A while back, there was this really creepy cryptic post on Help Find Hannah Graham facebook page or twitter about JM 'eating the fish that eat his victims' not in those words. It just sounded gross at the time. Facebook and twitter weirdness I tend to filter out. The sick depraved limited man that he was, it's hard to put anything past him. Then somebody related that point to when he was in Texas, he asked the fisherman why he was throwing the fish back in. He asked the fisherman for the fish, then went on to ask for a spare cooler.
Fishing cover and deep familiarity with the area, ties on roads west and south. He had ties to where Morgan Harrington was found and would maybe want to avoid those kinds of associations, but the place would still have to be close enough for him so he could say,' I was home at (?) and went to the football meeting. 'Helped the girl out and parted way.' He hadn't met Hannah Graham before the first video and by the second, he walking alongside her, (1:06 to 1:10ish). He would've said for his alibi' I dropped her on Wert and 14th, by her house' (1:20 am 'lost' text sent from around Tempo). He'd been through this before with Morgan Harrington. Things went wrong for him. Hannah Graham's guard may have been up still, as he promised her a ride, the kind of girl she is, with her brights on even watching others' "backs." He needed that drink to bring down her guard, so took the risk to go back to Tempo. He managed to get access to her phone somehow, sent the text and killed the phone. But whatever happened, his timing was off, the spiked drink (?) may have hit her harder than he expected, so he was around and to be seen by witnesses leaving with her (1:45ish). At that point he knew she couldn't be found. He knew it was key that he stay under the radar. The facts that he knew he'd been seen with her, that he had to get the drink to make it work, that he was unseen leaving town, how would that impact where he went?
