All that said, does anyone know how Neighbor MCD knew the email, sent from Lauren's computer, was to someone in Atlanta? Was Atlanta a part of the email address? or mentioned in the body of the message?
And below in response:

Thank you for you guys bringing up this detail again.. As the entire email including it's motive, receipient, and most of all it's all important discovery in Lauren's outbox of her email..
THESE IMO ARE ALL DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN LAUREN's MURDER AND WILL BE USED BY PROSECUTION IF AND WHEN THIS GOES TO TRIAL..
Just as SuperMom asks in her post, how does McD know that the person to whom the email was sent actually lived in Atlanta?? Was it labeled as To: lived in Atlanta??
I think most likely No, it did not have the recipient in the To: box as residing in Atlanta.. I think this is a great question that I certainly hope that investigator's were prepared as a question to McD in their interview processes that they had in the very beginning.. As it would have been very revealing IMO *to see exactly not only what he chose to answer but his demeanor more importantly would have been a clear indicator of nervous, possible grasping, and failure to be able to think quick on his toes(so to speak).. In my finding McD to be at best somewhat socially awkward(in NO way meaning a
Complete introvert or recluse loner)but rather exactly what I said socially awkward.. Not someone quick witted with verbal skills able to match wits with another(all jmo, tho).. I think it's not unheard of for me to believe that he was or would be awkward in a situation that would require quick, on one's toes type reactions or responses.. Therefor I truly believe a whole lot, an entire treasure trove of info could have been gleaned in those first hours of interviews with McD.. Especially if LE were equipped and well prepared with a sharp, quick thinking investigator to lead those interviews..
Back to the email and it's recipient being from or residing in Atlanta.. I know clkwrks stated the possibility of it being someone known to McD therefor from prior knowledge he would have known the recipient of the email lived in Atlanta.. While I would never rule that out a possibility.. I would not personally automatically assume that prior knowledge either..
One detail possibly indicative of just the opposite(as in McD Not being familiar with or knowing prior the email's recipient)was something he says during his on cam interview..
While McD makes certain to lay out in a great deal of detail the contents of the email and how this email was found.. Removing himself as the individual who directed the groups attn onto Lauren's laptop and suggestion to look thru her email for any possible clues(while no one is saying for certain either way of whose idea it was to open Lauren's laptop email acct and read thru emails.. Personally one of my top theories has this being done by McD as introducing the email as a possible way to find clues of where might Lauren be).. In the on cam interview McD states that it was someone other than himself that suggested viewing the email acct.. He completely omits, skips over, etc any other emails sent or received that night.. Zero mention but rather makes a direct beeline to THE EMAIL OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.. to which he goes into extreme intricate detail about..with overwhelming influence on a direct quote of "MACON HOODLUMS" and Lauren's absolute fear of being in her apt due to their having attempted a break in just 48 hours earlier(from time of email).. When asked to whom the email was sent.. McD cannot and does not recall the guys name... Doesn't even remember to who the email was sent.. Just can't think of it.. But instead barrels on into other important detail about the day and time it was sent and of course reiterating once again Lauren's fear of staying in her own apt due to the "MACON HOODLUMS" having attempted to break in.. He whines into the camera about why didn't Lauren come to me???
.." I could've helped somehow.. I could've given her my little handgun that I have for "defense".. *I was just right next door and heard some stuff but it was mostly just people walking by.."
He glosses over,skips by, or barrels thru to those details of importance to McD(IMO).. Clearly he does not know the person to who the email was sent.. IMO it's not someone he has prior knowledge of.. I believe that if it were infact a true person who did actually live in Atlanta that just as McD had zero problem numerous different times throughout his on cam interview literally rattling off complete names(first and last)of people involved in and around Lauren and is searching for Lauren.. Go back and listen.. With no effort whatsoever on multiple occasions throughout the interview McD clearly and accurately rattles off these names, multiple names, first and last names.. But the recipient is not recalled.. Cannot remember.. And totally forgotten what the guys name even was.. BUT KNOWS HE LIVES IN ATLANTA!!*
Let me ask a question.. Do you not believe that the moment that the email was found in Laurens outbox as having been sent on Saturday, 25th at 10:30pm and ESPECIALLY when the content of the email was read that clearly stated in clear cut words that Lauren was in fear in her own apt.. Stating that there had actually even been an attempted break in 2 days prior to Lauren's having been seen last.. Would you not agree that immediately upon reading this email that this group of friends(along with eventually LE when they received this evidence) would HAVE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THIS FRIEND, the email recipient, IN ATLANTA?????
WOULD NOT THOSE HAVE BEEN THEIR VERY FIRST INSTINCT?? especially as they all looked to one another and found that no one else knew of this fear or attempted break in... Wouldn't they have wanted to immediately have called this guy to learn what else Lauren possibly had told him.. Did she elaborate further when he called her worried and concerned after having received he email???.. Or if when he received the email and then called to check(and would he not have called his friend to check in on her after receiving an email stating her fear and the already attempted break in? IMO 100%OF COURSE HE WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY CALLED LAUREN).. so these friends searching for her certainly would want to know
If this guy had been able to get in touch with Lauren to check in after he received the alarming email!!! And if by the time he had received the email and attempted contacting her that he was unable to have ever reached Lauren to Check on her.. Would he not have pursued it further??? Yes, u know he would.. And I'm not saying immediately just run with it automatically expecting her to gave been murdered by these "MACON HOODLUMS" that had already attempted a break in.. But that he would have further pursued it in attempting to contact other friends or family of Lauren's just to verify that she was ok..*
IMO IF THIS MALE, EMAIL RECIPIENT THAT RESIDES IN ATLANTA DID TRULY EXIST THEN IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE BALL ROLLING TO DISCOVERING LAUREN WAS MISSING
WOULD HAVE BEGUN MUCH SOONER THAN IT DID.. just through the natural progression that would have occurred by this guy having simply reached out to check in on his gal pal, Lauren who had emailed him some pretty alarming details about her current living arrangment, alone.. Not in a frenzied panic!!! Nothing of the sort.. Just rather the natural progression that would have unfolded in his contacting his friend... Jmo, tho!!
IMO there is no email recipient!!!! This was all known very soon into this case(I'd say within mins of the friends having been made aware of this email's existence and in reading it's contents) and NO ONE KNOWING NOR ABLE TO LOCATE ANY CONTACT INFO WHATSOEVER BY ANYONE OF THE NAME OF THE EMAIL RECIPIENT!!!!! I think that atleast one of these friends had come to that conclusion soon thereafter having read the email.. These friends KNEW their friend, Lauren!!!! Lauren was a No Nonsense type girl, no shrinking violet by any means whatsoever, but rather extremely assertive and voiced easily concerns or issues as they might arise.. These friends KNEW THAT!!!! THEY KNEW THAT IF WHAT THAT EMAIL SAID WERE ACCURATE AND TRUE THAT LAUREN FIRST OF ALL WOULD NOT HAVE PLAYED AROUND, or played coy about LE.. But rather that she wouldn't have hesitated to report an attempted break in to her home.. She believed in the law and it's system how it worked.. She wouldn't have hesitated to immediately involve LE!!! But most important I THINK THESE FRIENDS KNEW THAT IF THOSE DETAILS WERE TRUE AND HAD OCCURRED THAT LAUREN WOULD HAVE, AT MINIMUM TOLD AT THE VERY LEAST ONE OF THESE CLOSE FRIENDS WITH WHOM SHE TRUSTED AND LIVED WITH LITERAL MILES OF.. they know that their friend would have done one or both of these two things at the very bare minimum.. That it did not add up, make sense, or even begin to be accurate that this friend, Lauren would have never have uttered word one of this fear or the attempted break in to not even one of these close knit friends who lived in the same community.. And instead in one single email she listed these details and fears and sent them to a male who supposedly lived in Atlanta that no one had ever even heard of or met and who did not after he having received the alarming email, he never even so much as called to check in on her or see was she ok???!!!
IMO these friends saw ALL OF THESE THINGS(and much more that we haven't a clue of).. And I think we will learn in the end that these friends were immediately honed in on these type details of which they could not make any sense of..
To sum it all up regarding the EMAIL... one of my top theories involving McD as the sole perpetrator of this crime theorizes that he, after-the-fact decided and prepared this email, as well as the email's recipient..(after-the-fact meaning after he had either already murdered Lauren or at the very least had her subdued).. I think it was an after thought to better help to distance himself from this crime by creating a "pre"-existing Element to the murder... Somewhat of an on-going crime already in it's process..by creating this attempted break in less than 48 hours prior to her being murdered and with who better than to identify her perpetrator than the very victim herself, Lauren.. By authoring an email as Lauren he has her id the perp as the "MACON HOODLUMS"..in using that term attempting to add further credence that Lauren was so familiar with these criminals behaviors that she even had a name for them, "MACON HOODLUMS".. he has Lauren not only Identify her perp, insinuate her familiarity with this criminal behavior with a labeled name, and establishes that Lauren was indeed fearful of there being further attempts or actual break ins and it was a concern that she had..the email *establishing that there was fear Preceding*Her murder...
Again all of these elements furthering distance and focus away from her next door neighbor and classmate, Stephen..
With this particular theory I believe those were his after-the-fact attempts at recreating a completely different crime and it's motive.. I believe that the emails purpose was to be discovered EXACTLY HOW IT WAS DISCOVERED!!! this info, these attempts of redirecting focus and blame were to not be opened and read, therefor discovered by a male friend in Atlanta.. McD knew there was no such person, therefor the
Info would never be received, read, and discovered in that manner.. But rather this info to deflect, redirect focus and blame, as well as recreate the actual motive and crime were to be discovered exactly as they were.. Found and read in Lauren's personal email outbox.. Time and dated stamped for June 25, Saturday, 10:30pm.. This was the exact manner in which McD successfully planned and executed that plan to reveal these all important details that were necessary to do the job that McD designed them to do(as detailed ^above^)
Once the friends were privy to these important "facts" of what were their friends very last words.. McD knew the email had served it's very specific and unique purpose and thus set in motion for investigators to then learn these all important last words of Lauren's as well..
I think McD was so damn elated how perfectly thus far how things were playing out.. Perfectly and exactly according to plan.. That when the opportunity showed itself for his to be interviewed by a reporter and on cam, no less..that just as we all witnessed McD extremely chatty, almost giddy like a kid, in telling and relaying what'd occurred thus far.. And finding it an added bonus to now have the opportunity to get those all important details of Lauren's last words in the email.. He now in extreme detail laid out to us, the public those details meant to deflect, redirect, etc away from anything McD..
Think about it... If McD did NOT At length and with great detail lay out to us, the public the contents of that email.. If he had NOT... we would never have known peep one of this email and it's contents.. McD hand delivered, on a silver platter the information that he felt would 110+% misdirect EVERYONE's focus away from him and onto the "MACON HOODLUMS"...
Sorry so long.. Just some of my thoughts and theories on this email containing "Lauren's" last words..
Of course as is always jmo, tho!!
