Remember when Arron said when asked "why Beverly" and he said because she was a rich broker? And in that edited prison interview, he said Beverly went willingly?
Thinking out loud... What if, when they met face to face, Beverly recognized Crystal Adams? (who is Crystal Lowery, who daughter and Beverly granddaughter attended same gym). IF that happened, is it possible that Beverly may have gone with them under false pretense? I personally do not believe it was a random~ chance meeting and that they didn't know one another. OR it could have depending on how the whole referral thing went about. Could have been surprise for all 3.... Probable that Beverly didn't know who she was actually meeting up with but its most likely Steven (Steveoh and Crystal) Crystal Adams knew who they were meeting. (again depending on the whole referral) Ransom ?.... Whatever their plans to make up names that were truly names used by both... (wonder where the Adams comes from
) which was another feather in the cap of LEO to have them as suspect from the beginning.
ETA: Arron also said, paraphrasing.. "we were already there" in his prison interview..... Could Beverly as i was thinking out loud did go with them not knowing she was being kidnapped...and when realized tried to escape thus "we were already there" and something happened to cause her death?
I am guessing now Crystal will have to give a deposition with the Pros Attorney for Arron's trial. This will help them build their case against Arron stronger and tweek it if needed. And for sure Arron's lawyer, will do a deposition too. They would be able to use that to impeach or use in Arron trial, if she backs out of her plea agreement. If she were, could use in her trial too. To be a Fly on the wall ....
I still think the actual death was due to something going wrong in the whole Kidnapping... jmho
