Except Faith texted BE 4 minutes before KR started her consecutive phone calls to BE. Faith texted at 3:40 and then again at 3:43 to correct first text. IMO, I always thought that was odd. Usually, IMO, if you make a mistake texting you usually see it right away and send the correction immediately. In texting world 3 minutes is a long time. IMO. Faith then texts Ty at 3:52...KR calls BE: 3:44,3:52,3:55, and 4:14. I find the timing of the texts and calls suspicious. IMO, there seemed to be a lot of desperation in the calls and content of the text messages. The fact her Facebook page was accessed around 3:30-3:40 (cannot remember the exact time at the moment) and it has mostly been stating “someone” accessed her Facebook makes me think LE knows it wasn’t her, which is why I question if it was actually Faith making those text messages. (snipped)
I stand corrected about the call/text timeline. That's what I get for not double-checking.
One thing to note, though, is that we don't know for sure that we've been told about all the calls and texts for either Faith or KR. In fact, it's virtually certain that we
haven't been told about all of them. We knew about all the texts and calls from the girls to BE since 2014, but we only found out about Faith's text to TM this past April. There may well have been others. We've never been given any information about KR's communications with JM, be they calls or texts, but we know they
had to have taken place (otherwise, how would he know to come get her?). So the appearance of a flurry of calls and texts might not have actually been reality, either or both of them may have been quite actively texting/calling for an extended period of time.

IMO, I think Faith was killed in Karena’s presence. The first thought of whoever was involved was to get either Ty or BE to come to the apartment to “discover” Faith. Leaving the door unlocked would make it easy for either one of them to just walk in. JMO.
OK, let's dig into that. In regards to TM (Ty), the text message actually doesn't make any request of him. It's lovey-dovey and sweet. So if the intent is to get him to come over, it's very ineffective (as indeed, he didn't). Of course, it's not unheard of for a guy to get a text like that and take it as an invitation, but that leaves a lot to chance (he might just call and see what she's thinking). If it's a decoy text with that intent, a far more effective way to get a guy's attention is just a "Hey- can you to come over right now?" Any interested guy who gets a text like that at 3 or 4AM is going to immediately get the message and start looking for his car keys.
The alternative theory (that KR planned to leave with JM, and called BE so he'd show up looking for her and discover Faith) makes even less sense if you're KR trying to create an alibi. For one, it would have meant Faith was discovered about 7 hours earlier. Considering KR would have left mere minutes before, that would establish that she
had to have been present when the murder took place, instead of providing a 7 hour window (most of which she was gone for). Second, though, the texts to BE are exactly what I just described above- a very direct invitation. They're by Faith on KR's behalf, but KR calling him multiple times establishes she's trying to get him there too. Deliberately drawing him over there only for him to find that KR's mysteriously not present but Faith's dead body is would not help her escape suspicion: It would immediately make her Suspect #1 to LE.
I do wish we had a complete text/call log from the night, because that would help figure out questions like that. You might be on to something if KR arranged the JM hook-up before she started up with BE. I think the idea is a lot less likely if she didn't start trying to get up with JM until it was clear BE wasn't going to respond.
