I agree. I think it will turn up that the times given by the father were not accurate. Wonder if he actually showed up for work. JMO.
Neighbors saw her getting into her vehicle... in fact I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that her husband gave information about what time she left or where she was going. So time line information didn't come from her husband alone, if it came from him at all.
That's why I wonder if any neighbors are suspected...
If you see a neighbor leaving and remember it... you might be off on the time by an hour. But you are not likely to be off by 3 hours. Even with my crappy memory, I was/would be able to narrow it down more than that. There are things you do throughout your day that you can use to narrow it down.
"I was leaving for my own appointment which was at 11am, we left the house at 10am. So it would have been between 9:30am and 10am when I was loading the truck."
"It was before the mail came because I was checking to see if it was here.... I went out to check after we ate lunch at Noon."
"I was feeding the horses, so it was before 10am."
"It was just before I talked to my sister on the phone, which was after I watched my favorite show that is on at 11am."
"I was getting the package off the porch, let me look at the tracking to see what time it was delivered."
"It was just after the bus came around to pick up the kids."
"It was just after the garbage truck came by."
I actually had to do this many years ago when we had a unheard of homicide in our area. I had noticed the vehicle drive down our street, because it had a flat tire. I had to narrow down the time, I had no idea I hadn't looked at my phone. However, I had come home from an appointment and was leaving for work and it was between the two events. I was able to narrow it down within 15 minutes.
I am very observant though... but if the neighbors saw her leave I guess I just can't imagine that they were outside all day long doing the same thing with no frame of reference to narrow down the time line. :waitasec:
Maybe the police were wrong and it came from the husband all along...
