Interesting LoHud article. A few things stand out:
--I knew JW was 2 years older than LS, but this is first mention I saw that JW had graduated. Commencement at IU was held May 7th. Anyone know why JW remained on campus nearly a month after graduating?
--JW again alludes in the article to the reason he and LS did not make contact that night was because of her lost phone. However she did not lose the phone until as late as possible 2:20AM and at the minimum knowing it was lost/found at Kilroy's she had it with her until reaching the bar at approx 1:20AM. The basketball game JW had been watching ended by 11:45 if he watched live, so there would've been 90+ minutes for JW to reach LS before she became separated from her phone from after the game ended, if in fact she wanted to be reached. There had to be other reasons they didn't connect other than the lost phone.
--The article reports that JW was contacted by Kilroy's about LS's lost phone. This clearly would've been prior to the disappearance being widely known and Kilroy's realizing what a piece of evidence they held. MSM's initially reported that the bar called JW to say something like "tell your friend to come get her phone". Wonder what was subsequently said by JW to instead give him LS's phone rather than handing it over only to LS. Would "I'm her boyfriend be good enough" or something like "she can't come get it, or she's out of town now". Maybe it's just me, but I'd sort of hate to think that if I left my phone in a restaurant, that the restaurant would call someone I'd had text exchanges with to tell me to come get it, but then hand the phone over to that person who comes to pick it up on the premise he would return it to me - I might never know where it was found if that person weren't honest.
--JW clearly seems to be side-stepping the pointed questions of LE polygraph administration and results. He probably doesn't want to be caught in a lie, but also is leading the reader to believe something that he's not exactly saying either. If a polygraph is performed privately, one doesn't know the questions asked or exact wordings thereof, and contrary to what he says - no the whole world would not know the results if he failed a privately given polygraph because there would be no incentive or requirement to release those unfavorable results.
