If my memory serves me correctly, I believe it was a deadbolt. I think Mr. Kesse installed it for her, but it was one you could just use once you were inside. Still, it should have prevented anyone from entering with a key once she was safely ensconced in her condo. I guess the chair would have been yet one more safety measure. Which all apparently failed?Some thoughts on your thoughts...
That's interesting about placing the chair under the doorknob. I would expect she had either a deadbolt or a doorchain. With a doorchain a door that was opened could be shoved insid the length of a chain, and the base of a doorchain is not nearly as sturdy as a deadbolt, hence the chair which would keep an opened door from being pushed in at all.
However, without the chair you would still have massive damage from pulling the doorchain out of the frame.
I know; believe it or not, I agree. Bringing the friend's phone really bothers me--especially if she didn't have a purse. That does certainly seem to indicate that she went out intending to mail it immediately.It's difficult to concieve of her going outside in heels and carrying the friend's phone as well as hers for any reason but going somewhere.
Well, there are a couple of points here--I believe her landline was in her bedroom. So, I'm pretty sure your suggestions are mostly correct in certain regards.Which brings us to being in bed. My guess is she was "in bed" most of the evening on the phone. unless someone who knows her well knows that she for example preferred to sit on a sofa, an easychair, or something while talking on the phone, my guess is she sat at the head of the bed and leaned back on pillows, etc. to relax.
I don't think she got into bed, pulled covers over her, call her bf and said good night, and went to sleep. I don't thnk she lied to her bf saying she was in bed. The people she talked to may shed light that makes that guess wrong, but that's what I envision.
However, that very last phone call was a routine, nightly occurrence between her and Rob. She called him every night around the same time to say good night; as she called (or texted) him every morning.
Another interesting thing about that phone call--could the perpetrator have known she made that call to Rob every night? If she had been taken before she made it, I bet no-one would have waited until morning to start searching for her.
Good points, as always. But if it was me, I would much rather sacrifice my lunch hour than go out to very risky neighborhoods to mail the dang thing after 10 o'clock at night. Heck, if it was me, I would have told my brother to drive his rear end up to my condo and pick it up, since he was the one who left it there cause he was the one using it. But I'm hateful like that.While she could have found a shipping place near work at lunchtime, it eats up a good portion of your lunch hour so to speak and can be very slow, especially when other people have the same idea. She could possibly just pick up and leave work any time to take care of it, but again not something you see very often.
I keep over-sharing my thoughts because I keep thinking sooner or later a viable theory based in some kind of workable logic will occur to me. Alas, that does not appear to be happening. Thank you for your tolerance.Thanks for your thoughts, Truth.
