Good point, if she did see him / tell him she would call 911 if he didn't leave her alone (like he claims), she probably wasn't that spooked by his presence until he became more aggressive, and then I hope she blacked out from a head injury he inflicted on her, and didn't feel, see, or hear anything else before she died.
@ChuckMaureen bolded the date, july 19th, it should be july 18th, they were not agreeing with the date (i think, if that's wrong chuck sorry!)
I think MT, along with her fitbit and phone, might have went by the pig farm in the back of CRs car. Maybe it was there, just maybe it didn't stay there. Maybe that's when CR noticed she was tracking her run and decided to disable the device. Maybe he was going to leave her at the pig farm, but he noticed she was tracking her run, so he disabled the tracker and decided to dump her somewhere else instead.
Ok, thanks for responding. This is my first case so all I know ( or knew) is that usually I can't keep up and have to quickly skim through just to get caught up to the most current posts. It seems like now there can be 20 minutes between posts. It's certainly easier to keep up this way.
Oh, thanks , I thought he was referring to the route Mollie took so I couldn't figure it out!
Yes, that's a good possibility that would explain LE searching the pig farm very early on (in fact two or three different times, I think) - Mollie's fitbit (that looked like a watch so maybe he didn't realize what it was at first or wasn't paying attention) was disabled there, so he didn't want to also leave her body there to be found (red herring?)!
Thank you! Wow, it looks just like the video you took, everything looked so familiar, even that red truck parked on the side of the road... until it gets close to the end. I can see how secluded the area is where she was initially attacked!
I've always thought that's where he stopped to get rid of the evidence, and either turned off the phone there or got rid of it there. It wouldn't have mattered whether or not he got rid of the fit bit, imo
Be cautious of the Des Moines Register, that's Iowa's version of the National Enquirer.
I believe he had already killed her and left her in the cornfield by the time he went by the farm. I don't think he drove by with her body at all. I think that's when he realized he had to do something about the phone. I think the fit bit stopped transcribing before this. Jmo
he was definitely not the best choice for a defense attorney, and he should probably never run for any kind of office, but I think the satirists would love him. I wonder if CR planned to dump him all along, or if it was his careless interviews by news reporters that clued him in.
beg to differ, sir. The Register has an outstanding reputation, especially in reference to politics
Yeah I noticed the commentary wasn't too great. Or accurate. To say the least. But the video put things in perspective. even if it's only loosely based on the route she took.
Maybe that explains why the reporting wasn't so great, they don't report on Murder cases very often.
Maybe that's why he looked so mad during the hearing, he didn't like his lawyer.
I definitely think he did not leave phone or any other evidence with the body. He may have left the fit bit on her, but it wouldn't have mattered either way.
Good eye. I hadn't even expanded it. I saw it earlier and assumed it was a misprint ( or else we'd been wrong all along, or they have, about the date.) By the way, how do you put things in bold? I would love to be able to do that to emphasize. I'm using a phone and have no idea if I can do it or not.
Watching that last stretch broke my heart.
