Yes, seems from the jail calls that he didn’t know she was going to drive by. imo, they weren’t clear to LR and SG to call after they left the scene. ( to say it was “done”).
I don’t think so, bc if you remember, LR was very aware of Dan being with the kids during the June attempt.
They waited to call because they kept their phones off from the time they were at the gym until 12:30 when they were safely out of the Tallahassee area, (presumably so their location couldn’t be determined during the exact time of the murder). The records show that as soon as they powered their phones back up Sig called. But Katie and Charlie might not have known they were going to do that.
If he was suddenly going to pick up the kids, it would give them less time, theoretically, to complete the murder, and the need to get it done would have become more urgent, perhaps. We don’t know who knew what about the first attempt and why it was scrapped.
I’m pretty sure she knew the time would be 11:00 (the Jeffrey leaving town time).It could also be that she was using being upset about DM taking the swimming to explain the 18 min.conversation. Previously she said she was talking to him about whether to fix the unfixable TV or buy a new one,
Luis Rivera, on the stand explained why the first attempt failed.he said Dan was in the car with the kids/was with the kids. Or perhaps it was when he was with Isom /Sanford. Regardless, he did mention it.
Maybe. They all needed to know what happened. They had to be going crazy in their minds wondering what happened, especially by 12:00-12:30 ..so long after.
We don't know what, if anything, Wendi knew about LR's thoughts about the kids. I still maintain that if WA knew about the hit, then she was probably upset that the kids could be in the line of fire with a 3 pm pick up by Dan. JMO.
t’s going on? On knock or call a neighbor and say why are all the cars here? Agree about turning the phone off. What time was that? Did she do any earlier drive by based on expected timing? How long was it off?
I agree, he seemed self-assured and composed. But yeah his responses to GC's questions were laughable. WA was terrible on the stand.
Totally agree with your first point. What a devoted mother, not. To be more specific about the ringer (sorry) she says something to the effect that she didn’t hear Danny’s call (text) that morning because she often turns the ringer to her phone off. I’ll bet that another investigator, woman/mom or man/dad, might have said you do that why? What if the daycare or father of your kids needed to reach you asap? That just seems implausible to me.
Well, seems that Wendi would know why the first attempt didn’t happen, right?
Perhaps. But she also knows that Dan is leaving the next day and maybe the hitmen won’t be so patient this time.
I’m pretty sure they saw Dan with his kids in the car a day or two before they drove back.they were there a couple of days. I’m too tired right now to find his trial testimony about it.Below is the reason the first attempt failed according to the State. I don't know what SG/LR told KM about the reason for the failure, and I don't know what KM passed along to CA about it. Does anyone know what KM told CA about it? TIA.
"Prosecutors say the June trip was cut short when a Miami rental car company found out Garcia and Rivera were in Tallahassee. The car was rented for local use only. Chief Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman said the company pinged the GPS on the car and Rivera and Garcia immediately turned around and headed back to Miami."
Evidence points to earlier Markel murder attempt
Prosecutors say Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera were thwarted in an earlier attempt to execute Dan Markel in Tallahassee the month before he was finally slain.www.tallahassee.com
Or just making an excuse for her long phone call with Charlie.,
