The idea that there was ANY discussion about paying for her bike is absurd. Like you're going to be riding your bike, get hit by a vehicle, GET ABDUCTED into that vehicle, and demand money for your bike?! Riiiight. She may well have been knocked out when he snatched her. All I'm sure of is that the moment she was abducted or conscious, she fought that monster with everything she had.
He is a lying sack of sh** serial killer and con man. He spent his previous time in prison filing appeals. Once he was out he was trying to get his sex offender status removed. That takes some real gall. He gave that BS story hoping, like he always has, that it would mitigate what was in store for him because he's a manipulator who thinks he can con his way though life. As with every sociopath, nothing is his fault. All of these creeps are the same.
