Lots of timeline talk recently has made me go back and review it again. Just have some questions and comments:
-So, let me get this right. . .Steven was kind of "working" for Travis but it does not seem to me like Steven was working for Travis AT ALL. Can we find ONE customer who used one of those flyers to get a hold of Travis for his services? If I was Travis, I would look at the timeline and say, "What the heck!" I mean, that timeline leaves very little time for doing work of ANY kind. Are we sure that Travis is in that business. . .and not some other kind? Was Steven doing some other kind of work for Travis instead of what we are supposed to think? I know I have seen statements from Travis but does anybody know this guy?
-If Steven was doing work for Travis of the window cleaning kind-and all the other things that are listed on that flyer-would not Steven have been carrying around some equipment? Yes, I know. . .he was just doing the "marketing" but c'mon. . .that kind of job is on the spot. You're telling me that Steven is passing around flyers and isn't at least slightly prepared to do a job on the spot if someone wants it? That's not generally how that kind of business works. It's like these guys who wash cars in parking lots. . .they don't pass out flyers, get someone to yes, and then come back the next day. They do it right then, right there. Am I missing something here?
-I find it weird that GW was up at 8am on a Sunday morning in Vegas. Under general circumstances, I would think he never went to bed. Think about it.
-Not cashing his grandmother's check? Don't know what to think of that. Pride? Lost it? Stolen. . .!!!?
-the stopping in at AN's in Ruby Valley is less and less feeling like a "secondary explanation for his trip there" reason. Really, he could have made that entire trip and nobody would have known. Why did he have to stop there? For example, if I am cheating on my wife (I'm not married) and I want to see my mistress across town and I get in a wreck on my way there, I have to come with an explanation of why I am over there. So, I go to a buddy's house. I go to a store. Etc. to provide a reasonable explanation. But, if I don't get in the wreck I go to her house and back and nobody knows. In Steven's case, AN's would be the store, the buddy's house, etc. The only problem is that there is no "wreck". Not that we known of. So, he could have gone the whole way to Ruby Valley and wherever without anyone knowing. So, why stop at AN's to provide an alibi or reason? That leads me to believe he went there to see her. There might have been something going on and he thought she was the only one he could trust. And needed to speak to her in person.
-those other phone calls on Dec. 13 in the morning besides GW's. I really think Steven would have given a reason to be in Vegas if he could talk about it. Like "I can't make it this morning because I am in Vegas on an interview." Or "I'm in Vegas meeting with friends" OR "I'm meeting in Vegas on business." Would Steven not feel, if he is as good as guy as everyone says he is, like he should give an explanation of some type? But, he didn't. That's odd.
-the whole flyer thing still sticks with me as well. I know the number on it was for Travis' "business" but could it not be that some nefarious person saw one of the flyers, called the number, got Steven's number, and then set up to meet Steven in Vegas? That would certainly make all the phone calls on his cell phone look normal.
Dang, I hate being the longest poster here. . .Just how my brain works.
One more thing, (And this is just a percentages thing) it is generally accepted that women are usually murdered by men they know. Usually it involves some type of sexual assault and violence. Ex-bf. Ex-husband. Whoever. Rarely are they just shot for no reason. For men, same thing, rarely are men murdered for "no reason". Yes, there are some freaks out there but the percentages are very low. Men are usually killed for money, property, drugs, etc. It could also be that men are killed by ex-bf or ex-husband of the girl they are now with. With Steven, far as we know he had NO money, meaning cash. His car was left there. He had meager possessions that were not taken. His phone was used once and never again. That leads me to either a "woman" reason. Or, he was killed (and yes I do think he is gone) for what he knew. I'm starting to think that the call between GW and Steven occurred while they were standing next to each other here in Vegas somewhere.
Ok, that was not very nice, but seriously...GW is about the only thing that we have not gotten any answers to since we started this. We even now know that SK didn't have his passport...which confirms in my mind that he did disappear intentionally.
