I don’t believe Wendi said she went to the family home in Coral Springs after the murder just that she went to the family home. I believe they lived in the apartment Charlie rented for them. Jeff said she was cleaning out her childhood room just before the murder. We have seen a lease signed by Harvey in May for a condo in the Continuum, which suggests that he either rented a second place for himself there (why?) or that he took over Charlie’s lease at that time.The phone location at the time of the drop off, has to be kept secret until DA’s trial. It was too important to reveal at CA’s trial.
She is in hot water if she left from the family home.
I’d think since Wendi admitted she went from Tallahassee to the family home, even though it was Friday, and her parents may have usually been at the S Beach Condo, they were at home before the $ drop. And if so, they would not be passing Charlies house by any stretch of the imagination!
Do a map search.
Side Note: I’m assuming that when Wendi said Charlie “got them” an apartment, she meant that Charlie was the one who leased it for them. It is my belief that Charlie had rented a place in the Continuum before the murder that he shared with them. There was a text message shown at Charlie’s trial from Donna in June asking Charlie if he wanted to “use the apartment” that weekend. The May lease for Harvey is strange to me, because it doesn’t make sense to me that Harvey would need to lease a place in May if Charlie already had one they were sharing. I believe there could possibly be two apartments, the original one Charlie rented and a second one leased by Harvey in May. If this is the case, it could be suggestive, to me, of premeditation. I hope the state is looking into exactly who first rented in the Continuum, and, if Charlie was the one who originally rented a place for them there, whether the May lease is for a SECOND place? And which of these two places might Wendi have possibly lived in with the boys and her parents after the murder? (It is possible that when Wendi said Charlie “got them” an apartment, she just meant that he found it for them, not that he rented it himself, and that’s why Harvey’s name was on the May lease. It’s also possible Harvey simply took over the original lease from Charlie, and that’s why his name is on the May lease. Still, in my opinion, the timing of the May lease, whether for the same apartment or a second one, seems suspicious.)
Anyway, cell tower record evidence presented at Charlie’s trial places Donna near a tower close to Charlie’s house after the murder, at the time records also show she sent him a text that says “outside your house.” I think this is enough to show she was outside his house that evening after she had heard about the murder from Wendi and began driving to Tallahassee. While arguably it might be more damning if the state could show she left from Coral Springs and backtracked, I don’t think it’s necessary. In my opinion there is enough evidence that she stopped by Charlie’s house and waited for him there to suggest that she was possibly doing the money drop, because what other reason would she have to stop by?
