Whoa. The brutal manner in which he planned this terrifying murder hurts my soul. Once TD managed to get Naomi to slide over so he could drive, he took control. He had a location or two in mind just for his evil purposes. Although we tried, it was the witness who recognized that fancy black truck who tipped him to LE.

I never debated over the offense the other unharmed lady experienced after her hike but do think now it likely was TD trailing her vehicle. He'd been trolling for a while. Naomi was in the wrong place when he spied her. Selected her. Targeted her.

She never saw him coming. How chilling to recall him standing, hidden in the bushes while staring straight at her in the parking lot.

And, there was nothing anyone could do to save her. May Naomi rest her innocent soul in peace.

“And, there was nothing anyone could do to save her. May Naomi rest her innocent soul in peace.”

I second this!

I really like the thought you've put into this, but IMO as a know-nothing about tech stuff, I think it would have the same fatal defect as when you follow a family member's shared location on their phone. That is, if an assailant takes a victim's phone, turns it off and/or throws it away somewhere.
That would render the app unworkable, I think? Or am I misunderstanding?

No. The tracking would work on a server. If the phone gets tossed or destroyed it would know the last location. But the notification process could begin immediately (even after the phone stops responding) rather than waiting days for LE to realize it's a crime and start subpoenaing cell phone providers. ...in fact if the phone itself is destroyed or turned off that would be valuable information it could report.
 
We now know she was killed by a gunshot to the chest and another to the head. We know from earlier reports that there was some yet to be disclosed evidence of a crime in the car (blood?).

The simplest conclusion is that he might have shot her in the car either immediately or in the first 12 hours (I don't recall when they found her car). Maybe she resisted, tried to escape, he shot her, then finished her off (sorry to be blunt).

I don't buy that anything was necessarily smart or well-planned. He failed and his life is as good as over. Good for her if she put up a fight and maybe indirectly helped take him down. If he got away with it (again), there would probably be more victims in the future.

I guess there's no point in asking how this ex-con with numerous firearms offenses got a gun.

Right! This guy has known how to get guns from a very early age.

From Ukiah Daily Journal, 26 Sep 1997, pg 1

"In 1994, Driver was sentenced to formal probation after being convicted of a residential break-in in which several firearms were taken, and the burglary of the Quality Firearms store on Orr Springs Rd."

He was 13 years old!

Can they tell if she was sexually assaulted or had she been deceased for too long?

From the amended complaint, count two kidnapping:

"Defendant did abduct Naomi Irion and did hold and detain her and did carry her away to the location in northern Churchill county, NV for the purpose of sexual assault and/or for the purpose of killing her..."

Maybe they don't know if a sexual assault occurred. Maybe she fought back before he could assault her.

And if he took her to Churchill country "for the purpose of SA or murder", does that wording mean they know she was still alive when he took her there? You can't assault or murder a dead body, there are other words.

For some reason, "and/or for the purpose of hiding her body" wasn't included... even though that's the crime he was previously convicted of with the first murder he was involved in.

I think one challenge would be how to identify a problematic/criminal phone toss/destroy/turnoff as distinct from the millions of times non-victimized people turn off or damage their phones.
 
We have a safety feature at work, you have to turn it on thru an app if you're working alone. I you don't check in/turn it off within 4 hours, someone calls. If there was no answer, police would be notified.

Staff hate it, and most don't seem to use it. If I get busy and don't turn it off when another staff member has come in, and they get that phone call, they're angry at me that I forgot. I think they're far more afraid of the hassle if police are called, than of any potential threat from working alone. It adds more stress to an already stressful job.

ETA, I live in what feels like a very safe place. IMO Fernley probably felt very safe, too.

If nothing else, we can have gratitude that TD is obviously not a mental giant or MENSA candidate. He made glaringly obvious errors in the commission of his crime.

He will, no doubt be facing a life sentence. We now have to worry about criminals who will review how TD was caught, and change accordingly.

He must used his truck, it would explain why he changed his tires.

I wonder if he changed tires before or only after his vehicle was splashed on missing posters? My guess is after, and I thought at the time his truck was shown being towed after his arrest, and still think perhaps, in addition to changing tires, he may have also changed wheels, as they clearly do not look the same to me. Perhaps the sheriff was just using the term 'tires', meaning entire wheels. Someone on a previous thread posted the pics side by side, but I have not found that post yet. When I do, I will post it again here. JMO

Pic, courtesy of poster @justme11 . Although there was debate about the colors not appearing to be the same initially, we now know these pics are of the same truck, but do they have the same wheels? They look like they could be different to me, but it may be distortion caused by looking through the fence. I think he was deliberately trying to get new tires on, so any tread mark castings wouldn't match , but might he also have put different wheels on, in an effort to hopefully disguise it? JMO

Yes, I recall a couple of past cases that involved matching tire tracks, so, IMO, this perp knew about that as a possible proof. But not realizing that police can still trace the purchase /installation of new tires.

IMO, in most cases, once someone becomes a suspect, it's very hard now to stymie police, not like in the bad old days before electronic money, DNA, or surveillance cameras everywhere...
