This alone screams guilty. Why else would someone want to "hide" that hard drive in this spot

Lucie Edwardson ‏@MetroLucie 50s50 seconds ago

Lees said in furnace room rafters he found a hard drive. Crown said in opening that hard drive had 200 GB research #Garland did for crime

The hard drive is dated 2005.

Const. Lees found second envelope with cash in it. He didn't count it. #Garland

IMO
I bet this was get-away cash to run from the law in case he had to make a quick get away.

The thing about that theory though is why didnt he run. He knew he was being suspected of things and he had a chance to leave the area. Maybe he thought his cleanup skills were good enough to beat the law.

Wondering too why LE did not count the cash. I think it is standard practice that LE would need to count it to itemize it. Maybe that happened later.

Is it possible that he probably dressed up as a woman and went to the estate sale and took the fob and perhaps other items with him.? When the original pictures of his truck were released to the media weren't they taken during the day and described as a truck seen in the area numerous times? Maybe I'm misinformed...

I think DG would have been pretty obvious if he attended the estate sale as a woman .... JMO .... his features aren't exactly feminine
