This is a great question....what was it that raven said to make them look at that vehicle again???
My theory on this has always been -
-Janet was murdered late Tuesday night.
-Presumably LE questioned Raven some that night, overnight and into Wednesday.
-As I recall, he was also questioned again on Thursday, after which the second warrant for the Durango was obtained.
I think during the Thursday questioning, Raven provided detail on his "alibi" for the evening. When he played soccer, times, where he played, etc. And, perhaps at some point he also said, "On the way to play soccer, I stopped and bought Gatorade," or, "On the way home from soccer, I stopped and bought Gatorade." And, perhaps more importantly, perhaps LE wanted to check out Raven's version of events for that evening - IF what Rooster said was true, that Raven deposited blood on the EXTERIOR of the Durango, as it was locked, and IF in Raven's story to LE he says he NEVER WENT INSIDE THE DURANGO, then LE might very well want to attempt to verify that story by reconciling it with physical evidence from the Durango itself.
These statements alone could very well have led LE to think they needed to take a closer look at the Durango.
Remember, on that first night, LE took swabbings from the EXTERIOR of the Durango, from the driver's door and window, and, they went inside the Durango and took the Bearclaw knife and the pawn ticket.
On the second warrant, they physically TOOK the Durango, and did a much more thorough investigation, ie., they took the Gatorade bottle, they did scientific testing INSIDE the Durango, swabbings, dirt samples from the undercarriage, etc. All of these things could very well go towards checking the soccer story, checking the Gatorade story if Raven did mention it, and checking Raven's version of events prior to calling 911.
Keeping in mind, if Raven says he never went inside the Durango, and if even one drop of Janet's blood was found inside the Durango - well, something there just wouldn't jive, IMO....
