I woke up with terrible migraine this morning, so it probably wouldnt be a good idea for me to be driving (Im about three hours away from Holly), meaning no pictures this weekend ... Im so sorry!!
I have to go to Detroit some time in early June, so I will be more than happy to try again then.
Im very disappointed myself, as I really feel that photos of the scene will help a lot in trying to figure out how the murder might have unfolded.
I think we are doing a great job trying to identifying possible motives. One thing Im still very curious about is why LE are of the opinion that Ally likely knew her killer. Did they actually find something at the scene? Did Ally say something to the Good Samaritan or the first responders before she passed away?
One possible reason Ive thought of is Ally told someone earlier in the day that she was meeting someone later that day but not whom, where or the exact time.
Another scenario: The perpetrator told Ally s/he wanted to return something to her that s/he had borrowed from Ally or she had inadvertently left at his/her residence, such as a book, a portable charger, a jacket, earbuds, etc. (trying to think of things my kids friends tend to forget to take with them after a sleepover
).
If Ally had been avoiding this person, s/he could have even stolen something from her for the sole purpose of luring her into meeting with him/her.
If something like a book or a portable charger was recovered at the scene that someone close to Ally could confirm as belonging to her, they would know Ally wouldnt have taken these types of items with her as she left for her run. The item would have had come from a third party, IMO.
If a jacket, and either Nikki or Franz saw her leave the house without one (besides this happened in the middle of summer), then it would have had to come from elsewhere.
If earbuds, this may also explain why Ally didnt have her phone with her that day; Nikki may be assuming the rain was the reason for this, or she may have been told by LE not to disclose the true reason for investigative purposes. It would also be easy for LE to confirm the earbuds belonged to Ally by testing the tips for DNA.
Now time to try to catch up on some sleep ....
