I am new to this thread, but have followed this case from the beginning, as have most of you that are still here. I am a graduate of IU Bloomington, and relate very much to this case (even though I graduated in 2003).
To add to the theory that is moving on this board lately, what about the same cast of characters pulling a mean prank? Maybe they put her in the dumpster because she was so wasted and out of control, thinking it would be funny for her to wake up there because of the "night she put them through"......
I only say this because I know of a friend that this happened to. Frat guys thought it would be funny, he passed out, they put him in the dumpster. Told him he was out of control and "deserved it"......
If she was alive when they put her in there....they could pass a poly about not being with her when she died.......just a thought that I have had, and felt I needed to share. Maybe they totally freaked out when they just expected her to be upset with them, and then she never turned up. They saw the dumpster had been emptied, and thought....time to get a lawyer. Maybe that also helps with CR asking if "anyone had seen a little blond girl".....
I realize this does not do anything to break the case, but food for thought.
