IMO, FD did not involve EE as an [unwitting] accomplice in NC that day, because FD was trying to set up EE as a possible suspect (by using EEs red truck, and EE having the Raptor in NC that day). Thus, FD would not want EE to see FD in NC at all on the 24th. Otherwise, EE would serve as a witness placing FD in NC that day.
Likewise, I don’t think that FD used Sturbridge on the day of JDs disappearance, because EE was there working.
The loud noise there the next morning is certainly suspicious in some way.
IMO, I also do not think a body transfer took place on Lapham Rd where JDs Suburban was found. Other people going running at Waveny park there (I’ve parked there myself) and there would just be too much risk of exposure in loading a 120lb body, even if rolled in a rug or tarp, into the back of a pickup along there. I tend to think the same about Irwin Park but I’m not as familiar with Irwin as Waveny so maybe there are remote untrafficked places there, but FD would be taking a big risk during daylight hours in a public park. This was premeditated so I’m sure he thought through a plan with low risk of exposure.
Far safer in terms of exposure would be to load the body directly at Welles Lane. The position of JDs garage and neighboring houses makes it very unlikely that any camera would be pointing there. It is also possible that FD used the empty lot on the corner of Welles and Frogtown in his plan (at least as entry to the woods, following along the river to JDs backyard) and there is a pullout on Frogtown shortly before Welles where he might have parked the truck. NCCS is on the opposite side of Welles on Frogtown so JD would not have seen the truck there on her way home. From Google maps we know the “red truck EE” worked for Fore long before JD left and parked the red truck in back of 4JC, so JD could have potentially recognized the red pickup if it was somewhere along her way.
Any DNA evidence in the Suburban will obviously be key. I do think that moving the Suburban to Waveny was part of FDs premeditated plan and not a one-off, and I believe that FD is capable of pulling this off on his own, but he could also have involved accomplice(s) either willingly or only partially aware, IMO, given all the sleazy people we know he associates with. IMO the Suburban move was likely done with gloves on to avoid DNA evidence by whoever drove it. I’m not sure he’d need EE DNA to show up on the Suburban, in an “abduction at Waveny” Scenario. IMO the purpose of the Suburban at Waveny was to keep LE fixated on searching for JD in NC and keep them away from FDs properties like 80MS, etc.
This is all MOO and conjecture.
