woe.be.gone - I love attention to detail. Thank you for that.
She shut the pumps off at 11:00 when closing was midnight? Again, just senseless. But that is just based on my experience working in a gas station 20 years ago. Maybe times really have changed and employees can do whatever....
Does anyone think that the suspect may have come in to use the restroom, and waited for the store to clear out? Are restrooms located inside or outside? Then again, why would she ever count money when a customer was in the store, or could enter the store?
None of the closing procedures in this case make a lick of sense to me.
Thank you. I'm not sure if she shut the pumps off. It was a question being bantered about due to the fact that the 911 caller couldn't get the pump to work at approx. 11:07. That's when he tried to get an attendent's (Jessica) attention.
For the above reason, I've been searching for an official listing of this Exxon's official hours. The first news report I saw listed the closing time as 11:00. Peeps have said that on Friday night they closed later but I didn't see an official hours listing. It's important to know for sure and I'd be interested in what the owner told LE and/or what LE believes the official closing time was supposed to be on Friday night. Very important in order to know if everyone is telling the truth or not. If the official time is 11:30 on Fridays, then no probs. Comprende?
On the other hand, if the gas station normally closed at 11:30 p.m. on Fridays, the abductor may have thought they had a headstart but, not really, because wouldn't they assume more customers would come along within a whole half hour time? If they thought it closed at 11:00, they may have thought they had a head start, in that, no more customers would come along. I wonder if all the lights were on. Someone (on FB?) said the back lights had been turned off and that it was Jessica who was to blame for not keeping the back light turned on per owner's rules. (That was his safely policy. :doh Why would she turn the back lights off? Makes no sense especially since she had 400 bucks in cash sitting in her purse on the counter. It's not like she was going to sneak back there to purchase something with all her money sitting on the counter in the front of the store. Very strange.
