It’s a different MO though. A trip to Iceland is presumably planned months in advance while directing his family to a weekend of AC fun could have been a more urgent matter. Anyway, we just don’t know enough of rhe facts. I guess it’s the lack of news from the investigation that really triggers speculation.
That and the fact that we don’t know for sure that the investigative house has been cleaned completely.
Driving:
My impression is V has a license- there was a media story about a neighbor who talked that milestone.
The depositions from the crashing season talk of Rex and his wife both driving on long trips. They don't mention V driving. But they don't mention her presence, either, IIRC.
I agree that it is very significant that the way to get to AC (a strange destination with children) is by driving. Yes, it's not down the block, but unlike booking a flight, departure time is flexible. As John Ray pointed out, the dates the hotel were paid for do not indicate presence in AC, although things like the liquor store purchase - which itself is a little strange in a mom and nearly teen trip, especially in the absence of any purchases that seem kid- focused- do indicate that someone over 21 was likely holding the credit card in AC on a particular date.
It would be possible to make the trip in cash- especially the departing trip, but the major bridges and tunnels had a lot of surveillance, especially after 9/11. Still, I don't know what information would be preserved at this point, or if it would be investigatively relevant.
House search:
I don't see anything else LE could do about this, but it does trouble me that Asa could have informed Rex of what was and was not found via statements and photos released during the "poor me, my house might contain evidence about multiple murders and just because of that I had to step aside almost two weeks then fix some things. It didn't help that I was getting an outpouring of support from neighbors and strangers- in the form of labor, food, gift cards, cash, and the even thoughtful, light gifts like comic books."
During the above kvetching through Macedonio, photos of the home were released to news outlets.
Those photos of the house could have been communication to Rex ahead of discovery. And possibly, Asa could have been unknowingly set up to help him in that way by being told to complain about the search for evidence.
MOO
