Tylee went back inside the house to get Lori's purse after Lori got in the car, and I don't see any reason Charles would have stayed in the house with Alex and not followed Lori out because she had his phone.I think that’s a good possibility. Or Lori left in CV’s rental car/took JJ to school when he was still alive so he couldn’t do it himself, forcing CV to be left alone with AxC.
I don’t think AxC explained what’s CV was doing when he went to “his room” to grab his gun. CV could have attempted to leave at that time but what’s he going to do if he saw LV driving away in his rental? Chances are he turned around and went back inside. Hook, line, and sinker.
MOO.
The only thing I can think of is that Alex trapped him and was holding the gun to him. Would Charles have stayed quiet, knowing he was going to be killed whatever he did, while Tylee came and went and didn't hear anything? Alex wouldn't have known Tylee would be coming back in, but perhaps he was waiting to hear the car driving away before he killed him. It could explain why Tylee didn't see Charles dead on the floor, perhaps he was pinned to the kitchen floor, behind the dividing wall.
If Charles was not dead when Lori left, I think she would have wanted to know about his status when she came back. Alex could have sent her a photo, snapchat, but that leads to more questions. Why she would have told police she saw him after he was shot and left without calling for an ambulance. Perhaps she thought it wouldn't make sense that she left to take JJ when Charles could have taken him. It's a pretty major discrepancy that Alex says he shot him after Lori left and Lori says she was there, but it does explain why Lori has to make up the story of the fight on the floor which doesn't match Alex's story, and why she has to be so vague about where she was, what Charles was doing when Alex got his gun, why she couldn't say what Alex said to Charles, etc.
It helps to explain the one shot mystery, Lori says she heard the shot, Tylee says she heard a bang like a bat on the floor (perhaps Lori flung the bat on the wood floor as she was leaving), neither of them knew the real number of times the gun fired if Alex only sent a photo with no text, and the shot Lori said she heard was just a wild guess. Again, this discrepancy is huge, she wouldn't have said one shot if she knew he fired multiple times.
More to ponder...
