I think to answer these questions, it is critical to know the time that footage was taken at the second gas station. I think a lot of what happened & the sequence of events relies critically on the time the car & IY were seen at the second gas station IMO. I posted a while back that I am really leaning towards a scenario where he introduced himself with some story about how he didn’t have his car - that gas station didn’t have what he wanted - etc. & asked for a ride to another gas station, she agreed - she could have felt pressured or he played the part well enough that she didn’t get a bad vibe, she took him there thinking it’s just right down here & I’ll bring him right back - it’s right by the apt, & things went downhill from there. That scenario explains a lot of things. 1) why her car left in the direction opposite her apt. 2) where some of the time in that hour went. 3) (in this scenario she would be the driver) why she didn’t leave him at the second gas station or run when he left the car. 4) could explain the “Eric” thing if that’s how he introduced himself at gas station 1.
That’s what I’m leaning towards. However, if that second gas station footage isn’t time stamped just shortly after 11:30, that gives time for someone else to enter the picture or for something else to have happened between gas station 1 & gas station 2. In which case, I wouldn’t think that’s how things went down... I also have another point as to why I don’t think she was shot before gas station 2. When this second “witness” - the one what told LE that IY showed up to their house with her car, in shorts, with the gun tucked in them - told LE what IY was wearing when they saw him (the shorts with the gun tucked in them)...that was after he shot her. One would think that he was dressed this way bc his other clothes had a lot of blood on them. I highly doubt that he would have walked in anywhere with blood on him or with just shorts with a gun tucked in them...that’s a sure fire way to get the cops called IMO.
