No offense, but MassGuy also said he had it on good authority that the $118 was the total and then Leigh released the rest of the receipt showing the total was above $200. Many people here have pointed out that rental car companies have streamlined their pickup/drop off practices to include a step where the customer & rental car agent both have to check the mileage and damage to the car and sign off on it. Since we know she drove 300+ miles for the tank to be empty, I consider it a fatal error to dismiss the 955 until we know for sure.
I’m SO sorry for the novel... letting the brain run while baking.
Hi Doc! We seem to think alike!
IMHO MOO, responding to the last 20pgs... I absolutely think it IS possible that she could: handle a ‘gruesome scene’, completely disappear & drive over 900mi in 28hrs based on the evidence we’ve seen thus far. (She could’ve ended up only 200mi away from frantically driving around for hours+hours looking for a discreet area while her brain is ‘on fire’. Plus she knew not to take her cell Mon so.... and gas: given the, yep as it just so happens, NEW car’s gas mileage, leaving with what seems to be a full tank & returning it with an empty tank, I’d say she stopped for 1 maybe 2 fillups with cash.)
Hypothetically, if anyone who knew LS was asked 2mos ago if they thought she could commit a heinous crime, for example causing the death of a child, regardless of how difficult a person she was, I’m sure most would say “never!”.
I use this as an example that the unthinkable can & does happen.
How someone reacts & what they’d be capable of when (possibly) still in shock of their own vile act and starting to be faced with the fact their life as they know could end very, very soon has been demonstrated 1,000’s of times & we’ve all been reading about them right here: people backed into a corner can & will do insane disgusting things in order to protect their freedom.
This event seemed to transpire just over 12hrs after Gannon was 1st reported as a runaway. The case seemed to be handed to investigators Tues, they were talking to everyone, gathering footage, etc. IMO they weren’t officially scrutinizing anyone in particular but maybe they wanted to talk to her again but couldn’t find her which could partially explain a ‘confrontation’ in public??
The fact that there appears to be an official receipt from a national, reputable car rental company with very specific information including name, dates, times and yes, odometer readings to the very person we are sleuthing, IMO should absolutely be taken seriously as a piece of evidence until proven otherwise. Not to mention provided by this very person.
I’ve rented approx 50 cars all over the place & I have never once seen an estimation or an error when documenting odometer readings.
I could have this all wrong, it’s just what I’m ‘working with’. Finding sweet Gannon & then achieving justice for him is of the upmost importance... the crazy 955mi trip just may help find him... or not.
IMO MOO
