Apparently the doors were locked, but I assume the tow truck driver could get the door open to find out if the keys were inside. I think they just towed it, without the keys. But maybe they were inside.Good point about the keys.
I think the spray paint idea is very stupid.IMO, if she had intended the orange car to be a decoy, she would have bought it using her real name, not an alias.
Having a second (drab) escape vehicle stashed near the orange abandonment spot seemed possible at first, but it would have forced them into a specific escape route, when it seems wiser to leave options open to react to changing situations. Who knows if she would have thought like that though.
I think the paint job was abandoned either because they realized how attention-getting it would still be, or they didn't bring enough paint, etc. And maybe because something spooked them into needing to leave ASAP.
So I'm thinking they initially intended to keep going in the Edge, then eventually realized how unique/noticeable the color was, then stole a vehicle along the way, maybe shortly before deciding to pull off into a rural area to paint the Edge -- either to camoflauge it to abandon, or to camo it and maybe continue on with two vehicles.
Then when paint failed they simply left it. Hiding it would have been better for them -- even hiding in plain sight, such as parking it in a lot or in front of an apartment building where it could sit for a while before becoming obvious it didn't belong. Leaving it blocking the road seems like an "oh s#*&" moment when they felt they just needed to get out of there immediately, regardless of how poorly positioned the car was.
MOO
I dunno. Smart people use their intelligence for evil and go out blazing all the time. Hitler manipulated an entire country and orchestrated the systemic eradication of nearly an entire people group. Horrifically I might add. He applied his intelligence to the worst possible means because of his own delusions and ended up committing suicide to avoid being killed.She's not smart enough to have planned a safe future life for herself.
At 56, she appears to have possibly 20-25 more years of life ahead of her.
She hasn't really set herself up for good use of those years.
Yes! My background is in psychology and people at all places on the intellectual spectrum can suffer from mental illness or suffer a mental break.Maybe she is sick. Too bad HIPAA prevents us from finding out what doctor appointment she missed. As a matter of fact I actually don’t doubt her story that she wasn’t feeling well. She had the doctors appointment for a reason. MOO
Someone mentioned earlier maybe it was a “Plan B” in case she got caught same-day which is a good possibility outside my theory she had a severe health issue. MOO
Here's a link with interviews with county Dist Atty, Sheriff, former co-worker, inmate, etc... they knew Vicky. Maybe after watching it those with questions will have a better understanding of her and why some are surprised and some aren't about what is happening. https://twitter.com/search?q=vicky white&src=recent_search_click&f=live
I fixed my original link. Thank you for letting me knowThis link is just taking me to a random search for Vicky White on Twitter. Is there a specific interview to look for? Or am I doing something wrong? Could be the case!
Thanks in advance.
BBM What’s that expression? There is no fool like an old fool? I think it applies here. She was crazy in love. I think VW thought she’d met her soul mate. And maybe she has. At least when he is medicated. She wasn’t going to throw this last chance at love away. I bet she spent a lot of her alone time reading dime store romance novels aka bodice rippers.I would not be surprised if a health issue was the catalyst for this. It would explain everything.
Otherwise, she is just super dumb.
They would have left the keys though, if they wanted it stolen. I also think they may have left the keys if the car was disabled. For some reason they kept the keys (or threw them in the woods) and locked the doors. MOOI haven't seen this posited, but maybe the perps left the Ford to be stolen, and that's who tried spray painting it? Spray painting stolen cars is a regular occurrence in Seattle.

Oooh! Good question. There was a reporter video early on that interviewed a neighbor but only showed the neighbor’s shoes and pants not his face because the neighbor must not have wanted to appear on video. And in that video, I think they pan the camera over toward Pat Davis’ house and show a brown car that they say belongs to her. This was like 4 days ago though so I don’t have an immediate link even though I know it is in the threads somewhere.Have there been any articles mentioning what kind of car she drove regularly? Did she have her own vehicle or did she just drive the Trooper car? Did she sell her own vehicle?
If she was obsessed with him, as many women are prone to be with guys if they have unresolved issues, then it’s actually possible.If he wasn't the man mountain and dangerous dangerously crazy scary individual that he is one might wonder if he had no idea what she was doing and believed he was going to an evaluation. She is the one with the fire arm and the means. Say she became more infatuated with him than her her and he is still cuffed up and under her power etc. How likely would it be he would draw attention to himself given that he is out and knows he can definitely 'take her out' when he decides/opportunity arises.
What am I on about? ha. If this was the case and he had to escape her that would be utterly nuts.
Something like the film Misery.
The bigger question is what vehicle, if any, are they in now and how did they get from that rural location to wherever they are now? If they had supplies with them in the orange car, they would have had to transfer them to the other vehicle. Is that other vehicle the noisy truck the neighbor heard? Did she actually see the truck?

It's really difficult to spray paint a car well enough to make it look like real paint. It gets all over the lights and trim, or you don't get close enough to the trim and the rims of the underlying color clearly show through, unless you carefully mask it out with tape and paper. It even looks like the wheelwells are orange in the photo of the vehicle.
And green? Black, blue, or brown would have been a better choice.
There must be some hardware store that noticed a recent large purchase of dark green spray paint?
The doors might have locked automatically, that is the way my SUV is programmed. I haven't gone in and changed the programming since I bought it.They would have left the keys though, if they wanted it stolen. I also think they may have left the keys if the car was disabled. For some reason they kept the keys (or threw them in the woods) and locked the doors. MOO
