bolded by me
What I can't make sense of is if they had a flip phone and used a payphone then why incriminate themselves by using Heather's phone for her last phone calls to Sidney ( a 4 minute call from her apartment parking lot and several calls from PTL? Those calls drew attention on Sidney and that is why detectives showed up at his home the next day.
I haven’t posted in years but this conviction gives me hope again... The testimony from defense witnesses gives the prosecution even more to work with for future cases , plural, IMO.
RE phones : Why ? Bottom line is, TM REALLY wanted this to happen & convinced herself she could explain the calls away . Here’s how,IMO:
HE was not expected at work the next day, her room mate would be out of town for weeks & she had JUST been dropped off by a guy she went on a first date with. That’s when the payphone call was made . IMO they expected HE to agree to meet w/SM right away . She didn’t & it blew up their original plan.
Somehow,again IMO, they knew about these events & thought it would take longer for HE to be reported missing.
When HE started returning calls,I think TM convinced herself incoming calls could be explained away as HE trying to get SM back, so they finally answered . Maybe they even convinced themselves that it would work to their advantage >>she must have been depressed because SM wouldn’t agree to see her & she 1) left town 2.)committed suicide 3)the new guy got angry she was calling SM & he hurt her.
The call HE made to BW changed everything & exposed SM . TM WAS NOT COUNTING ON THAT!
After that it was connect the dots for LE. TM is genuinely angry that people don’t believe her lies over the truth from HE’s friend .
IIRC , there were no hits by a cadaver dog at the landing or in the truck (???) & the time period is so short to kill & clean up a site, that I think HE was alive when she left the landing. I think more people /vehicles were involved in whatever happened after that.
I’m not allowed to point fingers , but I don’t think I need to . From the trial , it’s kind of obvious who TM shared her affinity for acts of humiliation & revenge with .
**All just my own opinion & pure speculation .**
The Elvis’ life will never be the same , they will always hurt . The VERY LEAST that needs to happen is for those involved be brought to full justice .
