On the evening that Cassie disappeared she communicated to a friend that she was going out to buy smokes. Whether this was a random text or there was more to that exchange is something that is unclear to me. It would make more sense if the friend texted to say what's up?' and then CC followed with a reply. The friend (reportedly) commented that CC had been unusually quiet on the way home that evening.
Either or, it would not be necessary to change clothes in order to run out for a pack of cigs. Changing clothes would make more sense if one were going out to meet someone..imo
So maybe CC went out that evening to meet someone that was at least old enough to make the tobacco purchase for her and she planned on hanging out with that someone for a bit with every intention of returning home later that evening.
If the someone were a much older adult and people had already seen you together and were talking about it then secrecy might be in order. And maybe that is what she was quietly contemplating on the way home.
I think so. And I think that the someone coerced CC into meeting them secretly and (unknowing to CC) with ill intentions in mind...A Predator.
There is an adult male (that CC makes reference to) who chose to make postings on the morning of Sept.15, 2014 after three weeks of no activity. In those posts are references to CC. There are also references to friends which I interpret to mean drugs. There is also reference made to leaving town.
There are also two photographs the same adult male and each has a posting time but it is unclear at what time the photos were actually taken.
Of particular interest is the photograph posted at 6:21am Sept. 15, 2014. The adult male in the photo appears to have what I believe to be defensive wounds and other marks.
In studying the photo I see a long and (what appears to be) fresh and swollen scratch mark on the guys right lower bicep.
Also, I see what appears to be the imprint of a persons face in the man's chest and a reverse imprint in the chest hair on the man's right side.
After blowing up the photo it appears as though there are several bruises resembling finger tip marks around the man's left breast.
IMO these marks could have been made by someone struggling under the weight of the man as he held there head pressed against his chest with his right arm. The scratch on his right lower bicep would have been made by the other person's left hand as they tried to break the grip . And the bruising finger marks on the man's left breast would be the other person's right hand as they tried to push the weight up off or away from their face so they could breath.
As always JMO
