Ah...yes...I see your line of thinking. Thanks for clarifying.Thank you, you are right!My post is a bit all over the place and not clear.
I guess I got the impression from the article that the clerk and gas station wasn't approached by LE and she discovered the car footage and/or it wasn't turned into LE as she still had the digital copy and took pic with her cell phone. So I got the impression that gas station was missed or not canvassed.
I don't want to bog down the thread with my thought, as it was merrily a curious thought! I was more or less hoping to gain some clues/insight into the trail LE may have been following.
Interesting questions
Are we sure that we are looking at the same car? There could have been a few white cars driving around that night. I guess what’s confusing for me and why I think it may be two separate cars are the time stamps on the attachment. We are saying that the Hyundai Elantra was near the crime scene forty five minutes earlier, than the car is caught on CCTV at the gas station at 0345 and headed back to the murders scene? IMO, there were two separate white cars out that night that are not interconnected, possibly three with the marked police car on Taylor Ave. I don’t see a killer driving back to a crime scene that they had been to earlier that night. Something tells me that there was one separate white car caught on camera at the gas station at a later time and a second separate white vehicle seen near the crime scene earlier. That’s the only logical conclusion that I can come to.The car direction on White Ave. is disputed. Fox News clearly reports the car was traveling on HWY 8 when the photo was taken of a car at high speed. Fox quoted the night manager's testimony "The car drove by "real quick," she said, and turned down a side street off Highway 8" Whether you believe that is a 2 or 3 lane road, it is not clear from the image because the complete road and the angle can mislead this presumption. The only fact that is clear is the quoted detailed testimony of the manager, passing by on Hwy 8 and turning off a side street. To me, it makes sense to be traveling east away from the location and continuing the pattern of side streets. It demonstrates that they were very familiar with the path and the fastest way to go east. After the Exon station they may continue to go east or travel north along main roads or disappear within those neighborhoods. So, this may indicate it was a local not necessarily affiliated with the University community and very familiar with the area. Motive ? some exchange between the university students and locals potentially ? thoughts

So white car (Elantra) near the crime scene is important, while the white car at the gas station at 0345 is not related, yes?
I don’t think this killer stayed and enjoyed his crime, but at first thought, I pictured a self gratification scenario. The more I read, the more I think this individual only had execution in mind, though. All unprofessional personal opinions.
The focus on the white sedan makes me think that LE know more about this car than they are sharing.
Yes. Foregoing the white car that officers arrived in at the band field, it was another white Elantra near the crime scene earlier that is important OR this white car at the gas station at 0345 driving westbound toward the crime scene that is important. They are mutually exclusive vehicles.
Possibly assuming it was the same car.
A crime of opportunity
I doubt that this is possible.

Crime of opportunity
I agree, hopeful perhaps, but I have an inkling that there is a more fact driven reason for the public’s help in locating the car and inhabitants.

I thought about this too. Going on foot or riding a bike to where their car is located, but wasn’t it extremely cold and snowing? I’ve never lived in an area that gets this cold, would it be more suspicious to be on a bike during this time of year? Plus, what about shedding the clothes worn during the homicides- can’t ride a bike with those visibly on. I guess it was late in a small town and being seen wasn’t as much of a concern.
I agree with the notion that maybe the killer knew he was taking great risks but took them anyway. This mindset also bears similarity to the Sarah Everard case - she was abducted on a busy, well-lit main road at only around 10 PM. It seemed so risky that it didn’t make any sense at first. Ultimately it turned out that the killer had manipulated her into getting into his car because he was a policeman but anyone could’ve walked past at any point and indeed their interaction was caught on the camera of a passing bus. Maybe the compulsion became too much for the killer and it increased his risk appetite or he became less careful. It might be a case that he just simply got very lucky (with Sarah Everard - it could’ve taken police a lot longer had it not been for that bus passing at the exact right time). The police in this case also may well have a lot more information than they’ve shared so it might turn out the killer hasn’t been quite so lucky as it seems right now and indeed made some stupid decisions that will lead to him being caught - All MOO
