Sure, it happens that way sometimes. But here is why I don't believe it happened that way in this instance. Up until she pulled into Dale's complex, at 3:18 pm, Michelle had been texting and communicating with others, continuously. And then rather suddenly, all of that communication just stopped.
If we believe what Dale says, then she drove out of the complex at 3:28 pm.
So why did all of the communication with others stop so quickly? If she was just heading out to shop as Dale said, even though that contradicts what she had just told her sister, why wouldn't she text her family or bf and tell them her change of plans? The only way that would make sense would be if she had been taken really quickly after she left.
But then that pesky text to her brother comes up. Would a random carjacker
reply to a text from her brother in that way? And why would they wait so long to throw a cell off a bridge? Would they even do so if they were burglars? They could take the battery out of that phone and sell it.
And if that really was her texting her brother, then why didn't she communicate with her son who was home all alone? She routinely called him after school every day. Why not that day, if she was fine, and just going shopping?
The aftermath of the crime does not fit a random car jacking, imo. Her body would have been in the car or in a ditch somewhere nearby.
And how many woman have been randomly kidnapped in broad daylight in that town and never been seen again?
The problem is proof or proving
you can say well she never answered her phone which is odd and out of character, but I can say maybe she and dale had an argument. She was pissed and didn't want to answer. I think we've all been in that situation where a phone ringing makes you more mad. As to the one word text maybe she was still pissed and didn't want to answer, but she had had enough of it ringing and that's the most current one.
There are multiple scenarios for every situation.
and I don't know who keeps posting michelle and the hummer were not seen after driving to dale's condo, but msm reported the hummer being seen around 4:30. Has that been disproven?
