Did she normally arrive early? Could someone at work, either the guy who hit on her at work or someone else, have asked her the day before to come in early to help with a call to a place on a later time zone like Europe or India? <modsnip>

This seems possible. But it also occurs to me that if they've pulled off the abduction and left no evidence in her car, at that point it doesn't really matter where they put the car. There's no need to put it in the right spot.

All this makes me think the crime happened somewhere other than her apartment complex. She drove somewhere, was abducted, and the perp didn't want to leave the car at the true crime scene, so he left it in a random apartment complex at his first convenience, which may have been long after the...

We know this based on the dogs, right? I always wonder how accurate they are. They should have a handler with no knowledge of the case manage the dogs and interpret their signs. If the handler is someone who knows where the victim lives, the handler might send subconscious signs to the dog...

That's a good idea. I do not have a guess whether she went missing the previous night. When it comes to the car, though, your explanation is simpler than all the ones I thought of. I suspect usually criminals are thinking simply, not in complicated ruses. It's much simpler to think the car...

I am trying to make an exhaustive general list of possible reasons her car was moved. It seems like everything falls into subsets of a ruse or use in the crime. Ruse: Cast suspicion on someone else The perp hoped police would zero in on a specific person in that neighborhood, but the...

I do not think her b/f was involved, but I wonder out of curiosity how effective it is to watch a suspect as they search someone's car and possibly find a body. If they get overwrought on finding a body, it could be out of guilt or shock. If they are stoic, it could be because they don't care...

Do you think the police never even figured out the person the real perps were trying to incriminate? Or do you think figured it out but have no reason to release it? The disappeared show said it was an area where drug deals happened? Was it just your typical rough apartment complex or a...

When I lived in Tampa, FL, it seemed like towels could stay wet for a whole night and day in January. The average high in Jan is 70 degrees [21C]. Sometimes it's in the 70s and steamy, and you might turn the air on just to get rid of the humidity. It's possible the towel stayed wet all night.

What do you mean by "takes the trip"? Do you mean they went on to White Water water park?

This article paints a picture of a a "Kafkaesque dependency-led mafiadom", where low-level people know how to use their position to extort money out of people and how to stay out of the gov'ts way. A foreigner going there is taking a huge risk of falling into the corrupt machinery. There may...

My understanding is North Korea's in prison are typically abused and often die from the conditions. So if they gave him the treatment of a typical prisoner, it's possible he could come to this end. I really do not understand how North Korea works. They have this bizarre personality cult...

Yeah, Warmbier died in a secret prison at the hands of foreigners without even getting a fair trial. Will we ever see a cultural interchange program where Korean officials and attorneys visit Gitmo and CIA black sites to learn about US jurisprudence in a free society?

Maybe the North Korean gov't knew he was near death and saw no upside to keeping him in North Korean custody. If they saved him, they wouldn't get credit for it. There would be even more speculation they murdered him if he died. So it was in their interest to release him. Maybe there was...

He confessed that a church associated with his university, possibly acting with the CIA, offered to buy him a car for stealing the sign. That doesn't sound remotely true. It does like what a North Korean with only superficial knowledge of the US would think sounds plausible.

I remember talking to you a few years ago about this in the thread about obscene phone calls. Obscene Calls Seem Innocuous to Me Obscene phone calls were much more common in those days, not as suspicious as they would be today. I don't see why the perpetrators would monitor the house after...

If his sister and or mother knew who killed him, why would they play along with Frederic Bourdin? Assuming they were responsible for Nicholas' disappearance, they could have gone to Spain and said they were crestfallen when they talked to him and realized it wasn't him. I wonder if they were...

Is it possible the police did not tell any of the people they tested the results of the polygraph? If the perpetrator was among the 21 tested, saying they'd narrowed it down to one would put great pressure on him. He might flee, confess, admit he lied for reasons unrelated to the crime, admit...

Is any theory involving a trusted person or authority (police officer, gas leak investigation) incompatible with the idea one of them was wearing only underwear? No matter how urgent they described the peril, I can't imagine them not grabbing their clothes before fleeing.

BessDrew's post claims camera coverage of the public exits is not 100%. She says the cameras can pan such that people going through normal exits are out of the field of view. Have they confirmed the all public were covered that night?. If not, he could have left through a public exit outside...
