I've always thought somebody had to see something. Even if they didn't notice while she was missing I would think they would be trying to remember things now. What didn't seem important to them before may be significant to them now. Does anyone now if LE has been interviewing people since the arrest?
I just wonder how well they can zoom in. If they can zoom in really well, I have no doubt that there might be other eyes in the sky that did see this happen. Whether certain agencies would want to reveal where and how good those eyes in the sky are is another question. I did consider it, though, because I remember looking at satellite data trying to find MH370.
All very good points.
I don't know if anyone answered me yet, but I had asked the poster if this represented some sort of guilt on the killers side. I thought someone had said they had read about the body rarely being left face up. I hadn't heard this. I was wondering if it was associated with not wanting to see the victims eyes, feeling shame immediately after the killing or something like that. I think it was Kapua. Maybe she's gone. Left us to figure it out ourselves!
I was just responding to her post saying that a person isn't going to (or likely to, I don't remember which) block out a violent crime if they were just a witness to it. I know that for most of my life I had a tendency to even block out conversations about any kind of violent behavior I had experienced or witnessed. I really don't believe that CR is innocent, but I can't totally rule out that he doesn't actually remember the moments when the crimes were committed although I also believe that he knows he committed them even if he doesn't remember doing it. I could be way off with my beliefs, but I'm basing my beliefs on my own experiences. No, I never killed anyone, but under slightly different circumstances I can't swear that I never would have. MOO
Hind sight is so very 20/20. I've done this many times, not thought something was wrong or off. Then after the fact your gut starts putting puzzle pieces together. Those scary ah ha! moments....
I don't think he's the type to 'just pull up Google maps', especially under the circumstances you describe. He would be in 'major league panic' mode. Although, it seems he did when giving his statement to LE.Map Alert! MOO
LE said during the searches that pig farm was the location of MT's last digital signal. Could that comment have been referencing her Fitbit solely, which possibly ended up only a mile away at the cornfield?
LE's original map haunts me. The lower dot near 430th and 200 I've assumed was a digital signal happening on the way south from the upper red dot at 385 and 200. But why was LE interested in the TA truck stop? If solely for cameras, then why not the Pilot?
If you (and CR) look on google map, from the cornfield back to dairy farm, there are a few options for him to drive, most of which are highways/interstate. If he doesn't have a license, and just committed murder, wouldn't he maybe want to take a less traveled route? If he pulled up a google map, he'd see there are only two roads that go through to V18, which is the road he'd need to go north past TA truck stop and to 400th St where he lives. One is 460th, but the other is 430th.
I'm starting to wonder if the last Fitbit signal they got was near the cornfield, but they got cell hits near 430th and 200, and another near the TA truck stop. His route home, while in possession of her phone. (Each location is exactly 8 minutes apart, btw. I don't know how cell signals work, so that might not matter.)
Anyway, if he left cornfield at 8:28 and went straight home, that would put her cell ping at the TA somewhere around maybe 8:40 - 8:45 (give or take), but if he used time after 8:28 to cover her with corn leaves, maybe clean up somewhere, that would put him there later. Maybe he went through the car wash (Another ping perhaps? Do we know for sure the car wash was on there only because of the cameras? Not sure he would do this.) LE's original time frame was 5-10pm.
Maybe CR gets home around 9:45pm and shuts off the phone before another signal is picked up. LE asked LC if MT was in a house around 9:45pm because the trail went cold at that time?
We know for a fact CR uses google maps, so I highly suspect he used one to get home that night.
Does any of this make sense? Don't hate me for complicating things.
I am convinced more than ever that Rivera is a combination of a disorganized and organized killer. He left the body where it was yet attempted to hide it, he planned carefully but was careless in other ways. He seems to have become enraged and attacked in a frenzy, as if spontaneous, yet evidence shows that he planned and it was premeditated . There are so many things that point to this. If he is a serial killer, then it would appear that this was his first kill. No way of knowing for sure now, but he may have perfected his skills over a period of time. Jmo
Yeah, stop confusing us!! JK ....I think I know what you are saying. I honestly think the blackout or block out ( that sounds so weird) Rivera is referring to is when, in response to a traumatic event, your mind subconsciously "blocks out" the event. This is what I think Rivera is referring to when he says he does it after an event that upsets him or angers him. ( Not the same as a bad thing that happened and over time it becomes lost) NOTE, the term traumatic event is the word I am using, I am not quoting what he said. A couple threads ago I used the term and it set of a flurry of " who said that!", "was that in the affidavit?", causing some confusion. That being said, I think he learned about that somewhere and may have even planned all along to say it. However, after being interviewed by LE, realizing how much they knew and how much evidence they had, placed it in his story for convenience. Now what I would really like to do is try to figure out what, how and when, and put together a likely scenario of the order of events. Some posters have had some really well thought out ideas!! There must be others who want to do this too!!
