That is fair! And you are correct, they did not say Car 1, Car 2, Car 3. Just "another car pulls in."This is just a general statement and not directed at you, theides. But I'm going to be pedantic and I rarely defend journalists but I don't think the initial reporter's report was incorrect either. I think they did always say "a car pulls in..." describing the scene. Imagine you are outside my office looking in the window. The curtains are drawn and you just see a silhouette. Every 10 minutes I walk past the window and all you can see is a shadow. You might count 10 times you saw the shadow at the window and say, "10 people walked in and out of Alethea's office last night." If you asked my secretary, who is inside in the light, she would say "I saw Alethea walk in and out of her office 10 times last night."
So I don't really think anything we've heard has been incorrect reporting. I think the reporters just recounted what they saw on the video, which is dark. If this reporter got confirmation from LE that there were only two cars, and car 1 did infact do a loop around the gas pumps, then that's what happened I guess.
I would like LE make a statement about this though. Hopefully we have some news soon.
I don't think that's the only conclusion that can be drawn. There are many possible scenarios provided Car 1 and Car 3 are the same, as James claims he heard from the police.If car 1 and 3 are the same, then we know exactly what happened that night. Danni and her friend disabled her GPS, she abandoned her phone, she drove into the water. End of story.
If DNV disabled the GPS, I believe it was done accidentally searching for her phone. If the wiring was unsecure, could that happen?If DNV or DW did disable the GPS then why?
Options:
1. DNV disables gps and decides to end it all. I find this highly unlikely. What a horrible way to go. I’d think there are far better options if the plan was to end it.
2. Her friend there disables it in a plan to do something to her. But he doesn’t because he goes back to the bar to find the phone, is out the rest of the night and returns his rental car late that night. His whereabouts are accounted for.
3. They disable it together. So DNV can steal it??? Why then end up in water?
What other reason could there be for disabling the gps??? Let’s say they did. I can’t find a reason that would make sense as to why.
I think it’s likely LE isn’t mentioning a third card but there is a third car. Not uncommon for LE to leave details undisclosed in an active investigation.
Moo
So from a search I found that you can disable a gps pretty easily by removing the battery or the device itself. So I don’t know? Just yank it out??If DNV disabled the GPS, I believe it was done accidentally searching for her phone. If the wiring was unsecure, could that happen?
If car 1 and 3 are the same, then we know exactly what happened that night. Danni and her friend disabled her GPS, she abandoned her phone, she drove into the water. End of story.
But could the disabling be done accidentally by just reaching around under the dashboard?So from a search I found that you can disable a gps pretty easily by removing the battery or the device itself. So I don’t know? Just yank it out??
11:07 for pulling in and 11:14 for pulling out ????. It has been so long ago.....mooDoes anyone recall what the time was for the last ping?

Perhaps they agreed to go back to Dublin and she didn’t follow when DE pulled out the first time. He circled back to see why she wasn’t following?If DW was car 1 and car 3 why would he have pulled out just to pull right back in?? That makes no sense at all. I think there was a 3rd car involved period
This is what makes the most sense in my headPerhaps they agreed to go back to Dublin and she didn’t follow when DE pulled out the first time. He circled back to see why she wasn’t following?
I’m a local and not new but thank you. I have not stayed updated on this case simply because from what I’ve seen MPD tends to do nothing until a body is found.I also think it's hard to be completely objective after seeing the circus of the past 9 months. This is not Danniella's mother or family. This is the family of her abusive ex. If you are new to the thread you may want to take a look at the past threads while we wait for an update from MPD.
I made the suggestion in the fb group months ago due to the large amounts of water in our area. I didn’t say she was drunk though.Wait a minute, did someone mention early on that she might have been so drunk that she drove into the water? I know that was discussed here, but now I'm curious about who first made the suggestion.
I would be interested in seeing how those numbers line up with the pings from the cars GPS. MPD has referred to the GPS and pings. So that means it only updates locations every so often and sometimes the pings can be off in their location placement and give more of a general area.Also the third car is speculated to be the first car that was seen driving g off.Just fyi if anyone was curious the time stamps on the surveillance video reported by NBC15 Exclusive: Surveillance video may show missing Mobile mother
11:05 2 cars pull into Shell Station (car 1 DW and car 2 DNV)
11:07 one car leaves (car 1 DW)
11:08 another car pulls in (car 3 mystery person)
11:24 both cars leave
That gives someone 16 minutes to disable the gps tracker on DNV's car
There is just no way that you can't see people out of the car(s) or make out how many people were there and generally what they are doing in the surveillance video. Oh I wish they would release it!!
Also JDT isn't DNV's mother in law. DNV and TT were not married (thank goodness), I know we had some discussion months ago about "well it's easier" (which was also JDT's justification for going by mother in law when she was finally called out on it) but I just don't want to give JDT that title that she so badly wanted to portray for the media early on. Ex-boyfriend's mom or JDT or baby's grandmother? JMO
