This is super interesting testimony. I didn't want to comment on it until I could see the whole MNews article, which took me a long time, as it was paywalling me and the app was not displaying this article. For anyone else having issues, this cached link worked for me, and should work until Google crawls it again.

I'm going to find my last timeline and add this in.
What strikes me the most aside from the obvious contradiction of his truck breakdown story:
1) Capobianco was not setting up the alibi he eventually used on either Sunday or Monday, at least not with the Kaisers. He did not admit to having seen Charli, when asked on Monday night.
2) On Tuesday morning, when he had already told MPD about seeing Charli Sunday night, an hour or so later he texted Kaiser he had NOT seen Charli.
At 7 or 8 the next morning, Feb. 11, 2014, Kaiser said he learned Scott was missing when he received text messages from Scott's sisters asking if he had seen her.
"I texted Steven to see if he knew or heard from her," Kaiser said. "He says he hasn't heard from her and she's probably fine."
What's up with that? Then as soon as he gets to work, when Brooke shows up (I think it was Brooke), he does tell his fake story and admits seeing Charli.
Why is he telling people who are all going to talk to each other stories that don't mesh at all?
3) our first report of Steven re Monday the 10th after work.
Between 3 and 4 p.m. On Monday, Feb. 10, 2014, the day after Capobianco said he last saw Scott, he showed up at the Makawao house where Kaiser and his parents lived to return Kurt Kaiser's backpack, Drew Kaiser said. After looking in Capobianco's truck, Kaiser said he found his cellphone, which he had also left in the truck when the brothers went to Kihei bars with Capobianco over the weekend.
Kaiser said he invited Capobianco to a gathering at Kaiser's sister's house later that evening, but he said he was busy.
Kaiser said he asked Capobianco if he had seen Scott "and he said he did not."
Kaiser said the visit took "10 minutes at the most," which he said was unusual.
"He usually would hang out," Kaiser said. "He was in a hurry that night."
Right after work he goes to Makawao, but he is in a hurry to go do something. Fits the theory of additional cleanup Monday night.
4) After they found the burned truck Wednesday, after SC does the phone interview with Mileka Lincoln Thursday morning and he says he is not really partaking in the searches, he is back out at Keanae "searching." This is after Kim told him not to show up at any more searches too. Then he takes off suddenly and fast as they decide to go to Peahi and search. To do what?
After work the afternoon of Feb. 13, 2014, Kaiser said he and his sister drove to Keanae, where family members and others, including Capobianco, were searching for Scott.As the sun was setting, Kaiser said he and others decided to go to the "Jaws" surf spot in Peahi to search. "We were all in a group on the side of the road talking," Kaiser said, when Capobianco left.
"He left before all of us, and he went real quick, really fast," Kaiser said.
He said it was dark when he and his sister reached "Jaws," where police had blocked off the road after finding Scott's burned Toyota 4Runner. Kaiser said he called Capobianco and recalled him saying, "I didn't go. I'm at home already."
Note this is at sunset on Thursday, the exact same time that Phaedra, Max, Molly are packing up the evidence at Nua'ailua.

I am also wondering if Drew Kaiser's phone records tell us where Steven's truck was between Friday night in Kihei and the phone's return to Kaiser Monday night. No details on what kind of phone, how smart, whether it was turned on (seems likely). Did MPD get those records?
