I went back and listened to all of MB's interviews and re-read the articles of his statements. Every single time he is asked what he saw he states that she got out of the blue car and got into the red car. (I think Jane Valez-Mitchell asked him that question at least 1,000 times, if not more :freakedout: )
I believe he is saying the same in the following statement, especially if you listen to him actually speak the words in the interview.
"I seen a girl get out of the car, you know she had a little ball cap on, looks like some glasses, a little pony tail. I seen her get out of the car. She actually got to the passenger side (maybe did something, maybe locked her door or something and) ah what was a red car looks like a little Kia or Honda Accent, it was red, 4 door, umm, it was a short guy driving, didn't have much hair, but it was a short guy driving. Like I said, I seen her willingly get into the car...."
MOO...Sounds to me like he threw the above bold part of the statement into the middle of the sentence about her going to the passenger side of the red car. (That is pretty much his manner of speaking throughout the above statement and throughout most of his interviews.) If you take the bold part of the statement out he states "she got to the passenger side of what was a red car." "Locking a car door" to me is using a remote and pushing a button, especially in a newer car. If he said anything about a purse I would definitely feel differently. Could I be wrong? Of course! Does it matter if it was his or her passenger side? At this point, probably not. I don't know. :dunno: My interpretation of what is in MSM is above and is MOO. If you called him and he told you she went to her passenger side then you are right and I am wrong; I am definitely not going to call the guy at home and ask him to clarify it for me though.
