SM, could be TM, could be a third person)
3:37 am Phone located at PTL
4 outgoing calls to SM while phone at PTL -
all of these calls were from the driver anxious to be picked up. If this was not TM or SM, but a hired hand, maybe they were panicking that they didn't have the right place, or that SM was going to leave them stranded with the car of a missing woman.
3:38:14 am (1.8 seconds)
3:39:00 am (1.8 seconds)
3:39am: A security camera at a business D&S Siteworks 1.2 miles from Peachtree Landing recorded the Ford F150 heading toward the landing
3:39:46 am (1.8 seconds)
3:41:05 am (1.8 seconds)
3:42:27 am No further incoming or outgoing calls. No further location coordinates obtained.
SM or TM arrives and says, "You are using her phone!? Give me that!" Chucks it into the lake.
3:45am: The security camera at D&S Siteworks recorded the Ford F150 returning from the direction of Peachtree Landing
They all head back home or somewhere....
3:46am: The security camera at the same private residence recorded the Ford F150 returning from the direction of Peachtree Landing toward the M home
