Neighbors reported they saw a car & a truck around 6pm at the house that Beverly was showing. Then around 7pm the neighbor said they noticed one of the vehicles was now backed into the driveway. My thinking is; if Beverly was conscious, she would have surely by this time felt like something was wrong and would not have stayed in the house allowing someone to go outside, get into a car, and then back it into the driveway. I think she was rendered unconscious or maybe even dead or barely alive when the person backed the car into the drive.
I realize that there has been no reports of anything at the house on Old River Rd that would indicate a struggle. But, a person can be strangled, punched, chloriformed or tazed to be made unconscious and it could be done without a struggle at all (it looked like the main level of the house was primarily tile.)
But, if he did back the vehicle in near 7pm, then what went on from 5:30 until 7pm. Maybe he got there between 5:45 & 6pm (time that the neighbors noted the vehicles at 6). He goes in with whoever else (the person in the silver, gray car) and goes through the motions of looking at the house as a potential buyer. Then after he became comfortable with his situation and made sure Beverly was alone ... then he did whatever to make her unconscious. Then put her in the trunk of the car, then left with her unconscious, but alive.
It was said that he made the appt to see that house two days before the appt... which is premeditation. I think he was planning some type of scam. I think it had to do with money. I know he didn't take her purse or her car, but, it just seems that AL's history has always been about the con, the scam, a thief. I don't know what kind of scam could have been done on a vacant house, but I think in his mind he had a plan. However, I don't think he knows what to do when Plan A goes wrong. I think his original plan went bad and he then went into "cover my a.." mode. And every thing from the time he left the Old River Rd house was a helter-skelter panic for him... no plan, no idea what to do except run, freak out & cover it up. JMO
