Here’s my thoughts tonight as I think about HE and pray for her family and for justice to finally be served.
HE’s roommate is away, so maybe when HE talks to SM during the pay phone call she tells him to come over to her place. She would have never told B (roommate) that. SM must know by then that she thinks she’s pregnant. He uses the test as a ruse, hey let’s meet up I’ll go get the test. If it’s positive I’ll leave my wife or some nonsense. Again if she is hiding or ashamed of the pregnancy she might not tell B (roommate) that part. Maybe he tells her ok pick me up at Long Beards, I don’t want my truck seen at your place. So she goes to Long Beards to get him. On the way there she’s trying to call him. Maybe she thinks the pay phone # is his new #. A secret phone the wife doesn’t know about.
She’s waiting at Long Beards, he’s not there yet and he doesn’t answer the pay phone # so she starts back towards home, then she changes her mind and goes back to Long Beards, worried she will miss him.
Maybe he’s just late...she gets back there and he still isn’t there so she tries the pay phone # two more times.
This is where one of them is at home or AC is at the house and turns SM’s cell phone on so that it pings at the house. I feel like their plan was 3am.
The last attempt to call the pay phone is around 3:05, remember SM’s phone goes on around 3:03. She’s at Long Beards from 3:02-3:15. That leaves 10 minutes from the 3:05 last pay phone call till the phone leaves Long Beards and again heads to her place.
A lot could happen in ten minutes. Maybe SM gets her to go into Long Beards to take the test. Remember he mentions something in his interview about going in the restaurants that late after hours. Some managers allow it some don’t...Usually when people lie they inject the truth somewhere...
Something happened during those ten minutes at Long Beards. Her phone leaves Long Beards at 3:16
During this drive HE or in my opinion someone else calls SM’s cell for the first time all night. 3:17-:322 The call lasts 4 mins. I believe it’s the M’s discussing what happened and where to meet to be picked up. If HE was going to call his phone at 3:17 why didn’t she try any of the other times. This call to SM’s phone after it’s conveniently powered has always stuck out to me.
Her car (phone) is at the house for two minutes of that call. Something spooked them about meeting at her place. Or maybe they took too long. They had to get home to secure the kids alibi. They change plans and decide to meet at PT landing it’s closer to the house and darker.
Notice no cell activity at all from HE’s phone during that drive from her place to PT landing!!!
Those last successive calls to SM’s phone is someone panicking like hurry up and come get me...the truck is seen coming so the calls stop. HE’s phone is powered down sometime after getting into the truck. Hence the potential
Waccamaw forest ping.
HE was in the car, somewhere. Possibly just incapacitated. At PT landing she was switched to the truck tool box and taken back to their house. They can now both be seen at home to bring the kids home.
There is some testimony or report somewhere that he goes back out to “feed the dogs” bumps into Mr C at like 5am or something. I think this is when he cleans up just enough. Places her somewhere...??
Just my thoughts...
