It sounds as if her was rolling around as he was trying to defend himself - he may have been on the ground and restricted by ties or blindfold so he had limited vision - the light may not have been on or maybe dim.
I think if she was there for some time - he would have known it was not a man.
I think the attack happened earlier in the meeting - if not almost as soon as she entered the room, it was game on.
If there had already been a paypal payment prior to her turning up, she would not have to worry about the formalities of payment first, play second.
If the light was off when she entered - or there was restricted vision - she may have said nothing - but motioned or manoeuvred him to lie face down...
I think she spent some time in the room after she had ade her attack - and I think she left DM for dead.
Just trying to get a scenario happening in my head.
I don't believe that's possible. He would have been able to overpower her, even with having a knife. They had to play for her to get him in cuffs.
I don't believe that's how it's done at a level higher than streetwalker. It's play first, pay later. There's no talking about the money or payment. I believe it's often just sitting in an envelope, and nobody looks at it or acknowledges the envelope is there.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I don't think that last phone call is proof of her staying there that long. She may have, but we really don't know for sure. I'm hoping we can find out when the coroner determined the TOD was and/or when LE saw her leave the room via the video cameras.
No. Not that day. When they were searching her emails, they eventually found a paypal email that connected her name to the email account. I read it as a paypal email via her buying something online with paypal.
I believe there were bruises and all sorts of other injuries. The document stated the injury list was not all inclusive.
Since he has been involved in this lifestyle for years (per link below), it's very unlikely he would handle the money this way. Furthermore, his being a lawyer makes it even more unlikely since neither side talks about the money in person because the other person could be an undercover police officer.
LE is claiming she stole cash. LE would have no way of knowing he had cash on him since it was gone when LE arrived. The only way LE would know DM had cash on him is if there were exchanges discussing cash. Also, it would be quite a waste of time for the suspect to go to a hotel to rob them without ensuring the victim had cash on him. Similar to as others have posted in this thread, I never have cash on me. I once withdrew a quarter from the bank because I didn't even have that to get a shopping cart from a store. Luckily for me, my bank was in the same shopping center as the store. LOL
