Sorry am very much behind so please forgive me if this is long since hashed and rehashed..
IMO the above excerpt from Det. Flores investigation report regarding Mimi Hall's statements is quite possibly the piece to the puzzle that I've been searching..
IMO this likely is the exact catalyst that many of us have been searching for as to what was the event that led to Travis' anger seen in his texts and emails that have served as the defense entire basis of characterizing him as abusive..
IMO it is likely the event that Mimi refers to in this above excerpt from the report.. Travis had caught Jopdi hacking into his accounts and confronted her about it the week prior to his death.. This is what Mimi tells us in this report.. The week prior is the time frame that the entire email and text msg exchange occurred with Travis very angry.. We also know per Mimi in the 911 call that Travis had told his stalker ex girlfriend the week prior that he never wanted to ever see her again..
It is exactly these events that Mimi speaks of that occurred the week prior to his murder.. And IMO it is these exact events which are the catalyst that led to Travis confronting Jodi, once and for all calling her out and stating exactly who and what she is..and its exactly the event that led to the anger seen in those emails and texts for which the defense has built Travis' entire abusive character around..
IMO its this event of Travis having caught Jodi once again hacking into his accounts that led to the confrontational messages which IMO led to Jodi at that point in time definitively drawing the line in the sand, so to speak, wrt her deciding for certain that Travis was going to die.. The messages exchanged on 5/26/08 that IMO stemmed directly from Travis catching Jodi hacking into his accounts is IMO the catalyst for which I've been searching... Those messages exchanged on 5/26 directly led to Jodi staging the break in two days later on 5/28 for which she secured one of the two murder weapons, the 25 semi auto handgun..that gun used one week later by Jodi in her carrying out the murder of Travis..
IMO his catching her once again hacking his ACCTS is what led to his calling her out in those electronic messages on 5/26.. Which he never had any idea would be the issue that was the deciding factor that would lead to her choosing to take his life...
Jmo, tho.
Exactly! I re-listened to Mimi's direct, cross, and re-direct today and here is where the hacked emails come into play (I think). Mimi testified that Travis asked her to go to Cancun with him
in the beginning of May. Juan asked her if she could remember specifically- she couldn't- she just knew it was in the first week or so.
She was immediately going to turn him down, but thought better of it when he told her that she would be staying with a family (they both knew) and that everything would be paid for- meals, activities, flights etc. She had already had the talk with Travis about only being friends and he had been good about it and wanted very much for them to work toward being good friends- she liked him and thought he was fun, and had fun when she was with him- she just wasn't interested in anything more.
So, she tells Travis she will think about it. She testified that 2-3 days later she told him yes, she would go. Juan asks her how she and Travis communicated during this time- she states by phone, text, and email.
About a week later she tells Travis (I could easily see there being some part of this communication in writing) that he really should take someone else with him- and he tells her (or writes?) THAT THERE IS NO ONE ELSE HE WANTS TO TAKE- so she agrees to go.
Boom! This is what she found out through the emails- I am certain. I have thought for a long time that the Cancun trip was NOT the catalyst- I have now changed my mind.
Jodi must have freaked when she saw the fantastic shape Travis was in physically- he looked good. He never tried to lose weight or get in shape for her. She knows what a horn dog he is and how sexual he can be AND she knew he wanted to marry Mimi. Cancun could potentially go along way to making that happen in Jodi's mind.
After all- Travis is to her- irresistible, why wouldn't he be to Mimi? He was going to woo Mimi in a very romantic, beautiful place (in Jodi's mind) and all of his PPL friends would love her too (the fine, born in to the church Mormon girl, graduated from BYU, great job at JP Morgan- all the things Jodi wasn't and would NEVER be).
Add to that- IF Jodi was originally on the ticket and HE CHANGED THE COMPANION FROM JODI TO MIMI- well, the plot was conjured and then set into motion. I have no problem believing Mimi was next. None, whatsoever!
