And there is also the notion that what FD believes is evidence may not be evidence to prove his innocence at all.
Agree. MOO there is something wrong with him that got worse over time.
MOO he was so committed to the plan working that he never let it go and kept referring to it in pieces.
The cell phones were in there right place, the employee would never think about the truck being used or not if it was in the place he left it, his friends said he was at home, he had a engineered a visit to the house on 5/22 to explain any of his DNA. She disappeared without a trace, had a psych eval that said she sometimes thought about self harm, his psych eval said he was perfect. No body, phone trail all good.
MOO Then reality, he hit her with something with all his force and she didn't go down. She fought, and he couldn't believe it. He was unable to clean it thoroughly. But he stuck to the plan. But the day went longer than it was supposed to and it was harder to concentrate on the details than he thought it would be so he made mistakes, like taking his phone in the Raptor to dispose of CS items and possibly JF.
Then the police had luck, some unexpected school bus footage surfaced from cams added in 2014 to get the people who pass stopped school busses got the Tacoma on video, the employee was suspicious about out being asked to change truck seats and kept the old ones. Hartford was going for broke to be a fully CCTV city and his activity on Albany was captured. Getting evidence from Albany was basically in the nick of time, because FD was right, all the trashes would be burned and the ashes cleaned out and all the evidence forever gone.
The final results of the MIRA search is not known. The police stopped the incinerator as soon as they were made aware of the footage, but it was already the following Friday, 7 days later. But they have dozens of items with her blood and blood like substances on them from this disposal trip.
Afterwards when he came under suspicion he just could not believe his plan of GG was not going to work. He kept at it and MOO died still clinging to it because NP said they might get the Albany search suppressed etc.
