Yes, a wonderful link to some outstanding photo's.
The photo's show just how tall that fence really is, and how anyone would look short next to it.
Mystery: I agree that the POI parking his transportation before going to Mosiac, and under the cover of darkness is a possibility.
RD: I also had questions about the seconds on the photo's, and it is basically a simple timing thing.
The camera takes photo's every second, and there is a running clock incorporated into the system. To illustrate this, go to the Orlando Sentinel site, and hit on their enhanced photo's of the POI parking the car. AS the POI walks past the poolgate, just hit "pause" on the link, and you will see that it depends upon "when" you hit "pause" as to the seconds.
In other words, when the photo's were made, they were probably made using that tape, and made at different times. One tech. stopped the tape at a fraction of a second before the clock read .28, while the other tech. had waited until it read .28. The next photo comes up "before" the clock turns to the next second, so, this is probably the most likely explanation. IF the photo's coincided with the second clock, and the next photo came up at exactly 28 seconds, then there would be a problem. But, this is not the case. The "next" photo comes up before the second hand hits .28, probably at 27.8 or 27.9, so, it all depends on when the tape was stopped, and the photo was made. imo
As for the "shortcut" of the POI. LE is talking about a shortcut at the property of Mosaic, according to my understanding. I think LE said the POI passed the main entrance, and the long walk, and simply hopped a fence, that surrouds Mosaic. I've never been there, but, have seen the long driveway in photo's, and I think the POI wanted to avoid the guardbooth, and used a shortcut of jumping a fence, to save time and walking distance.
Hence, the term "shortcut" doesn't apply to HOTG, but when the POI arrived at Mosaic.
Given this, it is obvious to me, that the POI is much more familiar with Mosaic, than HOTG, especially since he didn't know about CCTV.
Whether one trusts the dogs or not, I find it quite odd of all the places to go, the dog chose to take a route to Mosaic, avoid the driveway, and lead the handler to a fence, and then the dog was able to pick up the scent that led to Jk's parking lot area. It seems more than a coincidence.
Also, I wouldn't rule out the POI parking his car at HOTG, before the crime, and coming back to retrieve it. I'll admit, the other scenario is more likely.
But, if it was your plan, you wouldn't want to park right next to your car, since, you wouldn't want someone to see you exit one car, and get into another. Also, any perp. knows that LE is going to ask witnesses if they remember any foreign cars in the area, and parking JK's car next to your own car, would not be a good idea. imo
RD brought up a good point. Where are the photo's from the other camera on the opposite side of the poolhouse roof? Isn't there a camera there pointing at the other poolgate?
Also, I agree that walking through the parking lot is just as safe, if not safer than cutting through HOTG. first of all, how do we know that he even knew that walkway went the distance of HOTG? Plus, there is a chance of running into someone on foot. I'd much rather have a car pass by, than a person on foot who would get a much better look.
Plus, we havn't seen the poolgate photo's before the POI walked past them. Did the POI drive past the poolgate on the way to parking, or did the POI enter HOTG from Texas?
IT sure did seem like the POI knew where he was going when he exited that car. Makes me wonder if he drove in past the poolgate or not.
Some excellent points.
I think we "all" need to keep the options open on this one. I think it is premature to conclude the dog is wrong, or that the POI didn't park at HOTG before the crime, or that the POI wasn't wearing a LE uniform.
I think all of these are feasible, and good ideas.
