I have a question -- probably mostly for those of you who feel, say, 75 percent convinced that SM is the perp, but anybody, feel free to comment.
Do you think that SM tried to break into Lauren's apartment on Thursday (or enter with a key)?
When I put on what someone the other day termed "guilty glasses", I think perhaps so. Then I wonder, at what time day/night was it?
I figure, if SM did not know that Lauren had a door jam, he might have been foiled by it. (For those who like to analyze the infamous interview in terms of possible signs of guilt: He does put some stress on the door jam being there, not in use, when the searching friends entered the apt.) That's why I asked the other day if anybody knew if it was the purely mechanical type or if it was the type that also had an audible alarm built in. I freely admit I first started thinking about that aspect of it while considering the MM story, because of the "loud noise" SM has apparently said he heard. (Still could transfer it to that line of thinking, but don't really feel comfortable going too far with that publicly at this point, as I agree MM may be totally innocent and if not try to trust that LE will follow on with any leads)
I figure that, in the event that SM, not knowing about any door jam, tried to enter the apartment Thurs. while Lauren was home with the door jam in place, then either (1) he thought she might be sleeping or otherwise unguarded, (2) if her car was in its usual spot, thought she had left the premises with someone else in their car or had gone out running, etc., and his plan, if any, was to lie in wait -- or, if there was no "plan" to hurt LG, to snoop, etc.
I figure, if he did this, with a plan to harm LG in mind and thinking she was home, and got rebuffed by the door jam, any "plan" might then have changed to entering the apt. while she was not there and lying in wait.
