Actually Close - this makes the most sense to me but I'm not sure any murderer makes sense to begin with. You recall our exercises moving aerial maps around and such. Following those closely - one quickly sees there are only two entrances to this sub-division - one from the north and one from the east. There are no formal roads between the sub-division and properties to the west. Entrance to the west properties is made well west of the entrance to Enchanted Oaks.
Assuming the theory is JY - he could have been seen driving in his subdivision as there is only limited access. However, he would not seem out of place in his own neighborhood, nothing remarkable about seeing him. Going to the west properties, no one would recognize him, if they saw him at all but there does IMO appear to be a higher risk of actually being noticed, only because he would not have belonged.
Weighing the odds - he could have parked on the access road to the recreational complex in the sub-division - pretty remote road south of his home, not far, and most likely not in use during the wee hours. This also ties in with the little rumor that a delivery person might have seen something, you recall that rumor ? Clean laundry, towels for the gym and so on could have been delivered to the rec center in the wee hours of the morning.
Lots of possibilities...
