I've read a lot of interesting things in this thread. There are a lot of unknown relationships. You've got a lot of drug use. You've got a missing girl. How are these all connected?
You've got a group of kids that reputedly, and according to their FB pages, use drugs on the regular. Where are they getting them?
- ZO, RUMORED to deal, and supposedly at one point, was involved in a DEA raid
- JR, RUMORED to have had issues at the dorms dealing cocaine/heroin
- DR, RUMORED to have had issues at the dorms dealing cocaine/heroin
Are they connected? Do they have the same source? Is one of the 3 a source for the others? Are they competitive?
Then you have JR and CR, who appear to be friends, since they were caught trying to break into Smallwood together...an incident which put CR on the ban list. (Funny, JR is never mentioned to be on that same list, despite being involved.)
You have an altercation between ZO (And AB? Other friends? Who knows?) and CR that is RUMORED to have started at Kilroy's. Continued to Smallwood, resulting in the punch and CR's removal. And according to a statement from Rossman's lawyer...also continued at 5 North. (I tend to think this is true but hasn't been confirmed/denied by BPD because they are suppressing it for some reason we don't know or understand.) Most drunken spats I know of tend to be over when someone leaves or is removed from the area. This one didn't. Why? (I don't think this is materially relevant to LS's disappearance but is still probably relevant to the events of that night leading to it.)
Also, if CR is wasted on Xanax and alcohol like is suspected, is the statement of amnesia just a PR move or is he hiding something? Is MB covering up something that happened at their townhouse prior to going to JRs?
You've got JR, who on top of his reputed dealing, is RUMORED to be a bit of a social outcast amongst his fraternity brothers. Fraternity brothers that include JW. He's also rumored to be the ringleader of many after-hours parties - parties where he is providing the "party supplies." It's probably a good way to get popular on campus, especially for a guy who's kind of on the outside when it comes to his fraternity brothers. Point being - he likely has people at his house at 4:00. Not just LS. What's keeping these people quiet? Does BPD know who they are?
Then you have JW. RUMORED to be possessive and controlling. Appeared to be on the outs with his girlfriend of a couple years. Apparently very linked in with the East Coast crowd. I wouldn't be surprised AT ALL if someone saw LS with CR, flirting, at Kilroy's, and immediately texted him that. How infuriating would that be to a "loyal boyfriend" - especially if he knew that not only did his girl hang out with CR at the 500 (believe me, this crowd is connected, I wouldn't doubt that he knew), but she's also cozying up to him at Kilroy's? Especially on a night that she was supposed to meet up with him? And the story about going to bed at 2:30 is not a solid alibi - it's so easy to head out after your roommates are passed out - happened at my apt often. It's also not unusual to have one of your drunken friends knock on your window to let them in to crash, if the walk is too far. I could see LS potentially knocking, and him stepping outside. She was not far from his house. Btown blocks are small.
Then you've got the ZO/AB bit. They're located on LS's way home. If JR was out of "supplies", would LS stop by? Does she know them? Has she ever bought from them?
If you're ZO/AB, and you know that JR was the "last to see LS" from the MSM, would YOU speak up if she stopped by your place? Is there even a way to stop by without being on camera? I'm not sure. (BTW, I think this is a slim to none possibility or someone would have brought it up earlier...)
I find the stranger abduction possibility to be so slim. LS has just a couple of blocks to walk home. College Ave is kind of hilly - it's not like you can spot someone stumbling ahead at 10th Street when you're driving 30+ mph south on College at 17th for example. You would have to spot her quickly, decide in a split-second you wanted to pick her up, slam on your brakes, and then grab her. While this could happen, it seems unlikely.
Just my random thoughts and questions...am interested if anyone has more answers!
