Some of my questions
- Why did SA call TH's phone multiple times and at least twice, and obscured his own number by dialing *67 prior to her coming out that afternoon?
Suspicious - agreed. I am one who agrees this is suspicious. Does it mean he murdered TH ? nope. But certainly I use it to weigh my opinions.
- Who else did TH interact with that fateful day AFTER visiting the Avery property? We know for sure she interacted with SA. SA had the receipt and a copy of the Autotrader that TH gives to each client after getting paid and taking the pictures, and those were inside his trailer. TH had 2 appointments prior to visiting the Avery Salvage Yard but she was never seen or heard from again.
This is a misconception that I had to, and I now see I was wrong. It was not a receipt, it was an empty bill of sale. The bill of sale was for a car, and it's purpose was to report the sale of the car if/when it happened. So when/if Steve sold the car, then that would be what he filled out and presented to the auto trader. It was NOT a receipt for the pictures. I made this same mistake, but verified that I was incorrect after TheDuchess pointing this out. The wording in the dassey transcripts was vague/misleading and I didn't have a clear photo of the document. I actually thought the document should have been filled out after completion of her taking pictures and getting paid. Not so.
- How did TH's cell phone, PDA, and camera get into SA's burn barrel?
Depending on what you believe, the police, or the killer. How did bones from halbach get in Barb Janda's burn area ? If the bones were moved, is it crazy to think those might be moved too ?
- How did SA get that cut on his right hand middle finger the very day TH was killed?
Suspicious. I agree. But he worked in a junk yard. So it's not a smoking gun imo
- How did Brendan's pants (the ones he produced and said he wore the night TH was killed, and said he was wearing when he and SA were trying to get rid stains in the garage with bleach) get large bleach stains on them if what Brendan said was false?
Agree with you here, and I'm probably the strongest supporter of this being indicative that brendan did help steve clean the garage floor that night. But the pants didn't have blood on them, or more accurately -- 6 months later they were not able to detect/confirm blood on them. The garage floor didn't have confirmed human blood on it. So is there a smoking gun here. Trust me, I am with you on seeing this as important, but I agree it's just one piece of evidence, not proof of anything.
- How did SA's DNA (this was not blood) get onto the latch under the front hood of TH's SUV? (Brendan had disclosed his uncle popped the hood and disconnected something). Who disconnected the hose that was found already disconnected when the hood of the SUV was opened to take the DNA swabs?
You will need to refer back to earlier threads and go over the interview transcripts, and you will see that they presented the idea that the hood was opened and brendan repeated it. How did they know the hood was opened ? because the knew the battery cables were disconnected. So they KNEW that getting brendan to say that the hood was opened, would give evidence that he shouldn't know. But, check back on this thread and you will see, it's simply not the case that brendan said this before it was fed to him.
- So it wasn't SA who killed TH? Then who did? (The police? One of the brothers?) How did the brothers get SA's blood or DNA into TH's SUV? Then why did SA fire 10 or 11 shots from his own rifle in his garage?
I still contend that I lean towards SA as most likely, and CA a close second. But I don't rule out police ENHANCING evidence because they thought they knew who did it. I even believe that police could have planted evidence and avery could still be guilty. In regards to the 10 or 11 shots. You are accepting that as relevant. The forensics show only 2 shots to the head. If you read the dassey trial transcripts you know there are gun casings all over the property, so why would it be odd for him to fire 10 or 11 shots on the property ? they have likely shot thousands of shots around the property and possibly in the garage -- you need to ask yourself why they didn't see those bullet casings and bullet until 6 MONTHS after the murder. right ? Lastly, don't you think 10-12 shots is a bit excessive ? But, if brendan says that amongst any other things he said that contradict, why does it have to be truth ?
