Can someone clarify: did JR say that LS used his ph to call DR (no answer) and another unnamed male?. So if she managed to ring JW w no message, JW would see JR #, right? Or am I getting this wrong. THX.
IIRC the second phone call (in addition to the phone call to DR) was said by LE (or PI's?) to be an individual who had been present for the basketball game/pre-game drinking at Smallwood prior in the evening.
I thought this excluded JW as being the second phone call, as IIRC he was not with Lauren that night at all.
Dixie, Thx for 2nd ph call detail. This would then, appear to exclude call to JW.
Correct me if I am wrong, but we actually have no idea if HT was even at the apartment that night-- correct?
For all we know she may have spent the night sleeping over with a male friend or even other girls she was hanging with, then popped back into the apartment to clean up and change before her class the next day. Or simply returned very late, after the ZO/CR confrontation happened.
Or do we know for sure that she was at home?
This is my personal opinion and not based in fact, but I do feel that if HT had been present and aware of the fight happening between ZO and CR at Smallwood and seen Lauren's state, she would have led her into the apartment and Lauren likely would have passed out and slept until the next morning if she was as intoxicated and unable to function as we have heard from the PIs (or she could still have had an accidental death due to whatever she ingested earlier). I also don't think that CR's presence would have been a deterrent (again this is opinion) because in my experience, roommate often takes precedence over "random guy friend". She would actually have been relieving CR of a very drunk girl who was apparently needing to be carried, etc. and I don't think CR was in any situation to put up a fight with HT after just being punched in the face.
In conclusion, I don't know if HT was even present at the apartment at that time. If she was, I really just don't believe that she was aware of what was taking place out in the hallway between CR/Lauren and ZO. If she had been, I doubt JW would have been the only one raising the alarm initially the next morning when Lauren was MIA.
And you don't believe Hadar is capable of betraying Lauren because.....?
Huh, I thought CR and JR were the ones who "pushed Lauren into the night helpless and barefoot..."
I'm having trouble following you, because my understanding of all the reports about this case is that: No one has ever said that CR and LS were holding hands or kissing, etc. He was dragging around an intoxicated, incapacitated girl. No one has claimed that the fight at Smallwood had anything to do with anyone being mad Lauren "went outside her clique" or a frat boy turf war. The witnesses and PIs said ZO and friends were concerned about Lauren's condition and Corey's behavior towards her. And, a few minutes later, the bar manager witness stopped Corey to ask if Lauren was okay too, for the same reason. She wasn't "ejected from her apartment" by her girlfriends. Corey carried Lauren out of Smallwood.
Lauren was definitely let down and betrayed by people she trusted that night, I agree with you there. But as far as I can tell, your theory about Lauren's female friends being involved, stealing her phone, locking her out of her apartment, ratting her out to JR, etc. isn't based on anything that has been reported...
As usual I agree with you. The only thing I don't agree with here is that when ZO clocked CR, there is no indication that they had any concern for LS. They may have TOLD investigators that, but no one actually seemed to help LS, they were fixated on CR. (I still want to know if CR is the one that used LS's keycard to get into SW)
I especially agree that a lot of stuff being talked about now no longer has any basis in fact. That happens when cases get cold and no news is forthcoming from LE. Cases can take many years to solve as frustrating as that can be.
As we see it, the critical path of LS and CR leads from Kilroy's to SW to 10th & College, to the Alley, to the gravel lot and that's it for LS - ALL FACTS.
From there we have wallet and keys dropped and found nearby to the left of the Alley exit into the gravel lot - FACT.
Dog hit at the dumpster - HERESAY.
LS supposedly at CR/MB's between 3:00am and 3:30am - HERESAY FROM MB
LS supposedly at JR's between 3:30am and 4:30am - HERESAY FROM JR
4:15am 2 calls made from JR's to: DR and ?? - FACT
If JW were getting texts about the incident at SW, LE would have serious reason to haul him in. Didn't happen. JW claimed to be asleep and there has been nothing to refute that.
The timeline later in the morning remains very fuzzy for me.
The sequence seems to go like this, but would like to have verifiable times to attach:
JW calls LS (guessing 8am)
JW calls HT (est 9am)
JW gets key from HT (est 9:15am)
JW goes to SW (est 9:30 am)
JW goes to CR/MB's (WHY?)? (est 9:45am)
JW goes to JR's?
CR & MB go to drug store ask about little blonde girl (est 10:00am)
Mr. Spier arrives?
JW and Mr. Spierer go to CR/MB's?
JW and Mr. Spierer go to JR's?
LE is called
DB makes runcible spoon tweet
Alan Wolff joined his son in Bloomington shortly after the disappearance. He said he had his son take him to Rossman's apartment.
"I knocked on the door and asked for Corey," the father recalled. "I confronted the kid. I just looked into his eyes. I saw fear."
I I know of at least one vehicle on the SW video that has never been in any reports from LE. I'm really really discouraged because I feel like there is either so much that LE knows that they aren't sharing or hopefully not, but that they missed too many important facts in the beginning.
I didn't say I think it is impossible for HT to act poorly as a friend. It is just my opinion that it is not likely things went down the way you have described.
In addition, if Lauren and HT had some sort of "feud" or fighting going on between them that would have prompted HT to want to betray Lauren by locking her out of her own apartment or putting her in a dangerous situation, I think that other friends and also JW, Lauren's long-time boyfriend would have been aware of it. In which case LE should have examined HT's whereabouts and motives very carefully.
I didn't say I find it impossible. IMO, it is unlikely.
We can agree to disagree :seeya:
I was just thinking and I had this thought that seems so simple that I'm not sure why I never thought of it before, but earlier this week a read about a case where a couple of guys show up at a party, the party has pretty much ended and the guy giving the party had one girl left over, intoxicated and no ride, these guys offered to take her home. Instead they raped and killed her. Without video of the street outside JR's how can we be sure this didn't happen to Lauren? So, we know that JR and MB were calling around trying to find Lauren a ride and we know about the 2 calls, but what if JR did find her a ride without using his phone to do it. What if he handed her over to someone that said they would take her home. Someone, that when Lauren disappeared, wasn't someone JR could point to for some reason. I want to know who was selling to or buying drugs from them and if there were any major drug investigations going on that led to a bust not long after Lauren disappeared? Also, I wonder exactly how much traffic is shown on the various videos and if LE really tracked down them all and cleared them all. I know of at least one vehicle on the SW video that has never been in any reports from LE. I'm really really discouraged because I feel like there is either so much that LE knows that they aren't sharing or hopefully not, but that they missed too many important facts in the beginning.
