Sorry, but I find it very hard to believe that any underage college girl is going to the bar to drink a non-alcoholic drink, but ...
She may have scared of getting caught; she had been caught by the police before. She didn't go to the bar to get booze; she went (we assume) to enjoy the companionship of her friend.
how do you know no one is bringing any charges against the bar?
The police could probably determine whether LS was served an alcoholic drink or not. They likely have camera evidence, the testimony of the bar tender, other bar personnel and CR. Depends on the set-up of the bar, maybe the receipt.
I think it's far too premature to even guess that yet.
They can lose their license or be sued in a civil court just for serving a minor, but no discussion of this possibility has turned up as of yet.
Without a body, or BOC we have no proof that she had any alcohol, but if we do, and there are witness to verify what she had, it's still possible. They surely have her on video.
I agree. They likely have some type of video images from the bar.
In all due respect, Walker, it seems like in every one of your posts lately, you're talking about her drink being spiked and/or them getting robbed. Can you please share what brings you to consider that? I mean, I wouldn't rule anything out right now as an option, but it just seems farfetched to me, so I'm curious. Thanks.
That's one of my current theories.
CR loses his memory, when? After leaving the bar. Since he is a large guy, who probably has a high enough alcohol tolerance, how does 45 minutes in a bar send him to oblivion?
LS has a heart condition, and also was once caught for being drunk by the police. She has very good reason to avoid getting totally drunk in public. Despite the mountains of gossip regarding this case, no one has described her as a drug addict or an alcoholic or someone who binges habitually. Like in Sherlock Holmes, the important clue was that the dogs did
not bark.
Both students are repeatedly referred to as "rich." An element of jealousy and hostility is obvious. LS wore several pieces of expensive jewelry. Maybe CR was carrying cash. Criminals then may have decided to target them for robbery.
One way to rob someone is to spike their drinks, which unfortunately is also very common in the college environment. Both students seemed to be similarly impaired after they left the bar.
Also, the searchers were told to look for LS's jewelry. Therefore, maybe something was missing. Early on it was stated that it could not be determined if LS had her prescription with her at the time of her disappearance. When was the purse thrown in the alley, and why?
In another post I described how the background emotion seems to be fear. They fled the bar to Smallwood quickly, then from Smallwood to 5 North. LS was losing necessary belongings along the way suggesting urgency. MB protectiveness toward CR also suggests a dangerous situation. MB staying up all night suggests vigilance. LS's party question might more likely have been intended to mean "do you need to take something to stay awake?" rather than an invitation to take a drug as recreation. LS may have then gone to JR's because all thought it was safer for her in case of another confrontation. LS/JR may have called DR @4:15 am to find out
what was going on: the timing of the call suggests urgency. LS could have left (if she left) in fear. Someone could have been watching, and picked her up in a vehicle on College Avenue.
Could be gang retaliation against LS because of her association with someone or some group who is suspected of informing on them and thereby causing a drug bust. Or it could be something else related to that possibility.
In this scenario, the other students may not know who is responsible; or they may have some idea, but they are terrified that the gang might attack their loved ones back home.
Of course, none of these considerations proves anything, but at this point, we don't have proof of any of the other theories either.
