There are so many different stories that allegedly came from MB. What if none of them are true?
The following paragraph from "Indiana Monthly" has always interested me. The first half of the paragraph is MB's attorney putting the best spin on MB's participation in the night. But the end of the paragraph is attributed to VS, MB and CR's neighbor. Why would she have said this (that MB said LS was gone after he helped CR to bed) if MB hadn't said it? Why involve herself in a potential murder investigation? And if MB did say it, was it truth or was he trying to create a cover-up story that then changed because someone saw him bring LS to JR's, etc.,?
"Beth’s attorney, Ron Chapman (who also represents Rohn), tells IM that Beth, an IU student, stayed in all night to work on papers due that day. Chapman also confirms that Rossman was with Spierer when she came to the apartment, and that Beth helped Rossman into bed. Valerie Sokolova, a neighbor, tells IM that Beth has said he went upstairs and, when he returned, Spierer was gone. 'That was the last time Mike and Corey saw her,' says Sokolova."
IMO, MB said this to VS and then changed his story. It could have been a cover-up that he couldn't continue with for some reason (i.e., other people saw him with LS afterward?). Or maybe LS did leave while MB was helping CR to bed but then returned and MB took her to JR's?
It's also interesting that VS said it's the last time CR saw LS, which I assume is also what MB told her. If so, was MB speaking for CR at that point?
MB ties the two parts of the night together, i.e., LS arriving at 5N and moving elsewhere, wherever elsewhere might be. But quite frankly, IDK if was can believe any of his stories. It does sound like he was lying if he indeed told VS that he didn't see LS after she left his and CR's place.
