Wow, that video was fascinating. It's definitely the most complete account I've heard of her trip from Kilroy's to JR's house. And whoa! I either forgot or did not know that JR was a an old camp friend of hers. Camp is also how she knew JW.
MB's alibi seems so implausible to me. He said he had been drinking but was also home studying in the wee hours of a Saturday night. Who does that? The most studious wouldn't be drunk if they were studying on a Sat. night, and the type of guy to have drinks before studying isn't likely to be in on a Sat. night hitting the books. However, since JR puts LS at his place just prior to her disappearance, it's hard to imagine how MB would have been responsible, unless MB actually joined LS and JR for some more partying. But why would JR agree to go along with a lie that puts him alone with LS if it weren't true?
That has always been a most curious question. CR's story is full of holes. MB's story is full of holes. JR's story covers for everyone else and then sets it up for a dead end.
After spending years going through the details and known facts, I and many others arrived at the same conclusion as Charlene Spierer.
The theories boiled down to more about did LS die in the parking lot or at 5N, was she raped, and how did they get rid of the body.
So why would JR cover for the others? I think it was to orchestrate a tight defense for everyone. And to control the timeline such that her body would be removed and evidence cleared.
CR claimed amnesia - how convenient. MB's conflicting stories have a common thread that he did see LS, but he is in no way responsible.
So in this type of case to prosecute for her death ( had she not vanished and the cover up taken place. ) LE and prosecutor would normally have them pointing fingers at each other.
If pointing fingers at each other, you would have all sorts of culpability. Who gave LS which drug and where and when? Why didn't they call 911? and so on...
Instead you have JR taking the heat. And this heat is better than the other heat, because he is in control of the whole thing.
The clever guy with the most money and the best lawyer. The guy who had everyone at his place. The guy who had out of town friends there.
It's only his story since he claims to be the last to see LS, no finger pointing from CR or MB.
And somehow LS is removed and never found and no one sees a thing.
JR's story isn't full of holes, but it does raise several very interesting questions.
It's a carefully crafted story designed to get everyone off the hook. But it's not believable.
So, JR's best defense was to take it all upon himself so the other 2 aren't adversaries.
JR then passes the blame onto some imaginary abductor.
Think about it... the 2 people who could prove JR is lying would incriminate themselves.
I don't think you can get an immunity deal if you say... we were all there and she died... but it was all JR's idea to cover it up to save all of our asses.
And I strongly think a 4th person was involved. I think a 4th person removed LS's body and disposed of it.
And only JR may know that 4th person. Again, a separate mutual loyalty.
