I was just sitting here thinking about the head injury. Does anyone think it's possible that when he was trying to place her in the trunk she tried to sit up and he slammed it shut on her head?
I will not even pretend to have read all these threads, so I don't know if this has been suggested or not.
T.R. anything is possible. Yes, CR could have slammed her head with the trunk as he was trying to subdue her. I THINK you are the first to posit this. Have a prezzle and a Miller!
I have previously posited that CR ran up to MT, maybe she threatened to call 911, and he tackled her to the ground (a lot of fights end up with people grappling on the ground), and maybe he slammed her head into the blacktop to stun her, causing "the" head wound. He then picked her up and carried her or dragged her to the car, and tried to put/dump her in the trunk (as it was time to get out of Dodge, and take her to where he could do his thing in more privacy), and she came to and fought like a wildcat! Losing his advantage, he slammed her head with the trunk lid, OR picked up something sharp from inside the trunk and stabbed her repeatedly to subdue her OR he did both, causing her to die in the 1900 block of 385th Ave before 20:28 as indicated on the Cloud FitBit data! He had an earbud tangled in his non-dominate hand because he held her by the throat as he slammed her head with the trunk lid and/or stabbed her. Maybe he took the offending phone at this point, and closed the trunk. He got in the car, and drove off, shaking the earbud loose in his lap as he steered the car.
He then drove South looking for a place to do his thing or dump the body. Maybe he passed near the deserted hog finishing facility or maybe he stopped there and the phone/FitBit left a digital footprint before he turned it off and/or put it in a mylar chip (Faraday) bag. CR continued to the dumping site in the corn field, looked down and saw the earbud in his lap, and the rest is per his documented confession.
OR aliens did it all, and CR regained his recollection after the characteristic "lost time" episode and the first thing he saw was the earbud, causing a partial recall...A heck of a defense!
Pick a scenario, as any thing is possible! But, yeah the trunk lid is a good point...
I just wonder if LE checked CR for "probing"....you would hope that the Greys would leave trailer folk alone, and go after those tasty Canadians....
