At this point, I can’t see an obvious explanation for what was going on. I don’t believe Bailey was really “ looking for love”. If you are, you don’t use a phone name. She and Aubrey are grifters; they were up to something. But what?
Sydney was a retail clerk. I don’t see how she would have been worth the trouble of any “shakedown scheme”. Certainly not one that could lead to murder. And, this was the second “date”. They knew Sydney’s situation.
It has occurred to me that they were looking “partner” to work with them and thought that a young women with a gay inclination who didn’t have a whole lot going on in her life might be a good fit. How that would lead to Sydney’s death isn’t so clear. Perhaps they offered her a taste of the High Life she could expect if she joined up with them and it went wrong. Realistically, in the Mid West, when someone disappears and then their body turned up, the most common explanation is opioid overdose. An accident that nobody involved wanted to be associated with once it became a law enforcement issue.
This is all speculation. We will know a lot more and be able to make more sense out of it once the results of the autopsy are know. My guess is that one of the two will cut a deal and it will all come out soon enough.
