Welcome, ARW UK!
Agreed, about no other third party witness to the sketch guy. So much time has gone by and no sketch guy emerges. Wonder if something is off about the sketch. Maybe the guy is older or younger than 20 something. Or is completely in custom with a wig, glasses etc... Maybe he changed customs in the car. Came to the party as something else and switched late in the evening.
I shudder to think of how part of the CB's custom and purple wig got to the Flatrock, Peters Rd. location. But this too must be contemplated.
With the help of a friend I recently arrived at another theory of why CB might have walked off with the sketch guy. Perhaps not for a ride. CB wanted to find her friend and her phone. Maybe she was to borrow the sketch guy's phone, but there wasn't a signal where they were standing, so they walked away towards the cars to find better cell reception. Or, the sketch guy could have offered to walk with CB to another area where more cars were parked in hopes of locating her friend.
I think timing wise, Chelsea had a ride 'booked' with 'friend 2' for 3.15am and my understanding was the friend was on time.
Of course its possible that Chelsea borrowed sketch's phone but if the call connected then LE would most likely know the number and owner. I think Chelsea had already made the pick up call without sketch being involved.
We know the approximate time Chelsea was walking towards the car parking area was just after 3.00am so its quite a tight window imo.
The vendor says that Chelsea and sketch were talking amiably and were walking to the car park area and nothing seemed untoward.
I would suggest that Chelsea knew it was getting close to pick up time so was making her way there. Perhaps sketch was either going to be picked up by friends or was driving himself back home. Its not a stretch for him to have said 'I might as well walk you to the car park'
What we don't know is what happened at the car park. One might say that sketch was just a friendly sort and parted company with Chelsea. However you might have expected sketch to have come forward to LE once it was known Chelsea was missing and that LE wanted to talk to him.
On the face of it sketch may have seen or heard something. The fact he hasn't come forward is a red flag. Is it likely he was from 'out of town' and the resulting publicity hasn't reached him? (I'm on the other side of the planet and I am aware of Chelsea's disappearance)
When Chelsea was missing I believe 'friend 2' posted on the PXP event page asking if anyone had seen her. I think the Poison Ivy picture was posted but someone said they hadn't recognised Chelsea as she hadn't been wearing the wig.
Sadly we can only speculate on events from the point Chelsea walks to the car park. I personally believe that she did not take a lift from a third party. I think her actions suggest she was going there for a pre-arranged lift.
What does that leave you with. It might suggest an abduction but is that likely? Would not Chelsea have screamed? Her walk to the car park witnessed by the vendor does not indicate she was either drunk or under the influence of something that may have been introduced by a third party. Of course it can't be ruled out.
Might the 'Hero' story play in here? If what has been reported is the basic narrative, then it doesn't make sense. Explaining away the blood is a detail that isn't needed. Add to that the mothers narrative, you get an additional spin.
Chelsea waits for lift, perhaps sketch waits with her or leaves, but Chelsea is standing in the wrong place. Someone reverses quicker than expected and knocks her down. There is clearly blood on her (from earlier walk into a post) and perhaps driver and friends panic. Hero helps put Chelsea into vehicle. He knows other party but lies to LE to protect them (or himself)
Of course with this scenario it doesn't fit easily with what we subsequently to learn. Do they think they've killed her at that point, was the intention to get Chelsea to hospital but she sadly expires? It's difficult to reconcile the Flat Rock discovery.
Understandably LE has to keep back info, and that is right to do so, but it does mean our interpretation of events may hang on a premise that LE could say they've have satisfactorily discounted.
I have pretty much followed this case from day one. Learning that a girl dressed as Poison Ivy disappeared, that she was a fan of Final Fantasy VII and that she was a fan of Dr Who pretty much made a personal connection for me.
It's heartening that Chelsea has touched so many people.
