Wow! You bring up so many good points. Not meant to be disrespectful Soulmagent, but it seems easier to reply to your many many points one at a time. Please forgive that I've cannibalized your outstanding observations. It's really hard to not sound awful doing it this way, but I'll still try to keep my replies short. Please read each with my friendly smile in your mind, even though they will be to the point.
JC could have heard anyone come in the door including BR ,
So true!
which since he was outside and did come into the house
Is there proof of this, beyond hearsay? I have read all the articles, and I can't even find a statement saying he was home. The closest I can find is "no one was in the room when she left", which is very open-ended.
makes it possible that JC could have "thought " it was Cassie
Absolutely!
coming in around the time she was texted "be home in a bit.
Do we yet know who actually sent that text?
That doesnt make it true.
It is true that assumptions do not equate to fact. However, they should be vetted just in case.
Cassie stuff is in her room which supports the Cassie come into the house.
This cannot be stated as fact. At this point, anyone could have put Cassie's belongings into the house. We haven't been able to locate a statement saying either BR or JC actually saw Cassie that night. We only heard a non-verifiable accusation that BR was there.
That is supporting HS reported statement.
TS reported all information on HSs behalf, as it was probably told to her. Should we trust a non-provable statement as proof of anything factual? I'm personally on the fence about this. Do you fully trust it?
In addition why would HS place BR in the carport if he wasnt there ? There isnt a logical reason for the accusation at all.
It is a super strange part of the mystery, for sure. It might be part of a way to convince others of something you want them to believe. Kind of a he said/she said wrench in the works. It certainly is a pivotal point in Cassie's disappearance. Has BR acknowledged he was there, or denied it? That would certainly help matters to know his point of view on this accusation.
So the cell phone text supports the timeline,and the reports of HS and TS and Cassie purse and overnight bag support the verison .
Kind of, kind of not. It seems hard to consider the texts as concrete evidence when we don't really know who sent them. HS and TS could as easily be lying as not. The only thing we know is JC said Cassie's bag and purse were in the house. We don't really know what time this was discovered, and by whom. That's also an important timeline we need answers to.
BR is the one who claims not to have seen Cassie get dropped off.
Can you provide a link to that statement? I can't find it. Thanks.
Yet we are offered nothing by way of explaination of her stuff being in her room by him. In my mind I can see where if he was covering for something that suddenly went wrong and he did see Cassie come into the house 2 details he might of forget would be 1) That HS saw him, and 2) Cassie had those items and other people knew she had them with her.
This is all a very sad possibility. It would be nice to hear from BR on this.
I dont like to get caught into one theory but in this case Cassie's first 15 steps after leaving TS's seem to point that they were into her room to drop her stuff,and two people saw her but only one will admit it.
I'm confused about this statement. What two people saw her? It seems safe to mention that it's all hearsay until it's proven Cassie was actually dropped off at all.
I just cant get the way the whole He saw her walk to the door and the phone call BR made to TS , I am too stuck on that to even be able to consider a stranger abduction ,or run away case.
*sigh* If she ran away, we would actually be happy, right? No other scenario has a happy ending.

The calls made after BR supposedly saw her walk up...... yes, that is also super odd. It really is the best defense BR has that he actually did NOT see Cassie that night. It truly does not make sense that he'd make those calls if he knew she had come home. Such a mystery.
The car port is on the left? From what I am remembering in my head The front door is on the right side of the drive way and Cassie would have been on the right side on the vehicle or truck. the car port is on the left side of the house with the drive way leading all the way to it right? Anyone got a picture of the house and car port? I just want to make sure I have it correct.
There are some google earth images a few pages back, with discussion about where doors are located. That might be your best bet. However, be warned that after reading it you'll have even MORE questions. haha
